as a fellow cattleman I just want to give you a shout out for the way you go about explaining things about how cattle work, it really helps knock out the myths that folks hear and think that are not true, keep up the excellent husbandry mike

[@todddonaldson8195]

I second that, as a cattleman from Canada.

[@spaceace1006]

You sure are a Good Farmer! You want your Animals to be Content and Healty! Sure! They're Food Animals but you try to give them a good life and some lovin!!" Your Kids are so fortunate to be growing up in that Farm Environment! As far as I'm concerned, Farmers are Heroes! It's a tough and often thankless job!

[@vickyburton2434]

Never apologize for a long video. We love them!

[@nicfrieler6684]

I don't think having long videos is bad, I could watch Your videos for hours because You're way more educational and informative than the shows on TV. Thank You for that.

[@messianichebrewshawnkawcak1550]

Mike, you could probably make 2 hour videos and people would still watch to the end. There’s a behind the scenes quality to these videos which is priceless. It’s nice Real life videos instead of dramatized stuff that gets put on TV. I’ll watch two hour long videos myself on either spiritual topics or towing videos.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks Shawn. Appreciate that. See ya tomorrow.

[@livingwithcancer1245]

Oh my gosh that poor calf looks so bad. Thank you for all you do Mike and having a heart enough and care enough to save the babies. You are an amazing rancher and human being.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thank you, and I appreciate that. Thanks for watching

[@desertviking]

This is real life, no Hollywood bull crap, no lies, nothing faked. Thank you Mike to you and your family for taking us along through your world. It is humbling and inspiring. God bless you guys!

[@rodneywroten2994]

I love the way you care for your stock Mike and everything at the ranch including your family. God is with you Sir

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thank you Rodney.

[@billpeters9154]

Take a special person to care for the calves like you do. I'm a grown man almost in tears rooting for #6.

[@RunningRlust96]

Never ever be sorry for sharing your life....I love vicariously live through u

[@rochellklegstad3600]

According to some of the comments, calf #6 has a name! Hope! 😀

[@goonggoongginga9954]

I thought the beginning of that black jelly bean thing was going to be a depressing political thing but it turned into a wholesome moment, and I have never been more disappointed to find out someone like black jelly beans but it's cool because like you said we both still like jelly beans

[@OurWyomingLife]

Hahahaha. Thank you very much

[@bobbyb322]

I prefer the Blacks ones as well

[@scottklein5884]

God bless you Mike you have a heart of gold

I love how these come out early afternoon in the UK. An important part of my lockdown routine. Thanks for your hard work Mike. Hard to do your job and run a daily blog too. Its much appreciated and a welcome distraction.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks and glad to provide some distraction. Stay safe and healthy.

Come on #6, we are all rooting for ya!! Get well soon!!

[@kashasulea9605]

I loved the fact that no one else in family liked the black jelly beans ...I got to get them all n I loved it ...I'm 80 now & have a hard time getting them from anywhere!!!

[@willothewispl]

Aww that precious baby. Thank you for being good to her. God Bless.

[@Ellenllee]

God bless you for the care and compassion that you show to your cows.You and your family truely appreciate all that they provide for you :).Thank you for the knowledge and positivity.Your videos are as informative as they are heart rendering and for that I am grateful :).

[@OurWyomingLife]

Appreciate that Ellen. Thanks for watching.

[@JUSTICEK]

@@OurWyomingLife I know it's far later but I can't find any updates on Number 6 and whether she pulled through? It didn't look good but I'm a forever optimist. Did she pull through and do you have a follow up video on her?

[@duaneconger2910]

I hope that your calf made it through the night you did all the right things for this animal "Nice Job"!! I really like the way that you present things around your ranch. Your channel "Is AWESOME "!!! I'll keep watching!!

[@alanclark6761]

Well done Mike, The compassion you have for your animals is evident. Here in Texas we have the opposite problem; we have to find ways to keep our calves cool when it gets too hot; they will react the same way - laying out, heavy breathing, not moving; they have trouble staying cool when they are young.

[@kellyrodriguez3300]

We have 5 bottle babies we rescued. We lost one and have one that I am praying so hard that can be saved. Thank you so much for your videos.

[@arikverab6287]

Hi I wanna let you know I’m a regular city guy from Connecticut and I love watching your videos I’m hooked lol god bless your farm and family

[@Augustus99100]

Good luck with the calf. You could always make a living as a calf whisperer

[@alisonlightner866]

Praying for baby 6, Hope she will recover. Happy Resurrection day/Easter.

[@sandracorless6186]

Hey Mike long or short your vogs are always good and I'm so glad that you found faith apparently her mom is a sneaky little heifer who likes to hide her I found it very touching you fussing over the sick calf like a father over a child you're a good man that shows compassion and empathy and that they're more than just animals their life a living and breathing thing and I see your part-time vet also lol I'm going to name number 6 Hope hoping she will get better and I'm sure she will because she got you on her side so with that being said what's next for our Wyoming life keep up the good work and see you in the next video 🤔😔🤠💉🍼🙏🐂😉

[@katiekent683]

Thanks Mike for showing that you can be compassionate as well as a businessman.

