The End of Calving

[@greenacrebirds]

Do people agree that our Wyoming life is a amazing Channel 👍👍 😁,

[@timsutherland5089]

Completely enjoy each video

[@jarrettgerber6527]

I agree it is

[@Okimyhome]

I love this channel. I’ve Learned so much from Mike. God bless you and your family for happiness and prosperity.

[@amitgosh5434]

Yup very educative and entertaining 👍👍👍. Thank you for letting us be part of your journey 😊

[@HunterLodgeStables]

One of my favorite channels I'm subscribed to 😃

[@austinswift9966]

Here in Michigan, I left a 250 head dairy farm and I knew I loved life raising cattle. It has inspired me to take on my grandpas empty land he intended to farm 25 years ago but never could do to health problems.now at 23 years old I am becoming a first generation farmer, I have 18 heifer calves I raised last fall and 2 angus bull calves I purchased 3 months ago. All bottle calves I raised while working a 60+ hour work week on my own. People like you and Your wife inspire the future of me and my soon to be wife’s future ranch story. Keep making videos it’s appreciated by the little guys like me.

[@sixtoes2313]

Austin swift.. Wishing you the best of luck with your Farm/Ranch !

[@Keythers]

Document everything and post it on you tube, I would be glad to follow your adventures .

[@jeffryblackmon4846]

Austin, thanks for taking on a difficult task. May your enterprise flourish. God bless.

[@davidhintz1]

Me too

[@austinswift9966]

I’d love to run a KZbin channel but I don’t have the smooth voice mike does. I have a voice meant for Facebook. Thanks for all the support i appreciate all the positivity

[@cmoreson4281]

Mike I just wasn’t to tell you how much I appreciate you show us your life on the farm. The 30 day vlog and the 24 hour stream was incredible especially what has happen in our world. It was the highlight of my weeks in quarantine.

[@garypollard9770]

Love to see these baby calves and just watch them as they experience this new life for them!

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks for watching Gary.

[@juliehenry6421]

Faith is a nice looking heifer - I hope you keep her in the herd - Thank you for showing the ups and downs of farm life 😁

[@caspertheghost9999]

Thank you and your family for your efforts to remind us all that hard work & perseverance always wins in the long run !

[@OurWyomingLife]

Our pleasure!

[@wykeishacraft6820]

I 💘 Our Wyoming Life and the Beyond The Ranch . I 💘 this amazing 👪 with those adorable animals that they have brought ☝ a mighty long way. I hated when he lose a calf. 😢

[@livingwithcancer1245]

Lots of laughs and cries watching your channel. But one of the best channels I sub too. Thank you for all you do to keep the cows, bulls and calves happy and healthy.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thank you Stephanie. I appreciate that. Thanks for tagging along with us.

[@cathybrown5293]

Always a good day when there's an OWL video! :) Now I'm just waiting for BTR to go LIVE!

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks Cathy, and see ya Sunday!

[@Todd.Roberts]

Mike I’m glad that you have had the success that you have had in this years calving . Keep up the great work

[@youngbullgaming.6201]

Did the brown calf die its sad.

[@clairemiller1420]

You are good at what you do this what keeps our country going

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks Todd.

[@lauriej9418]

Nice to see those calves getting so big. Come on 100. Be safe and well

[@OurWyomingLife]

It is good to see them growing, and healthy. Thanks for watching Laurie.

[@ez1913]

Great edit, Mike. Crushed that I missed your editing technique when we lost the 24 hr stream. I'm lucky enough to have not missed any work during the virus, making shade in the desert always pays. Damn Prairie Dogs! Those holes are going to break a calves leg. I can't watch the ranch loose anymore calves, it's heartbreaking. Thanks for sharing, Mike -EZ

[@Rox600601]

Im still crushed that 24hr stream was lost. Amazing what happened in 24hrs. Could never b repeated, all the challenges, highs/lows, humor,frustrations and learning where the wifi drops out,lol. KZbin really should have taken steps to recall and preserve that stream, i can only imagine the views/adds they are going to miss.

