Good morning.
Just going to jump on for a minute before Holy [ __ ] there's no Russes in here. Um, I was going to jump on a minute. We can't set [ __ ] all morning though.
We got to get [ __ ] done today.
There's a little rowdy.
Rowdy, I'm going to pet you. Don't make me catch you and hold you down to pet you.
I've tried that method, too. It really doesn't matter. Just at a certain age, they'll start coming around when they see the other ones.
It's That's more typical. That's about 99.9% of calves act like him.
Roro is probably my first ever cow on calf or calf on cow that I have ever seen except somebody like she has.
Um, she's just Ruth is on the same level, but Ruth also did not let me pet her for a few months.
Ross, what is going on? He's finally and God bless and everything.
Ross is up, man. He's had coffee.
He went down to the street vendor.
There's my neighbor from Missouri.
Carrie. Is it Carrie?
I'm sorry. I was trying to get your name right. Like you could say your name through the phone or something. I don't know why I asked stupid [ __ ] either part of the time, you know? like I So today on our episode now that we've recovered from our vacation.
Um I'm going to move all this fence out right here.
I'm just going to temporary it.
I'm going to make it big enough that I can I'm going to take it right here. I'm gonna take one wire. God dang. I don't know what bird that is, but that some [ __ ] is so loud.
I'm going to just run it from right here.
I'm just going to run it to that far tree and just temporary it to that far tree and then go across over. Find a tree over there and then I'm going to box off where we've been feeding them here. Move that feed trough down there.
And then we're gonna start moving some dirt.
Oh, can y'all hear that bird? Is that a mocking bird?
No, I can't see real well. No, I think that's a mocking bird.
But anyways, the goal for today.
Oh, you all can't hear.
Uh the sound thing is on. I guess some people have an Uh a uh good morning lazy bastards. Nikki, don't forget to hit the like, share button, right? And if you don't subscribe, figure out how to subscribe and hit the subscribe button.
Quick question.
Do you add anything to boost your pickling cucumbers on your vines? I planted a few. Uh, you know, I'm going to do a garden update.
I can't remember the brine that we use.
We add a little bit of extra stuff to it. Um, but I add a uh if you don't have any uh crisper um found out you can put a grape vine leaf, a good grape vine, grape leaf, half of one, you put it on top after you get through with your brine and your pickles and it'll it won't give it that that after flavor, that after taste that the crisper gives it, but it'll keep your pickles crisp. That's what the old-timers used to use. I found that out about I don't know 10 or 15 years ago.
And I was really skeptical, but any kind of grape, a leaf off a grape vine will uh keep them crispy.
Um I'm about to do some brine. I mean, we we still got another month for our cucumbers to produce anything. Would you ever buy another bow line? And if you do, what do you think?
Yak. Oh, man. I would love I would love I was thinking last night um of what we could get.
But I I have so many projects right now. I would say y'all stick with me in the next year or so.
We'll have all kinds of [ __ ] I get a wild hair. It doesn't take long for things to start going south pretty quick.
So, but today I'm going to move all this barb wire and uh run the corell. I'm going to run the temporary barb wire to that tree and cut across over there so I can start. I'm gonna bring this up a little bit more.
And then I'm going to come off these post across here. And we're going to start on the corell. I want to level it just a little bit more. I want the [ __ ] and water and everything to run downhill, of course. Uh but I don't know if y'all can see how steep that is. It drops off really hard.
Um even if I'm outside the fence and I see Rupus look at me when I'm behind him, it makes me pause for a second.
He's like he does not trust anything behind him.
Looking at it.
Oh, it's just mud. I was looking at his hoof and I was like, why does his hoof have that line on it?
Hey Bubba, what you doing big?
What are you doing big head McGee? You looking for Redford? I think uh Rosie may be doing something this morning. What are you doing, bub? You okay? I know. I know it.
It's supposed to rain really hard this evening or I'd put more fly spray on you. You're going to have to make it.
Why are you being good?
You baiting me in somehow.
Why are you looking for him? Hey, uh, Rupus about stepped on a fawn this morning. There was a fawn laying down here when he came across. It was bedded down right there. Um, and it jumped up and I seen him jump and he's like, "That was the biggest damn rabbit I have ever seen."
He saw that fawn. He's trying to figure out where it went, what it was.
He knows where it went, but it went right up there. Betted back down.
Rufaloop, did you let the baby deer get you? Don't you worry, I'll protect you.
Don't worry. Why are you being good?
Rupus loves rain and he loves the cool weather. Like it's his favorite.
Good boy, Ruth.
You're very warm.
Why are you being weird, dude?
Oh, I know what it is. I only gave them one bag of feed this morning. They only got 50 pounds because I'm supposed to be cutting back on Ruby's feed a little bit. So, he says, "Hey, uh, somebody forgot the other bag." I usually give him 100 pounds, but I know you're plenty thick, Bubba. You're plenty thick.
Works getting in the way of your roof.
Time to retire and become a professional Rhonda and Ruth Snuggler. I'm gonna tell you right now, look at that baby. She is spotless this morning.
Roffus, your head is so freaking big, dude.
Her head is big.
Hey, girly pop. You got feed in the middle of your nose.
I'm trying not to feed anything on camera, guys, unfortunately, for a little bit. I got I don't know what happened. I bought a 25 lb bag of horse treats so we'd have treats for everybody. And something ate some [ __ ] out of the back of my pickup, out of the back of my farm truck while I was in the barn.
I'm like, what in the hell could have 25 pounds of apple flavored horse treats, maybe raccoons, but I don't see no sign. I think my neighbor's dogs may have got in there.
It was backed into the barn up there.
I don't know what happened to them, but they're gone.
It was in a big feed bag. It was like a big bag because, you know, they don't weigh much. They're real lightweight.
So, 25 lbs was a big bag.
They're kind of like those alligator treats. I don't know if anybody's ever been to a uh alligator farm. Rub those flies are bugging the [ __ ] out of you.
I'm not trying to sniff her butt.
Believe me, you don't have to block me out, but I will do no butt sniffing.
You see how he says, "Dep in five years that I've known you, I ain't never sniffed anybody's butt over here. It ain't going to start today."
I think I may have found us a stock trailer. I'm gonna go look at it this morning.
Um, after all the other [ __ ] I need to do.
Once I get committed to this Corell building, it should go pretty quick.
House Builders got postponed um until Thursday because the rain slowed down on a different project. So, they should be here on Thursday even though we got rain coming. So, I really don't know.
pet him.
He's after some pets right now. I feel like he's after that other bag of feed.
What y'all don't know is Rupus is very smart. See? And he says, "I know.
There's one more bag in that pickup."
And how he knows that, I don't know.
I'll tell you what I'll do.
I I can give you off. There it is. See right there? This one's empty.
Now look, he's like, "Get the bag. Put it in the trough."
I'll give y'all this bag of corn.
Corn's only about 6%.
This is 12%.
This going to piss him off. I give him this corn, but it's good.
I'll give you this bag of corn if you won't [ __ ] Anybody [ __ ] I know y'all ain't going to like this.
Oh, Roxan's going to be pissed.
Roxan's the one gonna be pissed. I forgot Roffa started liking corn.
Roxan's going to stare at me.
Roxan's going to be like, "Do you think I'm a deer?
Do I look like a deer?"
All the babies. Roto likes corn.
Roxanne is so spoiled she won't hardly eat corn.
I usually put a couple pounds of corn in their trough most days. And what that'll do is, that's going to sound weird, but if you put a bag of whole corn in there, Roffus and the cows will eat it, not chew it very well.
Me set the camera up so we can watch everything going. That would be relaxing to watch. Please red juice t-shirt, please.
Hi man, the big boss dials me back in um on t-shirt ideas.
She has to reel me back in.
What up, chief?
I used to have a big Rottweiler named Chief Roxan going to get a couple little bites. But what I was saying about that corn is you put that whole corn in there and each pile of manure will have some whole corn in it and the crows will break up the manure and scatter it.
So, cow patties, um, you don't want whole cow patties everywhere because, uh, they'll kill a spot of grass. They're good fertilizer, but the cows will not eat right around them. So, unless they're scattered out some, um, it kind of makes a bad spot.
That makes sense.
village Rufus.
Yeah, I don't know what we're going to The girls have some signs coming for these roads. I told them I was like, "Y'all should wait till we get the concrete trucks in and out and everything in case I have to do something and the power line."
Um, Rufusville. Yeah, that's what we were talking about.
That's what I like.
Roxanne gets to thinking that they're eating something else and she goes back and checks every once in a while.
Ratty, you can almost slip out of that damn fence. So, this fence is all going to be moved today.
I'm going to pull this post up. Take all this out. And here's where the problem's going to happen is once I get this I'm going to do it one strand of wire at a time because oh roof the lof there he won't come up here all day. But if he sees me [ __ ] with this fence if I take this down all one time that some [ __ ] be standing right up there in the middle of the road rubbing on my pickup.
