Man that smile on that young lady says it all, great to see young folks raised right and ready to face the future

[@OurWyomingLife]

No doubt about that. She has good parents who raised her right!

[@joesephburgio3438]

So glad it's all coming together Mike. Great job by the fence guys, wow!! Everyone loves what you're doing to build the ranch. It can't help but be successful!! Hats off to you buddy, you have an eye for the future and a great mindset for success!! Excellent!!

[@OurWyomingLife]

Appreciate the comment Joseph.

[@JanesDough855]

What you've done makes the entire ranch look so much cleaner, more efficient. That fencing has got to be the best out there. A decent company that explains their product with a show and tell. Glad you able to hit a goal, even after making the decision to downsize the herd. Hard work does pay off. Thanks for bringing us along!

[@cmoreson4281]

Nobody does it better then Bekaert Fencing. They do a fantastic job.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Very very true!

[@christymercier349]

I love the web cam idea, Matt can watch his steers anytime

[@mattfencl3614]

Wasnt anyone happier to hear about the web cam than I!

[@jasnonya3005]

That appears to be a well designed set of sort chutes and finishing facility for the steers. I am impressed with the materials that Bekart uses.

[@taleenperkins4593]

The first group of kids in your new school 🥰🥰

[@OurWyomingLife]

Yep! Hoping the new school will be well accepted by the class!

[@cherylcampbell7495]

Looks really nice, clean and efficient. Shaping up so nice for ya all. You deserve it.👍🙏🇺🇸💕

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks so much

[@lauriej9418]

Wow, some nice looking steers there. Congrats on getting this done. Glad you got some more moisture. Take care, stay safe, and God bless. Have a wonderful weekend.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks, and hope you have a good weekend also.

[@henry7765]

It appears More rain in the upcoming days 🌧. Isn’t that great 😀

[@lindagentile2380]

How FUN Mike & Erin getting things changed up the way you want & growing your Dreams... Hugs & Blessings to you ALL 🙏❤️💙💖💖💙🤗✝️

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks so much

[@tokencivilian8507]

Nice looking set up you have there. That should make your operation efficient when it comes to loading / moving cattle in and out of their finishing school.

[@johnbrost5437]

Always nice when a plan comes together.

[@OurWyomingLife]

It sure is! Thanks for watching.

[@ernestdougherty3162]

the new finishing school looks beautiful great job and I want to thank everybody that helped our Wyoming life achieved this I know they appreciate it and we do to looks great great job❤❤😊😊 another beautiful video by our Wyoming life God bless

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thank you Ernest. Appreciate your comment

[@janetdupree6353]

Fantastic! Mike, I enjoy your sense your humor-always a chuckle or two 🥸

[@sheilasantiago3715]

Awesome video! Great to see everyone from Bekaert! Don't forget to share the video everyone!

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thans Sheila, and please do share the video. Thanks for watching.

[@Dan-qy1rg]

That is really an awesome looking fence. The Bekaert Fencing folks did a beautiful job, so professional and effective fencing. I think you'll be very very pleased with the flow and the ease of moving those steers through that system you built, looks fantastic. Thanks for sharing, have a great Friday and Memorial Day weekend.

[@jwenting]

We used the equivalent fence (though with wooden poles) that they had back in the 1970s to fence in our garden. When the property was sold in 2000 it still stood (apart from a few bits squashed down by falling trees).

[@muddpuppy07]

Installed 13-48 sure lock fence 3 years ago. Using the medium joiners in the runs makes tensioning a breeze. T clips are a god send cause you are not twisting that wire easily. Only issue right now is product availability. My local dealer had not received any product in over a year. Had to call the area sales rep to find a store. Great customer service by them though

[@susans9617]

"Finishing School" has a nice ring to it. Congrats on getting pens built and critters moved. Have a blessed week

[@pcwizard67]

Had a car roll over through my Bekaert high tensile fence this afternoon. Only had to replace two staples and tighten it back up a little. Great product!

[@ermamoy]

Wow hope no one was hurt

[@pcwizard67]

They were ok! I'm sure a bit shaken.

[@trailwalker19]

Super super cool fencing system as well as the setup in the finishing school. The steers seemed excited to come over to their new digs... thanks to the Beckart Fence Co. many can go to their local extension office..

[@thewisceeeggg1624]

Rather impressive editing job on this video, with the alternating of the fence construction explaination and the actual use of the new layout.

[@lauradittman8471]

FINISHING SCHOOL, FINISHING SCHOOL- No worries, you'll get it down. Very professional and well put together fencing. Looks good Mike!!! Everyone have a great evening and stay safe

[@OurWyomingLife]

LOL Yes your right FINISHING SCHOOL! Thanks for watching.

[@nadinelataille7462]

That is some impressive fencing for sure. Love the clean lines. Never thought I would find a metal fence to be enjoyable to look at but it is!