[@Rox600601]

Oh yeah, i can still hear the gator twheels spinning...😉😄🙃😂

[@jeffgrudosky416]

From a fellow cattle farmer here in Ohio. Thanks for doing these videos you really explain everything quite well. Keep up the good work and long hours in promoting Americans agricultural.

[@hannahlawson57]

Mike and Erin, y'all are amazing for sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly of the ranch. I will fully admit I cried my way through the beginning of calving. I cried at the two stillborns, the two you lost, and when Faith and Goliath were born (I actually screamed when you said Goliath was alive and scared my husband 😬), so I can't even imagine the emotions y'all go through, but you still brought us with you. Thank you so much for that and here's hoping you're able to get a little more sleep soon!

[@PrairieSunsetRanch]

Been watching Our Wyoming Life from the start! Amazing channel. I learnt so much from them it made it a lot easier for me to start up my own YT farm channel. Cheers 🍻 all from Prairie Sunset Ranch!

[@kristenmateo9156]

This is a great guy, family, and overall great perspective on life. Thanks for your words and for giving us insight on ranch life. A key to our country's success is farmers, ranchers, and those who provide all the services in between. I'm in Jersey...not too much ranching here but I do envy you, anchors, in our daily living. Thanks. I'll keep watching...God Bless!

[@susanchamblee2549]

Thank you Mike for wrapping up almost the whole calving season for us. We know it was a rough start for y’all and our hearts went out to you and yours. Thanks so much for taking us along to “Escape the Ordinary”...GREAT VIDEO!

[@jodysappington7008]

Love seeing the calves again.....great video

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks Jody.

[@Alisha_79]

You made me tear up again! I am glad you brought us along on this crazy journey.

[@brendasnider7130]

Amazing video. You have some beautiful new lives on the ranch. Si much fun watching them grow up. My grandpa had a beef cow ranch and pigs for a few years. He probably had 2000-4000 cows it was back in the 60's he died when I was 12 grandma sold the ranch had a auction.

[@Rox600601]

Thank you Mike for todays vlog. Had a crap day and mid day i thought how much i missed my daily OWL connection. I know tomorrow is a new opportunity for a better day but today was filled with aggravation. Same for my 82 yr old dad. Wish he could watch uour vids. But todays vlog reminded me of all the good and bad that can occur in a day and how encouraging you, Erin and the kids could elevate an otherwise difficult day. You guys are special.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Sorry to hear that you had a bad day. Hope things get better for ya, and thanks for tagging along with us.

[@FF-rs5rf]

Awesome summary! From the city and don’t know anything about cow’s, ranches and farming but stumbled on your channel and loved your 30 for 30 vlogs! Thank you!

[@jpmerrick8886]

Wonderful as usual great to watch instead of news see you all sundy

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks JP, and see ya Sunday.

[@jpmerrick8886]

Sure will and this is my nomme de plumm Mike or screen handle recently told you to rest so you see me in chat best to you and yours

[@phendrahend9530]

Just found your channel and I'm having a serious walk down memory lane. I was born and raised on a farm/ranch/dairy. Dad worked hard to keep it all going at once. The baby season was always a favorite of mine, even baby pigs are born cute! I'll gladly watch the calving (and any other type of ranch animal) season. I was one of the bottle baby crew, somebody had to feed them if mom can't or won't. This is an amazing channel!

[@OurWyomingLife]

Glad ya found us Phendera. Hope you stick around spend some time with us. We do a live stream on Sunday night on our sister channel called "Beyond the Ranch". Thanks for finding us.

[@CC-xk6cp]

Hi again MIKE Happy to hear you're more rested now. All gets a bit easier or maybe just different but enthusiasm returns with some rest. Must say I truly miss the 30 but I especially know I miss the daily chore routine here. Wonderful to see that green grass return and sure do hope it will be a good summer for it. Feeling a bit out of touch now but will be looking forward to your regular vids again. Happy you survived another calving. You did a great job Mike! Thx as always...

[@Gageleavitt25]

Why are mikes videos so addictive?