Yeah, I got in there and played with uh Redford yesterday a little bit. Um I I think the end of the video I posted is the funniest part.
Although it was my new phone and it did take a pretty good shot.
Yeah, there's nothing really temporary with Roffus.
This fence, it it needs at least four to five wires. That's what I'm doing. I'm going to just now joining me. I'm going to just run to that far tree down there and I'm going to cut across to another tree over there in that wood line. And that's going to allow me to start building this crown. I'm going to move that feed off down there somewhere.
So, we're just going to move the operation down there. And then we're going to be able to box this in.
See, what happened is was I got a little bit um I had my barn shifted that way another 10 or 20 feet and then I got I was like, well, if I move it this way, I could put another 20 foot overhang on that side for my tractor and stuff.
But now I need a dozer.
But I'm just going to have to use my tractor. Oh, you guys look at me so excited about this. I know nobody really cares, but uh we got this is a big deal to me.
My brand new tractor tire put on yesterday.
That some [ __ ] right there I have had to air up for about five years. had two big patches in it and then I ran a rock through the patch. Could not get it to hold plugs. Could not get to hold a patch, but it hold for about three or four days.
So, it's a big day.
Big day.
Now, the other tire on the other side will probably go flat.
You might as well just leave one on something that goes flat.
Oh, I'm so excited.
Um there's our overhang portion.
It's big. I mean, there's the ranger, the truck, everything's inside.
Um they did a a great job. This is what our porch is going to look like on our house, just like this. Um of course, that's this is 20 foot. We're only doing a 10ft porch. She'll be back here and our house is going to look really similar to this. Kind of give you an idea. Of course, this big door hole looks kind of But if you can picture our house with a a porch coming out about right there at the top of that door um this way, 10 foot and then window window and then four windows on this side. Four and four with a big front door. And it's going to have that uh whatever that deal is called at the bottom.
And then the porch will be 10 foot with the same kind of post on the porch. And it's going to come all the way out around this around the front edge and then down that side.
That gives you an idea of what the house going to look like. Now, nothing inside the house is going to be done.
It's going to be just like this inside, but it's going to have a con well, it's going to have a concrete floor and the rough end plumbing is going to be in the slab. I know. I like the point.
And uh I didn't really break it to Amanda, but that's a 12T sidewall. I mean, it's way up there. I mean, look how high it is above the door.
So 12 foot's way up there.
But I think she thought maybe it was going to have a vaulted ceiling, you know, go up and then down without the truss being there.
But that's 12t ceiling. I mean, holy [ __ ] who needs a higher enough ceiling than that? And I could still vault it. I could come right here at 8 foot and then angle it, you know, and then maybe even drop up and angle it again to the top to 12.
But our living room will be 10 20 I think it's 25 foot.
So the living room in our house will be that big. So I was thinking about boxing in some of these trusses maybe um with some cedar and then uh just leaving them open, leaving them exposed. Maybe do some metal brackets where the press brackets are. I don't know yet. I tried to get her to let me do sheet metal.
Nope, there's not going to be a lock.
It's so high off the ground up there on top of the mountain like Yeah.
Uh insul the whole We're going to blow the whole thing in with insulation. They put a wrap on the house. It's gonna have a wrap on the whole thing and then they're going to blow it in with that foam insulation the whole thing and seal the whole thing. Then we'll come in here and either I think probably plywood or maybe OSB and then we're going to line everything to give it the integrity strength, whatever the hell you want to call it. And then um so if you're like this, our house is going to be that wide, the living room, which is 40 foot.
And then it'll be a a window window, big front door, window, window, window window in our house.
And then window, window, window in every room. Bunches of windows. So, when you're up there, it's going to be right there. It's going to be like the end I was just showing you. The whole front's going to be windows with a door in the center with a 10-ft porch, if that makes sense.
I'm excited.
It's going to look done from the outside, but when you go inside, it's going to look like this. But there's going to be windows, concrete with the plumbing sticking up.
And uh that's it till we can afford to do the next step, which the next step technically isn't going to change anything inside.
We're going to bring our power line.
That's why Redford has that temporary electric fence. We're going to bring the power line down through there and then jump it up there and then tie on windows. Um it'll have black black frame windows and um it'll have a 40x30 garage.
Um, and I'm contemplating put I did not put a door in the garage. Of course, it faces the back of the mountain, but I'm debating on putting a door back there.
Is it going to be hard to sell your house? I don't think so.
Depends on what you want to get out of it.
Um, it's gonna be really hard physically and emotionally to sell it because that's where Paisley's been her whole life and that's where I built her big giant two threestory custom treehouse and Manda's like, we can't take the treehouse with us.
And I'm like, well, she hadn't been in that thing in about a year. So, so anyways, yeah, I don't know if you'd even call it a barnaminium. I'm not even sure what the hell you're going to call it. It's a poleb barn house is what it's actually called.
So, it don't doesn't have a footing.
That calf is so fat.
But u Roxan has made so much freaking milk this time. Here I am feeding them a whole bunch of [ __ ] and corn and stuff and I'm like I don't know why she has so much milk. She still had Look at her bag.
I mean I'm like she damn near needs to be milked but Roxan will kick your head off if you're not her baby when you touch anything back there.
But I'm like, is he getting enough milk?
But he is. What are you looking at?
There's nothing over there. That bag is empty.
Roxan can spot a bag that got something in it. See, he's thick. I don't see a rib one.
You need to drink more milk, bro.
Your mama is mass producing milk.
Redford. I bet him first before I came down here.
But I've got I've got a a plan for for Redford uh to be down here, too.
Maybe he's vegan. No, he's definitely drinking a lot of milk. They won't they won't eat nothing besides milk for a month or so. They'll pick around to stuff and they learn pretty quick what's bad and what's good and ready. We're going to be friends before this is over with. I hate to tell you.
You get an itch on your leg.
He's so pretty.
We're going to have to put some kind of identifying mark on you, Ry.
You're going to be a pretty tough argument if you ever get out someday.
He has not really any identifying characteristics.
Um, so we may have to maybe I'm gonna look at some of those cold brands and see if those things work or not. He may be the first one to get one because we don't want to wait the steel and cattle market is so high right now.
Sorry, I've been looking at everybody and not listen reading what y'all are saying. I'm sorry.
Yeah, they work. I just got to ear maybe. I don't even know what would need more traumatic. I think a cold brand would be pretty cool.
We'd make it like a Roffus with a question mark by it because we don't know who that is.
Roffus question mark will be our brand.
Rowdy.
What you doing, baby?
We going to be friends, boy.
You don't even know it yet.
Soon as you start eating stuff, we'll be a pocket full of trees.
Yeah, the brand needs to be something really small.
We've been trying to figure out a good brand.
Um, like the Circle R or something, the Circle L.
My dad always had a joke about his tools. He said he worked this old man.
He's always borrowing tools from him.
And he said the old man took a flat file and he filed two marks in all of his tools so nobody could borrow them. He knew which ones were his.
And uh my dad said when he started marking his tools, dad said he put three marks on his tools.
That old man looked at him, said, "You son of a [ __ ] Bastard farm."
My dad was uh he had a knack for telling jokes.
It'll come to me. It'll I think it'll come to me. It'll be like Yeah. You know what I mean? Like I've been really struggling with it. Like the name of our is rufusthebull.com is the name of our store.
Um it's Lockidge Ranch on there and that's causing a little bit of confusion, but I think everybody's getting used to it. Now, here's the thing about the internet, guys, is um it's so hard to spread the word. You don't want to change your name. If you're a new creator or if you're trying to do this stuff, you do not want to change your name.
It everybody will think it's fake from then on out. And um then the fake pages will change their name to what your name was and then you're pretty much screwed.
Rufus Ranch. Yeah.
Oh my god. The girls got me on this live 360 thing yesterday.
And Pais is like, "Dad, you need to slow down." I guess it tells her how fast I'm going.
Ro, what you been up to, girl?
Roxanne says, "You need some grooming." Roxanne just grooms everybody. Like, whose baby are you? Let me clean up your neck, son.
Roxan, you're such a good mama.
Oh, and she butts him. Says, "Get the hell out of here now. I cleaned your neck. Get on."
Right. When I said it, Roxan, literally she goes, "Go on now."
Just like, "I love you. You good kid now. Move kid."
But look, Big Mom says, "You just push my baby?" Yeah, I push your damn baby.
What you going to do about I tell you what, the one nobody messing with is Roxan. She may not be the biggest one.
She don't like [ __ ] Will Ralph grow anymore? Oh yeah, he'll keep growing. He'll be just like uh he'll have a a muscle tone and structure more like Roxan or one of the girls. Um it just cuts that hormone. That hormone is just like uh think of a bodybuilder that's just shooting steroids all day.
