That was nice of the person to take ownership for the fire. Take care.

[@deanm375]

Disasters are a part of life. How you react and deal with troubles measures the type of man you are. From what I can see you are up to the challenge. Anyone who can run an entire farming operation single handedly the way you and your wife do tells me you are cut from tough stock. God bless you are your family.

[@TheKittyGrim]

Broke my heart to hear about the fire. So glad everything is going to work out. Love your fence!

[@cindyswanson4323]

I am so sorry to see this and my heart goes out to you. As a former farmer I know how devastating this is and it is very heartbreaking. You’re right, you would never want a home or a human life or loose animals. For every negative there is a positive. We just have to mentally put ourselves in that mode to look for. God Bless you and your family. God will watch over you and your family

[@jackmargason2594]

Feel pretty safe in saying we are all pulling for you Tyler. Glad you had an honest man take responsibility for the loss.

[@philstocks7859]

So very sorry for your loss of the hay. Thank God the responsible party for the fire stood tall. That doesn't often happen these days. That's a really nice section of fence you built. I'm sure your grandad is proud. Know you are in my prayers and I hope the rest of your year goes much better.

[@joannespence4741]

So sorry to see and hear this news. Your hours of work and prep. But there will be a bright side. My first thought is all the nutrients the soil will get from the fire. Every year on the Canadian prairies the farmer rotate which pastures get the fire treatment. Your next crop may just surprise you how beautiful it will be. Lovely fence too. Hang in there, your Great Grandmother has very wise words.

[@johnking8679]

AMEN, brother !! As a new viewer of Tyler's Ranch activities, I am really enjoying what I see !! A young family man who's not afraid of hard work and to see his skills is amazing. He certainly knows how to weld and I wish him God's blessings for the future !!

[@calvinbeard243]

Your loss made me feel so sad for you. However, your qualities of outstanding character traits you display will see you through this. You are a inspiration to me. Thank you.

[@rawa5457]

With us they say: "what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger". Bows to the Lady of the House and Meci. Take Care and God Bless Your Farm.

[@rachelpotter2247]

Hang in there Tyler. So sorry about the hay and fire. Hopefully we can get you a little help. You deserve it more than anyone.

[@Wolfpug]

So heartbreaking to lose so much hay. Am glad the person responsible will reimburse you!

[@kathleendana]

So sorry Tyler. Praying for you for peace. May Gods bless you in abundance for the loss. Thank God no one was injured.

[@robynmorris7945]

OMG Tyler, what a terrible disaster with the fire. Thankful that the hay will be replaced but we can’t “fix” the emotional damage, nor the extra work this causes for the winter feeding. On the bright side, maybe you will learn something from feeding the round bales that will be even better than your original plan. Your fence looks fantastic…but…welding in that heat must have been so very uncomfortable…no matter how early you started!! The cattle are looking great and I did not see a swarm of flies on their backs. Praying for a better week (that should be easy) and some emotional healing. Thank you for sharing the good, the bad, and the plain old ugly life of the one man farming show. It takes courage to live thru it let alone having to film and then watch it all over again as you edit. Thank you and by the way to the man upstairs…Tyler is pretty darn strong, he really doesn’t need anymore challenges to deal with!

[@graceannwimer-oggoian8695]

I respect that you keep it real. Losing that hay is a huge loss. Ranching is hard work. It is very rewarding and heartbreaking. Good luck.

[@redmapleleaf4617]

Your video intro is the BEST intro I've heard in a long time. It's not irritating and long like so many are.

[@barbtries]

Sorry for the fire, but I'm really glad you will be made whole. Farmers are not only the hardest working people, they are the most resilient.

[@brandeissports3436]

I’m so sorry about your loss. But very happy you’re ok and your neighbors are ok. Thank God. Prayers up for you and your family.

