Tyler Flynn runs a small beef cow-calf operation in Northern California at Farmer Tyler Ranch, where he also grows hay and raises a few pigs and chickens for family use while documenting the work and lessons learned through his YouTube channel.

In This Episode, We Explore: 

  • Coming back to a family ranch and building a cow-calf business on small acreage  
  • Northern California conditions, including irrigated pasture, rice country, and seasonal rainfall patterns  
  • How and why Tyler uses irrigated pasture rotation, including short rest periods in his context  
  • The shift from small square bales to round bales and what changed his mind  
  • Using hay equipment as a pasture improvement tool, including baling pastures after grazing  
  • Tackling smut grass by cutting, baling, and managing where those bales are fed  
  • Breed composition over time, including Hereford roots and adding SimAngus genetics for heterosis  
  • How YouTube influenced management decisions and helped drive experimentation  
  • Practical YouTube lessons for farmers, including audio, camera stability, and consistent posting


Why This Episode Matters 
This conversation is a good reminder that management has to fit the place and the people running it. Tyler shares what works on irrigated pasture in Northern California, how he thinks through rotation length, equipment decisions, and weed pressure, and why consistency and realism matter when you are balancing time, labor, and livestock.