All he does, that's all bulls do is just get jacked up and um without doing any anything. A bull will be ripped up solid muscle, no fat.
If they even if they just lay around all day, that's why they're so unpredictable.
They uh they just have the hormones going crazy.
Um attitude changes when you take the hormones away. And see like a lot of the bulls y'all see on the internet um that people are out there riding around scratching them and stuff. They've gotten um uh they've lost it. They basically at a certain age um that'll start backing down just like it does on humans and u if they're not active and they're not breeding um they will start losing that muscle tone.
Uh they are coming out with a uh um the girls are doing a u crop top. I don't know what the hell you call it, but they're coming out with girl stuff for the summer.
Yeah. So, rowdy there.
Yeah, we were going to fix him. Right now, it's time to do it. The big boss is so pissed off at me for not fixing him because uh she knows now what it brings.
Um and it's going to be um a nightmare in about two years.
But I've got about two years to build some serious fencing.
He's at around 65. Yeah, they just start losing. So, um, is Ry letting you pet him yet? Not really. No. Uh, we're going to let him.
He'll he'll go about another two or three weeks and then he'll start eating and feeding on other things and then we'll start bringing him some treats and we'll get the all the babies to start coming around and then Rowdy will start seeing that nobody's afraid of me and he'll start working his way in. He'll get over it. They were all like that.
The only one that I've never seen like that is is uh Ro. I don't understand.
Ramona man keeps telling me I have to start calling her that.
I'm like, "No, she's a baby. Look at her.
Got her with her mask. We're gonna play with her some today." They're all She gonna jump on her back.
Look how long her legs are.
She's She's That uh Roro or Ruth is um over a year old. Roro there is only what three months and uh she's gaining on the height.
She that calf right there if she ever figures out that she can jump fences.
She you will never that calf will never stay in a field when she gets old and we don't want her to ever realize how much she can jump. And I'm once I figure that out, you cannot keep them in.
But the hat's coming back, my son. I think we still have some right now. Or are we out?
We may be out.
Amanda's trying to figure out. We got some coffee mugs that the decal on there was not embedded in the mug like it was supposed to have been.
Um, we had an issue with those. So, she's she's up in everybody's [ __ ] right now as far as the place. Um, and then we had um I don't really understand why all our shirts are like made from an artist, so it's all drawn. So, none of it's plastic.
Um, it's not like that plastic stuff like you get off when you order one on Amazon.
Can we get a lacy bastard t-shirt of the trucker with the missing wheel? Yeah, I should. I got to figuring out how many hours I had in that out of stock. Yeah, she's she's back on it right now.
Yeah, no ironon stuff.
The t-shirts have all been great, but we got one of them kind of it kind of felt like we don't know if it's the color. Um I just saw the email come through and she was like, "Why does this one feel a little bit different?"
So sometimes those comfort colors, the material is a little bit different. But um she'll get them lined out.
She's really picky when it comes to that stuff, Carrie. Thank you.
Scratch and post up for Roffus. Well, I started to put it up right here yesterday and uh I'm like, I'm gonna I'm going to be moving dirt through here all day. And I wanted up here by the barn. And then I started to put it on these post and then I was like I brought everything over here and I started putting dirt up again the barn and I'm like I just need to hold off.
Just wait just a little bit longer before I start adding all the toys or the shit's going to be right out in the middle of my way. But um down at the bottom um I don't know that I've ever showed you guys. Rufus's favorite tree is down there. It's a cedar tree. And um I've got about 10 of those uh coarse brussel uh brooms screwed to that tree and they are mashed completely flat. Like the bristles are the real coarse ones, you know, and he has crushed all the bristles from rubbing on it so much. So he's do some new ones. Amanda was like, "Roffus is old tree." Well, it's been like that for four months. I hate to tell her just because she noticed it.
All the bugs out here, they're terrible.
It was first thing she saw.
I can't believe how bad her foot was stuck.
Rufus is a Herford. Yep, he sure is.
He's not full blood though. That's why we got spotted G.
Well, what I started doing, Rick, was I put uh I don't know if you guys know what a locust tree is, but locust won't rot out and you can't break it and you can't even drive a nail in it. like a a hard a dry locust is probably the hardest wood around. So his previous scratching post was a locust was 6 foot almost a full six foot in the ground and then it was about only 4 foot out of the ground. Um and that some still wallowed it around.
Um, and he actually, if you don't get him in the ground real good, he'll roll that post around in a circle till he walks it out of the ground. I couldn't figure out how he pulled this post up out of the ground, but he did.
It looked like an ice cream cone going down to the ground. It was like a big It looked like an upside down Christmas tree where he had wallowed that some [ __ ] around. Do you think Rhonda is pregnant again?
I hope so, but we'll know next week. I think it's been 22 days. It's every 22 days. Do you guys get fireflies where you are at night? We do, but we don't call them fireflies down here. We call them lightning buck. We were talking about that last night.
Yeah. This whole place will be lit up tonight.
I think it's firefly in the south and lightning bug or lightning bug south, firefly in the north. I don't know. But I don't know. But my wife chewed my ass because I was like, what the hell do we call them son [ __ ] again?
Lightning bugs in Indiana. Okay. It's just a preference thing then. I didn't know if it was a north south thing or not. I know this. If you go in my house and you call a lightning bug a firefly in my house, my wife will let you know real quick.
Kind of weird actually.
I mean, I never heard of a rabbit called a bunny until Paisley.
And then I was like, bunny? That sounds like the unmanliest thing I've ever heard of. And now I see a rabbit run out. I'm like, "Oh [ __ ] there's a bunny." And then it hits me. I'm like, "Oh my god, they've miagied me somehow."
Hey, by the way, if y'all are on I know.
Uh if y'all are on Tik Tok and you follow me on Tik Tok, unfollow me and follow me back. That's the reason why y'all aren't seeing anything once you followed me for so long. And I hate to say that to y'all, but unfollow and follow back on Tik Tok. That's how you get all the newest riders as soon as they're coming out. Um, if you unfollow and follow back.
I think we're all so fresh into this platform that it doesn't matter. But, um, I heard that yesterday and it really does work. I unfollowed and followed back a bunch of people that I went back through my liked videos all the way back to like when I started liking videos and I'm like, "Well, hell, I haven't seen this person in years. I haven't seen this person in years." So, I went back and unfollowed and refollowed and this morning whenever I uh uh clicked on it, it um sure enough, there was everybody again.
Americans call them lightning bugs.
Well, I'm gonna tell you right now, people call them fireflies in some places. Apparently, we're all on the same page here.
I know she's the only one that doesn't need to be eaten.
That corn's not real good.
Bush hog. Oh, yeah. That's a whole new deal. Um, Arkansas's brush hog.
I know. I know.
in Texas. It's shredding shredder.
Um, and also a pond in Texas, [ __ ] I see.
I'm pretty sure I just saw a coyote.
What the hell was that?
Damn coyotes are hunting my baby deer.
I saw right over there. I saw something go across there.
That looked to me like a dog.
Maybe it was one of them crows across there.
Oh, I got one. I got something for him right there behind us.
I've got a There's a baby fawn landing right here behind him. I think I have to miss this brush.
Even if I can't hit him, I'll make sure he knows he's not welcome.
Yeah, I know. We may walk up there. look at it here in a second. I would like to see if it's a um right now it's real dangerous brush hog and I need to brush hog, but when me and Amanda was spraying thistles in here, we just about run over two different fawns.
They need about another two weeks, then I'll brush.
You do not want those kind of problems.
That is the most sickening gut feeling ever when you see a baby come up underneath the tractor tire or something.
Yeah, been there, done that.
They won't move for nothing. A farm will lay there pancake against the ground. I don't care if you run over top of it with a tractor. It won't move.
Can you kill Oh, hell yeah. Coyote season's year round, day and night here.
They don't have a natural predator one.
They're so thick around here anymore that that uh I know it sounds bad to everybody, but them some [ __ ] are getting mange real bad and they go into winter time with mange and no fur and they freeze to death because they're getting too thick. Mange starts spreading. Um it's a hell of a lot worse worse way to go to sit out there and freeze to death I would think than it would be just to they won't hardly get over mage either.
Yeah, I don't like to see nothing suffer, but coyotes have a real strange pecking order. If you whack a female coyote, uh an adult female coyote, the uh kingdom uh [ __ ] coyote will have raise another litter of ups. So if you if you whack one female, the female the head female will have a litter. So when you she'll keep the the herd of them kind of in order. So, if you only get one female, you just cause yourself to have six or seven more.
So, you want to uh if you're going to get in there, you need to be serious about it.
All those fells come to Wales.
Wales. I don't even know where that's at. I've heard that before.
