Our Wyoming Life features our Wyoming ranch and our ranch family. Giving you a look into the workings of ranching from raising cattle to raising and harvesting crops. Erin will join you weekly out of the garden, showing you how she helps provide for our family through growing produce and selling at local farmers markets, and Mike will take you along as he tends to the animals and land of ranch, from calving to fencing to planting and harvesting hay.

I'm a retired police officer, I worked for a township police department in the country. I had just stopped at a fruit farm and purchased some apples. Then I got a call of cattle out on a road, well when I arrived there were numerous cattle on the road. I sat for a second and thought, how am I going to get them back in the field. Well I got my new bag of apples and broke them in two and throwing them in the field as far as possible. It worked too my surprise. Then started fixing the fence with the tools that I carried in my cruiser. I didn't know cow's like apples, I don't know why horses do! God bless.

[@steakandeggscynthiar.7714]

You would be surprised what cows like. Our's love corn on the cob (of course) sweet potatoes, butternut squash, pumpkins, and watermelon.

[@alexbrown979]

Damn a police officer doing it all!!! Gets the cows in and fixes the fence! 👍🏽👍🏽

[@brianhubbard6423]

@@alexbrown979 when your a country cop you learn how to help people and their animals, believe me I had a great Sargent and he tought me well.

[@vickyburton2434]

Brian Hubbard that was amazing quick thinking! Thank you for your service.💗

[@beun2198]

Fun fact: when you feed cows to many apples they get drunk because the apples proof in the first stomach

[@kornfedboy]

To this day, cattle are one the things about my rural western Iowa childhood that I miss most. Especially in springtime when the young calves practically have springs in their feet! My parents are retired, and Dad sold off the remainder of the herd probably 20 years ago. Spent a lot of time checking fence before moving them into new pasture. The first thing the herd would do is to check out the perimeter of the whole pasture! My Mom also probably misses the cattle. She seemed to fool us every year on April 1 by waking up early in the morning and yelling something to the effect of "Wake up! The cattle are out!!". With corn around, there was the danger that they could get into that and founder, possibly dying. By the time my brother and I would have our boots on, Dad had already ran the 100 yard dash down to the water tank by the cattle yard before realizing it was April Fools day! Great memories.

[@paulthomas2236]

Best show on KZbin thanks for helping feed the world

[@the_weeaboot8042]

Checked the number of subscribers on Tuesday, February 6 @ 10:55 PM. 75k. Congrats y'all.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thank you very much - Mike

[@kellyrobinson3136]

We had 8 head of escapees last weekend due to a high winds breaking trees. While we were in the process of splicing 5 strands of barb, we had a group on each side of us trying to create their own exits. I finally had to get crazy on'em. Poor lil buggers probably have nightmares about me chasing them and screaming all kinds of pretty colorful words 😂🤣. Oh, by the way ... After seeing your Jake's wire tightening tool, we ordered one AND LOVE IT! Lil pricey on the clips but well worth it. Thanks Mike.

[@vickyslansky4260]

Growing up on a farm with cows was fun with all the experiences from branding to bottle feeding.

[@courtney444102]

Here in Louisiana, we call a T-post driver a “mother-in-law”... the tale goes that when your mother-in-law is being too nosey, you need one of these to put up a fence to keep her out. Gotta love old tradition! Lol

[@Riqrob]

I was raised on a Montana cattle ranch. Many ranchers had a good cow dog as did we as constant work companions and helpers. Blacky the cow dog loved to "train" fence jumpers by putting them back one the "right" side...........

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

That wire tighter sounds like a great idea mate :D I need one!

[@steakandeggscynthiar.7714]

I like that tool you have that tightens the barb wire. We use a crow bar and stretch it around a post and it takes two of us. One pulling on the crow bar and one nailing the staples in, but we get it done. At least your cows did not wander to far off.

[@vickyburton2434]

You know, the yellow grass is always greener on the other side!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Tomhohenadel]

Great video Mike. Those cows are much like 2 year olds. They want to be where they aren’t supposed to be. Chinook winds are something to look forward to. Thanks

[@CC-xk6cp]

Hi again! Just like young kiddos. Have to get into a bit of mischief! Lol Fence and water equal ongoing problems! Yay for fence stretchers that make the job a lot easier. Nice to see you're not snowed in. But oh that wind!! Hang in there Mike. We're on the way to spring! Lol Catcha again next time...

[@robertv8851]

Mike I just watched bad pigs and now bad cows ,funny.

[@bustersmith5569]

Good job Mike !! That fence tool looks like it works great !!!