[@jeffp47]

Sorry for your loss man , I know you are disappointed but you are a positive guy. God bless you and I will be praying for you!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@frenchbulldawg]

Grandma was wise. My dad used to say This too shall pass. Praying for strength for you and your family

[@kzoll3546]

Praise the Lord no one was hurt🙏 i’m so glad the responsible party came forward and are making amends. As my great grandmother used to say, “this too shall pass“.

[@susiebafford7921]

Your great Grandma was wise Tyler. Things are so much worse for so many people all over the world. I’m very sorry about your loss and certainly understand all the effort spent that went into it. You’re an awesome young man with an awesome family and setting a good example of what kind of people we are here in our country! Chin up! Your neighbor is also a good example of Americans.

[@shellymb]

I am so sorry for your loss. All the work hours that went into making that hay from working the land, growing, cutting, baling.... that's a kick in the gut. No matter if they replace your hay. It's a 2 year set back on your field...I feel for you and your family.

[@jamessparks8325]

Wow! So sorry. We absolutely never know. Wish you and your family the best.

[@PatricesProjects]

Oh my gosh. That broke my heart. So glad that the person responsible is planning to pay for the damage. Whew. The pigs look great. So does the new little tiny calf.

[@buckleyscooter]

From the sounds of it, you don't appreciate how lucky you are that someone took responsibility for the situation. Your Grandma was right.....things can always get worse especially when we fail to be grateful for our blessings. Some lessons have to be learned the hard way.

[@mikedkc]

Glad you were compensated for the loss. You’re a good man. Stay strong. Stay blessed.

[@194853DodgeTrucks]

Sorry my friend. Glad you're ok and nobody else was hurt. Some things we just can't control.... bumped up my support for you on patreon.

[@cherylgrimins2817]

So very sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine the extent of how this affects you but I appreciate you sharing the good and bad with us. I gives us even better appreciation for all you do and how hard you work. Glad no one was injured and prayers to you to get through this.

[@jennifershephard6638]

Tyler first your new fence is beautiful and I’m sure your grandfather is proud of you. When your daughter is your age she will look at that fence with eyes filled with pride. In her mind she will think my DADDY made this fence and she will smile. As far as the fire goes, I’m so very sorry this happened to you. I know you worked extremely hard to provide for your family and farm, but I’m ever so grateful that YOU were not hurt in this fire or the fire did not start when the hay was in your barn and took that as well. I’m very glad that someone is going to take care of your loss financially for the hay. I know that does not pay for your hard work but remember this! You will plant again and your hay will grow! Thankfully there is another day! God bless you. My prayers are with you.

[@virginiareid5336]

It’s wonderful that you will be reimbursed for your losses. However, the stress and emotions that came along with the contact about the fire, the fact you were asked to make the firebreak, and changing an entire winter’s plans is devastating. May God. Bless

[@mypreciouslittleguys]

Sorry to hear about the fire. You are in my prayers.

[@tonygough8713]

Sorry about your hay loss , I know as a retired fire fighter any fire damage to hay just ruins the whole bale.. keep your head up and God Bless , thanks for all your videos.

[@sandsock]

You are a good welder. We lost a combine to a fire 2 years ago. I know your Pain and hurt of not being able to feed your livestock. Due to shortage. Prayers of protection and blessings on you and your family

[@sandsock]

Start thinking ahead for cheap feed. We had to silage chop combined corn chaff. To be able to fill my cows bellies , with rotational grazing. Maybe you can get it round baled up or chopped. Instead of 150bu corn. We got 20 bu\ac, that year. I cried myself to slèep and ever time i fed animals. Not knowing how to go on. Maybe plant some oats or wheat and bale or graze that

[@cathy8070]

I just finished watching your 2020 wrap up. When you mentioned how many new subscribers your KZbin channel has received I had to laugh. As a new subscriber myself, and an urban city dweller, your channel has been a reprieve for me. It truly helped me get through my Covid experience. So thank you for putting so much positive energy out in the world. Your family’s efforts are truly appreciated.