Is that down southern Arkansas? I know it ain't. I know it ain't. My wife hates when I start that [ __ ] to people.
We do have a Paris, Arkansas. Um, we have several different states.
Roxy, there's no more feed for you, honey.
Coyotes, they're just out there doing their own thing. I actually probably one of the things I dislike to dispatch is a coyote because they look so much like a freaking dog. Um, but when you see them carrying these baby fawns around in their mouth, I've got cameras everywhere and you'll see them carrying a baby fawn kicking and screaming and it gives you a little bit more incentive to take a few of them out, you know, and they get to where they'll eat dogs and everything else.
Paris, Missouri.
Paris and Tennessee.
There was a chick come up to me one night in a bar and she goes, "I'm from England. How are you? Where are you from?" And I said, "Angland? Hell, is that down south Arkansas?" That's how I got that started.
And she's like, "Uh, excuse me." This chick was like 6'2", so she was real intimidating looking at everybody in the bar but me, of course. I strutdded her right up there. And um anyways, I turned around looking at something. I turned back around. This big old boy was standing right in front of her, like two inches from my face. And I turned around. I was like, "I hell. Where did this where did the England chick go? And why is this old boy up here all humped up in front of me?"
Well, apparently it was her boyfriend, I think.
I'll never forget that, man. That that was so funny that night. That chick was so tall. Is Is there a lot of tall people in England?
Like I mean, I'm looking up. I'm I'm in a pair of cowboy boots. I'm six foot.
And I mean, to make eye contact, I had to look up a little bit, you know, about 61 in cowboy boots, maybe.
Kansas City, Missouri.
But anyways, uh we were in a bar. I don't know if you guys ever had these kind of bars, but there's bars around here that you can buy shots. It's called shots, and you buy these shot glasses, and the glass is actually made out of ice.
Uh here's where the story gets funny.
Um do y'all know what I'm talking about?
Y'all ever had shots like that?
where the shot glass is actually made out of ice and they then they pour the shot inside the glass of ice and then you get to throw the best thing about it is you get to throw the shot glass onto the floor after you take the shot.
Okay.
I used to back in my wilder days, I used to go into this bar to get thrown out of the bar. Like it was I never left the bar willingly.
Um, and I've been I've had some knuckle bumps put on my head in that bar. But anyways, this that's that's a whole different story. But this story, my buddy was in there and he was in this real um he's a pretty good sized guy, too. He was in this real blonde pair of pants.
It was like not a khaki, but even lighter colored than that.
Um, and then he sees this old boy slipping between me and this English this English chick. And I was like, you know, everything was a little bit delayed at the time. And I was like, the hell? So, he comes over there and he kind of slips in on his side and he gets uh gets to talking to this girl. I'm still trying to figure out what this old boy's problem is.
And um so he comes up, my buddy comes up with this British accent. He's talking and this chick shoves him, shoves him like on the shoulder and uh he's in a pair of alligator boots, cowboy boots, alligator skin. And my buddy, he's way better off than I am. Um, and he's in these light high dollar bridges and these boots and he's puffed up like a banny rooster. And um, this chick shoves him by the shoulder like, you know, like in a joking playful way, but like pushes him pretty damn hard. Hell, she's six foot something [ __ ] tall. So, she's got some leverage on him and some torque behind her and she shoves him. Well, when she does, his feet go out from underneath of him. This is the best part. His feet kick out from underneath of him and that some [ __ ] hits the ground. Oh, wham. Like on his side.
And u the best part was when he stands up. Now, if you listen to the first part of this story was that we were in a bar called Shots that you got to throw your shot glass at the floor after you took a drink of it. So, the whole floor is covered in slime.
ice, leftover shot material, maybe a little bit of vomit, but now he's in these damn He's in these [ __ ] pants. He stands up and he's striped from head to toe, the same color as that floor and I about pissed my pants laughing and he look but it's kind of towards his shoulder and down kind of his butt cheek and he's like, "Can you see it?" And I'm like, "Dude, that some [ __ ] is 12 inches wide. From the bottom of your boot to the [ __ ] hair on your head, you are you have been slimed." And uh I'm just dying laughing.
But ever since then, I was like, "You ever talk to a British chick again with your stupid [ __ ] British accent?" And you're going to eat [ __ ] bud. He goes, "Man, she had some torque." He goes, "Hell, I wasn't even drinking." But the best part was his feet skewered around for a couple seconds before he hit, which made him really hit hard. And uh man, it was funny. If I could have recorded that and he goes, when he got up, I'm trying to remember what he said. He said, "Can you tell or can you see it or can you tell or something?" And I have snot coming out my nose. I'm laughing so hard.
I'm like, "Can you see it?
Are you [ __ ] me?
You if you fell right there, you'd be cleaner than he was.
Oh god, it was funny. It was just the whole situation with a six-foot British chick pushing or no, she's from England.
I don't Is that British? I don't even know where I'm talking about, but And then here I'm standing here nose tonse with some [ __ ] guy the whole time. So the guys like I don't have anything to worry about these guys.
Oh, it was nasty. That was nasty.
It was funny.
Me and my old buddy, we used to get out there and get amongst them. Now, I threw a whole uh I got an arm wrestling contest with this bachelorette group at a bar one night, that same bar.
And uh it was who was going to buy the shots if they could beat me.
Well, I'm I used to arm wrestle a lot. I used to be a armrest. Anyways, I was good at it. Anyways, I pick on this whole table of girls.
Well, they're just they're having a great time because we're all just sitting there bullshitting and I'm like, I'll buy all the shots.
If anybody can beat me here, I'm wrestling. And this one old girl um was like, "Get your ass down here, you skinny little white boy." And I'm like, "Okay, okay." And I'm thinking, "Hell, she's white, too. How come she call me white boy?" But anyways, I end up whooping this whole table full of girls, you know, not by much each time.
And then then I buy the shots anyways.
And um for whatever reason, it was like a six-pack flat of them damn shot glasses.
It was my birthday, too.
Uh, but I threw that whole damn tray of them shot glasses into one of them big ass fans that was hanging from the ceiling. Now, they were pretty thought out. I think about some of that [ __ ] I did and I was like, man, I just wondered if somebody didn't get hurt, but they're like, somebody was like, toss it up into that fan. This thing is on warp speed. It was summertime. It's hot.
And the next thing I know, I was standing in the back alley.
So, don't do that.
I finally got banned from that bar.
It's still up there.
Do not throw the shot glasses in in the And when I say one of them big ass fans, it was like one of them 12T fans and it was cranking. But man, it was cool because it was like ice snow like it beat them things to splinters and there was just like peppered everybody.
Everybody was like, "Yeah." And then Brent was gone out the back door by the snap of his neck.
I got out back these two big old boys that I know cold sober and they wanted to beat my ass and I was like I don't you know it was the same Ron White story. I don't know how many of them it was going to take but I knew how many they was going to use and to beat my ass. And uh they threw me out. They take you always take you out the back door even though I was only like two foot from the front door.
And um I drew the line on the on the street with my foot. They said, "Y'all, first one of you son [ __ ] step across that line and uh all of them all at once jumped across that line like [ __ ] leaped across it."
And I said, "Nah, I'm not feeling it right now. I'll come back later." And my little ass was down. And you know, my buddies left my I was down to another bar that night.
I ran up that that back alley. Get the hell out of there. Them boys is been watching Roadhouse yanking the wanking. They were ready to beat the dog [ __ ] out of me. And they were going to, you know what I mean? like they had.
They were fullbore ready to beat. I went to another bar. I called my buddies. I was like, "Hey, it's my birthday, you dumb bastards." And they're like, "All these girls down there, this bachelor group, you're arm wrestling. We're down here ranking." I'm like, "I can't come back."
You better remember Roadhouse.
Oh yeah. I got the [ __ ] beat out of me one night though up there by this little boy. It was New Year's night.
Worst. I'd fight that guy right now if he was standing here.
Not only did I get to He was this little saw off boxer guy and he was cold sober. I've been drinking all night. It was just a little bit before midnight and I mean I got the I got it wasn't the only time. I don't know who all has ever been beat up, but it is not fun. I'm gonna be honest with you. It's not fun in a fight, period. I don't like getting in fights and I never started the fight, but I ended up in some This guy pinched my butt in front of some guys and like typically I I thought he was joking. I thought it somebody I knew. Well, it was not.
And I was like, "Oh man, everybody saw that and I I'm gonna have to redeem myself."
And I hit this old boy in a full swing. It's about as much as I could put on it.
And uh he was not very big.
And blood went to flying and I thought, "Okay."
And uh it did not have the effect on him that I thought it did.
Oh, he was just looking for somebody to fight.
That may have been the only punch I landed.
It was midnight. Hell, I've been drinking all night. This guy was drinking water. I still remember that.