[@OurWyomingLife]

Good question, if you figure it out let me know and I will do more of that :) Thanks

[@ericl452]

Mike is a very good story teller. Good pace to the narration with matching video clips. This video was somewhat of a bummer with the calves that didn't make it, but there were some success stories mixed in. The underlying message is that it ain't easy being a farmer. After the video, I double checked to make sure I was subscribed. Very interesting videos for me. My life couldn't be more different. I have worked my entire career in nuclear power after graduating from Georgia Tech about 35 years ago. I've never owned more than a acre of land.

[@messianichebrewshawnkawcak1550]

It’s the real life stuff without the drama. It’s getting to know the personalities involved. It’s the conversational approach.

[@melissapatterson2982]

From one farm to another, I love that it represents the day to day struggle, the heartbreak and the joys that we all face. Plus there is something about Mike’s voice

[@rshoemaker7368]

Did I hear right that you have only been calving for three years? If not set me right. Live the recap of the calving season. Didn’t want to miss a moment! Thank you for bring us along.

[@OurWyomingLife]

The channel has only been on for 3 years. Thanks

[@rshoemaker7368]

Our Wyoming Life okay thank you. Didn’t think I heard right.

[@wykeishacraft6820]

A Channel i can't stop looking at

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thank you Wykeisha. Appreciate that.

[@sunnyvideofatehjang3600]

Nice video

[@johnfamous6316]

Mike y'all are doing great and I'm really happy to see those calves running around. I really missed your video🌟

[@TheSnakeman3]

Nice job Mike All the calves on the ground is very rewarding.

[@Bill_N_ATX]

One of my favorite singer-philosophers says “that the days that I keep my gratitudes bigger than my expectations is generally a good day.” I guess a rancher in Wyoming had better live life like that too and it seems you do. Thanks for the videos and best to you and your family.

[@alisonlightner866]

Thank you for the memories of this year, I was with you for the entire time. Thank you and your beautiful family for the excitement. Hugs.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Appreciate that Allison. Thank you.

[@robinnewcomb2531]

I can still remember my first calving experience, some 40 years ago... Mama cow was in the barn, going through a breach birth. Chains, a lot of pulling to help, and the the words, "Damn it, another bull!"

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks for sharing that Robin. Although we havent had many breach's, I can understand the feeling of another bull!

[@Rebelgirl-kv6bd]

Thank you for all that you do!!

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks for watching!

[@mikehamilton3833]

Great calving season series of videos, Mike. You're patient, caring, and perseverance is amazing. Thanks for taking us along. Good luck this year haying and growing American beef.

[@lisaelliott1149]

Thanks for letting us get a more intimate look at calving season this year. Your daily vlogs added a big load to your work day but was much appreciated by viewers like myself. You are making a difference in many ways. Congratulations on your season and best wishes to the next phase in the journey.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Our pleasure! Thank you as well!

[@robynmorris2408]

So good to see the grass getting a little greener. You need a little warm weather and then a little rain. Let’s hope Mother Earth gets that message. Thanks for the update and hope number 100 comes along soon.

[@OurWyomingLife]

I hope so too!

[@argerinejordan4703]

Hi. I enjoy your channel so much! Good to see the calves running around and getting big. I miss being on the farm with my late dad and the cows. Thanks for all you do.🐄🐓🐔🐖🐕🐴🐱

[@8tomtoms8]

Loved the calving wrap up video!!! It was nice remembering the 30/30. The 30/30 is when I became an OWL lifer. See you Sunday.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks for that Tom. Glad you are tagging along with us. See ya Sunday!

[@Circle_8_Alpacas]

Calving season was great to see. I miss that from when I grew up on the farm.

[@sandracorless6186]

Hey Mike I just want to say I have learned more about life on a ranch and calving and heifers by watching your vlogs. You have a way of explaining everything from beginning to the end so that everyone understands it. And life on the ranch is not always easy you showed us the ups and downs and that's more realistic. You are one hell of a rancher and should be voted rancher of the year. So whats next for OWL keep up the good work and see you in the next videos🤔🐂😯🤠👏💞😉

[@OurWyomingLife]

Im glad we are able to show things and your able to learn for us. I appreciate you saying that Sandra. Now if I was to share with ya about whats next you wouldn't have to watch! LOL Stay safe and healthy!