[@r4ym1n13]

Cool drone shots. Maybe the cows just want a hug from you ?

[@floridaswampman7648]

I like the whiskey glasses. I dont miss that weather.

[@theresemaylone642]

I love the cow with white with the black spots

[@thr8061]

We had 2 great cow dogs (Australian Blue Heeler & Border Collie). We could leave gates or barn doors open and they would only go up to the edge because they knew if they dared crossing, they would have a snoot full of dog. New cows/heifers found out quickly. They even knew where broken fences were and would drive cattle back thru. EXCEPT 1 cow (Bernadette) knew how to escape each night in the spring/summer. The dogs did not even bother with her. We'd wake up and there she would be laying on the front lawn, under the big shade tree, chewing her cud. My sister would just shout out to her to go back in the barn for milking and she'd get up, walk thru the front door of the barn and into her stantion. We never needed to tie up any for milking. They were all big pets anyways. Take Care!

[@Thesportsxshow]

Saw one of your old videos that you used the jakes wire tighteners, and decided I needed to get some. Couldn’t thank you enough. I have a cow just like yours, who loves getting out at least once a month. I call her expensive, my wife tells me she’s just helping us by finding weak spots in our fence.. go figure

[@fionajane56]

Your cows have been talking to our cows.....we found our pampered Jersey milk cows grazing happily on the back lawn.😆😆🤣😂 They has the grace to look quite guilty.

[@jimr9762]

Ever thought of putting a strand of electrified wire on fences. Stops cows rubbing and pushing fences down. You can get away with lighter posts cheaper wire and tend to last longer. Your long straight stretches are ideal for this but deep snow can be a problem.

[@disasterarea9341]

haha the picture of cow 39 with the barrel around it is golden

[@GrantTravels23]

Try waking up standing at the toilet to pee and you look out the window and see a bull with the hole metal panel gate around his head like a dog collar at 6am in the morning. All I could think was, "yep today's gonna be interesting"

[@davidwatt7663]

Dad always told me the best way to get a cow where you want it is to "TIE IT UP WITH IT'S TOUNGE" Good video Mike Thank you.

[@greathodgy22]

Here in Alberta the Chinook winds make the winter manageable.

[@chanlersimmons4138]

He is right food is a good motivator for a cow to go were you want them to go or follow you somewhere cows will go anywhere you want if you have food.

[@rykerj380]

At our farm we had a bull get it’s head stuck in a bale feeder and we had to cut the bars to get him out. And we ranch/farm in South Dakota!

[@yeah4me1]

Black and white cow: Hey who's that? Oh, it's only Mike.

[@jjdurrantfarm72]

I am buying my first 3 cows in march!!! I'm excited to start my own little hurd. I dont think I'd ever want as big of operation as you have. But I have watched about 80% of all your videos. And have learned much! Even tho I'm not in your community. I thank you and your family for what you guys do. Its family's like yours that keep family's like mine healthy and growing!

[@OurWyomingLife]

Justin, thank you for watching and you are in our community :) - Mike

[@taderdigger4115]

You should watch Tim Farmers videos he has a whole series of videos on starting farming.

[@bodhixxx1]

LOL had the same problem a couple weeks ago. I have a hotwire around the haystack and I had big plans to get started on a project and low and behold all 14 bulls were in the haystack (thank god they just ate some hay and not tearing SH$* up but I get it they will make a jail break when they can

[@justamom863]

I have been in love with Wyoming life since visiting WY on a family vacation ove 20 yrs ago. I love your channel and all the insight you provide those of us not lucky enough to have a Wyoming life just yet.

[@brianjonker510]

Growing up my dad called that tool a 'Fence Stretcher' With the right technique he was able to splice the wires together and have them tight. Took a little practice and I got reasonably good splicing and having a tight fence wire. Been a very long time since Ive done fencing. Bet Im not as good as I remember.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thats the word I was looking for :) Thanks Brian - Mike

[@GrantTravels23]

I may not be as good as I once was, but I'm as good once, as I ever was. 😂😂😂😂

[@tatejenkins2236]

I love the cows 🐄🐂🐂🐂🐄🐄

[@robertlong7033]

In my experience with cows electric fence or no electrified fence the boss cows would often horn a timid cow up against the fence to see what the reaction would be. Satisfied with the reaction ...out they go.

[@LibertyGarden]

Good Enough always gets the job done.

[@cyclop21]

This just happened on the Ranch. The cattle trampled the hay pasture fence line. When I came upon the Ranch the Longhorns were all laying on top of the hay that WAS baled. All of the hay was GONE! They looked up at me and with those eyes. WHAT YOU LOOKING AT?