[@jeanneshannon5607]

Neighbor, you are Golden to own up to this fire. Blessings to all

[@melindahaldeman982]

I just love the way you care for and about your animals🥰

[@johnking8679]

I know this fire was over a year ago, but it still made me sad. Losing what you did has gotta be tough !! I know how I would have reacted - devastated, no doubt !! Anyway, you seem to have come from pretty rough stock and if you're like me, hold on to your beliefs and pray that life will get better and trust in Him !! As a strong and devout Christian man, I had to leave my birthplace in Africa and emigrate to America as a family of four !! It wasn't easy and I thank God that He led us here !! Thank you and your family for the opportunity to share in your life through the wonders of KZbin and the Internet !! Have a great weekend, as we get ready to celebrate what Easter means to us Christians !!

[@thomassinnott9747]

I can empathise Tyler. Had a shocking bushfire run through back in 2017. Very hard to be positive, my thoughts were always that I lost pasture and hay, but no animals. So similar to yourself, but I am only a small farm. You’re spot on, hay can be replaced in tangible form, but the effort that goes into it can’t be underestimated. All the best

[@wykeishacraft6820]

My family was in a car accident on 6/21/2021 i pray they be ok. They all was hospital for 3 hours . Thank God.

[@maryholladay4678]

Glad the responsible part took ownership and is making it right for you!! You have to appreciate his/her responsibility. Be thankful it wasn’t your house or hay barn. You will perceiver and come out on the other side looking great!!

[@manleybrittain1296]

We love the pigs and the new calf! Tyler in life you always have to be prepared for the worst and of coarse we all hope for the best! I am so glad you will be reimbursed for the loss! Thank goodness no one was injured! The fence look great!

[@marcyjacobs238]

G. Grandma is right. Keep your chin up. Your doing a great job. At least your neighbor owned up and willing to pay for your loss. Must always have faith.

[@kentpedersen7692]

We have been dealing with fires all spring in North Dakota. We have been in an extreme drought and fires just burn like crazy. The good thing is nobody has been injured.

[@robynmorris7945]

Tyler, I got so wrapped up in the issues on the farm that I forgot to wish you a belated Happy Fathers Day!!! Hopefully you were able enjoy some part of the day and celebrate with your wife and daughter.

[@daspicsman]

Fence looks fantastic! When you get older you’ll look back and say that it wasn’t that bad. The day of and several to follow are hard to deal but these hardships prepare you for other hard times to come. And you’ll know that the next hardship is just part of life.

[@randybutler4772]

Hang in there. Things will be better as you see w/ your replacement coverage. Thank you for sharing.🐂🐂

[@CJLeTeff]

Thank goodness the person stepped up to compensate you for the lose!! Sorry to see all your work and time wasted Tyler.

[@pekinknollfarms9235]

Hate to hear about the fire....Sometimes it doesn't matter how hard you try or the amount of prep and work you put in something. Things happen that are out of our control and yes its devastating but as you mentioned yes it could always be worse. Hats off to the folks that are stepping up to make it right.. Sometimes we just have to put it behind us and move on. Oh by the way.. that is a good looking fence. Keep up the good work.

[@christinamoneyhan5688]

So , so, sorry to hear about your loss of hay. Like you said it can always be worse. Your love ones are safe.

[@patmcpherson4713]

So sorry to hear about your field fire and hay loss. I know you and yours will see this through and be the better for it.

[@aaronjohn6586]

Challenges never end, keep on keeping on brother.

[@SLCFarms]

Man o man what a loss. Sorry to see this sir.

[@joannthompson765]

Sorry for loss on hay glad person stood up.God will turn your tears into gladness.might take little while and that's the hard part

[@kristinreynolds577]

Tyler and Mrs FTR, I am so sorry about the hay field! It’s absolutely awful, but I’m so glad that the responsible person paid up! That doesn’t happen much anymore!! I’m betting my husband isn’t going to like you very much after this video though…I love love love your fence! It looks so good and I’d like one just like it!! 😊😊😊. Much love to you and your beautiful family! Kristin from Oklahoma 💕💕💕

[@farmertylerranch4399]

Haha thank you Kristin and sorry to your husband!

