How about Winchester since it’s a 22.

[@oranjmusemeyer968]

Nice!

[@maryschultze624]

I love that name for him & his number fits... to cute

[@ronandersen531]

I was thinking Caliber......22 Caliber.

[@maureembjork6511]

Ruger. Any of those 22 names

[@jmburns470]

Name the calf "Gilbert in memory of Gilbert, he would be so proud of you Mike for your great love of the ranch

[@donnaparrish7638]

Oooh then one day they would be eating it.

[@triciaadamson2285]

How about Black Jack for the bottle calf. 75 lb, healthy boy with a good appetite that's just awesome. You always go above & beyond for your animals❤👍 Take Care and God Bless.

[@beverlysaxon1565]

Name for bottle calf could be Goober, the Southern name for peanut, since he and Peanut are brothers.

[@nikkolettguyer4913]

I like that one

[@lynettehillery8231]

Never knew that meant peanut!!

[@cherylcampbell7495]

Midnight..adorable calf. Your poor back. Wish your gator was fixed. I watch Sandi in Canada with a sheep farm and watch lambs then come here to watch calves. Life doesn’t get any better💕💕

[@miriambertram2448]

Sandi in Canada is amazing. I love my farm channels from those that have hundreds of thousands of subs to that have 20,000. Those are the ones I've been watching for the last couple of years and I never thought I would watch somebody put a big bud tractor back together LOL

Me too. Sandy is amazing and so are Mike and his family. Love this channel.

My 3 sons say the bottle calf should be named either Jackson (their favorite town in Wyoming) or Casper (where I was born)!

[@markhoffman5719]

16:30. I keep saying McKenzie is going to be running the ranch down the road.

I agree...she is one smart lil rancher already.. 🐄👍🐄

Ohh, the family drama in the barn!! You are doing a great job, Mike! Your kids are really wonderful!

How about "Coal" for the bottle baby? Yes I am a subscriber.

[@justmin858]

Oh I like that name 👍

[@slamboy66]

#22 " Double Deuce "

[@susandodd1816]

I would either name the calf deuces or Gilbert. Your father in law is smiling down on you for running the ranch so well. Good job Mike and Erin. Beautiful family.

"Catch 22!" :)

[@ser3589]

Time to do some parenting! That made me laugh out loud. Love that.

[@RuthJones-iz1ve]

Your children are adorable. I enjoy seeing them so much. Good looking bottle baby. Poor moma, that’s looks so angry. Calves look wonderful, and moms look content. Great video as always.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks so much

[@pennyronyson1158]

Tonka seems like a good name...he has to go through some tough stuff... ~~~waving~~~ from Ontario, Canada...I watch you every day! :)

I did some house sitting yesterday and I subscribed to your channel for him because I know he will thank me for it when he returns.

[@patriciabeyer7824]

Hello. I would like to suggest Toby. Oh dear Momma cow. 😥 I hope he does well. The calves are sweet. Yay, he is drinking right away. You are so gentle with the animals. 🙌🙌🙌🙏☝️ Be blessed.

#22 is a beautiful bottle calf. I thought she was sold last year so sorry she slipped through the the crack again. Hasn’t she done that 3 times now. 1st again, unbelievable. I like the name Midnight.

[@MrsZen1]

I like Midnight too

[@teresanewlands6056]

Gilbert would be a great name in recognition of the man who gave you all this great knowledge

Lincoln, 🤠you were so cool on the 4-wheeler! Big lil' rancher, you got yourself another 🐮calf.

I feel bad for #22. Mastitis hurts! I hope she feels better soon.

[@brendafaithlanelane7914]

He is precious. I think Jackson is a nice name.

[@larrymoore6640]

Number 18 didn't want to leave because you and your family was its Mom as far as it was concerned. I was amazed how the cow knew #18 was its calf.

[@billvarnet487]

How about Licorice Video was great looking forward to the next one Should be a snowy one

[@OurWyomingLife]

It will be.. Warming up now

[@dianelamore7539]

I vote for Gilbert. Greetings from Vermont.

[@MissouriCrookedBarnHomestead]

My Uncle had a cow with giant mastitis like that cow and the remedy for her was a mix of antibiotics and milking her out repeatedly over several weeks. The cow was out of his beef cattle and had never been milked before. He had a milking station that had tie downs on all 4 corners. A little more hassle but helped the cow and she got to keep her calf. He also kept a nurse cow (Guernsey) that would take any orphaned calf. He had up to 4 calves on her at any given time. The rest of the time she was the family milk cow. He had her for over 30 years.

[@purplebunny7728]

Number 22 is not the only one that needs a nap. This 30 n 30 is wonderful. We love you take care of yourself. B

[@markclaypole1573]

I like the name “Deuces” for #22.

[@mikehamilton3833]

Name #22 , Buddy. I know someone has previously suggested Buddy, I agree.

[@argerinejordan4703]

Awww, that calf is so adorable☺☺☺❤❤❤

[@alwayslate1000]

Call the calf 'Steamboat' after the bucking horse on Wyoming's license plates.