I wish I could find that guy. My blood pressure still comes up when I think of that. You don't f You don't fight nobody at drinking water.
Not at midnight on New Year's night.
That's a valuable lesson.
What's the end plan with roofer?
Uh he will live his days out here.
Good friends from high school and I used to get a bar up and he always got in a fight. He just got put in MMA Hall of Fame. No [ __ ] Well, I tell you what, I was a punching bag a few different times. I never started the fight, but somehow I ended up in the middle of him.
Who is it?
And Oh, yes. Now I remember. He's so funny.
I uh I always avoided fights. I was always having a good time. But I'll be honest with you, I get sitting around bullshitting and when you get sitting around in a bar and you're laughing and your buddies are laughing, everybody's having a good time, it pisses somebody off.
Like people don't like that for some reason.
His name is Joe. What was it?
Feel like I know that name.
short went crazy. People always got mad.
I uh I need the bouncers everywhere.
I went through kind of a woman hating stage before I met Amanda there after I got divorced. So, I spent a few years and I just went through this whole stage and it was just I was just a terrible human being to be around. I'll be honest with you.
And u I mean I had just everything stripped from me down to the bare bones and I was not a happy person.
That sounds terrible. I look back on some of the [ __ ] and I'm like, man, what a piece of [ __ ] It does. Amanda stayed with me and I literally I told her a couple different times. I said, "You are way too good for me. You don't have any kids. I've got ex-wife.
I've got kids. You don't have nothing.
You have no baggage."
And I run her off.
I literally ran her off for her own good, her own safety.
And I was like, well, I kind of like her, but man, it was such a internal battle I went through there.
And I was like, well, I'll never let her down and I will build her a castle someday.
Well, I didn't have nothing. We got together. Nothing. I was actually negative. Nothing. I had two farms raising chickens for my divorce and then not a thing. I had nothing. When we and her got together, I had a a Craigslist truck um that wasn't even owned by me because I couldn't even own one. And um that was it. What an idiot she is.
She is a saint.
Yeah, remember his all ser.
Can I send it there? Sure.
Long as it's not anything weird.
Send it that there's a PO box on my deal. She's the one that checks it. We don't have a mailing address.
Um, we have everything sent to a PO box.
So, if you think I'm just giving you guys a PO box because um I think you're sending me something that's going to hurt somebody. Um, just send We have everything sent to that PO box because of our dogs. We don't let nobody deliver nothing to our house.
And look at you now. I know it.
And I tell her all the time when she's real mad at me. I said, "Hey, I run you off and you came back and I have a license for you now." So, um, it's your own fault.
Okie dokie. Smokey. Thank you.
I see that water too.

Rorow, what you doing, baby?
Look at your dot on your head, dirt.
I came back yesterday and I was gonna go live, but I got in Redford's pin to make some some videos. The videos is what um does better with the ads. So, I was in there and I was like, "Well, Ro, what are you doing, dude? Are you itching your butt?
I don't see any texture. I'd get it.
I bet some of y'all wish you could do that. There was an old man told me that in the store that he had a cat laying up on the counter is licking its butt. He said, "I bet you wish you could do that." And I was like, "Well, kind of." And he goes, "I don't think she'd let you." Um, she might bite you though. And I was like, "Huh?"
Real funny. Real funny.

You want to be a mod, too? I can't make I don't know some people. I love you guys, but um one time I had a moderator blocking everybody that uh sent any kind of gift or anything to me on TikTok. Um, I think I know who that was.
What happened to Ross?
How's your butt cheek, Ross?
Been here since the first live. Stacy, I know. I've seen you on here every day. I think I try to look at your picture and all I can see is the red lipstick.
And you know, I got a thing for red lipstick and red fingernails, but I it's like the size of the pencil lead.
I thought somebody was riding a motorcycle that I knew on here the whole time because their profile picture was it I thought it was them riding a motorcycle.
So, uh, but when I finally clicked on it like a year later, it was actually a pit bulldog, um, looking up and it looked like a motorcycle.
Yes, coffin nails are the best.
Yeah, you can trust me. That's what they all say.
think you don't tell him where he live.
We need to search up old Ross here.
Make sure he's okay.
How many people on here right now are paranoid of somebody that's on here right now and you're like, I don't know about that, son of a Anybody?
me. Me. Yep.
We're all We're off. Let me tell you something. I've been scammed one time and I'm like, "Oh, nope. Nope. Nope. Nope.
Why would you be paranoid of me? Hell, I my whole damn life's on here.
Can care less.
Just me? Why?
I'm the only one that you can see the whole their whole damn Or is it even me back here? Or is it?
Oh, y'all. I I I forgot when I tell Tiffany to remember things. So, when you tell her to remember um things, um she'll only remember the specific thing you tell her. But yesterday when we told her to remember that like vulgar profanity and uh I was I have to tell her every time.
Wait, I see something right there. What is that?
There's something right there.
It's about to walk out.
That's that mama looking for her baby.
Your baby is over here behind me.
She'll find her.
Roffus, you [ __ ] You about stepped on her baby.
I seen some ears wiggling around. I thought it that may have been what I seen over there. She made her way across.
Yep.
That ghost of the forest. Well, I'll tell you what, that right in this spot right here, you know, I don't know if y'all seen the walls in my house, but I have a lot of mounts. Um, none of them are they're just acorn eating, wild onion eating deer. But each one of them has a has a story behind it.
But, uh, every one of them have came I've got this whole place and all of them have came from that area right there or right behind where this barn setting.
It's kind of crazy to me. I've got the whole place to hunt on.
And uh there's a spot down there, a little bench. They love it.
Y'all want to see if we can uh see that baby? I'm going to get off here and get to work.
Is Roffus laying down over there?
Oh, she knows she won't go where her baby is until I leave.
I don't want to jump him up, but she'll go away from where that baby's laying.
That baby was down there. She went that way. She go she go stand over there in the brush till I leave her. She thinks it's safe. I don't know that he stayed.
I don't even know why I'm calling it a boy because I don't have any idea what it was.
But I think I did see, look at my grass coming up.
So that tree that's a little bit white right there, it's laying the bottom of that. So that's where we're going to be looking.
Let's go this way.
I didn't even dare tell Paisley I saw it because she would be like, "Catch it.
Bring it home.
It may jump up.
I'm not real sure it laid down there.
should be laying right here.
It was right there.
It must have went somewhere else.
It must have snuck off. Unless it was that tree.
Like I said, they lay here flat.
And I mean like a pancake.
Oh, there it is. [ __ ] Did y'all see it before I did? It was laying right there.
That big ear bastard.
Y'all didn't see it before I did.
We're just going to back out here.
Y'all did. Were y'all yelling there?
I'd rather go up that way a little bit further.
Oh, y'all did too. Well, hell how the hell did I not see it? I was looking too far out in front of me.
Big eared bastard.
Yeah, there's a little bit taller grass up there.
Oh, yeah. This there's about I think we counted six.
We jumped up.
Damn. Wish I would have seen it before I jumped up.
Well, I'm trying to watch for copperheads. There's copperheads up here.
More importantly, and after a rain, they like to get on these rocks and warm them up.
There's one of them giant woodpeckers up there.
There's my barn.
So that corral will be off that side going that way.
Thursday is what they told me yesterday.
Made my last payment on my barn part of it. You pay half then you pay the other half when they're done.
So that belongs to me now and half the house does.
So they said Thursday. Wait, what is today?
Stay Mon or Tuesday or Wednesday.
Yeah. And then this today's Wednesday.
I lost today in there. I guess Monday holiday. So, I'm gonna build my yard fence through here.
And then I'll have a lane here to bring Redford in to there. And then they'll have half of that.
There's going to be some clashing uh when they get up here, but I'm going to have to I get Redford and Rufus in the same barn. Even though they just have Oh, I hear that dough. See, she was standing there. I don't know if y'all can see her. She's going through there.
She was watching me. She's like, "Leave my baby alone."
It's a good size fawn, though.
That thing's built for speed.
One thing about their mamas is they can find them. Believe me.
You're wearing the roof b shirt. Hell yeah.
That spooked you.
Oh, they're just pets.
Yeah, she's mad because that corn and she's full.
And look at Ruby.
Ruby, they told me do not feed you anymore.
She's getting big though.
Ruby is two years old.
Right. I'm trying to remember.
Yeah. Two or no, she'll be two this winter. This fall.
By the time she has her baby, she'll be two.
Yeah, they're all full. This is the time of day my Okay, so YouTube tells me not to go live when there's not a lot of action, but it's when I can actually read the comments and stuff. It says to only go live like on special events and like if I'm out there goofing around with them, but I like going live like this. This is when they're the most docile.
Everybody's calm.
But I mean there's, you know, been 7 to 900 people on here all morning.
You can always put in a slowmo.