[@stevemccoy8138]

Hi Mike , Calving time is such a magical place. And a lot of Work. Good Luck. Thanks.

[@vickyburton2434]

I so love black licorice! 49% of the population loves them. Now I know Sam and I could come over and play cards and get along just fine!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for taking such loving care of the little heifer. That is part of good husbandry and treating your animals humanely. I hope your Easter was amazing. 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks Vicky, and Easter was a day to remember. Thank for tagging along.

[@46rambo49]

keep the faith, with WY allowing farm sales without inspections your market is going to be damn strong considering all the problems with processing plants going forward.

[@TheSnakeman3]

Great care for the calf. If yesterdays video was long, I didn't even notice. Thanks Mike.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thats high praise Robert Black1911. Thank you, and see ya tomorrow.

[@skyking228]

Love the 30 in 30 vlogs. Fun for the viewers but probably leaving you exhausted. Thank you for all your hard work 😊

[@dougkruse1301]

My great grandfather Tosten Springen homesteaded south of Gillette at a place he named Hilight. I have photos of him and his wife Carrie standing in front of the Hilight Wyo post office. He was the postmaster. He and all of his kids had homesteads in the Hilight area. I have many photos pre 1914 of Gillette, and I still receive a oil check once a month from all the effort and work of my grand parents. Gillette is a special place to me and I stop at the Gillette cemetery every time I visit Gillette to pay respects to my family.

[@mcd5082]

Great job mike you have a heart of gold

[@9856CB]

Great job and care for your herd, Mike

[@meganzizzamia2993]

It's really amazing how mom seemed to just know you were there to help. Or maybe she had already resigned her calf as "a loss" but either way she didnt seem worried at all about you taking her calf. I hope little #6 pulls through :( (typing this mid episode)

[@brandeissports3436]

Wishing the little one a speedy recovey!

[@stephangiroux1435]

It's very nice to see to amount of compassion and care you give your live stock. Hope all ends well good luck

I glad you found that little girl she may not of made it in the cold much longer. I have been enjoying the 30 in 30 and for me this shows me what the ranch is rely like. I know it only started as a test but enjoy coming home to see what happened the day before. The round up at the end of the week is great and maybe that day you can skip the vlog and just make it 6 days. Give you a break, LOL . Take care and stay safe back in NJ this virus is not over yet.

[@charlotte6623]

These extra vlogs you've been doing have been great and the reason you started this was so kind. Whatever you need to do, take care of you too. I mean with added stresses of covid 19, social distancing, regular ranch business, kids aren't just home but needing impromptu home schooling and spring planting coming up AND you do this in the middle of calving season!!! Dude! 💪⚾⚾ of STEEL!!! TAKE CARE OF YOU, MIKE, and thank you!

[@robertmalis4493]

I hope you had a wonderful and happy Easter Mike can’t wait to see how the little calf is doing tomorrow I personally don’t mind the long videos know it’s a lot of hard work for you but I for one appreciate it have a blessed day

[@katnew4408]

Wow you truly make every hard earned dollar, so busy and so cold! Thanks for choosing that way of life to feed all of us, greatly appreciated Mike!

[@juliealbert9222]

Mike, thank you for answering my question regarding letting the moms out of the pen before they calve. Your answer does make sense. I hope #6 pulls thru. Judging by the care you're giving her she stands the best chance.

[@jamesgilmore2534]

Enjoying these videos. Keep up the good work.

[@johnsobaski3478]

Had this on in the background until Mike's voice changed and he went into medic mode. The care and compassion you show for the animal's and your family is second to none and is truly from the heart. Hope you and your family had a great Easter. May God continue to bless your family. P. S. No need to apologize for the length of the video. Black jellybeans and licorice are the way to go. :)

[@robert5109]

We have given weak calves Banamine 1cc to 2cc orally , my they come around fast and want to eat and seem to improve quickly.Must help relieve pain and discomfort. If they have infection I am sure you still need to treat. I am not a vet but that has worked for us several times. Good luck Mike

[@krisloughley3332]

We have been enjoying your vlogs and videos sooooooo much! Love your narration, your great sense of humor, and all the info you give. You have brightened our days! I grew up with beef cows/steers...just a few at a time, and love seeing them in the videos.

[@darlene72086]

My Dad always said when the cows are laying down the fish are biting and we always ended up fishing LOL

[@osbornwais5257]

I love how you take care your animals...

[@creativengineering]

God bless you for caring so much for the babies that wouldn't survive without your help. I grew up on a farm and I know how fragile calves are at birth and being born out of doors in below freezing temperatures amasses me! We had a box stall in the dairy barn for birthing 55 degrees. We had Milk fever and cow couldn't get up after birth, doesn't beef cows get milk fever?

[@44unda]

I don't have much of a life and watch A LOT of KZbin and this channel is very good. I would put this channel in my top 3. Mike is a huge part why I like it but I really like everything tbh

Again THANK YOU for your hard work for caring all these animals! I will be purchasing some beef from you soon!

Julie, the calf was placed into a warmer not an oven. The calf warmer isnt really much different than the equipment found in a hosptial nursery.
