What happens here
A new South Pole bull is brought to the Stoney Ridge Farm. He arrives in a trailer and is released into a small enclosure. He then walks about 500 yards to the main pasture where the other cows are. A round bale of hay is unrolled for the cows using an ATV and bale unroller. The new bull is introduced to the rest of the herd, and they become friends quickly.

(5,533 characters)Guys today on the Stony Ridge Farm Channel, we got a new bull coming in that trailer right there. We're going to have a blast. This is going to be cool. This bull is a south pole bull and you're going to find it really in a rest of these. Probably about, I don't know, three quarter size animal. You're going to love this. Compared to the rest of the cows, he's going to look like a baby. This is the bull he's in there. Wait, where's the bull? He's in there. He's in there somewhere? All right. So right in here, this is a south pole bull. Hey buddy. Hey little buddy, supposed to be a good bull, supposed to be sweetest pie, he's a little frisky right now, so we got to walk the bull all the way from the trailer up and over the hill to where the rest of the cows are and that could pose a challenge or it could be just fine. We just don't know. We're going to find out right quick. So Miss Tony Ridge is going to hold the camera, right? On it. Ready? Yes sir. All right. Miss Tony Ridge, be careful. He could come out and run over you. All right. All right. We've got about 500 yards to walk and the bulls are already over here looking for hay. Thank goodness we've fenced in the hay. We'll just hang for a second and see if he can whistle for me to come. Go for it. No, mind on him. Mine are like little kittens, about like yours. While you do that, I'll go ahead and get ready up here. All right. So guys what we didn't anticipate was somebody's bull guy, real excited, didn't he? Pretty cool guys. We're going to let them settle down a little bit. Give these guys a farm tour and we'll come back to you in just a second once the bull and everything is settled down. What's his name? We're calling Cheeto, but Cheeto, Cheeto the bull. Welcome to the farm. All right guys so we got a new bull. These are all black Angus beef cattle right here. The bull that we got is a grass genetic cow. It's a beef cow called a south pole cow. This south pole cow what we're trying to do is breed in the right genetics for grass-fed beef here. And the south pole breed of cattle tends to do better on grass than most other breeds. In other words it tends to have less disease, less propensity for getting parasites and such. And it makes a little bit smaller cow, a little bit smaller cow is a lower impact on the land and on the soil. And you'll notice that this bull is not a very big bull. You'll also see some of the baby calves that we have out here. Some of them were born late last year and then we had one born about a week ago. So we're going to walk over here and check out this bull and his name is Cheeto. And I guess because he looks like the color of a Cheeto, I'm not too sure. So he's got to get used to me, pretty mild tempered animal. And again you can see he's standing right there beside a cow that's a yearling cow. And then this cow that's right behind him is about a two year old cow. So he's not, this is karate cow, this is a steer actually. So this young fella right here would have been a bull but he's been cut. And you can see he's just a little bit smaller framed and a beautiful, beautiful animal guys. He's been on the trailer for a little bit so he's got a little manure on him. But again compared to in Angus, this cow right here was born in September of the year before last. So he's about a year and three months old. And they buttied up pretty good, that's karate cow. Let you can see he's about the average size of a yearling cow here on the farm. Now you see Tammy over here, Tammy is the donkey, Tammy is a guard donkey and what Tammy does is, and I don't know this bull so I can't turn my back on him too much. But he's following me around like a puppy dog. Tammy is the guard donkey. Tammy guards the baby calves in case a predator gets after the calves. So all these cows, including this one that just passed gas on me, will be bred back to this bull here in the spring. We'll separate them out very soon with the steers and we'll keep them away from the mama cows until it's time. But you can see there's a little bit of socialization that has to go on with all these cows and this young bull. So they're all kind of socializing right now, establishing who's got all the dominance and who doesn't have the dominance. And there's just a bit of a pecking order that these guys have to establish. This is sweetie, sweetie is a very sweet little cow, she lets me rub her on her head and stuff. And again, that's what we're doing here. So we're breeding in grass genetics into our cattle so that we don't have to feed any grain. And so that these animals thrive on grass as well as Tammy, thriving on grass. Pretty cool. This is number 18. Number 18 did not have a calf last year and I'm sure hoping that that South Pole Bull Cheeto will do a good job with her. So that's it. That's what we're doing today here on the Stoney Ridge Farm and that's why we're doing it. We're breeding in grass genetics into our herd with a South Pole Bull. And these are Angus cows, so it'll be an Angus South Pole mix, cross is what they call it. Guys, thanks a lot for joining me here on the Stoney Ridge Farm. Just thought we'd introduce you to the newest latest member of the Stoney Ridge Farm family. This is Cheeto and Cheeto is making friends with everybody over here. Check him out. Pretty cool. Him and Karate cow, I made friends right off, didn't I? Guys, we'll see you next time on the Stoney Ridge Farm. This is just a short video to show you what's going on here. Awesome. Take care. Have a wonderful day. Woo!