[@OurWyomingLife]

You and me both! Thanks for watching.

[@RebekahTOUCHEDBYYARN]

I am so excited that the fencing is finished and that the stairs are back over there in their finishing school. Thanks for the great video

[@OurWyomingLife]

Us too!

[@sandibeu3304]

Can I just say its wonderful seeing all that green in the background!!!

[@hattiecolley54]

Great job Mike. The Ranch continue to Positive Progress. I think I would say that it is All worth it. Fantastic Crew of Professional. Thank u for sharing in this Adventure!

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks Hattie.

[@august3777]

The fencing is really remarkable. Between the the fencing and the grass, this looks like a whole new ranch that I’ve never seen before. Great job.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks August. The ranch is taking on a whole new look, and more functionality.

[@BBKERNSALLNhomestead]

All the great fencing will make the New Ranch work better!!!!

[@OurWyomingLife]

Yes it will

[@barbaraberrier8840]

Wow that is really awesome. It will make things so much easier for you and Jeff in the long run. A nice way for campers to see steers with no chance of harm. Love the way the chute system is set up. Have a great weekend. May we never forget the men and women who gave their all for our freedom.

[@alisonlightner866]

GREAT VIDEO MIKE, IT IS SO GOOD TO SEE GREEN GRASS GROWING OUT IN THE FIELDS.

Hot dang, that property across the road is looking soooo good. The Bekaert visits are always impressive, Keith and Van are skilled craftsmen, good ambassadors for their company too!

[@vanmedley3413]

Thank you Jeff! It is so many more than Keith and myself, it starts with a GREAT manufacturing team in Van Buren Arkansas that manufactures all of our Agriculture Fence!

Thank you! You too!

[@DANSHotshotTrucking_Outdoors]

Finishing schools looks damned good. Looks to be clean and efficient.

[@larryparish5984]

That tin you & Jeff took down from the fence could be utilized for a shelter for the A-Team (maybe). Have a great day 😊.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Possibly? Some sort of windbreak/shelter is in the future plan.

[@CowGirlKat8691]

Was out of town for the weekend, we went to see President Trump in Casper, WY! It was standing room only & many great speakers! Saw we got some good rain when we got home and was pleasantly surprised our Tomatoes & Pepper plants still standing! Liking the new fence! Edit: We drove past your place on the way home! If we wasn't so exhausted we'd of stopped by!😊

[@ejharrop1416]

Great video and in a way the challenges y'all have had have opened a door to getting the operation started the way you want it. Good luck. And, in the background it looks like the color of money, green. I hope you get a bumper hay crop this year. Cheers

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks EJ. Hoping this is the year for that bumper hay crop.

[@jacquelynmedina5401]

So happy for y'all!! Looks to be amazing!

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks Jacquelyn.

Thanks Nita

[@nitapachulski9758]

@@OurWyomingLife Your welcome 🤗

[@rontiemens2553]

That is some beautiful and super strong fencing. Goes well with the Arrowquip.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks Ron, and I agree the Arrowquip and Bekaert Fencing go together link a hand and glove IMO.

[@jeffryblackmon4846]

Interesting content and very nicely edited for maintaining the viewer's attention with short segments.

[@bessiewilson7425]

That is such a neat fence

[@williamsmith8808]

Great video as always hope to get to visit. Someday soon but it's hard to find someone to look after animals as you know

[@jamesdickman8315]

Very good video...editing, photography and sound.

[@pamelacrowell2007]

Fence looks great. I love the idea of the "Finishing School" sign!

[@markminton8974]

Fence looks great..

[@wiguy3462]

Sounds like you are getting some much needed moisture. Hope it is soaking in and hope it continues.

[@richardbeach8632]

Fencing is a lot of work !! I have 3 acres, and I’ve been working on fencing it for years 😂😂, temporary fencing followed by permanent, to keep 6 dogs in, still about 800’ to go. I enjoy your fencing videos, thank you !!

[@OurWyomingLife]

Glad you enjoy them Richard.

[@thomaswilson8634]

Nice. I really like the new feed lot. Maybe we can get some more marbling on them for my next order. 😁😁😁

[@denisemmunger9437]

Sitting here chuckling to myself when you were running the A Team through the Arrow Quip. The A Team was most likely thinking this is way too easy. What's up with this, no shots, no squeezing us. For real what is this guy up too 🤣🤣 As always a great video, music, educational. Great job to Keith, Maddie, and Van. Fence looks awesome !!!!! Thank you Our Wyoming Life for allowing us to come along on your journey !!!!

[@storiesinstones]

Thank you Beckhart! You are certainly making a very positive impact at Our Wyoming Life. Mike, Erin and team thank you also for bringing us along. So very grateful.

