Visiting Our Favorite Calves During Preconditioning

Today we precondition calves, giving them the vaccine they need to ensure they are healthy while here on the ranch. Along the way, we meet back up with some of our most famous calves and see how they are doing now.

Mike have you thought of doing an online auction of the ranches famous calves? There are most likely folks that would be interested in providing a home for your famous critters. Also have you thought of or would it be possible to sell your calves to folks online who would want to finish raising up their own beef for their freezer. Anymore knowing where our food is coming from is becoming important.

[@bcall8970]

Thank you FBN for the service you provide to ranchers.

[@altonriggs2352]

Every grade school should have a Aeroquip system!!

[@logantate4842]

Funny😂

[@michaelstark703]

And state government legislature

[@motor2of7]

That’s funny right there

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Shew...Mike and the Family...you sure help me realize how much I appreciate our mild weather here in North Carolina! Just picked up 14 more cows and nice young heifers for our place! Blessings to you and the family! Josh #stoneyridgefarmer

[@Mike45-47Q]

I had a calf born on the day of the 24 hr stream. Named him Wyoming in honor. He's a Hereford Angus cross. He's a big ol boy.

[@TheHoofGP]

Greeeeat video as always!! Love your content guys!!!

That Arrowquip system IS the bomb! You're a one man show Mike!

[@miriambertram2448]

It really is terrific, isn't it. I expect the original design takes a lot of general knowledge by Arrowquip and specific by the rancher.

[@Arrowquip]

@@miriambertram2448 You're right Miriam! We always listen to feedback from the ranchers and make designs based on that. :)

[@davidgonzales7255]

Mike and Erin, Arrow setup worked amazing!!! A lot of people don't have a clue what it takes if you don't have a good system. To do it all by yourself is what most ranchers would like but not the case. Keep up the great work and toss out all the negative feedback , misspelled words. Those are the ones that don't have a clue what you have accomplished by yourself. Hoping to make it up there one of these days once all this pandemic is over with. From a New Mexico Rancher

[@Arrowquip]

Hi David, We are so happy your setup worked out! A good system definitely makes a difference. We'd love to see some photos of your system. Send us an email - [e-mail] :)

[@charleslynch7274]

Gonna miss peanut when he goes thanks for all your hard work that u do

[@auntymar-marjustme]

OOOHHH no does that mean that i might ended up eating him or will he go to another ranch that raises bull calves so they later because dads too?

[@MrSteveKape]

Great to see them again! Thanks FBN!

[@sheshallbeful]

It never ceases to amaze me that you do so many projects ALL BY YOURSELF! seems like you have learned a lot about equipment repair and different projects regarding the cattle. What an amazing example you are setting for all of us strivers. I also love to watch Erins cooking demos. Have tried a few recipes. Pretty yummy. Continued success. Youre doing great!!🐂🐂🐂🐖🐖🐖🐓🐓🐓🐓

[@brianjonker510]

That was clever with the back up alarm

[@dhuberfl]

Looks like a good advertisement for Aeroquip. Mike handled the whole job by himself. Great productivity helper.

[@travelinthru9519]

Yep they sold out to corporate America not a family farm anymore .but then they want you to buy local yet they don't !

[@susanchamblee2549]

What a terrific video Mike...!! And ALL BY YOURSELF...WhooHoo!! Dang you work hard on the ranch and I sure appreciate you taking me along...!! Thank you🙏🤗😎

Just one view and no comments ahead of me. Thanks again, Mike for all your videos. The really help be escape not only the ordinary but this whole Covid mess.

They are cute and Mike you have a great content , keep it ☝. Everyone have a bless day and sleep tight all night. Nice Video. and see you on the next Our Wyoming Life

[@jerryulman5713]

Growing up in Indiana, raising caves, we had a herd of 15 cows. Love watching you work with your cows, and your easy going attitude.

[@edjrsingleton5921]

Thanks FBN

[@robkent6321]

That Aeroquip chute looks like it works really well! No adjustments needed to go from the cows to working the calves. Awesome.

[@lauriej9418]

Bambies calf looks like he's as chill as his mom. Great that you found savings for meds. When a door closes there is always a window open. Blessings for you and family in this year of turmoil.

[@OurWyomingLife]

So true! Thank you!

[@okoman9568]

Wow. The Arrowquip design, operation, and quality really show during this video. I bet this makes your life a lot easier and better for the cattle.