[@anneoreilly4900]

No harm in feeling the disappointment. A huge loss. TG you had moved some and that you have a stand up neighbor.

[@patt4599]

The fence looks perfect..You will keep keepin' on. God bless you.

[@gpeer]

Forgot to complement you on the beautiful pipe fence you created! You are a man of many talents. Nice job.

[@Chrisgalin]

I'm so sorry still brother. I barely came across your video today. That is horrible. My prayers go out to you and your family.

[@evieuretsky9997]

For the goat milk, its because of the lactose can be digested not like cows milk, I switched to goat milk since I bought my own little mini goats. The flavor is really good, its great for making cheese, its great for making soap(which I do) amongst a few other things that can be used for. Hope you have a fantastic day.

[@kristinreynolds577]

Do you mind me asking what breed of goats you got? We’re doing research into goats and are really curious what other people have! Thanks so much!!

[@evieuretsky9997]

@@kristinreynolds577 My herd is mostly Nigerian cross, 6 are half Nigerian/pygmy and the other 2 are half Nigerian/Alpine.

[@CurrentChoices]

milk and soap....news to me!

[@benhesterly462]

Iam really sorry for the problems you have had, but your grandmother was spot on about things could have been worse. Glad your neighbor stepped up and is reimbursing you.

[@wykeishacraft6820]

Hello to Farmer Tyler Ranch , and all others too. You will having plenty of meat soon maybe more pigs.thanks for sharing everyone stay safe.

[@jamesbrown3621]

So glad it was not worse than it was Tyler. It is just a small set back, at least you are recouping your money for all the damage and what you lost. That is god on their part. I hate you we’re not able to save all your round bails but you did save some. Hopefully next year will be better. But you are still blessed and will continue to be blessed. People are praying for you. Keep your head up and keep on moving on.

[@24bidy]

Tyler I am so sorry about the fire, It broke my hear.t Hugs for you and the family

[@barbcoleus]

Tyler you have your health and you are young. My mother said that and I never understood that until I got old. You will survive this.

[@dalethorp3687]

Very good job on the welding they ( the Welds ) look smooth from what you showed. How is the manure spreader coming along? Keep your faith Brother things will work out. Praying for you and the Family. It is not easy to let the public see the true feeling of frustration. Glad they stepped up. Have more fun painting.

[@lassie7777]

Hay is sky high this year if you can even find it in Ca. Sorry for your loss.

[@jencrucijada2]

Dang dude, that sucked majorly!! Great spirit you showed there!! Salt of the earth.

[@allysonh6410]

One of the first thing I do is hit the thumbs up after your videos. This one was hard to do lol gosh, Tyler and fam, I have no words. That is Awful. Cannot believe it spread like that. Why was it still in the field? I think you put those others in the barn awhile ago? Will you still plant there next year? Whatever you do we'll be here to watch and hopefully give. The piglets are adorable 🤩 keep your chin up. You will come back stronger for it. Saying a prayer for you. You've got this 🙌

[@suzisaintjames]

2:29 it still looks to me like you need two pans... They all don't all fit around the one. But you're the expert. 💖🌞🌵😷

[@annebell4112]

Tyler I feel gutted for you. They say everything happens for a reason. In this case, I don't know what the reason is but I'm confident that you'll come through this, stronger. I'm so pleased to hear that your neighbour has agreed to compensate the damage. Feisty looking piglets 😊😊 and the fence 👍👍👍👍. When you go home tonight give your beautiful family a big hug. 🚜🚜💟💟💙🚜🚜

[@lynneyork1371]

The fence looks awesome! Sorry about the fire. What is a concern is the drought. Hay is gonna be or already is in short supply and will be expensive. The burn should produce awesome hay next year. Hang in there.

