In this brief video, a rancher narrates the process of moving recently weaned calves—only five days post‑weaning and after a 200‑mile truck transport—to pasture for the first time on horseback. The calves were initially gathered using a helicopter. As they approached a gate, the gate’s rattling startled them, but the narrator stepped out onto the opposite side of the pen, waited patiently, and gently redirected the herd, successfully guiding them across the pasture. The clip highlights practical handling techniques, calf behavior after transport, and the rancher’s calm, hands‑on approach to moving the herd.
