Steers Head to Freezer Camp - 30 in 30 #6

[@doubleglfarms9750]

Hello Mike and Erin and family! We are in the thick of calving now and don’t know how you take care of the cows and calves plus video and edit EVERY DAY!! We also KZbin and find it difficult to go to school, work on the farm, and video and edit once sometimes twice a week! Can’t imagine EVERYDAY! Blessings to you! We know it’s a sacrifice! You have to LOVE what you do!

[@OurWyomingLife]

It's definitely a busy time of year! Hope you have a good calving season!

[@BurkeDevlin66]

watching the steers walk the green mile is bittersweet

Can’t say enough good stuff about TOUGH FORD TRUCKS! We’ve been saying freezer camp for years down here. Kinda the same lingo as “barn words” which to my grand nephews are words you can say around the barn with dad but you don’t say them in front of mom. Take care of the throat, Mike. Sip on som warm tomato soup, it helps cut the crud. Another great video. Thanks for sharing! Hey Matt!

[@suebrown3917]

It gives you a better understanding of what it take to raise these animals for food. Knowing they had a good life on the farm and taken care of during their time on the farm.

Ya mean that our steaks didn’t start out in a white tray from Walmart?? Tongue-firmly-in-cheek

[@ashruz_3095]

@@Mikes5785 you’re obnoxious. You know that isn’t what she meant. She meant the actual details of how it all happens.

[@suebrown3917]

Yes, they didn't come on a white tray. They were treated kindly.

[@787Earl]

freezer camp is so much better then meat processer, thank you

[@anne-marieolka6540]

Bambi will have her calf on the absolute worst possible weather day you can have. Glad you made it to Sturgis. You are filling the stomachs of many families with your program. It's nice to know someone who is providing High Quality meat to the familied of our country. Thank you for rising to the challenge.

[@irenegeorgemessinger1671]

I think Bambie will have her calf on the 9th of April, which is our 55th wedding anniversary so that would make a wonderful present on that day. Love visiting all the cows & calves every day with you

[@annbean4117]

We all love you from the UK x

[@august3777]

So sad to see the A-Team go. There is something so gentle about a steer. They are amazing.

[@beverlygiroux2824]

I just really enjoy your interaction with your cows....Its a sight for us to love!!! Thanks for being a farmer!!!! Bev in Maine.

[@kimmarquez4424]

Love that lil white face his so cute

[@randallkerns2127]

Yeah boy now that what’s I’m talking about!!!!! Bring back the FORD is the best, and on the 30/30!!!!! Just the best video MIke!!!!!!!

[@jojos4x458]

Well, that F350 was like seeing an old friend. I thought you were going to say you bought it back from Gary. Glad he had it available to lend you. Sorry to hear the other truck has an issue.

[@SIGINT007]

Going old school with the F350...nice to see it back. Seeing all that dirt blowing looks like the start of the Dust Bowl 2.0 - especially if it doesn't rain soon.

[@richardrubert9698]

Thanks for sharing. I’m still impressed that you get everything done and do the videos.

[@brandonsmith7523]

The old ranch truck lives!

"Everyone needs a Gary". Mike, are you still listing things to do on the Project List?

I love the Little White Face Calf..

[@bolynn9668]

Never apologize for “short” vids…farmers grace the world by taking time in very busy days to show us where food comes from.

[@kklundberg]

We had some beef jerky the other day and our 26 year old daughter said to me, "they must have gone to freezer camp." Love each of your attitude and continuing to learn about ranching in my birth state of Wyoming. Your channel is so balanced and absolutely a lot of fun to view and learn!

[@ellisritz7654]

Those steers loaded so easy, nice to see you got some moisture.

[@dawnmitchell6368]

Good video Mike. Can’t wait to see tomorrow’s video. Stay warm and healthy

[@sheilasantiago3715]

Boy you'd better pump in the hot tea, the hot salt gargling and most definitely the honey. Especially with the cold windy weather. Hope you feel better soon.

[@HeritageFarmsTexas]

Good looking steers. Anxious to hear the hanging weights on those. Incredible working pens. I’m jealous.

[@jillstearns1452]

Stay Safe and trusting the calves born in the bad weather will survive with no complications. Thank you for the 30 in 30 and the sacrrifice you make to put out the videos. Take care of your health and trust your voice holds out and you don't get really sick. Thank you again Mike and Erin.