[@beverlygiroux2824]

OH OH....You need a new wiper blade, for the windshield on the hay bale carrier piece of equipment. The fencing info was interesting.....Too bad I don't have a farm, and I am too old to need fencing! You have a large farm, lots of room. Im glad you are not a cow! Your farm is growing leaps and bounds!!! God Bless....Bev in Maine

[@OurWyomingLife]

LOL With as much rain as we get a new wiper blade is pretty low on the shopping list. Thanks for watching.

[@scottcahala7779]

The finishing school looks great. ??? Are you planning to add a wind break for them??? I am glad to see you've been getting some 🌧️ hopefully it keeps coming. Thanks for sharing your lives with us all. I can't wait to see the next step.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Yes, some sort of wind break/shelter is the future plan. Thanks for watching

[@denniswaite7998]

(What you've done makes the entire ranch look so much cleaner, more efficient) I agree very professional

[@tammycox9789]

I like the new fence it looks good and solid.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Yes it does, thanks!

[@ronniewalker2881]

Good video need to build some tipe of shade for the A team

[@lisavanallen3280]

Fencing looks great!

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks Lisa.

[@46rambo49]

Bekeart is great for the horses and keeping kids from poking their heads thru the fence. I use pipe for the bison though seems to hold up the longest when we bring them in once a year

[@karenspeer7378]

That Fencing is Awesome!! 😀❤⚘

[@patriciabeyer7824]

Hi. Hey that looks great! The animals move through it real nice. 👍👍 You folks put a lot of work into it all. Blessings to you. 🙏🙏☝️👍☝️🙌🙌🇨🇦🥰

The steers flowed thru smoothly. Thanks everybody worked real hard to make Finishing School a reality. Thanks for watching.

[@deborahlewis5964]

Wow!!!! Looks super!!!! Cows are going to love their new areas…. Love all the new fencing…. I bet Matt loves seeing all the new things added to the ranch….Ranch hand Jeff is a great addition to the ranch!!! Great jobs to all that did the new transformation.

Thanks Terresia

Looks good Mike What a great company to work with.

[@advorsky1]

You guys work so damn hard to keep us mere humans fed! Thank you to all of the farmers and ranchers all over the United States that work 24/7/365 As especially raising animals the work never stops! Thank You Mike, Erin, Jeff, and Matt for all you alls hard ass work and especially taking all of us along with you and showing us everything you guys do to keep us with FOOD! Those fellas (The A Team) look nice and healthy! The Finishing School looks awesome love the new AeroQuip chutes and gates should make your life much easier!

[@glenndunnington8551]

It is so great seeing your ideas come to life in the new finishing pens.

[@patriciaamado6698]

So cool to see green there at the ranch. Can't remember the last time I start it. My weather app says you have more rain coming your way. Always enjoy Keith there helping the ranch with the building of your fences. It's all yours and it's coming along nicely.

[@lhenneman6447]

That is pretty cool fencing. Wish it had been available when I had livestock.

[@cherryfarms2135]

The view from the tractor cab us awesome, I would love to come out and go for a ride… around here there are too many houses

[@salmartin9]

the fence can't keep the deer out Mike, Erin still goes in LOL

[@JP-bv7bf]

What a fantastic fencing system. So pleased you were able to get your fencing in place to make it all much easier for you to have your “finishing school”. Well done

[@andyhead564]

Very outstanding job Looks so professional guys really nice Jon👍👍👍👍

[@TheDumpTrailerGuyLLC]

What an awesome company. that fence looks amazing and you can tell some real thought went into it with the camping being so close by and the fence being kid friendly. really is the start of a whole new ranch.

[@mea3665]

Congratulations! I know you were very worried Looks like things are going well. Even seeing some green grass in the Owl cam.

[@BillTheTractorMan]

I really like the Bekart products and fencing methods, We are working on integrating it into our system as time goes on. I really like how the finishing school turned out! Honestly I might copy your set up some day in a different scale.

[@dhansonranch]

Good stuff !!! That is a very well built pen....very impressive indeed. Wind fence for the a-team or are they sheltered by the B&B?? I wondered about the solid lock fencing for horses...interesting! I did decide one thing though - I need to sharpen my knife - I don't cut through wrap that easy! LOL. Thanks for taking us along!

[@ellenhinderlie6329]

Seeing your new Bekaert fencing (3-D and 13-48), as well as your previous deer fence around the gardens, in person was very impressive! Great products and installation! The new feedlot is very nice and well planned out for efficiency, especially with your new Arrowquip system and (soon to be) scales. I think it’ll make management over there so much better for you and the cattle. We will be checking out the websites (Bekaert and Arrowquip) and looking into their products for sure. Thanks for the great hospitality. It was nice meeting you all!! Have a blessed Memorial Day….. and happy haying in a couple of months! 👍🏼🤞🏼🙏🏼👌🏼🤗

[@jbweld6193]

Looks great! And did you say rain?!?! I'm happy to hear that word!

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks JB. You and me both like to hear that.
