The Animals on the Ranch

[@dianaseligman7261]

I want to say that you are a wonderful guide and I love watching your Channel. I have watched the birth of a calf alone with the death of one also. I hope no one says anything negative about your ranch, because you work extremely hard and are very caring to your animals. So, thank you, for sharing your wonderful Wyoming life and I look forward to watching more! Have a great day!! 6:44 pm.

[@jamedstate5542]

Mick I like what you said about Cows, I'm a 82 year old and a Ohio 50's Farm Boy, I let everyone know I love Cows. Every words you said are very true. A Farm is a great/best place to raise kids. I do get a great feeling when I see a farmers Daughter also dedicate herself to the Farm, a Family Farm has always been what America is all about.

[@carmenmendez6836]

I truly love this video the most, love ur history, the ranching and ur dedication to ur ranch and animals! Thank you for sharing ur life and adventures! 🙏❤️👍

[@oshkoshdom2197]

Thank you very much! -Mike

[@marylouise890]

This is a very good channel. I am gonna love watching it. 👍🌸👍 There is a typo in the Intro.

[@tortaboy]

Your radio broadcaster voice is so cool.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thank you :)

[@jamesrose1974]

He's right. You've got a great voice, but I'd go one further and say that you'd make a great TV host.

[@johnkoopman1433]

Looks to me like you've got a lot of mouths to feed...thanks for the chance to meet them all.

[@margiebooker8306]

We had Beulah and she was very bow legged. She followed me everywhere. I miss our farm.

[@brycerobertson2339]

The binge watch was so real with yall!!

[@OurWyomingLife]

awesome...glad you liked

[@rf396]

Its great that you have all those wonderful animals to share life with. My wife and I are planning on retiring to Wyoming in several years and were now looking for property. We will be bringing all our rescue animals with us as well. they number about 30 currently. Cant wait to be in Wyoming! Love this channel !!!

[@kellyrobinson3136]

Look how nice, neat, and organized you two have everything. Where's the video on how you do that, plus have 3 kids?

[@vmcr]

I'm loving the videos. They take me to a place I would love to be

[@OurWyomingLife]

Hi Victor, thanks for watching, its our pleasure.

[@tommyetaylor]

My grandparents on both side had ranch. One in Oklahoma, the other in Kansas. I love the feeling cows can give You. We each got a cow each year, but never saw them go to market. Love watching your tube shows. It take me back to my youth. Thank you

[@almaritagaleone8130]

[@goham2558]

So awesome you have a college calf fund!

[@candicechristensen1753]

Hahaha 😅 awesome video 👌 you should add some sheep. I have one Dexter cow and she eventually decided she loves the sheep and I catch her licking them from time to time 😂

[@kristenlane9389]

I loved meeting all of the stars!!!

[@courtneyroboto6749]

Ok so I didn't hear that wrong bahaha

[@AndersonCattleCo]

I love the vid We are calving right now , it's Sunday morning the wife and kids have gone to church and I am with the cows doing chores and watching for new calves that might need to get warmed up. I wouldn't have it any other way and the cows don't say thank you but I know that they appreciate me some of the time , at least when I feed them. lol

[@OurWyomingLife]

haha Always with the food!

[@johntrussell7808]

To think I'm just now finding this channel. Thank you so much for sharing your lives with us. Would love to come visit

[@frankirwin2377]

A good dairy stock cow gives good milk and cream. It was always good having plenty of milk when we growing up. With milk you'll have cream, which we made our own butter. Milking was another chore that we had on the ranch, but it was worth it.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Hello Frank. One of Erins plans is to eventually get a milk cow, probably when the kids are a bit older and we have a little more time on our hands. Thanks for watching- Mike

[@TheScreamers9]

I am learning stuff I never knew, thankyou for your videos.

[@alane6555]

Great videos, well put together, informative and they move along well. We will start watching more of your videos. Which broadcast company did you work for? I worked for Jacor and then Clear Channel for about five years, but that was about 20 years ago. Jacor was a neat company to work for, not too big but just right and it had some very interesting people. The big broadcasters were too busy chasing the dollar to be fun so it was time to move on for us as well.

[@JakeKurtz]

My new favorite! Animals are a winner.

[@OurWyomingLife]

That they are! Thanks

[@elitebowman5386]

Now I see why you have the gift of gab. lol. Coming from a Broadcasting job. I thought it came awfully easy for you to commentate your daily chores. I have watched a few of your episodes over the cast of the Winter. Love to eat beef, I just couldn't raise it. lol. They are so cute. I am a hunter too, but the older I get, the harder it gets. haha. Love the meat and live of it all Winter, so not stopping. Good luck this Spring, Calving Season is coming soon now.

