A Rancher Favorite Day of the Year!

All right Bobs, I'm gonna go to work. Take care of your mother. Give us a little smile this morning. She looks at it, doesn't she? You think you'll come over later, honey, maybe? Help us move some cows. I'll let you know what time. Hey, let go. She's got pretty hair, doesn't she? Yeah. All right buddy, we'll see you in a little bit. Good morning, Angus. Are you ready to go to work? Sit down. Sit. Good boy. Angus, sit. Good boy. Let's go to work. Yeah, come on. Good morning, everybody. Hope you're all doing well. It is a beautiful day today. Probably 70, 75 degrees. Sun is shining. Just feels good. But we've had that weather for probably about a week. It's really helped the grass get a kick start, start growing. So today is about a rancher's favorite day of the year when we can get the cows out on some pasture and be done feeding them. Now we've got our cows into four groups. We're not going to get all four groups turned out today. We're just going to get two of them turned out. Then we've got to sort some out of one of the groups like we did in the past video. But yeah, either way, it just feels great to get some groups of cows out on pasture, get them grazing grass, be done feeding them hay. So we're really looking forward to today. Going to grab a couple of horses. Probably grab Trump, Dirk, Big D for Jock, and we'll get going here. Not too long. Come on, ponies. It's a good day for a little workout. Come get some feed. Hi, Jewel. How are you? Get in there. Dirk, you want some oats, don't you? The horses are all losing their winter coats. Everybody's pretty hairy by being brushed down. The curry comb feels pretty good. So we just brought this group of cows down the road, probably about a mile. Now we've got them into the pasture where we'll keep them for probably a couple of weeks. But we're just keeping them contained in this corner. Let the cows find their calves, let them pair up. Otherwise, they'll just take off. We'll have cows and calves out on the road. We're just going to give them a little while to pair up. How'd moving the cows go, honey? Pretty easy. Pretty easy, huh? Beautiful day, huh? Yeah, it's nice. Bub's liking the beautiful day. He's going to take a nap. I think he's going to fall asleep. He looks like it. Some nice fresh air, some calm moon. Yeah, nice warm ride from side by side. Yeah, put anybody to sleep. Yeah. So this is perfect. Yeah. Yeah, there's a lot left over from last year. A lot of grass. It would have been a warmer week. Yeah. Didn't get things growing yet. Yeah. How long do you want to keep them in here? It takes about a week for it to start. We've done seven days in there. It doesn't get heat twice. Yeah. You know, so it doesn't, you know, start hurting the rest. Keeping it from being as vigorous as it would be. Right. They're going to be in here longer though because we only have one pasture for these guys. Yeah. They'll be in here for about three weeks. Three, yeah. This is a little longer. Yeah. All the other bunches of cows, we've got them on the little pastures more except for these. Yeah. We need to just figure out. Yeah. I like short duration, high intensity grazings. Yeah. Do you want to give us a tour of your very own first garden? No. What have you got so far? All right. Hey. Angus, stay down. Angus, stay down, please. Good boy. Good boy. Good job. Stay down. Don't eat a potato. Okay. Right here, I have kohlrabi, which is what I've never had. It's like a mix between radish. But you grew up eating them? Well, yeah, kind of. They're kind of weird. The last couple of years anyway. Yeah. This is where my beets are going. My beets are currently in my hand. Okay. I soak the seeds overnight. Very nice. Water. These are my radishes. Radishes. And then carrots. And carrots. And then these are my snap peas. And they'll need a trellis. So we'll build one of them. I'll have to do that. And then these are my onions. Onions. We'll see. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to plant like the shoots in the ball. No. But these were like seed pellets. So we'll try that. What else are you going to put in here? And then right here at the end, we're going to do potatoes down here. And then hopefully do like some tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers. Bell peppers. Jalapenos, maybe. Green beans. We don't really know what we're doing. This is our first time. Damaris has been doing all the research. So give me some tips in the comments. Yeah. You guys probably have a lot more experience. So if I did something wrong, please enlighten me. It'll be better next year. Hey, you got a potato. Did he get a potato? Give me that potato. He can have that one. You want two rows of potatoes or one? You probably only have enough for one. Well, I'm planting seeds about half inch down. Beet seeds. Beet seeds. Yeah. Half inch down and then about an inch or two apart. And then you just lightly cover them, from what I've read anyway. Yeah. And I did soak these in water for about 24 hours. The internet said it's supposed to help germination. So we'll see. We'll see about that. And if you hear that in the background, that's our baby monitor because Silas is making noise. And we've got some old spuds. I have some eyes coming. So I'm just going to plant these a little ways apart. About where you planted them? Yeah, somewhere in there. We could probably dig them up and find them. Looks like we got some rain coming. Help everything grow. Well, thank you all for coming along today. We do really appreciate it. Hope you're all doing well. Feels really good to have the cows out on some pasture, eating some grass. I know they're loving that too. But yeah, Bubz is taking a nap. We're going to go hang out with him once he wakes up. So anyway, thank you again for coming along. We'll see you all in the next one. Bye.