[@judysmith736]

Loved seeing Peanut and Faith...my all time favorites...along with the other kiddos! I’m so glad you found FBN! I hope it continues to work well for ya! Great video and great to see all the kiddos again! Keep on with the videos and God Bless! ❤️

[@cathymacdonald1789]

Another busy day on the ranch. All you need is an open gate and they go though. Time to make sure all are healthy, given vaccines. Sir Hopsalong,Faith and Peanut all look good. Number 38 should be called Patches. Great one man show Mike.

[@bettysumey1456]

So glad to see the calves all doing well. As always a great video!!

[@wykeishacraft6820]

Welcome to Our Wyoming Life! Great Farm Worker and ani caretaker. I love this channel .

[@wykeishacraft6820]

Good Evening Everyone!

[@caroldave4037]

As a ex farmer stock etc your arrow quip system is awsome being able to do the jobs you do on your own it was always a tad painful catching and holding calves to do medic jobs cheers from dave in uk

[@Arrowquip]

Thanks, Carol! We know that there isn't always help on the ranch, so having a system that makes working cattle efficient, safe and able to operate with one-person is a must.

[@keepinitcountry4401]

Great video Mike. That Arrowquip seems to work like a charm for times when you have to go at it alone 🤠👍 I'm glad you discovered the FBN because every penny counts! 👏🤠

[@Arrowquip]

One-person operation!

[@kenwa64yayoo]

We are all up to date on your shows... brakes my heart lol. need more videos lol

[@deborahlewis5964]

Great videos...great job Mike... working by yourself...Did a great job..

[@marykaywohlert9228]

Wow enjoyed watching you work calves all alone. Thanks for great videos

[@alwaysinblue]

You said previously that one person could operate the Arrowquip system and you showed us how. That must have been a long afternoon. Thanks for taking us along.

[@bhensel100]

Arrowquip makes a great coral system that one man can handle it by himself

[@Arrowquip]

Thanks, Bob! We appreciate the support. Do you have a system yourself?

[@michelleotten1420]

So excited that FBN has gotten into the livestock side of farming and ranching! Looking forward to using their services. Thanks for sharing!

[@waynegilchrist1596]

You really did a great job especially when you consider that you did it completely by yourself. I recognized the famous calves better than I thought I would. Thanks for sharing with us Mike.

[@Arrowquip]

That's the beauty of an Arrowquip system! One-person operation. :)

[@alegriadelsol4862]

You were born to be a rancher Mike😊 I’m glad life unexpected changes gave you the opportunity to fall into this life. All around you and Erin are doing what you love and the ranch still let’s you continue to use other skills that you have like growing a garden, radio host, and great movie maker. Both us humans and all of your animals benefit from you and Erin being in our lives. 🌈😊

[@rshoemaker7368]

Mike this was a great video! So happy that FBN will help you succeed. You really showed that ArrowQuip is great for the rancher big r small. Watching you used this system by yourself was awesome! Loved seeing the stars on the ranch. 👍👍

[@Arrowquip]

Thanks, Russell. Let us know if you'd like more info. We'd be happy to find a system that works for your ranch. [e-mail]

My dad likes taking pictures of new calf’s. I have this one cow who don’t like people even looking at her calf. Lol I tell him go take a pic

The same one he uses on the podcast lol.

I'm totally amazed with 79. I was thinking in the end that you would need to put him down.

Beatiful caws

[@barbcoleus]

You are so sweet to those calves. If I wasn’t watching just listening, I would have thought you were talking to puppies

[@clairemiller1420]

I got so calm watching I dozed off

[@paymaker11]

I completely enjoy everything about this channel!👍🏻👍🏻✝️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@oscarb9139]

First off, I am going to say I support my local stores over the big box stores when it makes sense, or is not a huge financial burden. But there are those who say big box is always bad. I like buying from people who know my name and greet me when I shop there. What Mike has done (and I would probably do the same), is he bought from big box. Why? Because economics dictated that it was a better buy than using his local vets for his vaccination needs. However, always ask your local business if they can match the big box price or come close. If my vet can get close on the price, I go with them. It is better to give my local guy a few bucks than nothing at all. Sometimes the choice has to be big box. The beauty of the little guy, is that he/she has the ability to negotiate price, and they may also be your neighbor.

[@randyainsworth6740]

Enjoyed watching the work by yourself. The chute system appears very good for minimal people.

[@robertrab2563]

Ok I must have missed the cafe that wint the the house to git its first Bath an probably the only Bath it will git in its life. Thanks for the video

[@Marshall_Weber]

Awesome Video and Much Love as Always, Mike!!!!

Always great to see your videos!