I mean, if I'm out there with the bulls like yesterday with Redford, it's so hard to try to read comments and not die that uh Can you see Redford? I did a whole I've got a whole content deal from him yesterday. I just posted and then I do one with these guys, then one with them, then one with these guys. as I try to do split it up, but I'm kind of partial to my barn, so I get to sit in my barn.
That's why we got to get this lane built.
This is teaching me patience because I can't build my road fence yet until my power lines put in.
I can't build anything on this other side of my barn until I get my water line ran in.
Um, but I need to go to Tractor Supply and get a drill bit for my augur so I can set some post.
Ross going back to sleep.
should protect the support beam. So, I don't know. They're six by sixes like they're big.
So, um I don't really know how I'm going to do it yet, but I need to get my corral built and then I'm going to run ladding through here. Oak across. They're not just going to be able to come in here. They're not just going to be able to come inside this barn. I don't know if people are getting the expectation they're going to be able to come into this section of the barn.
This section of the barn here is going to be it's going to have ladding across here all the way across here of oak. So, they can't get in there unless and then that wall will too. And then there will be a stall here, stall here, stall there for cows, bigger stalls for the girls if they have any issues. And then on that side, there'll be a little bathroom on that side. And then a horse stall, a horse stall, and a tack room over there. And then a center alley. I'm going to put those rubber mats on. Make it so that the cows can be in that center alley, too, in the winter time when it's real cold. Um, and the horses, Paisley can do her horse stuff over there. And then this whole area here, this 40 uh by 20 is where I'll feed them at.
And uh but it'll be kind of laded off.
I'll put a gate there across this end.
And then I'm probably going to run the fence from this wall out to that fence down that fence and then make this whole area where they can come in and out here. And then I can bring them around in the big door into their stalls.
It's going to be some work.
It just takes money.
It just takes money.
This corral is going to be I've been thinking and thinking about how I want to build this thing. If I want to build out of wood or if I want to build out of panels. So, I think what I'm going to do is uh I'm going to make it out of u 16ft steel panels to set my post in concrete.
And then uh what are you going to lay right in the mud?
Which one?
Roro and Ruth.
Ruth is down over her. I don't know what she's doing. She's down over there doing something. And see Rorow, her head right there sticking up. So them two, they're in there in the shade.
Yeah, mud's probably one belly. I heard her let the air out there.
But I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to feed them in here, too, without getting mice going like crazy. Um, if I want to put if I want to broom concrete in here so I can wash it. I'm trying to figure I've got several things. But the first thing I want to do is where this where the pad starts. I don't know if y'all can see that big step up. I need to put railroad ties down through here to hold that all the way back flush. And then um put my ling across these beams. And I'm going to try to set my feed troughs up here. If I don't have a lot of mice problems doing that, I don't know yet. I may have to set my troughs out this way further so I can at least keep the mice out that way because cows drop feed everywhere.
And then in the winter time I may just move their troughs out there and then let them come back in here to bed on the hay.
And I think what I'll end up doing is when I have that gate where my truck is, I can come in here and I can blade this the hay out as it gets wet or [ __ ] on and everything else. I'll drag that out.
Barn cat. Soon as I get something built in here, but there's nowhere for them to hide yet and the coyotes will get them cornered in this barn and eat them like it's a this is a this is a cat trap. I've tried that before and until you get some kind of structures in here, some rooms or something they get up on and coyotes play hell on them. Now, coyotes are very, very smart and they can corner a house cat in no time.
They smell cats, too.
I really wish y'all hadn't laid down right here because I need to move this fence. So, everybody's going to have to move down the hill.
Let you double like get him out in line. I know. I can't wait for my dog. My Rottweiler has a couple has chocked up a couple coyotes, full grown coyotes.
She's a little different than most dogs.
She has a really extensive um uh body count, we could say. Um on animals, um she's learned she learned how to unal alive everything.
She learned how to get a hold of animals so that they don't move anymore.
You know, a lot of dogs fight something, but when a dog starts learning how to u whack things, it's a different ballgame.
I don't know a lot of people understand that or not, but a lot of dogs will fight something, but when a dog learns how to really whack animals, um, okay, Roxan, you going to lay there against the damn barbwire and the post.
Um, it's a different kind of dog.
They don't want to get bit. They want to just make them stop moving.
She gets stuff in the middle of the back.
Um, she get she picked up a big old coyote and right behind its shoulders and shook that some [ __ ] like a rag.
Um, and I could hear things breaking and popping and crunching and she got about two or three big crunches in. And u, she's learned how the middle in the back is uh the kill switch for animals.
Makes them stop moving.
And unfortunately there is a dog or two on that list.
So that were not good.
Yeah, pits are they latch on, man. They some [ __ ] are like an alligator.
They get a hold of something, they don't let go.
Is Shorty okay?
I've not seen Shorty in a while.
He's been keep's got a whole bunch of heers he held over. So, usually farmers sell bull calavs and heer calves because they have their herd. But, uh, my neighbor held over a whole bunch of heers, like seven, because cattle market's doing so good. So, he actually fenced off part of his place to put a pasture between Ruth and his heers so that Rufus would have to go through two different fences to get to the heers.
Unfortunately, I feel terrible about that.
Uh, Rufus laid down there and then she went over there and laid down. Cows are kind of funny. They'll lay down. Uh, they usually lay down with their face near another cow's back or butt and uh it uh the other cow moves around and they spook the flies away from their face is what I think. So, a lot of times cows will lay with their face near another cow's tail.
99% of the time they do that.
and they'll kind of switch.
So, as they're switching their tail, it keeps the flies away from the other cow's face.
The only thing I can explain it because they always want to lay behind another one every time.
You had kines and shepherds.
I always liked a uh shepherd.
Do the chickens control the flies for the cows? They will once we get them over here. They're at our other place.
Well, hey, everybody's tired. It's lunchtime. This one, the big boss likes to come over here and video stuff when everybody's fat full.
Yeah, they all lay so that the other one brooms the flies away from their face.
Man, I had a chow one time bite my ass cheek so hard.
Hello, Cindy. Boo.
Cindy, I've just now realized that that's you.
Put something by your name so I can see that it's you.
Good morning, Kimberly.
Kimber in Alaska.
joke. I'm good.
Yeah, they're all being lazy bastards right now.
I don't know. Put something up there by it.
If y'all don't know, if you put something um by your name, it makes you really identifiable.
I don't if it'll let you put like a u Tiffany Hayes Michigan. All right, let's hear Let's do one thing before we go here in a minute.
Uh let's see. Give us a b I love doing this because I love to see who's watching.
I think it's a lot of retired people, but give me a give me a brief look. I got a deer tick on me. Y'all worried about ticks? Look at that sucker.
Y'all see him?
Look at him. Y'all see that deer tag?
See that spot on him?
Bastards.
It was supposed to have started yesterday, but the rain has backed them off.
So, okay, friend, better get back to work, bro. No, don't do it. Don't do it. So, if you're a real country boy or girl and you get a tick on you and you're standing out in the wide open with nothing on you, how do you dispatch it?
Do you throw it down? What do you do?
Because I'll show you.
Fire.
rocks.
Hang on. Let's see. Somebody said it.
Crush it with a rock. Nope.
Tweezers and alcohol. City slicker.
That's what that says. Uh, bullet.
Flick it off. I'm waiting for the right answer here.
Knife. No.
Pinch it in half. Torch. Smush. I'm looking for the right answer.
Pee on it. Squish it. How do you squish it?
If you're a real country boy, you'll know this. Banger. Somebody said it.
Deborah D. Ah, use your fingernail.
That's it. The thumbs, if anybody knows, you put the tick on your thumb, take your other thumbnail, and you roll across it just like that.
That's how that one just went. If you're real, if you're real country, you know, you put it right there and it's crawled and you go, you roll that thumb across it.
That's it.
That ain't like a flea. Hell, I can't even catch a flea.
You don't eat them.
Well, in your skin or no? No, not in your skin. Put it like you put it on your take it, you get it, put it on your fingernail before it crawls off. You got to be quick. And you take your thumbnails and you roll them together.
Just like a steamroller.
That's how you get rid of them.
I bet you my thumbs or your pointer and thumbnail.
You got no leverage on that. How would you? Are you missing a thumb? Because a thumb is just money. You pinch that finger like that to support it. Take it like that.
Nah, that ain't enough pressure. That's so much get up and walk off. You try your pointer finger.
You can also use a flat surface or a gate or something. But if there's nothing around you, I don't know the big B's coming or not.
She's trying to catch up on shirts. She was caught up to Friday, I think. Um, she shipped everything this morning, so everybody had anything that's been running pretty late is because we was on vacation. She does all the work herself.
So, um, she said she put a note on there, so everybody knew that it would take a little bit longer to get this last order out.
