Real Montana Ranch Round Up! Shipping Time

If you wonder why ranchers take the calves away from the cows when they are only 8 months old, this video will answer that question.

Separating cows from calves is one of the final steps in a year of Montana Ranching.

Real cattle ranchers only get paid once per year. That is at shipping time in the fall.

The calves are weened on the same day they are shipped. It is a stressful but rewarding day in a Montana ranchers life.

To those who think its mean to separate calves from their moms: It is necessary, the calves are old enough to eat on their own. With winter coming on, the mommas don't need to be using their strength making milk. They need to be in good shape to make it through the winter. Its better for both the cow and the calf, especially in a cold winter climate. If you left them together, the calf is more likely to wind up motherless anyway as the cow may not make it through the winter. As to the separation, they get over it in a few days.

When the kids used to get upset at the calves & cows bawling, I used to tell them it was just the calves starting school. Then it was ok. 😃

I got up, had some coffee, took a shower and went to church. Came home, ate some leftovers and now I'm in my recliner watching you herd cattle. Now that's contrast! Thanks Trinity!

My new Favorite YouTube channel it's about real life some never experienced. There's nothing better than the great outdoors and Ranching is not what some think, it's a 24/7 365 day in day out. If you don't think Ranchers like this are the true backbone of America that's OK. Without Ranching we become vegetarian and I don't do no meat for me.

Thank you so much for uplifting my heart. My daughter was born in Whitefish, Montana, in '67 before it got "discovered". If I'd been there with the right man, I'd still be

I know absolutely nothing about cattle or ranching but I LOVE this channel. So glad I found it. There is something so calming and soothing about it. From the cows mooing to the sound a leather saddle makes. In this tech savvy automated world it really is great to go back in time to how our great grandparents lived in the 1800s. The GO PRO or whatever Trinity uses when he’s riding makes you feel like YOU are on the horse. So cool.

It’s amazing the things you all know like putting constant pressure on the bulls to keep them from turning around and running you over. I enjoyed the video. Thanks for bringing us along.

From a man with roots in the East Coast meat business, I can only say that I had no idea how much HARD work goes into this country's meat supply - THANK YOU!

Keep the cool vids coming, love the Montana scenery, and the touch of the timeless quality of ranch life in that part of our country!

You all make working all those cattle look easy. The first cow we got we were clueless. It was New Year’s Day evening. It was dark cold and raining. Everything was so muddy we couldn’t get our trailer to the pasture so I not having a clue though I would just unload her and the calf and walk her back. She was halter trained after all….. NOT! Lol. She came out of that trailer like greased lightning dragging me behind like nothing. We chased her for miles up and down the main road for hours. She even got hit by a car and never even slowed down. I eventually was able to get the halter rope tied to our suv and then to our tractor to lead her back home. An experience I’ll never forget. We still have the cow.
Thanks for sharing.

Great intro with the mooing. Something about it feels powerful.
Thanks for the video Trinity, we love you brother!

I appreciate when you were explaining about putting pressure on the bull. Never really think about those things.

Here in Australia, we call a ranch like this a ‘cattle station’, and I have worked on a few in my younger years. The first time I was involved in weaning the calves on a property I was working on, the hands I was working with left a a cow and calf in the yard as the last pair to be separated. Then the boss casually, suggested that I move that old cow out of the yard so they could get the calf in the pen with the others. I was a bit green at the time, so I didn’t realise they were setting me up. Apparently this old cow, was notorious for her bad temper, and when I walked toward her waving my arms to try and move her, she just pawed the ground once, and proceeded to send me over the fence. I was pretty careful after that.

That’s some tough work and definitely a young persons job. Like many tactical occupations, the body starts saying no after a particular age. You’re doing great work for America. Thank you.

As a techer of English I was abre to learn a lot of vocabulary. This is done in Uruguay too. In fact, I was one of the helpers on horseback. Great video.