[@Cap513]

Oh how I Miss The 30 in 30 videos, that was an Enjoyable Time. I just received an envelope Full of Jerky today, My O My is it ever Awesome!!!

[@markmortensen4341]

I think that's the reason you have so many subs. It's the unknown that peaks people's curiosity about ranch life. You guys do a really great job showing and explaining what's happening and why‼️👍👍👍❤️

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks Mark.

[@lindajarrett5078]

Good Job on the calving ! Keep up the good work you do. Thanks for this video

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks, will do!

[@kennyhager181]

Thank you and your family for doing the 30 & 30 and let us be a part of your lives! Kenny Hager from North Carolina & My small Hager’s Farm

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks for watching Kenny.

[@tcrasey]

Great series of videos, one of my favorite channels! I loved the 30 in 30 days! I didn’t miss any of them. My heart hurt just as much as yours when you lost one!

[@joanneganon7157]

Hi Mike, just wanted to let you know that I thuraly enjoyed thet ime spent with you and Erin and the kids. Hopefully there won't be so much sickness about. But if your up to it , it would be great to have a go again 👍! Thanks JO JO IN VT 💕😄

[@sdelony]

I hated walking out to my barn not knowing if they were alive or dead . I had two that were good one day and off the next gotta lucky they made it .

[@hotshot27a]

Dont forget to mention live stream sundays on beyond the ranch channel at 8pm eastern 6pm mountain your local time its always a blast and great fun.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks James. See ya then.

[@latinaso2007srmr]

Im in the process of buying my ranch. Even thoe i live in Florida and is different weather, I still watch my Wyoming life to get educated on what ranching is about and ready for what's coming. It won't be a easy road but I'm in for all of it. I know ranching is not about the money but more about the life style. Thanks for your videos mike.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Congrats on getting your own Ranch! Wish you the best of luck, and thanks for watching.

[@timperry2648]

You are the best in the business. Thanks for letting us come along on another "Our Wyoming Life" calving season.

Thanks Mike and the whole OWL family

[@rnull2237]

That was a great recap of everything from the thirty days to present. Lots of new cafes.

[@OurWyomingLife]

I think so too! Thanks!

[@InsaneFirebat]

Since the everyday schedule has expired, I've realized that I don't know when to expect your videos anymore. Can someone remind me of the regular schedule?

[@robertsimmons3556]

Good review Mike. We were there and looked forward to every post on the 30/30. You've really memorialized what life on the ranch during calving is truly like. Well done Sir!

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks Robert. Appreciate you saying that.

[@roygilmore2968]

Another great video recap. Thanks. Also, my wife ordered some jerky and a shirt from you guys as an early Father’s Day present. Jerky showed up today and the shirt is on the road somewhere. I was pretty excited as my wife only watches some of the videos with me. Thank you both for some wholesome and educational entertainment.

[@OurWyomingLife]

That is awesome! Enjoy !!!

[@princed47130]

I hope you respond. 1.). When do the bulls go out again, and who replaced Bubbles & the injured one from last year? 2.) will you do a video specifically about your herd steer - what’s his purpose, does he help your herd, is he more a pet, and how do the bulls react to him.

[@LostInThe0zone]

Happy that it's been a largely successful calving season for the ranch. Hope that it means you've turned a corner on losses and will swing deeply into black.

[@afaizin5830]

Please make a detail video of bulls (like their age, traits and reason you choose them) before you move them with cow. Nice content keep it up

[@hairymanonetwo]

Mike: I love your videos !!! Down to earth and direct ! You show most all sides in being a farmer/ rancher ! Ive viewed many of Greg Judys videos . Seems he never has an issue with anything....just heavenly ! Never a calving issue..foot issue...pink eye issue. Just a perfect life ! If a person leaves a comment asking about those issues. Often they are instantly blocked !! Ive seen it many times ! So..... with all sincerity.....I thank you ! Great Job !