[@brandeissports3436]

Memories of mending fences. One of my least favorite jobs. But better than having to get up in the middle of the night to get our cattle out if neighbors property.

[@ivantovar9925]

Don’t really owe cows or nothing but by watching your videos hopefully in the future whenever I get some cattle I have some knowledge or understanding of what I’m dealing with

[@1979coyote]

add a "hot line" about 3'' away from the fences, that way it deters any animal from getting too close to the fence, yes it's going to be a pain to do some of it but if it saves 1 cow/bull from getting creamed on the hwy it's well worth the time and money, just a thought.

[@garysisk3431]

Another great video. That black-baldie was watching everything you done so she could tell the others how to undo it, haha. They all have a sense of humor. Love you videos

[@myprophet1]

Had one a couple yrs ago would watch me undo a bolt snap on the gate. Darned if he didn't figure out how to undo it with his horn. Watched him do it, and when I yelled at him he knew he'd done a no-no! Never underestimate their intelligence!

[@osundgren11]

Walking over a broken fence = Super gangster! Oof

[@sissyc1913]

Always need a Cow 39 trouble maker!

[@slrein42]

Just found you guys on KZbin...well my husband found you and then shared your channel with me. I grew up on a farm and enjoyed watching the calving! Oh the Joy's of farming :) though it was a lot of years ago, my soul misses that life. Now lifes punching a time clock and working for someone else.

[@dhuffman31]

I used to think I wanted to Cattle farm, but so glad you post; made me decide that pasture isn't that much greener than mine. Best to you and your family, keep up the good work.

[@williamdunn2525]

Well as the saying goes. The grass is greener on the other side of the fence. Well maybe not greener, but they definitely wanted over there for something. Hope everything is going well Mike and I'll see ya Thursday.

[@OurWyomingLife]

I think sometimes they just do something to see if they can. Thanks William - Mike

[@rrobertomondo5173]

Excellent video Mike, as usual. Thanks

[@alaskanawesomeness9017]

is our chances even better if we stop by and help for a day lol. Headed through from way up here in a few weeks. Great video as always

[@wyowolf69]

Soooo glad I can get back to Atlanta from Casper so I can watch these again!!

[@whatheworld]

Wow, Im surprised the wind wasn't blowing and the snow flying up there in this one. Nice clip !!

[@OurWyomingLife]

Anytime I have the drone up the wind is being friendly lol. Thanks -Mike

[@jhom2970]

We had to chase our whole herd the other day. I believe cows are constantly looking for trouble

[@boydfamilyhomestead2561]

Love the videos man! I don’t have cows, but if it can’t hold water it can’t hold a goat! It never ceases to amaze me how they can find a way to get out. Our herds are never as dumb as we make them out to be sometimes. Love the channel all the from Starkville MS!

[@OurWyomingLife]

We have a neighbor with goats, which means sometimes we have goats :) Thanks - Mike

[@chicagojoe2737]

When I Was a child the cows had gotten out and come down to the house ! All 85 Holstein milk cows ! In the pitch black dark! Ive always been blind in the dark and was surprised when I went to run out to the car on the walkway and ran straight into a cow and bounced off her side and hit the ground! I looked up and had a audience of cows looking at me! Always tearing the wire fence down!

[@suhaylafiz9440]

Found your channel about a week ago and have been hooked ever since... you have such a great way of narrating and telling stories. Keep up the great work... you have a new fan all the way down here in New Zealand

[@AustinMoore231]

We had cows many years ago that would pull the post out of a wet weather creek with their heads. Then they would all just chill on the other side, which was a big hay field thank god.

[@OurWyomingLife]

oh they were taunting you :) I get that. Thanks - Mike

[@AustinMoore231]

Our Wyoming Life yes they were, but luckily they did t get out on the road or anything.

[@chanlersimmons4138]

I don't think you can call yourself a rancher unless you've had a few of these bad cows I speak from experience and still going through it.

[@avatarjo1]

Did you ever notice that it seems like motor fences are broken in the winter. I was constantly replacing rails in a snow blizzard.

[@OurWyomingLife]

I agree, we end up having quite a bit of damage from snow load. Thanks - Mike

[@charlie19649]

Not a bad fix ...at least it wasn't a boundary fence with hard blowing snow and real low temperatures..Thanks for another enjoyable video.

[@monarawles5832]

Sure hope you make your goal!

