So glad to see that Bambi and Blonde cow are both pregnant.

[@Xehxna]

Im so glad your message is at the top ♡ i relieved my anxiety.

[@felizshaw192]

Mine also I was really worried about blond cow

[@miriambertram2448]

I snuck through the comments early to see this, thanks.

[@coreyshelman]

Blonde cow saved by the bull

[@jeanneshannon5607]

Mike, my oldest cow is almost 19 years old. She is our Nanny. She is in flat ground and happy with a scoop of grain, loving, and the fact she is still here. She has a Lead Steer that adores her. 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@OurWyomingLife]

Amazing, thank you!

[@BillTheTractorMan]

Sometimes a good cow is worth her weight in... well feed or something. They keep the heard sane and following the routine.

[@susans9617]

So, we all just had a collective sigh of relief for Blond Cow . . .

[@cathymacdonald1789]

It’s a noisy day and a busy one on the ranch today. I love the way you talk to all the animals on the ranch, you treat them well and not just as a commodity . Thank you for that. All the best or this winter. Way to go Bambi and Blonde cow, you make me so proud.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thank you Cathy!

First time I've watched in a while due to just being busy, but man that new CORRAL SYSTEM IS SWEET!!

[@dianer.9461]

Hi, Mike. That looked like a pretty smooth process. Really showed off the good design of the Arrowquip set up. So happy for Blonde cow and Bambi.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks 👍

[@rogerfuhr8067]

That is one sweet operating system. We bought a tub, squeeze chute, and panels 40 years ago and still using them. They would bring today, what we paid for them. At the time, Dad said the system was cheaper than the cost of one of us breaking a leg. Big labor saver and great safety factor for you. Sell the opens and replace with what you can afford. The way you feed, mineral and feed, they shouldn’t be many open, but drought could be a factor.

[@ratspitt]

Over on the Channel Just A Few Acres Farm, Pete did a video called Tax Credits for small farms. the reason i mention this is in the video he briefly talk about a government program the paid him for disaster relief witch was a drought and i'm assuming just like you it caused his hay crop to fail because it is his only crop just like yours. anyways just thought i would share that info just incase you didnt know about this program, but you probably do. This Chanel got me watching all kinds of farm channels btw Thanks alot pal!

[@BethGrantDeRoos]

The cow at the 12:56 mark trying to get out of the pen reminds me of the reaction of someone being told they will be getting a colonoscopy where everyone can watch. We would have bought Bambi and Blondie and kept them as pets ( yes we are sappy)

[@coraclements4562]

The Arrow Euip really made this look easier this year, not a lot of stress on the cows.

[@richardarini227]

This was a great segment. Glad your favorite cows are pregnant. Arrowquip system worked great. Congratulations.

[@rhonamallard6918]

Aussies produced a good product there in Arrowquip

[@robkent6321]

You lucked out with the weather that day! Sunny and calm.....we usually have half a blizzard when we go to preg check. Haha.

[@deblawson1575]

CONGRATS🎈🎆🎀🎉On all the pregnant cows but especially Bambi and Blond cow.

[@baltazargreen3995]

We bought a Bambi coffee mug. Bambi must stay

[@OurWyomingLife]

haha, good point! Thanks

[@rshoemaker7368]

What a relief that our favorites are pregnant 🍾🥂 The three of you must be so tired!!💪 Loved watching the ArrowQuip work out so well.

[@bigcliffadventures]

Oh tell everyone there today did a great job and I see just how hard your wife works too. Mike as allways God bless y'all

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks, you too!

[@johnnycampbell5234]

Awesome video, Congrats on all the calvess, I’m glad Bambi and Blonde Cow are both pregnant this year

[@sandracorless6186]

Hey Mike, Congratulations you're going to be a uncle lol. Bambi and Blond cows are going to be mommies. Do you know why more cows are not pregnant just curious. Wow Peanut has gotten big so whats next for OWL keep up the good work and see you in the next video🤔🐄🍼😉

[@keepinitcountry4401]

You and Erin both deserve a few adult beverages after all that Mike - CHEERS!! 🍻🤠👍

[@OurWyomingLife]

agreed!

[@HotBazzinga]

You can tell the trust you have built with the cows because they move so slow when you push them. They are not moving out of fear :)

[@CC-xk6cp]

Hi again MIKE A busy noisy day! Thank goodness for the System. Makes your life so much easier especially since you do all that shuffling by yourself. Yay for babies coming from the two ranch stars! Stay safe and healthy!!!

[@jamieg.1392]

12 cows all with headaches. Thank you for the outstanding content in every upload. Stay blessed!!💖💖💖💖💖

[@debt4717]

LOL!!! You just won the internet!

[@justamom863]

Awesome to see two women working together to get the preg checks done

[@fredboiton7893]

Mike you looked like a proud soon to be grandpa 😁 I know its always a relief when a (pet) cow comes up loaded. You won't need to do that business decision.