And I did uh like a comment because somebody commented on her page and said oh yeah it's a good feeling.
Um somebody did say bite it. I want to be a country boy.
I got my Yeah, there it's taking a little bit longer to get these last ones.
I don't know why people I the fear of ticks is astonishing to me. And maybe I'm just stupid, but I've had there's a tick on me right now. I guarantee you right at this very second.
I guarantee there's a tick on me somewhere after that walk. It may not be stuck to me yet.
I'm an urban hillbilly.
When are you going to get Redford merch?
There's some on there. Redford has a shirt. Actually, there's 90 of them on there. None of them sold.
I need them to move because I need to move this fence.
You're scared to death of ticks. Why?
Ticks, you know. I think Yeah. Yeah. Ticks do carry Lyme disease.
They do carry other things, but yeah, it's just one of those like when you're in the timber and woods like this in Arkansas, there are millions. You cannot walk down in there right there and not get four or five ticks on you.
He didn't break the phone, but he didn't do it any good.
Ro and them are down over there hiding down in here.
She is shiny. That's what the peanut butter does for her.
It's not hot yet.
It rained yesterday. It's going to rain tomorrow. It's going to rain today, which is good because my fertilizer is really got the grass going.
You'd freak out finding a stick on you.
Well, you know, ideally you don't want one on you, but when you're out here working and like lifting panels up and building fence and [ __ ] feel when they bite you. You've already been stabbed four bajillion times by barb wire and [ __ ] and you don't really feel when they bite you. But I will tell you this. I don't know who all familiar with ticks, but the chiggers. Chiggers are It's about to be [ __ ] season. And when them son [ __ ] get out, that's the only time I spray repellent on me is whenever I get my first [ __ ] I will keep repellent in my truck because I cannot stand those bastards.
June bugs. Oh, hell yeah.
Oh, god. Yeah, we'll be me and Paisley, you'll tie a string to them, let them fly around. That's what I feel like with that new dog that she's got. That's why I told that story about being on the damn beach and then other dogs running down my little wiener dog and I felt like I had a damn June bug on a piece of string. I don't know if everybody does that or not, but down here that was uh one of our biggest things is to tie a tiny piece of string to a June bug's leg and you let it lead it around like a dog.
I don't know who all did that or not.
Can't eat meat. Yeah, Lyme disease and all that [ __ ] It make it so you can't ever eat red meat again.
Yeah. used to land surveys at about Gary will make you scratch. Yeah, chiggers are so small you can't see them. First off, you can't see them. The ones people see, that's not a trigger.
Chiggers, you can't see them. And uh they bite you and inject this, let's just call it an acid basically. So when they bite you, they inject a little bit. They don't suck your blood like a tick. Um, they actually eat your flesh.
So, when they bite you, they inject this little bit of acid and, uh, they suck up your flesh as like a slurry, like a slurpee. You have a flesh slurpee.
No, they don't make you bleed.
When a ch bit you, they just rot out a little hole and they eat it.
Yeah. Well, the stuff they inject when they bite you is kind of like an acid.
Um, but you don't feel it.
And you don't feel a chger bite for about six or seven hours. So, by the time you feel one of them has bit you, um, you're screwed. You're already screwed. You've probably been bit 50 times.
And a [ __ ] bite is I ain't never been bit by a [ __ ] and felt it. And I've been I have scars all over me. Um but uh the is so bad because that that stuff they put in there has affected your tissue.
Anyways, you're going to be up all night itching. you nuts because they like to bite you on the nuts. Then the bend of your leg and anywhere it's damp and moist, your butt cheeks or where you've been sweating or um they usually get you around the ankles and they they don't hang on like a tick. They don't they're not as easy to hang on you can rinse them off. So if you get them on you anytime I leave and I think I've been in sugar area. No, they're kind of if you look at them look them up. They're kind of look like a a a tiny tick. Itty bitty tiny tiny. I'm You can't see them. I don't care what anybody says. You can't see them. They are They go for the moist spots. They like that. Uh and once they get into your underwear, it supports someone holds them on. Otherwise, you just rinse them off.
I don't know if they fly or not.
I don't I don't know that they fly. It says that they're they just fall off of you.
I don't know. They suck.
They're the worst. I'd rather have 25 ticks than one [ __ ] bite. If that tells you anything.
Yeah. You lay in bed and scratch with your big toe on your other foot and your other foot.
Oh, it's an itch. Like trying to think of something. You ever had poison ivy? Imagine a hole in your leg that feels like there's poison ivy in a pinpoint spot.
You actually will. That's how kids get scars. They'll actually if they get triggers on, they'll scratch until they've they'll dig a hole out.
You'll dig a hole out, man. It's It's so chickers are just bad news, man.
Like once you get once you got them, then you you're done for.
But if y'all want to look up some [ __ ] look up a horsefly and what they do to you.
Yeah, I know. I'm about to get off here.
Look up a horsefly and see what their their beak looks like. That shit's terrifying. It looks like a chainsaw and two giant pair of nippers.
It does feel good when you scratch it until you get down to the meat.
That was a horse fly just landed on her and she was like, "Nope.
Oklahoma girl chiggers are bad. Yes.
I'll tell you the one thing you can do for chiggers.
Um if you think you have them on you, put you a lid full of bleach in your bath um will help. Um, and then when they if you find their bites, um, nothing really helps, but you can take clear fingernail polish and put it in their bite and uh, the bleach the bleach will uh, get them off of you and then the clear fingernail polish will keep the air out of that spot where they bit you. Um, you know what? I prefer the burn over the itch any day.
Horse flies do bite. They have a beak.
They have a beak. Look at it. Look up a horsefly and look at it. It looks like a pair of hedged clippers. The big shears with a saw blade in the middle.
And you look it up. And when you see a horsefly coming towards you, you'll run from now on. If you actually look up what it does under a microscope, [ __ ] them things.
That's the only thing I've seen Rufus go through these barbwire fences and never a drop of blood go right through it like spiderw webs stretching. You can't touch that wire right there without bleeding.
If you touch any of that, I've seen Rivers go through it and stretch that [ __ ] until it snaps on both ends. And I've never seen a drop of blood. I have seen a horsefly have it running off his shoulders all the way down around to his belly. Those big horse flies, you know, we get some down here that are like that. I've seen them bite him and his skin is about that thick. And I've seen them bite all the way through it.
See, she's got one on her butt cheek right there.
Doesn't sound like a 747.
Catch it.
I can't even smash them on here. I get in trouble.
Um, that one there flew off with no problems.
Spooked it. Rub's like, "You touch her.
You touch her with a stick. You touch somebody.
You got a cookie.
We've got a lake not too far from our house. We fish a lot.
Yeah, I know.
What me and my brother use is catch them pull their wings off and then throw them out on the pond, let big old bass come up and eat them.
But I'm just saying he wasn't the biggest calf. he was when he was born, but um he was real skinny. I've got some pictures of him and videos of him.
You'll have to go back pretty good ways.
Um Roxan was actually quite a bit bigger than him for the first year or two, actually.
Well, now she's not.
Holy [ __ ] I know. He's like, "What's going on?
Dance is not doing good, but I am looking at it contemplating.
Good looking cow, Patty. Roxan, I was hoping. God mighty, how do y'all poop right in the wind, man?
That one stank.
Rubish, your head's getting bigger.
Can y'all hear the doves?
It's not going to be easy moving them off this spot so I can start moving this fence, but it's going to have to happen.
I'm debating on going putting my fork on my tractor and just moving the feed straw first, feeding them down there, and then getting to work on the fence.
Won't y'all go down somewhere and find somewhere else to sleep?
Roffus, can you go find somewhere else to sleep for a while? Boy, that fence ain't very tall.
What are you doing, big boy? Huh?
He is a solid.
Good boy. Ruth Loof.
Ruth, you ready for your new Corell so I can contain you? Kind of. Hopefully.
I don't feel like I need to contain you.
This none of this fence makes any difference though. Guess I like standing right out in the wide open with him.
That's how stupid I am.
He got taller, bud.
Of course. Get him right up there.
I think he's gotten taller. Actually, we need a tape measure.
You're just about over top of my head now.
I smell that pee. It'd be good to get over there and sniff it. You know it.
Why are you being oddly good today?
Cleveland's scratching on scratching you.
God, he's tall.
Hell, I can That's some [ __ ] I don't know if y'all can see, but he's about I bet he's damn near a foot taller than my horse. If I got drinking and fell off of him, it'd probably nearly kill me without him even bucking.
Oh yeah, he's all huffy and puffy right now. Can hear him huffing.
A look at the barbells underneath there swinging around.
Oh yeah, I would say he's right now today if we weighed him, I would say he's he should have put on at least 300 lb in 18 months. He tried to take a step right there and his foot just sunk.