[@JP-bv7bf]

A real mixed blessing with the snow coming, you really need the moisture but so hard durning Calving season. Praying you get the snow you need and all the calves are born strong and healthy. Take care of yourselves. Blessings

[@НаталяПельц-л4ы]

Nice video. Good job. You are very hardworking people.

[@jenniferlynch3693]

I’m vegan I love watching family farmers I can tell by all the videos that you take good care of ur cattle

[@joesephburgio3438]

Life on the ranch!! Interesting, tons to do always. Don't know how you do Mike. Ten places at once. Always enjoy your vids!!

[@sunflowermarcia7277]

Hope your throat feels better. Hope you are safe in the storms.

[@alisonlightner866]

GOOD VIDEO MIKE, THANK YOU FOR TAKING US ALONG.

[@wykeishacraft6820]

Good evening to Our Wyoming Life. and all others too.. Great videos as always of discovering how you do out on your farm. Thanks for sharing and everyone have a bless day😄😄they are eating good on this cold snowy day. Thanks Mike

[@johncollins500]

In 1974,75, & 76 we lived in S. W. Wyoming in Green River along I-80. Know what kind of wind they have. All the time seems like. See semis on their sides quite a bit. Hopefully the weather coming in will help your water situation. Well until tomorrow have a great day

[@CowGirlKat8691]

We'd like to have blown away today here in town! I'm sure it wasn't any more fun out in the countryside! Felt like it was going to blow our house apart last night-early morning... Hope the livestock faired well through it

[@traceyhacking7109]

Bambi is waiting till she see's you drive off tonight!!

[@tcrasey]

“Freezer Camp!” I love those words! No matter how bad the weather the work the work just has to go on! Take care of yourself, your voice sounds a raspy! You don’t need to get sick!

[@deblarsen8528]

The 30 in 30 is going GREAT! I hope you get plenty of moisture, but NOT THE WIND! Usually when the barometer drops, the babies drop. I hope the cows stay close to the barn when they decide to give birth. Mike and Matt you looked good in Gilbert's "old" truck! Stay safe, healthy and happy guys. Mike, you may want to get that throat of yours checked out! (Gargle with warm salt water every couple hours)

[@DaytonaRider1]

Love the Ranch truck… tried and true.

[@TonyAllen2AT]

Insane was that drought shot showing the wind across the desert you call a pasture. 😱 Unbelievable! 😞

[@noahsizemore1275]

Those steers look good. Glad to hear that you are getting some H2o. Maybe you will get hay this year so you can save some cash

[@rogerw2231]

Mike today is a perfect example. If I'm there I could of taken the steers to the processor and you stay on the ranch check cows and take care of your throat. I love to work hard, drove OTR for many years. Plus I already have the shirts. Hope you feel better and you get many inches of rain. Be safe.

[@jefflee5047]

Only 4 steers shipped to Sturgis? What happened to the 5th steer in that group?

[@Dan-qy1rg]

That was real nice of your neighbor to let you use Gilbert's former ranch work truck. The steers look great, looks like Matt was giving them the feed to get a good beefy flank. Well Mike, it looks like 184 has a full utter and teats, any day now for her. Loved the video and the interaction with the cows and calves. Thanks for sharing, have a great night and I'll see you tomorrow.

[@HillsideHighlands]

So glad to see the f350 back in service!

[@jeremeysmith5661]

Dont be sorry family first. You have great content

[@ruthgallagher1168]

Of course they would be born on one of the most windy days of the year

[@kimmarquez4424]

Thank u for letting me know that meat will b ok to ship to Georgia...

The cows are going to wait for the blizzard to have their calves. #everyoneneedsaGary

[@margephillips5951]

Hello Mike, Erin and family Hope your throat gets to feeling better. Those baby calf's are so cute. Hang on to your hat when the wind hits, it finally calmed down in Colorado.

[@rosalieyazzie4488]

Ranch truck looks good, almost looks like my late brother's ranch truck. What a day all are being accountable calves, good kids, they look adorable. Have fun at the school.😀😀

[@austinpatterson1352]

Love your channel and you are great people

[@teresamason3930]

That’s so sad for me. I think those steers smelled death in that place and didn’t want to go. Every time I watch that I cry real tears 😭. I know they’re giving back to us, and I love steak but I just cannot help crying on those videos! Thank you for all you guys do and thank you for treating those animals so well.!

[@Pam_T.]

Thank you Mike!