[@OurWyomingLife]

Irv, nobody has a perfect life or Ranch. I just take everyone along with us to show them our life. Thanks for watching.

[@michaelsailors7794]

Mike I'm glad y'all got thru calving season. I know the highs and the very lows all too well. But at the end of the day the successes make it worth while. Good luck with hay season, and God bless. We're started with hay in ga hope y'all can start soon

Mike, Just wanted to once again say Thank You. Thanks for the videos, Thanks for the 30/30, Thanks for being a great narrator / story teller. I really enjoy you videos, it is a bit of an escape, but at the same time I feel we all learn a little about this strange thing we call life ! I wish you and your family continued success and I hope that your channel is around for a long time. Now lets start getting equipment ready for haying !!!

[@OurWyomingLife]

Very welcome

[@braddarnell6910]

I in joy every video you out out I look forward to seeing them it's make my week. I gest because that how I was raise. On a 600 acres farm. We had pigs cows lambs. You all ways remind me of the good old days. Had to the farm life for good reasons because mostly of money. Even know the farm I grow up on still there still own by same family and I miss it so much. You keep it at live for me. All ways look forward watching ur videos. Keep up the hard work and thanks for being a smile to my old face. Go big Vols.

[@OurWyomingLife]

More to come!

[@sandykien4233]

Love to see your farming. It´s so different to the farming in our country. Greetings from Austria.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks Sandy, Its always interesting hearing how thing are different in other parts of the world. Thanks for watching.

[@sandykien4233]

@@OurWyomingLife Oh yes, is is very different, because we don´t have so much space for our animals. You have got a lot of land, in our country cows are looked up in the barn, can´t move the hole wintertime long, get their calves often with human help and then they are taken away from their mums. It´s not the kind of farming I like. We only have got horses and would like to have more space. But I don´t get it. I really like to watch your videos. It shows how it is to keep cows on a natural way. Calves are together with their Mums and I can laugh about your comments sometimes. It feels like you are so happy to get a healthy calf, which is standing, moving around and growing. Austria is a very small country and the farmers have a lot of rules from the EU. Farming in our country is a challenge. Would like to see Wyoming by myself and get a touch of that, what you are doing. On time, not possible and after Corona it will get expensive. Sorry for my austrian english.

[@brileigh3039]

When calving starts in April ends in may my cows started calling in April it has still not end and there six cows having calf’s it’s still not over

[@brandeissports3436]

Really enjoyed the summary of calving. My favorite part. And thanks again for your 30 x 30 days of vlogging. I really enjoyed it and I’ve missed it every day you haven’t clogged. I know it was hard work and extra sleep list but I really enjoyed the distractions from my real life.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@pumptruckjim]

Great recap Mike. Hope the weather treats you well after all the late snow and cold.

Mike, that was an excellent recap of your calving season. I am really pulling for you. I am a little bit disappointed you didn't update the broken leg calf that it's mom stepped on but I have no doubt you will get around to it. You are a great narrator.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks Wayne.

[@justinrees2400]

Hey mike have you heard of rotational grazing? I think it would help the ranch grow a lot more grass and increase profitability. Especially with the tough conditions in Wyoming.

[@ser3589]

Thank you. Great video.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching SER.

[@timgilchrist3065]

I have been calving since February and the last month has been nickel and diming me. Down to 3 to go. But yeah, I get what you mean. When I go out to check the herd, I just look out and feel at peace with myself knowing that I am their caretaker.

[@OurWyomingLife]

That is a feeling that is hard to put into words. Thanks for tagging along with us.

A lot of good looking caves

[@jenng2454]

About 2 miles in each direction from our house are different dairy farms. There are so many baby calfs!!! I have to pull over whenever I see one in midst of birthing and just watch. I’ve wanted to stop so many time and see if they let volunteers help, but I’d be so sad if they said no!!! I’d gladly feed bottle babies all day long

[@mruthcowboy4991]

This has been my first calving season. Very cool. Thanks for the 30/30, the education. Let’s do it again next year. What do you say?