[@noremac510]

Hello! I liked the previously suggested name of "Bullet" for little #22. I'm enjoying the 30 in 30 immensely. Thanks.

[@joycejaschke2700]

Tommy

[@Sewtired]

They know bad weather is coming! I think the calf should be called Buddy.

[@cheftiny1127]

Charlie! He got the golden ticket .

[@mikegropp3649]

That's a bummer. That's one of the best looking calves so far this year. Loving the 30 in 30 this year. The videos are really polished and a little less run and gun. Can't wait for the live stream.

[@ojjenkins7110]

Call 22 Buddy as you called him that earlier in this video :-)

[@mikelockhart9114]

Name him Wilber and get him a clever spider before the fair. The 30 in 30 is a great idea especially during calving time. Keep up the good work. Hope your Gator gets well soon, maybe the local JD dealer can help and get some good exposure on your channel since your such a loyal John Deere customer. I’m to far away to offer to help fix yours.

[@stev6brownfield894]

Way to go Mike! I enjoy this issue, kids care crew meets bottle fed calf. How about "copper top", I drive trk 022 and its copper in color. That's my vote. Way to go Lincoln your herds build you kids are so lucky! Give cocobean a pet for me it's been a really long day, and why I changed phone companys. It's really chill to watch your family grow. Someday I'll viste . I dintvgetbup around your neck of the woods often, but I will,...Steveb, Boise,ID

[@williamblack5837]

It’s so cool to give the kids some ownership

[@debrahchristensen9528]

Nice looking calf! Looks like he had the proper welcome from the welcoming committee! Congrats to Lincoln on the birth of his calf - how fun! Could name him BC.

[@lorrieruff4402]

Or LC short for Lincoln's calf.

[@nathanfeibelman4194]

Seems like "Catch 22" would be appropriate. It's always something.

[@Melodie007]

Hello from The BarBQue capital of Texas, Lockhart. Love your videos! Winchester is a super name for baby 22.

[@deblawson1575]

It's REALLY GOOD to see you spend time talking to your children and spending that one on one time with them. It really does make good adults when Dads spend time with their children. God Bless

Nicky, after Nicole Larson from Larson Farm KZbin fame. Nicole is suffering from cancer and needs a lift up. Let's name this bottle calf after her to encourage her in her fight against this disease. Pray for Nicole, please.

There is a book and movie called catch-22. named the calf "Catch".

[@lidsman2221]

Could you put the new bull on the Bambi since she lost her baby?

[@debbieschmidt9316]

That's what I was wondering too! I wonder how long after they "deliver" are they still viable for nursing?

[@cherylcovey9105]

Good question, will Bambi be able to take him or is her milk dried up now.

[@lynnday8502]

My thoughts exactly! I wonder why you don't just keep his mama. She gives you a terrific calf each year.

[@carleyranch9984]

You can’t Bambi won’t have any milk because she lost her unborn calf

[@curtisowens4588]

I like Tag-a-long for the calf name. Such a cute calf.

I remember her last year..that looks so miserable..poor mom..😕

She had missed the “truck” for two years. Having an udder like that is life threatening and extremely painful.

[@kenrogers1994]

@@robynmorris2408 you are right she needs to go on the truck now or the same mistake will be made again, she will be out in the pasture the bulls will be let loose she gets pregnant, she hangs around , pd+, stays around calves again next year.

[@BlueW0lf68]

Thanks to work and a now 3 day migraine I'm late at viewing this vlog. For what it's worth my immediate thought for a name was Double Deuces, DD for short, or as others have said Deuces. In fact, one of your other subscribers also vlogs and signs off with "Deuces" at the end of every vlog. It all seems so perfect and fitting.

[@kayareya7696]

He looks like a “Crush”. We named one of our steers that name.

[@ednorton678]

Ralph is a good name

[@sandramapstone5601]

I agree, Deuces is a great name.

[@billsouth3923]

that why you keep a couple of jersey cows to claves a month or so ahead of beef cows just in case you need to froster a calf we do it all the time also the milk is great to drink

Brutus is a solid name for a solid calf

[@karenfeger6051]

Oh you pushed baby 18 out of the barn, I wanted to cry. Looks like she wanted to stay so bad.

[@andrealuvshouse]

I like Double Deuce. Coffee Bean would be another good name, since he’s growing right alongside Cocoa Bean, you may need a lot of coffee for those 5 am bottle feedings, and he’s the color of coffee.

[@rshoemaker7368]

Always fun having a bottle calf as long as there aren’t to many. I like the name Toby, it just popped in my mind. Thank you Mike for bringing us along on 30/30.

[@bromarkfarms]

We at Bromark farms voted among ourselves and come to a name......"Shamgar." Because of the shape our country is in.

The last calf I bottle fed the replacer I was feeding him was 80 bucks for 25 lbs, I looked everywhere for a 50 lb bag and not one feed store carries it lol he costed a lot more than what we got out of him. But it was a great experience and I learned a lot from raising him. My family is a line of ranchers but they lived in north Texas so I didn’t get to learn from them about bottle feeding babies as I live in south Texas lol Love you videos! God bless y’all
