Us non-farmers can understand the feelings you may have with the hardships, because growing up watching Little House on the Prairie. I am a new viewer. I am most struck by seeing the expanse of your land and how the cattle is spread apart. I thought they would be hanging out closer together. Best wishes in 2024.

[@jangrahame4891]

My buddy prayed as the hail storm started his way. It rode down the perimeter fence of his property line. Wiped out the crops of his neighbor, and left his side of the fence untouched. Prayer works!

[@OurWyomingLife]

Prayer does work. I am amazed how storms or tornados can do so much damage and the 20 feet away it can look like nothing ever happened.

[@auntyas4petsqueenoakleyfan]

Prayers of thanks to the great Heavenly OWL heard for saving the hay and may they keep at it.

[@karenladwig]

Sending prayers!

[@davidw2959]

We were one of the RV’s parked at the ranch and were glad nothing came of the storm, both for Mike and for us. Always nice visit the ranch and the farm store. Thanks Mike for another great visit.

We are very happy that OWL & EPP didn't suffer damage form the recent storms across Wyoming. Prayers for your safety & the safety of all around you.

Thank you Alex. We appreciate that!

Happy to hear you missed the bad part of the storm. Prayers really do work! As the saying goes: If you stay ready,you don’t need to hurry and get ready. Everyone stay safe and continued prayers for all of you.

[@oldladyfarmer7211]

I prayed so hard for you when I heard about the weather headed your way. I'm so sorry this happened. You're in my prayers! I wish you 600 bales of great hay!

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thank you @oldladyfarmer7211.

[@jerrylansbury9558]

Well.......this is farming......its also about planning ! Been farming for 45 years. The financial end.......is also about planning. Its not about praying. As a farmer we understand " most " of the risks involved. Sometime mother nature is cruel. But.... if planning is involved..........most times there is money to be made...and a future !

[@oldladyfarmer7211]

@@jerrylansbury9558I am a Christian Farmer, not an Atheist Farmer. In my world, God helps those who seek His help. A person would have to be an idiot not to plan - of course, that's part of it. But having faith in God is foremost as long as there have been farmers. Statistics prove that the majority of farmers are God-fearing people who also plan. So when you say "It's not about praying.", you are denigrating the faith that keeps us going. Just saying.

[@jerrylansbury9558]

@@oldladyfarmer7211 Im also a Christian Farmer. In my world God guides me. Im one of God children.......not an idot. All people are Gods Children. Not idots. I dont " FEAR GOD " I feel his with me at all times ! Praying is believing. Planning is direction.

As I was watching this video my heart went out to all ranchers. Most people do not realize what ranchers go through. I can’t imagine going to bed not knowing if you will be wiped out. Prayers are answered. Stay safe.

[@beverlygiroux2824]

Thank you God, for sparing OWL from the worst of the storms. Now, they can get on with their haying, knowing their crop will suffice the herd this winter. So glad you took all the precautions with your vehicles, etc.....that is always a good thing, to be prepared. The fields are looking good, Mike, and as usual, the herd is really looking great!! Hugs to all, Bev in Maine

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks Bev.

[@beverlygiroux2824]

I have been watching the weather in Wyoming tonight, fearful for you folks, but you are safe! Phew!

[@CindyKinney]

Oh, Mike and Crew, I'm so glad that you didn't get what you were fearing. Like dodging a bullet, I guess. Stay safe, always, and take good care.

[@thomaskohler4257]

I am very happy to see you in a good mood after the "storm". I can comprehend how devastating hail can be. Even in Germany we have hail of the size of a tennis ball some time. Wish you a very very good harvesting season. Greetings from Fankfurt Germany!

[@BBKERNSALLNhomestead]

Now was so cool Mike, love how you brought us along on the bad days of ranching. Mother Nature gave you a PASS on this one!!!!!

