Please don't fall. The entire storyline can change with a fall. Thanks for sharing, Mike.

[@OurWyomingLife]

I will do my best EZ, and I dont wanna change the storyline!

[@melissacurtin7192]

There are so many people who have no clue where our food comes from or the commitment and hard work that is involved. Thank you for sharing a small part of your everyday commitment Mike. It’s always nice to see Bambi too 😊

[@garbo8962]

While at a large supermarket today I checked orange juice from what country orange juice concentrate comes from. First time that I saw concentrate from dirty corrupt mexico. Nope not today! Another scum bag orange juice uses Florida something in its it name but made from concentrate from 3 counties.After Mike telling us how our scum bag politicians allow a cow or steer born, raised & slaughtered in dirty third world mexico to be labeled product of USA as long as its packaged here. Now only purchase meat from a local German owned supermarket that labels country of origin. I would rather eat dog food made in safe clean USA then any meat from dirty mexico. Our government tells people that there is NO WHERE SAFE to drink water in mexico.

[@earldenio4921]

You mean number 1 disease fuel don't you mean

[@OurWyomingLife]

Your correct Melissa, and I hope we are able to educate people so they have better understanding of where and how their food originates. Have a good week.

[@joanneganon7157]

Howdy Mike , not sure what day this is posted, I think im late again! Monday Dentist appointment and Bed🥴. I'm so glad the Cows are loving seeing you coming! You and Jeff worked so hard on their hay , I'm glad they love it🎉. We have had and " or so of snow but it's not staying😢. There is a Lake affect storm coming into Up State NY , im hoping that it finds its way next door to us!. JO JO IN VT 💞

[@peachtree7721]

#2 is a warm weather fuel and #1 is a cold weather fuel

[@georgedavidson1221]

Nice machine. Good luck

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks

[@garbo8962]

Was taught to always wipe the zerk fitting before attaching grease gun. Dirt on fitting might get into grease line. Then wipe off excess grease after removing grease gun.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thats always a good idea Garbo.

[@timhardy4174]

Nothing up HERE in MN, just lower Temps. 11 degrees right now. Sun Bathing weather!

[@deblarsen8528]

Minnesota here too! 8° and I am ready for spring!! No snow at our house and that's o.k. with me! They can use those snow making machines at the ski resorts!! ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️

[@OurWyomingLife]

Stay warm Tim.

[@lindahollister5530]

That really does a nice job.

[@genewileyopa]

So enjoy riding along with you as you work. Cattle looking good. Yes they like that hay, happy as could be. Have a good evening. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Gene.

[@wykeishacraft6820]

Thanks for sharing a cold snowy video i see it cold as a whistle😊😊everyone stay safe see you next time on Our Wyoming Life ❤❤❤❤

[@OurWyomingLife]

Have a good week Wykeisha.

[@nezlquasie]

The beeping sound is how sexy tractors whistle 😗at their drivers😉! From a 'she'😆

[@californiadreamer2580]

Oh no. That beeping in the tractor would drive me insane!

[@OurWyomingLife]

LOL Yes, it will do that after time.

[@lmcintire-brooks475]

I love watching all the high tech farm equipment in operation. And love seeing the cows with big mouthfuls of hay.

[@OurWyomingLife]

I agree with ya about seeing Cows with mouths full of Hay.

[@billmonroe8826]

straight No. 2 diesel will jell up on you during the winter. You might want to get a winter blend before it really gets cold. 🙂

[@cspjkd]

Thanks for sharing! Great video!

[@leo99991]

Beautiful place.

[@mags102755]

I saw you and Jeff harvest that hay and it's great to see the cows and the heifers chowing down.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Its a real good feeling Mags.

[@barbarajgosselin6797]

Thank you for hanging out w/ all of us w/ your beautiful toy! Lol😊😊❤❤❤❤

[@barbaraberrier8840]

Well hopefully the beeping doesn't go to a straight long beep, the tractor heart will have died.😂 Thanks for sharing this video. My hands got cold watching you walking around with no gloves. Have a great evening.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks for watching Barbara.