[@zach_hewitt]

Great channel. Just heard about you & subscribed right away.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Awesome. Thank you. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hear about us? -Mike

[@ronaldlogan1088]

No wonder you video`s are easy to understand an very clear keep up the good work love them

[@ernestdougherty3162]

I'm new to your channels I want to stop by and introduce myself my name is Ernest I currently live in Florida but I grew up in New Mexico when I was a kid in the late 50s and into the 60s dad was a cowhand for my grandfather on my mother's side they were cattle people had been and most of them still are and believe me I remember growing up with all them cows living out in the country we only made it to town about once a month sometimes twiced we were homeschooled I have one brother and five sisters when we were old enough for you chat on or horse to ride we had a one room brick House with kitchen out the side door they were separate no electricity not until towards the endwhen my dad had enough and we packed up and moved to Floridabut in my young teenage years me and my brother started to get bored and we lived out by cape Kennedy away from town at 20 acres 5 acres right in the center there was cleared with a house with lots of open land so we talked to my dad in the building us a barn and getting us some chickens and it all started from there we started out with 300 chickens play my brother phantom took care of them until they started laying and then we sold the eggs and then we sold chickens to pay my dad back for all the money it spent on purchasing the chickens the barn and the feed then after that me and my brother got to keep all the profit we bought everything from cows towing out of gator they're putting our local pond because we didn't have one and the ducks needed something to keep them out of the water I love you Channel it brings back a lot of memories can't wait to see more God bless stay safe

[@hermithag]

8-1-2019 just found your channel and subscribed. I've just started watching your vlogs.... any dogs on your ranch? Or why you don't?

[@cybrarian9]

I've worked with all the animals you've got on your farm and I have to say that the one you don't have, but is related to the Peacock are Guinea Fowl. And to be blunt, the sound of those things drives me nuts. Many people don't realize it, but Guinea Fowl can fly and I used to regularly see them up in the trees around the 4-H Camp Farm I grew up going to and working on. Chickens can fly, but not typically the domesticated kind. I'll take horses and cattle any day. They may be big, and can kick you and kill you, but I still like working with them. Pigs I can also live without. They are cute when little, but can be challenging when they get big. The boars I've worked with were nice, but you had to be careful. Sheep and Goats do make life interesting. Different sheep breeds are cute. Goats can be especially fun. Geese, well, it depends on the kind of geese as these fellows aren't always so friendly.

[@kathyk479]

Dragons are cool!, do you guys have trouble with cyoties? Or wolf's?

[@IndieOctopus]

My family are farmers in the Scottish Islands, and we have a cat with the same name as your quarter horse!

[@OurWyomingLife]

It's a great name but not as great as your username!

[@cherylshenkle6417]

I love your videos!! Have you ever considered letting chickens work on those cow patties? What about Rotational Grazing?

[@CarlosMunoz-yq2pz]

Best show ever thanks for make people happy

[@BPratto]

Goose egg art, that's a new one to me. Thanks.

[@sadie1333]

My cows just look at me and stare then look up weirdly at me that how we have s good connection

[@brendahyslop6770]

What NO DOGS! What is a ranch without a couple of good dogs!

[@OurWyomingLife]

We had a dog before we came to the ranch and she came with us. She's still here but she's getting old. We decided to not get any new dogs until she was gone because she arthritis and couldn't handle having another dog around. Thanks for watching -Mike

[@somenmukherjee7511]

This is heaven for me brother... I always look forward to watch your videos.. may be for few minutes your videos takes me off from this buzzing city life to the life i want. Sometimes i watch your videos repeatedly coz i really love the life you live. I have never commented on any video coz i could not express my feeling by a comment. But today i for the time i am writing a comment don't even know if you will read it or not. I am the biggest fan of your channel at leat i think that. Once you showed that this is not a very profitable business but you do it coz you love doing this. Trust me bro not everyone gets the chance to do what they love. I love ranching farming cattles all the animals i really appreciate what you do. Thanks bro for giving me at least a chance to escape from my real life and join you with your ranch and your way of life. I really feel like i am ar yhis ranch and kbow many things of yor ranch. With that said, why don't you get a shaprd dog? I really love dogs and not a kinnda cat pwrson thats why... take care and god bless you and your family always!!

Nice job Mike, we have a White peacock here in our Florida.

Thank you very much - Mike

0:48 A ranch without animals is like a computer without internet

[@raybornclark8617]

you need a good dog to share you days on the ranch with....my german shepherd loves to go out in the field and hang out with the cows and she really stepped up and helped to raise our orphaned bottle calf "Buster"

[@Andi.j.w]

My favorite yet!!

[@OurWyomingLife]

The animals are definitely the best part of the ranch!

[@MrJpm1989]

[@rodericku.9401]

I don't know a damn thing about farming even though I've lived in the hills of Tennessee my whole life. But these videos are great and I hope you all continue to make content and educate people like me.

[@OurWyomingLife]

We will keep making them if you keep watching them! Thank You!

[@TalonsWorld]

Your white cow is a British White Park they came from England during WW2. We have 140 head of them here in Iowa. Check out our new channel "Old McDonald Farm" its a newer channel but we do a lot with the cattle on there.

Awesome, thank you - Mike

12/24/19. Why did Bambi’s eartag change from 3 to 23 to 98? Also, you use red eartags every year to # the calves. Do you change the eartags when you brand them? Or when you decide to keep the heifers?

[@suemcfarlane4199]

Bam is mom probably had a second trike as it common after having one plus labour tend to raise the blood presurwhich an causestrokes

[@terrinadeau8965]

me too... i was thinkin, movies too!

