Our Wyoming Life
PO Box 667
Gillette WY 82717
Join us on our journey as we leave a life in corporate america to come back to Wyoming and help on the family ranch.
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.

Thunder, good strong name good strong bull. Growing up on the plains of Wyoming I still remember the thunder before the storms and the thunder of hooves as they quickly run through the sage. So many years ago, like bulls we age and move on. I enjoy watching and remembering, I know your dad and your father inlaw are smiling and proud.

[@CharlieParker1959]

That rush of emotion holding back the tears when the vet tells you the news that a loved animal is too badly injured and they have to be humanely put to sleep and all the time thinking could his accident have been avoided, But Mike, you take stock you looked after him to your best ability and big beasts break legs easily so unless you penned him in cotton wool nothing more could have been done and at the right time you made the right decision RIP Bubba God bless and watch over you Erin and the Kids mate..... and call the black bull Tyson.

[@rawdawg2716]

The last time I cried about an animal being put down was when my pet pig red was loaded onto the trailer to be butchered. I bottle fed him and we kept him around for a long time as a breeder bore for us.....Then my dad announced we were loading him up to take to the meat market....the hardest part of seeing a friend go is being a kid and eating your friend on Saturday morning after you get in from chores. That son is the truth

Great video Mike. Like the drone aerial views, adds a lot of depth to the operation.

[@damonmayfield5087]

Please take us with you when you go bull shopping this year . Would like to know what you look for, etc.

[@markmortensen4341]

Great video and nicely put about the animals that are no longer with you. That meet and greet sounds pretty cool for next year. Have you got plenty of RV parking? I think your going to need it for sure. Thanks again e sharing.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Actually we dont have hookups but thats something we might have to look into, there are also lots of RV parks in town too :) Thanks Mark - Mike

[@markmortensen4341]

[@gearheadted5110]

That JD Gater is one versatile tool. Kudos to you, Mike. I could not imagine a more responsible, practical, compassionate rancher (and your little ranch hands too). Good job everyone.

[@gingerlynneffect]

Sad, but good video, Mike. Sorry for your losses this past week. We lost our 15 1/2 year old Golden Shepherd two weeks ago so this made me cry, again. The ranch roundup sounds like a great idea.

[@ProfessorKitchen]

Hey, look!! A big dummy!!! (There's a mannequin in the background, too.) Just kidding! Sounds like a super stressful week. Glad y'all got through it OK. The meet-and-greet (or should that be meat-and-greet??) sounds like a load of fun.

[@OurWyomingLife]

hahaha, Meat and Greet, sounds awesome! It should be ! Thanks - Mike

We used to have a big black angus bull that we called "George". He was as gentle as ever. We could lay down on his back or stand on his back with no problem. He was always my favourite bull.

Thank you for being so diligent about the fence line when you moved the bulls. Having experienced what its like to hit a stray bull on a highway, I know it's not a fun time for both the driver or rancher.

I love the way Mike connects with the animals. He treats them more like pets. He takes excellent care of them.

Look up Dr Temple Grandin, she is amazing with working animals. we used some of her techniques at the farm and it made animal handling incredibly more efficient. I really would like to make it to your event, if your even looking for a volunteer to help I would be interested. Thanks so much for sharing Mike, Erin.

Name him Jasper! We had a steer named Jasper and I just think it fits pretty well lol. Sorry for your losses, I admit I teared up when I heard Adie (Aidie?) was gone. It's never easy.

This was a tough one to watch Mike, I never knew how attached I was to my animals until one of my goats passed away it didnt help that he was my favorite goat but I sat there and cried like a baby you would have thought I lost one of my children, but my kids are all grown up now and I have a small barn with a couple of ponies a couple of pigs and the goats for my grandkids to learn about animals and I enjoy there company there all great pets but they are a lot of work for me because I am in a wheelchair and cleaning stalls takes on a whole new meaning these days I really appreciate you sharing your ranch with us and one day I would like to visit when you have another family day there

[@patrickcrawford707]

Love this channel. I am a second gen Oklahoma rancher, and i feel you show what ranching really is without glamorizing. For me mostly hard physical and mental work, lots of aggravation, and a thousand year to do list with low take home pay. But, we must love every minute, or dont know any better. When i figure it out ill let you know. Keep up the awesome vids cowboy.

[@catlockhart6965]

Sorry for the tough week ! Life holds many bad and good things but we must go on. Condolences to Erin's mom on the loss of her beloved cow. The new alpha bull looks like a Freddie to me. Looking forward to some of that snow here in eastern NE. as winter is my favorite time of the seasons.

Hey Mike , Not such a good week but never mind things can only get better right ? Aww no fair about the meet and greet LOL.😀 Oh well we will just have to be content with the live stream. I thought I would Thankyou about the reply you sent to me on my partners Bevans account . I had my note book in being fixed after having the sockst repaired . You said you were so glad to hear what I had wrote about my acceptance of ranching being a vegetarian and having so much negativity from other vegans ect . Thanks to you and watching how you care and have respect for your herd and the bond that you have with them you had opened my mind . So that was me under Bevan Mudges name . All the best 😊

Great video Mike. I'm a vet over 90% disabled. Your videos have given me inspiration and helped me and my wife find a direction for our life.

Love watching your videos. I grew up and live in Austin Texas into a city family. I’m now 19 years old and starting college. As weird as it seems to my family I’ve always wanted to be a rancher. I’m hoping that I can one day have a ranch after making enough money to start one. The goal is by 40 years old. Pretty late start and a long way to go, but gotta start planning.

A little tip for you when the animals start to go to the other end of the pasture. Chase them that way a little harder and they will soon turn and want to go the right way. It has always worked for us.