[@solitairesmith3553]

Thank God Glad to see you made it through with no problems. Barely missed a Tornado here. Guess you can say that we both made it

[@deblarsen8528]

Hey Mike! The power of prayer works! 🙏🙏 So glad your hay crop is okay.... I hope it stays that way! I grew up in Lincoln County Minnesota We had a hail storm go through in the mid '60's. My Dad and a neighbor saw a hail stone the size of a bushel basket! The crops were beat into the ground, animals killed, trees were stripped of their leaves and small branches. windows broke, cars & tractors beat to heck. We were at swimming lessons at the lake and my Uncle (our Red Cross director) got us all on the school buses and up to the school we went. We could hear the new windows in the school breaking....we were all scared out of our wits. My brother's bed had hail on it! 😳 So glad when a bad storm is predicted, anywhere, and it doesn't happen. That is a miracle. Keep safe Mike, Erin and everyone! 🙏 Until your next video ~~~ Stay safe, healthy and happy! 🐄🐂🐃

[@Dan-qy1rg]

Nice to see you didn't get any severe weather, hopefully that will continue to be throughout the season. You are getting more rain out there than we are here in the midwest, how strange is that. I am glad for you guys, I hope you continue to see good precipitation out there and it improves in the midwest. Good luck with the haying, hope it goes good. Thanks for sharing and have a good week.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Have a good week Dan.

[@cathy_p637]

Love and prayers for you guys sure worked, thank you Jesus. Continued prayers for y'all and for all those who were affected by the storm. My heart breaks for them and ANY losses they have suffered. Keep on with Ethel updates okay?❤❤

Was so worried for the ranch because of this storm. So happy and relieved it wasn't much to speak of and crops were saved. Whewww. Driving from WY -SD to Canada, we saw young cornfields flattened in areas....I felt so bad for those farmers....and then mere miles away, nothing-no damage to speak of...Mother Nature is a beast!

[@jeanjohnson2402]

I can’t imagine preparing for a storm like that but where I live in BC Canada 🇨🇦 our biggest threat in the summer is forest fires that have destroyed many homes and businesses over the years and have killed farm and wild animals, Mother Nature’s anger comes in many deadly and devastating forms. Thank god you were spared this time around and I will continue to pray for all the people out your way! 🙏🏻🤞

[@sandyoklahomatransient8557]

Mike, Glad to see y'all are okay. When you showed the satellite view of the storm, I looked for a hook echo. Didn't see any, I knew you were going to be okay (no tornado). We live in central Oklahoma, tornado alley. I hate tornadoes to a passion!! I've learned to watch for certain things which in the sky, and on the satellite that will cause a tornado. Especially after living through an F5 with winds beyond 220MPH. Now extreme winds, hail, and rain can cause just as much severe damage to property, hay, gardens, animals, vehicles, homes, barns, ect... Thank goodness y'all, your animals, and property are okay!!!! Prayers always help ❤

I cant even imagine going through a F5 tornado. Glad your here to share that story!

So glad Mike that you're all safe! Sorry to hear and see the damage to that town though. I have only seen one tornado some years ago here in England. The hail and thunder was the worse I have ever known. A house up the road was struck by lightning and rushing outside to get my daughters in from their play house we saw the tornado. Luckily it touched ground and quickly dispersed. The power of the weather is incredible and you dealt with this so calmly. I was a quivering wreck! Said a prayer tonight asking that you can get in your hay safely 🙏 xx

You said it, the cows are good predictors, when they were not nervous, you shouldn't have been. It is always best to prepare. We were taking a drive around Bear lake and Montpelier Idaho on Friday. Not far away near Soda Springs Idaho there was a tornado. The weather has been interesting!

Those clouds sent an absolute chill down my spine. and not in a good way. bad memories. I am from Alberta Canada and although I grew up in the city, we had farmers and ranchers who were close family and friends who were as much family as if they were our blood. Alberta‘s weather patterns are much like yours in the southern part of our province, and I know the damage that hail releases on crops. I am so glad that this storm passed harmlessly over you.