[@freedomryder2110]

Sounds like my goats. My one doe is a bulldozer and breaks solid walls and bends cattle panels 😂

[@kolilagephart3766]

Man you got it easy . Here the mud is belly deep , you have to hide your cows in the woods . If people drive by and see your cows all muddy they call 911. Cull them jumpers ,if you don't respect fences then how bout a nice ride. You should see the fences we have to build when the neighbor plants corn 2ft. away.

[@mjwswim]

Nice video! I like the Herd Report’s unveiling of the new LOGOs!

[@mattslife9979]

i might need to buy that belt buckle

[@pedaldownpetalsup]

Haven't watched you guys for a while catching up! Absolutely love your hard work family vibe. Reminds me of working in the country and doing those tasks. Boy did it make me miss those aspects. I am in the city now but I think its time to gear my life to my dreams.....

[@calumanderson5617]

Great video as always Mike, although you may get bored of me saying this in the comments section but it's always quality at its best with you and Erin.👍and when ever Blake has time to post a video too, all of you guys are great and make my day. 😊👍

[@wiedemann713]

The grass is ALWAYS greener on the other side

[@bubbycrow4931]

I've never seen the Jake's fence tightener before. Looks like a tool that will need to be added to my fencing kit.

[@mustafadarrar5880]

Got anything with Alcohol Mike? Just kidding! I'd love to share your channel with my family and friends.

[@masquitaful]

Your fence stretcher is yellow! I've never seen a yellow stretcher! Ours is brown, as in rusty. I have no idea what color it used to be.

[@sodalines]

i love the channel man. i live to the south of you in Texas doing pretty much what you do. I have learned that Cows dont give a F..... They will and can do just about anything.

[@theresathreadgill1386]

Appreciate video today! Interesting little gadget to tighten wire. Hope everyone is well. Take care

Thanks for sharing

[@dbaileyanorchardistsdaught5041]

#39 sounds like a “classy lady” and the “life of the party”. 🎉 👏🏼🐄 What’s a little fence stretching amongst friends anyway? 🥰 JK around with you. She seems like a special cow you will one day sit around a camp fire and tell the funny stories about. These are the things in life that at the time may not be funny but are timeless memories and giggles later. A lot like the memories you just reminded me of, fence building and stretching with my dad! Great memories and for sure some good laughs (now)! Great VLOG as always! It will be my honor to share your channel!

[@violetwhite-og1tu]

Love you guys

No. She is part of the family...

[@davidross6586]

I get rid of troublemakers as soon as their identified. Too many others to take care of than spend lots of time on one.

[@BPratto]

Gave it a tweet, hope you get to 100K quick.

[@dancrafton89]

Went to see my older sister one time when I was a teenager. She told us when we got there that a big bull was jumping fences and getting out of somebody's field. I when outside a little later and one of the biggest bulls I had ever seen was walking though the fence next to her house. I went back in the house a told her is not jumping the fences he was just walking though them. He walked around in her yard for awhile then went someplace else. I think he just went anyplace he wanted to.

[@sarahaugustine4185]

Congrats on your two year anniversary. Cows can be nuts. Isn't that great? I watch about 35 head each day and they keep me entertained. I understand you have bigger issues but sometimes Mike, you just need to allow cattle to be cattle.

[@randyo.bowling1907]

Mike: NEVER turn your back on your cows. Hope you don't learn that the hard way! Case in point #39. Put a yoke on her if you are going to keep her. Will help save fences. R.O.B./

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks for watching. It may appear that I have my back to them. But I have a camera monitor and can see it all behind me as I was recording :). -Mike

[@chadhazekamp6952]

Good one mike

[@guyh8186]

Just a suggestion, you should always start from bottom up, it helps you posts not to lean and make the bottom wire loose.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thank you very much. Makes sense -Mike

[@carlosramirez6792]

we all do fence on a different way i always drive post first then wire ...good videos. have a good day

[@jwjco]

Hi Mike i'll do what i can on this end to get more subscribers. I hope the cattle here stay in the fences. -20 is in the weather for the weekend , hopefully it doesn't last to long . we'll make sure there's extra hay out in the feeders. Take care and we'll be looking forward to the next vid.

[@joelmollenkopf3767]

Excellent

[@johnmorgan1629]

Mike nice to see the make do and mend solution. You're probably a bit like me want it doing right straight away, but have to be realistic, I suppose ranch life makes you become a realist, especially at this time of year. Becoming disabled with a spinal injury, it has been hard adjusting to not being able to just get things done like I used to, or want to, did see a brilliant quote the other day, which you might consider putting on the wipe board. "The greatest enemy of a good plan is the dream of a perfect plan." Carl von Clausewitz.