That's why everybody's like, "Take Rufus to the beach." And I was like, that son [ __ ] wouldn't make it. He wouldn't make it two foot before he was buried up.
He high centered 29. Oh, he already weighed 29. Yeah, he weighed 2,900 last time we weighed him.
I'd say he'll weigh 30 between 31 and 3,400 lb now. Easy. That's being modest.
He should be around 35 because it's been 18 months since we weighed him.
Um, I'll probably never weigh him again.
Uh, unless I get some kind of portable scales because he is hell on a stock trailer.
He'll only get weighed again. Um, well, that's why I'm going to look at the stock trailer today after I get this fence moved. I need to move the fence this morning. So the decal's got all day to figure out where it's at now and whether or not roof is going to approve of it so that if they do want to rip it down, then it'll get ripped down during daylight. So I can come up with something else.
I don't know. You can see me just everywhere. He just sinks buries up.
You can't get down in there where the cow is. It's out in the hole. They're all down in there being happy. You're too big. You're like a school bus trying to back out.
I'm not going to mess with them.
He's like, I know I just smelled her butt like 15 seconds ago, but I'd really like to get down there and smell it again just in case.
Why are you staring at her for?
It is very intensely looking the lip curl. I want to put that on a shirt.
Yeah, he's from his head to his tail, he's about a little over 11 feet, maybe closer to 12t now. So, it takes him a little bit of room to turn around.
He was 2900 lb 18 months ago. I think he's he should be close to 35 now.
See how much the angle changes on the camera when you're down here and buy him. It's the same thing. I don't know.
Y'all y'all get a perspective and then I have the perspective I have all day every day. the perspective on the camera makes them look small sometimes and big sometimes. So sometimes but that's this is what I see every day like nobody my buddies or some attorneys from down in Mississippi and they they were talking [ __ ] They came out here and them son of [ __ ] wouldn't even stand right there. They wouldn't even walk up there and stand. But they said that ain't enough fence.
I said, "Well, big boys go on."
I know. That's what I deal with.
And poor old Redford has to deal with that.
He's got a really crazy red to him.
It's a little different deal, too, when you see him in person and he's standing here breathing and you can feel him moving around and and you hear everything underneath his feet squishing and um and then if you ever make him mad and um you see his face when he's mad, you know, people don't realize it, but you know, when a dog gets mad and and it's wanting to get somebody, it has a real mean face. Well, he has a mean face, too.
And it's really hard to see on camera, but it is no [ __ ] Makes your hair stand up on your head.
He gets a face on him just like a dog.
Coughing up his kid.
Girls can walk up to him, but boy, I'm gonna tell you right now, I ain't never I haven't seen any men that he liked.
big red bastard. I can't wait to get him underneath this barn. That's why I'm trying to move as f as [ __ ] today.
But I'm going have to buy a lot of panels.
U these panels here that I have aren't worth a [ __ ] They're too light. And um he goes through them things like a pie pan. So I'm going to go buy some real ones. And then um I'm going to get a green panel and then start drilling post holes.
But the girls uh Paisley brought her little wiener dog out here and Rhonda nearly tore this fence down and then Roxanne was trying to go through the fence. Cows with babies do not like dogs. They will uh run you down. They will stomp you to out. You do not want to be around cows.
Bulls, not so much. They don't really care. You don't want to be around Roxan or Rhonda with a dog of any size. I don't care what size it is. They go nuts, especially when they have babies.
And uh I think y'all want to see that.
God almighty.
Poop makes a different patty when it falls from six foot off the ground. you know, I wasn't down into that.
Um, last week we have a we take a vacation every year in the about this time and um Ross is back. He didn't go to sleep.
Processing weight cost a roof that's just live weight worth 8,900 counting process roof is worth about 9,750 bucks. Yeah. Right now the cattle market u he's worth about four bucks a pound.
So 3,000 pounds.
Um, he would sell for about 10,000 probably if he wasn't Roffus and he was just going to something like that.
I would never sell Roffus.
But everybody cattle are all on a scale body weight. So Ruth there, she would probably bring about $6 a pound because she can you can add a lot of weight to her. So she's more valuable per pound because she's not done growing.
So a lot of farmers what they'll do is they'll buy that size and smaller and um so say you bought a hundred of them that weighed 600 lb. Let's say you bought a hundred that weighed 500 pounds and then you you put them out here and you fed them so many dollars, you know, worth of feed, some really good feed, and you added 100 pounds to a hundred of them. And then then you resold them for that same amount of money. It's just like the stock market, same [ __ ] So, a lot of farmers just take a cow or calf, I mean, and finish them out and then sell them.
And you're as long as the market stays up, but if the market crashes, nope, nobody here gets sold.
Um, that's how you make your money. Um, or you have cows and you raise a beef farm where you actually raise cow calves and sell the calves. Somebody else finishes them out.
Um, that's how the market works.
Buy low, sell high. It's kind of like that. Um, the thing is like Ruth there, see, she would sell for a lot more per pound.
So, it's it's really hard. There's a h there's a sweet spot in there. So, if you sell a 500lb calf, you know, at $6 a pound, but then the,000 lbs, it only brings $4 a pound. you know, there's a happy in there. Um, I've seen little calves sell for way up there, you know, $7 a pound.
Um, so then you have to keep them for so long, but then you also got to count all that feed you put in them.
Yeah. I don't know what she's really wanting, but hell no.
It's up to you guys. Take care of these things if anything ever happens to me.
So y'all just remember that.
Oh yeah, she got a lot of look.
He's big. He keeps getting bigger.
You know, so you rub all over them so that they get used to touching them.
Then you can milk them or whatever when they get older. But if you don't touch them all over, um, they get so that they when you do touch them in a weird spot, they don't like that feeling. So you want to rub their bellies and their necks and everything.
She's like, "Why did you stop?"
Oh, girl. She's a good girl.
You can't help it because the babies I've hel uh doesn't really mind anything you can do anything you want to with her.
She'll just let you hug her and hug her and hug her.
They are If you look at her, there's one fly I see on her whole body. And she's white, so they'd show up like crazy.
U that breed for some reason just naturally does not get insects. You can look it up. It even says it. I came up with that on my own. I looked it up and it was like they naturally don't have insects.
Are you good girl?
And I don't know if y'all can see, but their eyelashes are so thick that you can't even see their eyeball.
So, the flies can't get through those eyelashes.
Whoops. Did you scratch your ear? Gosh dang it. No.
That's why we're putting in the wood rail fence so we don't have to worry about her scratching her ears.
She's going to have some big old horns.
They're going to be big thick ones.
They're not going to come out like a long horn. I don't really know what they're going to look like. They're probably going to be some big old nubs.
But I'm going to tell you, she's going to end up hurting me before it's over with. Unfortunately, I already see it coming. But but part of it they just hurt you.
Yep. Her daddy was a blue and her mama's a red. Um so you see that red down her back and red head and she has just a touch of the red coloring but most of it is that blue black.
Her daddy was a big old boy.
She just stays spotless, too. It's so strange.
Yeah, you can dehorn them. Her mama's dehorned. Her mom had big horns. She was dehorned before I got her. They're just so rough on each other with horns. But honestly, I wanted to see her with horns.
That's my own demise.
I done it to myself.
Yep. She'll stay that color. She might actually get a little bit wider if that's possible.
Just stay back. I'm going to take this fence down today.
They're all going to freak out when they come running up here. And there's a fence down there further. It's going to go to that far tree and then across. I can build the corral. So, they're all going to come running wide open.
Hopefully see the face has moved.
She's big though. She's got a big old butt on her. She's got some big old legs, big bones. Her feet look great.
Um that big old rump is what the beef guys like, you know, she is pretty uh this all this bars coming out. Uh yeah, they'll see it. I mean, I'm going to move the feature off, too, so they'll stop. But cows are uh creatures of habit. They go to the same place to be fed.
If you change where they eat at, it'll take a month before they figure it out.
What are they asking?
I think it kicks a lot of the comments out that I can't see.
Ruth, would you please stop?
Do you need to feed them in the summer?
I don't. I feed them um to make sure that they all stay here. Summertime and springtime when everything turns green everywhere.
Um look, there's a whole there's some old shitload of deer down there now. The hell are they all doing?
There's a mama with a baby right down there.
See that little baby? I think it was twins.
Anyways, that's what it was. That one better a baby down there and was coming back to get it.
Yeah.
The only way I would sell any of my babies in the future is if they go to something to where they will not be processed.
if they go to like another farmer or somebody else that that will keep them um like I do and I probably wouldn't sell them.
Um I would probably give them to them but it would have to be under that kind of thing. You know what I'm saying?
I would tell it to them so that if it ever they ever needed it to go somewhere, it would have to come back to me.
Yeah. Who could we sell? Who would we sell? Like this is the OG group here.
Who? Rhonda. No. God.