[@vickyburton2434]

I enjoy your vlogs and learn so much! I am so thankful I can help support you. It is amazing how fast these babies grow! I wish you the best of success! Do you ever keep heifers to replace your breeding stock? Blessings from Texas!💗

[@johnfiveash6733]

Great video. When I was younger we had a calf that had his both front legs were broken at when it was born. So my father welded some calf braces for its legs. The newspaper reported the story. I held the calf up so the newspaper guy took the picture.

[@inadollard6672]

Thanks again for the great video

[@lindascott2107]

Love your videos you just truck along doing what needs to be done keep up the good work

[@LostInThe0zone]

Arrowquip seems to make the handling go pretty well by yourself.

[@Arrowquip]

That's what we strive for! Not everyone has help on the ranch these days. Let us know if you have questions - [e-mail]

Just curious did Peanut get Ivermecten? I realize might not have seen due to editing. Thx for sharing Mike and the extra effort to bring us along

[@joanneganon7157]

You m so pleased to see all the little ones are doing well! JO JO IN VT 💕😄

[@miriambertram2448]

FBN strikes me as one of those 'why didn't we do this earlier' concepts of getting to smaller farmers and ranchers the pricing and availability that large operations have. Good stuff

[@joewrosenthal00]

Great looking calves: Probably the next time we will see them will be on a dinner plate!

[@gregkurtz4374]

Great video and thank you FBN

[@mindym.1166]

Those are good looking calves, Mike. Happy Thanksgiving to you and the whole family!

[@alegriadelsol4862]

Faith is very pretty! I hope you keep her and don’t sell her❤️ there is something about her eyes and look that makes her look unlike every cow.

[@dbirdeycapozzi9807]

That was a good time! Hoping you and your family enjoy the holidays!

[@jerryforeman4543]

Wow! $800! That arrowquip really helps control those cows safely!

[@Arrowquip]

We're all about safety! Let us know if you'd like more info.

[@robbiebowie6505]

Good video ! Thanks FBN

[@davidrobertson606]

Saving money is always good. Long ago in the 60ies there were local garages that knew your car and would help you get the maximum life out of it. Hope your drug supplier does the same for you and has vet support system.

[@Freedom-nu7he]

Love the videos

[@alisonlightner866]

Loved the video Mike, awesome. And awesome job

[@scotttierney4759]

Great Video

[@sandracahill8849]

You done a great job there Mike by yourself used to everybody being there with you I think your famous calves are going to make some good calves for somebody or even some good meat calves God bless you say hello to your family and have a Happy Thanksgiving and we'll see you on the next video Mississippi girl loving it

[@WPRJersey]

Great video Mike. Maybe #38 name could be 4M. For the views

[@lindapath1072]

Bunch of cuties

[@alexanderlashley9184]

That was a fun video keep on making more.

[@genelegear5418]

I see Aeroquip has made a few design changes from the system you used last year.... Good job...

[@levibachman2077]

could you make a video on how you rotate your herd? like which cows and calves you keep or sell and when you introduce a new bull.

[@miriambertram2448]

Is there a post on how Mike selects replacement mom's?

[@samanthaflynn6140]

Hey hey #Sponsorship. 👏👏👏

[@ralphwoodard609]

Another great video Mike. You always try to keep us informed.. I have a dumb question for you, in any and all of the stuff that you do, are there any antibiotics in your cattle? Just curious.

[@muhammadabrarhanif131]

Nice

[@sewmeonekenobi639]

OK, I understand about saving money with the co-op; however, I can’t help but wonder about the numerous small businesses that you previously purchased your supplies from. The vet for example and the company you bought your bulk feed from. Won’t they suffer financially if farmers and ranchers use the co-op instead of buying from them? I know it’s not your responsibility to support them, but I am sure you considered the financial impact you have on your community. That being said, I’ve read a great book on starting a small or hobby farm, and the one thing it stressed more than anything else, was getting your property, supplies, and help, for as little money as possible. Love your videos.

[@coraclements4562]

everyone is trying to save money that why some shop for meat at Publix or Walmart instead of buying at smaller meat markets!

[@duanepeck7439]

I was wondering about that too.

[@eddeetz493]

Heck of a cattle handling system. I hope they are working as sales are coming. Smart use of marketing funds, showing how one man can work 100 head of calves real-time. Now to get a fodder partner. Your on a roll.

[@Arrowquip]

All of our equipment is designed for a one-person operation! We'd be happy to get you more info if you'd like. :)

[@kingfishjrb]

looks like the arrowquip system worked well for you.

[@FarmFreshIB]

Check the units that had wing nuts. Maybe they have wing nuts on both sides of that unit. If so you could use regular nuts on one side and wing nuts on the inside where you want to be able to remove them.