[@cmoreson4281]

Good news on the ranch. You need to have a cold one after the hard work you and Erin did today.

[@ez1913]

The Arrowquip really is an amazing tool. Thanks for sharing, Mike.

[@ojjenkins7110]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE. Mine was Sunday and a friend of mine is today also.

[@walterperrault]

I just stumbled on to your channel and watched a few videos and I have to say I have a newfound respect for farmers. thank you so much

[@wildbill5126]

Mike you and Erin are troopers for sure, Them black stubborn ladies have attitude. Appreciate you folks sharing. Love the ArrowQuip system sure works well for you all.

[@JoshBaker118]

Watched 46 seconds and can already tell its gonna be a good one

[@jesusdavila4792]

Buddy I'm only started up down in south Texas I've got plenty of help from my dad and his old school ranch hand buddies but it's nice to see what I have to look forward to. And those corrals are great

[@AngiesPantry58]

I love that you keep it real Mike. You didn't edit out when you feel.. It's not funny, But it was funny.. Awesome set up you have there.. Have a awesome weekend.. Big hugs from our home to yours.

[@jheidecker6247]

Afternoon mike have a great night and rest of the week

[@triciaadamson2285]

Way to go Bambi & Blonde cow that great. I must say that arrowquip system makes your lives so much easier. The way you treat all of your animals is just heartwarming you have compassion. Thanks for taking us along with you what a great turn out for your ranch. Take Care & God BLess

[@bethfoster6591]

Great job guys! Thanks for showing us how it’s done; that Arrow equipment really made it easier and smoother.🥳

[@fullmoonflockstock6929]

I used to make fun of my buddy using the rattle stick for working the cows, I was taught with a cow cane. But I use it all the time for working our pigs and lamb on our farm. So handy.

[@viviangrantz2572]

Y’all did good with the new corral system

[@agirlandhercows501]

not a bad preg check at all we did 2.9% this year one of our best ever

[@SnowManson]

Seems like a great Vet, not the easiest part of her job. Arrowquip seemed to work great too.

[@jmprvrhntcmp]

Right on!!! Awesome!!! Let the work begin! Congrats! 👍🎉

[@robertvertacnik9989]

How could you ever send Bambi off to the processer? She's like a giant ,friendly dog.

[@sailingsolar]

They cost money to feed every day. A ranch is a business that makes money.

[@travismanley4448]

@George Friesen by listening to you.of course.

[@alegriadelsol4862]

Funny blooper in the middle Mike!

[@mikegropp3649]

Oh I can't wait for the 30 in 30. Might take the day off for the 24hr live stream. Thank you Mike and Erin for top notch content. Extremely informative as well as entertaining.

[@carolutley6523]

Thanks guys! Would love to see a video of the beekeeper harvesting the boxes 🐝

[@michaelsailors7794]

That is a great setup yall have. Glad to see you have good numbers on pregnancy. Good cattle is a must. Our markets are rough here in Georgia also. Hopefully they will rise soon. Great video and I enjoy seeing others work cattle similar to the way I do with trying to keep them as calm as possible. God bless and stay safe out there

[@davidkelley5740]

You are so lucky to have Erin to help she good hand !

[@marydrewel5973]

I've gotten to watch so many of these videos, and this next season I will be praying for you and No losses. During the mean time..

[@marthavalentine7569]

Corral system is awesome.

[@wykeishacraft6820]

First , Hi Mike i love watching Our Wyoming Life

[@alwaysinblue]

Woohoo! Break out the champagne!! Bonde cow and Bambi are prego. "Celebration, yeah, come on"...

[@sergiodeleon3551]

Out here ranchin just like you in The great plains of Texas

[@justinsimmons2715]

100+ by noon, id say that corral system is pretty dang nice!

[@Jlind9335]

I do live that way. thru you. So happy about Bambi and blonde cow. Did a happy dance for them.

[@mikejohnson1073]

Great job and Great Aeroquip. Could you let everyone know how many heifers you might be able to keep until they can produce?

[@saydylan5]

It would be cool to be there in person to learn more about ranches for education purposes. I would pay money to learn how to start up a ranch and see what it takes to do so haha 😄 awesome channel 👏

[@josephinesmith6854]

Peanut is such a Big boy. Hugs and kisses

[@dobberaaron6658]

That's good Bambi stays that big black and white cow she's big looks like that aeroquip did good

[@dhansonranch]

That handling system sure works slick for doing the preg checking with just the two of you - a valuable asset. I get having to sell the 12 off, but wondering with everything going on if it would be an idea to put them in for a short time with a bull for fall calves next year...we have a few ranchers up here that have spring and fall calves as it works well for cash flow and handling....just thinking these 12 might, if they caught, work for the farm store flow and for cash flow. Just a thought. Good job!