[@laurelhoward5571]

WHAT A BLOW TO LOSE SO MUCH HAY. AND HOW LUCKY THE RESPONSIBLE PARTY IS OFFERING TO REIMBURSE... YOUR NEW FENCE IS AWESOME!!! KEEP UP THE WONDERFUL VIDEOS OF OUR FARM!!!! BEST OF LUCK TO YOU AND YOURS...!!

[@mikedaugharty5544]

so sorry!! have no comforting words !! praying for you!!

[@justicekreger3107]

A tough day. From watching your videos and those of other rancher farmers, you work on such a tight budget for the year that a set back like the fire can mean no profit for the entire year. I’m glad the party responsible for the fire stepped up. I hope he carries through with his word.

[@dyslexicsheeple931]

Fence looks sturdy. Sorry about the fire. Glad the fire was not intentional and you were properly paid. The cows don't care if the hay is squared or round baled as long as you feed them.

[@JC-uq5gi]

Unfortunately, he's not getting recouped for all the extra time and labor to feed squares. Big deal when he's working a regular job on top. Extra hour a day at least. That's about $12k/year at my hourly wage.

[@getagaylin1748]

So sorry this happened, but so glad you will be compensated. Bright side, your field will probably be awesome next year. This is like when Our Wyoming Life’s hay field got hail destroyed while they were haying in JULY! All I can say is thank God for farmers,you are the toughest people He made.

[@icontrolthevideo]

Thanks for sharing the good with the bad. Keeps it real.

[@acerhillfarm4245]

No matter how you do something, somebody always gonna troll and tell you how you oughta do it. Nobody knows your land and animals like you do. Keep up the hard work.

[@erictilley4095]

So sorry for your loss on the hay but there is a bright side to all of this...no one was hurt...and so glad you're going to be reimbursed for it ...I know after watching the videos of the hard work you put into it it makes me happy to hear you will survive the ordeal...good looking pigs you have ...I think after all this then can you find time to take a little time off even for just a day would be great...keep on trucking as they say Tyler ... BTW that's an awesome job you did on the fence or corral...idt those animals will get out .. looking forward to your next video and thanks for keeping us informed about the ranch..

[@garyb4929]

Some how missed this story, sorry to hear about hay, yes lot sweat equity & care is lost, But your right; no loss of life.

[@motor2of7]

For that exact reason, I mow when there’s still a little green in the grass. I feel for ya man.

[@nadeenflynn9673]

The new fence looks fantastic and will definitely be there for decades. So sorry about your hay loss. Reimbursement will help, but it doesn’t make up for all your effort. Such a sad ending for your first crop of rounds.

Don't dwell on it move through it I have great confidence you'll make it

[@inthejcurve7968]

Sometimes life puts brick walls in your path. Some you can go over. Some you can go around. Others you just have to push through. FTR you’ve got perseverance and grit by the quart in every vein.

[@tidelovinyankee1368]

I am so glad that the responsible party can through financially for you. That at least takes some of the sting away. I love your new fence. Ain't nothing knocking that fence down. I hope things run a little smoother for you in the future. You deserve a little good fortune.

[@DP-fg3dv]

Interesting difference in geography. Up here, we use oil field drill stem and sucker rod for fencing. However, because the ground freezes, deep, we do not weld the sucker rod to the posts but use a clip. This allows the rod to slide when posts move due to ground shifting. Otherwise, welds will break or rods will warp. Crazy extremes!

[@kimcwhite6509]

Oh Tyler, that is a disaster! Especially in this severe drought and low hay yields. Finding & buying quality hay is almost impossible and twice as expensive for those that don't understand. Your fence turned out so nice. Take care💙

[@tessahugo5448]

Oh I feel your pain, its a big loss. Stay strong South Africa

[@marciaolson4878]

So very sad to hear this Tyler! Praying for this to turn into something good! You have a great outlook on this and know we are all praying for you and your family! God bless, just keep looking up. Good news on the reimbursement.

[@deblawson1575]

Hey Tyler, just found you and subscribed. I have lost hay and feed also it's a sickening feeling. My thought and prayers are with you. God Bless PS: when one door is closed God opens a window😉