[@jbweld6193]

Im still amazed how well that hustler pays down the bales. Almost cathartic to watch!

[@dwighthires3163]

Thank you for taking us along.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Our pleasure!

Mike I know I say this alot but really like how you teach as you go😊

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks for the compliment Meg.

[@marilynrichardson340]

Nice video Mike!

[@justanotherfarmer7091]

Mike, just wanted to correct you on diesel just in case there’s people that don’t know. But straight #2 diesel is summer fuel, #1 is winter fuel although we get by with a 50/50 mix most of the time without gelling.

[@eddeetz493]

I look forward to the arrival of my first OWL box of meat. Thank you for the many hours of entertainment and hard work. Its great to see the consumer direct sales end the packer monopoly. One day youll be buying feeders. Good luck with a wet spring and record crop yields.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks for your order Ed. Enjoy!

[@BobBroeking]

Appreciate all of the talking you have to do in each video

[@user-dr7xw5tc5f]

Mike thank you for sharing this with us. Love seeing how happy your cows are when you feed them Hay. Was thinking of you this morning it’s cold here but not like Wyoming. We’re having crazy weather one day it’s cold next day it’s in the 70s. But I’m breathing so I’m happy to be alive. Your videos always make my day. Thank you.

[@BillTheTractorMan]

Oh No!!! I have been wondering where the 6420 was! the 6420 was like blonde cow to me, another main character!

[@austinpatterson1352]

Thanks for sharing our wyoming life I hope you have a great week and I hope you had a great Thanksgiving

[@BeckyCreger-vs5ce]

That thing is so awesome in unrolling the bales of hay. We only had square bales when we were farming. They were so heavy carrying them to the feeding lot and the 3 milking cows we had

[@imceltic52]

Beautiful bales of hay, I bet it feels really good that you have those that you got from your land to feed your animals, really awesome

[@OurWyomingLife]

It really is a good feeling having Hay from here on the Ranch, and not having to buy it! Thanks for watching.

[@user-ny6sm9jp3n]

That cherp is the seat belt

[@chanwittwer4925]

It may be cold, but at least you made it almost to December before you had to feed hay😊

[@OurWyomingLife]

That's true! We hope to prolong feeding as long as possible to conserve our Hay supply. Thanks for watching.

[@franciscosandiego3026]

Always stay warm and safe brother from the imperial county California 👍👍🇺🇲 and great video 📸

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks, will do Francisco. Have a good week.

[@rebekahwells3737]

Awesome video! So interesting watching how feeding is done. Those cows are lucky to be on your farm!

[@christinestephenson1742]

Mike, thanks for showing us the process of feeding the cattle. That machine works great! Farmers like you are heros to the rest of the population, you raise the food they eat! You are certainly a hero to me!

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thank you Christine. I appreciate your thoughts.

I hat d carrying 5 gallon buckets of water to the chickens. I think when we were about 9 years old, I think we spilled more water in our jeans before we got to the chicken coup.

[@ronaldschmidt4748]

Like the hustler bale spreader. That is pretty easy way to feed the cattle. Thanks for the video. Take Care and Be safe on the Ranch.

[@OurWyomingLife]

I like the Hustler too! It sure does make handling bales much easier. Have a good week Ronald.

[@southwestiowacattlefeeding6720]

You can put some black tape over that beeper and it will muffle the sound some.

[@xlxyetixlx]

The beeping in your tractor almost sounds like the tractor either thinks the door is open or your seat belt isn't buckled...from what i seen it only beeps when it's in a drive gear...i don't know if those tractors have door latch or seat belt sensors but maybe this helps you out.

[@randycharest4507]

TOTALLY ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO MIKE 😊

[@OurWyomingLife]

Glad ya liked it Randy.

I'm sure the flashlight is for greasing in hard to see places even in the daylight. Play little nooks and crannies

[@schmidthappensranch6415]

are you sure that isn't #1 diesel for winter use...