[@wykeishacraft6820]

Peanut has grown up and got bigger .

[@alegriadelsol4862]

Wow Mike! Amazing video footage! Can’t believe you can film in the middle of moving tons of cows! Great job. 👌

[@leighcowley9869]

What about replacement heifers. When I ran cattle I usually kept about 25%

[@janefranzen7051]

Love the equipment and about 40 years ago, preg testing was done by inserting your gloved hand/arm into the rectum, pat in the direction of the uterus to see if it will kind of bounce back, then “bounce” it a few times to estimate the age of the fetus. Bet the cows like today’s method much better.

[@shaunroberts9361]

You should have told everybody why those cows are balling so bad is because there away from there calfs... Man no Wrecks. That was very smooth

[@carrieschirado8967]

Awesome! Love watching the mommas come in. Yay for Bambi and Blonde Cow!

[@Paladun100]

that arrowquip makes slick as snot

[@Saratogan]

It occurs to me that in the same manner as your annual preg check, Could improve your annual calf yield above 90% by AI'ing all the cows at the end of April. Just bring them all through the squeeze shoot and give them all AI and then you would be sure that the deed was done and they would all calve around the same time 9.25 months later. Just a thought.

[@AcesUpOffroad]

AI does not always stick

[@pakviroti3616]

I think I am in love with the vet!

[@CindyKinney]

This is so interesting and so much work. That handling system is like a huge maze! Thanks for taking the time to video this for us when it's obviously a very busy morning. Take good care on the farm and stay well.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jlgriess1986]

Glad you guys had decent preg check results! Looks like the ArrowQuip works really well! 🤩

[@slamboy66]

I remember in grade school we use to moo in the lunch line. The lunch monitors were not amused .

[@edjrsingleton5921]

This city Boy was entertained 🤣

[@calebjones8691]

I remember when bambi was a little calf

[@teraexafusion745]

Fantastic News 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@williamyokel0515]

You should do a video on selling (or whatever you are doing with) your open cows.

[@bmaiceman]

Man I wish I was in better Phisicle shape... Your life seems a lot more gratifying . and a lot more interesting I'm very envious.

[@theavandenberg6876]

Happy two of the biggest stars on the ranch are pregnant again.

[@cherylcampbell7495]

Cattle look good and healthy. You all work so hard. Great system set up.

[@Irene-ke6to]

I love your videos! Thanks!

[@carolynmalkowski3654]

Hello Mike G lad all is going well can't wait to see baby calf.s love from New jersey

[@happygardener28]

9:32 any door is a cat magnet and once a cat knows that a door opens they will refuse to stay out.

[@wykeishacraft6820]

Bambi going to be a mom

[@garyag45]

Caught just first part of title and thought “ERIN” 😁 Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

[@lesliestout886]

Howdy from west Texas! Good video!

[@randyclay2225]

Thanks for the video

[@sherryturner8729]

Those girls deserved some “cake” after that ordeal. LOL!

[@ronniepate4315]

You guys made it look easy . I know it's not , but it's a great system .

[@fbajohn3108]

Quick question as I am learning. What does it cost roughly for the vet to do a preg check? Is it per hour or per cow? Also that Arrowquip is an amazing system! Glad you were able to get that for the ranch. Great investment. Thank you for continuous step by step as I watch and learn what it takes to have a ranch style life.

[@Melodie007]

Great video! Hi from Texas!

[@josephriddle8634]

I like the herding chicken, what breed is she? lol

[@Marshall_Weber]

Awesome Video Mike and Much Love as Always!!!

[@loisblais3431]

Awesome corral system! Great when it all comes together the way it should with no worries. Good investment,

[@OurWyomingLife]

We agree! Thanks!

[@coraclements4562]

yes!!!!!! Blonde cow is with a calf!!! now she is caring her own weight for the ranch!!!

[@kwilliamson1096]

Best Reveal party I've ever been to.

[@theresemaylone642]

Congratulations to blonde cow and Bambi

[@ernestdougherty3162]

Good job

[@lukedog7028]

90% bred and 2 to 3 % death loss per year was my average. Get 400 or so for a cull and have to pay 1200+ per head for replacements. Never get ahead system.

[@pumptruckjim]

Hi Mike and Erin. Looks like a busy day but at least no snow or blowing weather. Just wondering how many of you would it take to do that with the old corral system. have a great day.

[@tcrasey]

Nice System, did I see Errin taking the ear tags off?

[@OurWyomingLife]

Yes. Cows that aren’t pregnant lose their ear tags.

[@cherylcovey9105]

Thank you Mike for being good to your cows, I love how you talk to them! You and Erin deserve a hot shower and some drinks! Yeah to Bambi and Blonde cow!!! ❤️🇨🇦
