Cow Adopts Calf After Hers Died…

-Welcome to the Sleep Ranch! We are located in the Northern Black Hills on the South Dakota/ Wyoming border where our ancestors settled and started ranching in 1883.

I (Carson) work alongside my parents, Jeff and Jodi, our ranch hand, Jaques, my wife, Damaris who also works as a nurse in town, and our son Silas! We have friends and family who come along very frequently as well!

We run a cow/calf operation where we summer our cattle on the Black Hills National Forest and winter them in the foothills of the Black Hills. We also have a backgrounding feedlot, and grow alfalfa and grass hay.

To God be the Glory

It’s been a good winter for calfing hope the prices stay good for you and the family 😊

[nesandhiller]

Carson, we both know you ended up with a "best case scenario" with that grafted calf. 🙂 Good for you!! 💯 Calves look healthy, and hopefully, they stay that way for you.

Was actually happy to see your channel today, and your happy family, after getting bad news from another cattle rancher from our wyoming life, right near you, Mike signed off and leaving after 8 years, his family is breaking up, namely divorce, as he said in his last you tube, reason is private which is rightfully so. But it sad to see it go, but seeing your family and kids usca pick me up. Your channel on whating cow operation is about tge only one left now, so keep going.

You have precious babies. Damaris you look exhausted. Hope you have a little help with your babies.
Calving is going great. Carson you sure do have your work cut out for you. Have a great weekend.

❤🎉😂 Carson your little family is just the sweetest and gives me smiles and chuckles when we get to see the babies plural lol!! 😊
That was so educational when you saved that twin calf. Boy he really was persistent in latching onto his new momma!! That's great how you got her to adopt him!! 🐄🤩😁
You're a good steward and good at informing us about your journey and thanks for your videos!! ♥️🙏🇺🇸⭐☺️🎥😁

Cool to see Silas calling you Dada. He seems to be picking up words pretty quick.

[kathyline]

That is amazing how that works! Good job Carson!

[patriciabeyer]

My goodness, there are so many calves!! The boys are growing so fast and talking. ❤❤

[genewileyopa]

Enjoyed the video. I seen you skin a calf last year to adopt it. Seems crude, but it works. Thanks for sharing. O the kids look happy. Nice little family. Keeps momma busy.

[robertjones]

That is not unusual.We had a cow who adopted 3 calves.From then on we kept her around the ranch and over the years we would bring other leppie calves to her.She lived to be 15 years old
A amazing cow and mother.

Hi Carson, great to see the Heifer Calving going so well.

[jimaalbers]

Another great video thanks for taking the time to do this

[lynnalohaaloha]

Damaris looks so tired. You are doing a great job Damaris. Both boys are so cute and adorable. Love seeing all the new calves. Glad the mom took the new baby so its one less thing for you guys to deal with right now.

[dalewadsworth]

Glad to see mom and the boys doing well. Silas looks great walking around.
The herd is really looking good Carson. Hold onto them . Lots of Texas ranchers NW of me will be looking for for good stock. The biggest need now is for hay 🙏Keep them in your prayers.

[AmandaDoll-hidr]