[@spiegs9645]

Another great video Mike. Bad weather always makes calving difficult. I know you are ready. Just push thru like we did in NE SD during this time of the year. Glad that your family is there to support you. & yes that includes Matt !! 👍

[@patriciabeyer7824]

Hi all. My goodness the winds are strong!! It's no fun working out in that. Stay warm. 🙏🙏☝️👍❤️🙌

I must have spoken to soon, with the Calving and Storms 😱. Off to Camp we go🙌. Sorry your voice is blown , not so good for 30n30. Thanks for doing 👊. JO JO IN VT 💕😄

[@susans9617]

I trust you guys were able to clarify how you wanted the cuts/ steaks to be, so as to not repeat the last order's issues, lol. Hi Matt! Mike, we hope your throat feels better soon.

Send some of that cool weather over here... Clear, sunny and 91 degrees today in Perris, Calif.

Thanks Mike n Erin! We got our pork order today and gonna have a great breakfast this weekend. full

It's Bitter Sweet Matt ! Unfortunately as a kid we named our Favorite Cow on my Uncles ranch. " Blackie" As Uncle Bernard put it. "was good eats" Your not human if you don't have feelings for an animal you rake care of for weeks, months ! Kids are more important you never need to apologize for no vidio or short vidio !

Bambi will calf in April, just in case you didn't hear her. Stay safe thru this next week of crazy weather. Take care of yourself Mike. Getting ready to order my first order of jerky.

[@ernestdougherty3162]

I thought I heard Bambi say that I thought I was mistaken but you're right she said it should have her baby in April😊😊

[@mllee2008]

I concur... Bambi CLEARLY said April 😃

[@rhondamitchell5892]

We had our share of high winds here in Tennessee, I'm sure yours will be worse with being on calf watch and snow .be safe .

Guess I'm a city girl. Freezer camp leaves me with mixed feelings. Weather looks promising for moisture. Fingers crossed.

[@denisemmunger9437]

Another amazing day on the ranch !!!! Glad you got to drive the old Ford and that you got the steers to Sturgis before bad weather. Usually whatever weather is out your way ends up towards Central New York. May you get some of the moisture that you really need. Another awesome video and amazing sky. Thank you Our Wyoming Life !!!!

JUST SUPER 👍 NOTHING LESS,,, PLEASE BE SAFE AND HEALTHY,,, WELL DONE 👍

[@stev6brownfield894]

Mike it's been quite awhile Sence I've had a chance to watch your vids. Sence Rita sold her cows while ago. I've been working alot. And so have you guys. I was wondering how you the ranch survived. But you did manage, I'm glad even though my time is so short of the freedom to watch anytime. Take your time and thanks again, Erin I'll be praying for your tunnels I know the wind can be so brutal...keep happy and warm until then iedeeosoo(I don't speak Spanish, but it's fun) your friend from Boise..Steven Brownfield

[@debmyatt108]

Hope you feel better soon!

[@deedeemorinskey5477]

Stay safe Mike and family

[@Jburns4620]

Matt, that feeling will never go away, some regret coupled with the understanding of how the process works. #1 rule, don't name them! This is my 3rd calving season with OWL. The first one, Blonde Cow didn't calve, 2nd one she had a bull calf and now, she is no longer on the ranch. She is missed.

[@angelastottlemire9637]

Hopefully your throat feels better soon! Sounds like lots of things are gonna get started soon so that will be exciting to see how all that comes along.

[@billsouth3923]

Another good video Mike I hope you're okay you guys take care of her up there God bless you all tell Matt we said hi from New Mexico

[@amyalexander8993]

Im loving the immediate posting of the videos, but know it would be almost impossible to keep it up past the month of April.

[@bettyrickert7272]

Oh I’m so sorry your not feeling so good and you have to keep going no matter what. Saying prayers for a quick recovery. I love you all. ❤️😮❤️❤️❤️❤️Granny B

[@robinwhitlatch4497]

# everyone needs a Gary. Is nice to have neighbors who help one another when needed. Could you set up a few pens in the back of the cow barn for cows and new calves during the storm to keep them dry, warmer and out of the high wind? Glad the processor was able to take the steers before the storm arrives. Hope you get more needed moisture and the expected high wind doesn’t blow the snow and structures to the next state. Hopefully the cows will wait to calve until the worst of it is done but seems some always calve in the most difficult extreme weather conditions there is and at night. Western WA. had high wind, heavy rain and wide spread power outages Saturday evening through Monday. No fun feeding 3 times a day in it for sure.

[@dianewiley8005]

Checking on cows was always my favorite part growing up on the ranch. We had lots of rain not snow. Coastal southern Oregon.