Maybe county commissioner. After a few terms Mike could retire!

[@GainesMediaInc]

Great vid Mike.

[@christianseely9934]

How often do chickens lay eggs? Thanks for the great content.

[@OurWyomingLife]

A good chicken will lay about 2 eggs every 3 days. Thanks for watching - Mike

[@QuzieSuzieQ]

My dad raises heelers. He lives in Torrington. Next time he has puppies I can give you his info. Puppies are from working dogs and they aren't very expensive for being herding dogs from a good working lineage.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Feel free to let us know when he does. I appreciate it.

[@QuzieSuzieQ]

I will definitely do that! Someone is Casper just listed border collie pups for $300 which is not bad.

[@karbear26]

[@JirafaBo]

Upgrade that 20v circular saw to the newer 60v circular saw, you won't be dissappointed! Way more power, 7 1/4 blade, and it's not a lefty!

[@OurWyomingLife]

Its actually and 18v. All of my stuff is 18 cause I dont want to have to replace everything haha. I havent seen the 60v Dewalt circular saw yet tho. I'm gonna have to check it out. The only time I use mine is if I have only one or two boards to cut. That's about all the battery lasts for. Thanks for watching and thanks for the suggestion!

[@angelortiz8749]

Maybe one day im gonna have my ranch

[@kaycox5555]

So, as a city slicker who grew up in the middle of California - surrounded by farms and dairies, but having little contact with them...what's the difference between a cow and milk cow?

[@OurWyomingLife]

Milk cows are raised soley for milk production, and usually ran by dairy operations. We are a beef operation, our cows are raised to produce calves which are then sold to feedlots. Thanks for watching - Mike

[@kaycox5555]

Thanks!! Looks like you all live in God's country....

[@obamaNFTS]

How come you don't have any dogs? Love the videos by the way!

[@OurWyomingLife]

We have talked about getting a cow dog but they aren't like normal dogs, but they cost thousands of dollars trained. We have a pet dog, shes a yellow lab but shes not much help on the ranch haha

[@janetpoludniak1938]

Dr. Doolittle strikes again

[@mwmwmwmwmmdw]

do you use the cows for milk and then for meat once they get old?

[@OurWyomingLife]

All of our cows are beef cows, we dont milk any of them. The cows that we have are breeding stock, when they have calves, we raise their calves with their moms until they weigh about 500 lbs. Then they are sold at auction to people who raise them further.

[@mwmwmwmwmmdw]

very interesting i wasent aware thats how they might work. do you sell them to people who raised them to old age or are they sold to be processed into meat?

[@OurWyomingLife]

Lots go on to become meat. Some may be purchased by other ranchers to raise to old age.

[@46rambo49]

do you use the horses for any ranch work? i couldn't ranch without them

[@OurWyomingLife]

They get out and work occassionally, mostly when we are moving cows a longer distance. -Mike

[@user-qr8ki8ue4i]

My guess is they don't need them, and, being somewhat new to ranching, probably don't know their way around the back of a horse very well. Also looks like an extensive sorting/pen system, so no real need for horse and rope skills at cutting/branding time. :)

[@OurWyomingLife]

L. We ride our horses mostly for recreation. Thanks - Mike

[@user-qr8ki8ue4i]

Our Wyoming Life, makes sense. Quads work well. I do hope someday you get a couple of working cow ponies. Just because. I've only seen a couple of your vids. You're hardworking people!

Do you ride your horses?

[@nyeshiareid4212]

😍🥰😍

[@suemcfarlane4199]

Yyou obviously don’t catch and drink rain after off your roof like we do a lot in rural Australia because peacocks tend to like sitting on your roof doing what coms naturally if you get my meaning friend of mine got rid of her peacock for that very reason then her husband wanted squab because he likes eating pigeon an they rehydrates to find at your local butchers orsupermarket

[@christophersnowden4071]

What happened to the pigs ?

[@HRPoodersmith]

How do you monetize the cows and horses?

[@OurWyomingLife]

We sell our calves in the fall at an auction house. The horses are hay burners and are just for our enjoyment.

[@ayalamarine6528]

No ranch dogs?

[@EZ570]

Have you considered raising Buffalo?

[@OurWyomingLife]

We haven't really looked into it, there is a buffalo ranch about 30 miles from us and the infrastructure needed for buffalo is a lot different than cows. Well, maybe not different, but bigger. Fences need to be a lot taller and stronger, gates are huge. Corrals and all working facilities, including trailers and trucks to haul them have to be scaled up as well. Its doable but not for us on a large scale. Thanks! -Mike

[@najeebhaddad]

What are the reasons you don’t have pigs on your ranch?

[@jjustlooken]

a ranch with only two horses how very odd

[@OurWyomingLife]

You can only ride one horse at a time. Thanks for watching -Mike

[@KCandFriendsUSA]

Here’s a tip: Buy a rooster

[@OurWyomingLife]

We had one, they get mean after a couple of years and this one didnt do anything to keep fox away. Thansk Kyle - Mike