[@kathyk479]

Lets guess what the chirping sound could be!? I think someone thought the tractor was a washing machine and put the close in and now its stuck on tumble wash!?

[@OurWyomingLife]

LOL

[@debhart2996]

We all need to start with a full tank. lol

[@robertreznik9330]

In Texas we have #1 diesel added in winter. #2 can jell in 0 degree weather. Many years we get down to negative 10

[@OurWyomingLife]

Only -10? LOL that is still cold!

Watch it be a seatbelt alarm... 😂

Mike the beeping sounds like a heart monitor at the hospital,glad you’re alive and well,at least in the John Deere

[@OurWyomingLife]

LOL I didnt equate the chirping sound with a heart monitor.

[@BeckyCreger-vs5ce]

Our largest tractor growing up was a Masey 90.

[@BeckyCreger-vs5ce]

People really don't realize how long it takes to do all of the chores on a farm. Without farmers, there wouldn't be food to purchase in the stores.

[@justonekissgoodnight]

Hope they get the noise fixed for you.. that would drive me crazy.. having to listen to that everyday…

[@deblarsen8528]

Hey Mike, Thank You for another great video! We always learn something new and we are entertained at the same time! Until your next video ~~~ Stay safe, healthy, warm and happy! 🐄🐃🐂❤❄️. P.S. that noise your JD is making sounds like an alarm of some kind. It is kinda annoying though!

[@lisabrasee2323]

The heifers look so fuzzy. They got their winter coats on. I just want to scratch behind their ears! Have a great week OWL! Stay safe and stay warm!

[@OurWyomingLife]

A few of them would be happy to have their ears scratched Lisa.

[@lostincyberspaceIII]

Dewalt and Milwaukee are both really good brands. I like to watch project farm youtube and his testing of equipment. Dewalt is consistently a good performer and has a very large range. Milwaukee is about the same, maybe a little better on average, but their tool variety is a decent amount smaller. That why I have gone Dewalt, keeping it all in the same family for everything basically.

This is cool! I loved watching your little short video on facebook and when you were doing it during this video... glad to see Bambi again! that's a pretty cool tractor/feeder except for the constant beeping... is it possible to mute it from time to time? thanks Mike!

[@joanoflondon]

Great video Mike. The fancier the equipment or appliances they go down more often than those that are less techie. I paid to replace my old stove door window, all the elements, wiring and fuses instead of buying a newer glass top electronic thin walled stove. It’s 30yrs old and doing well. Self cleaning still works too lol. Gas here in northern Ontario Canada was $1.45 a litre. Yikes. Diesel was more. I don’t know how farmers can keep up with the price increases. Have you thought of disconnecting and reconnecting your tractor battery to reset your tractor factory setting? That beeping would make me crazy . Time to wear some grippers on your boots. Stay safe. See you on the next video.

[@pamelacrowell2007]

We quit using green and yellow equipment years ago. Sale price high, trade in low and service lousy. ⁹ Lots of other options available at better price and better service in Missouri farm country.

[@gerhardbraatz6305]

Do they get supplements for what the hay is lacking during winter?

[@OurWyomingLife]

Yes, they are supplemented with cake.

[@stevedrew5425]

I think all the feed comes out of the same mixer

[@frankeycrawford]

Was he ghost riding the tracker at 23:06 😅😊

[@leannekenyoung]

Omg! I hope John Deere fixed that chirping noise because just listening to it during your video was enough to drive me bonkers!!!! I’d absolutely HATE to work with that constant noise!!! I’d definitely be wearing noise cancelling headphones but I suspect they wouldn’t kill the sound!! Ridiculous that they have that sound in a piece of their equipment!!! 🥰❤️🇨🇦🙏🏻🍁

Well, that time of the year for you, using the Hustler Feeder, I like it. We don't feed as wide or as many bales as you do, but we do feed a bale a day most years, but due to the drought in our area we have to ration the first few months. We use range cubes a little more and try to use a less protein cube to fill there needs. All good stuff there Mike. Thanks for sharing, have a good evening and week!
