[@Xehxna]

[@felizshaw192]

Mine also I was really worried about blond cow

[@miriambertram2448]

I snuck through the comments early to see this, thanks.

[@coreyshelman]

Blonde cow saved by the bull

[@cathymacdonald1789]

It’s a noisy day and a busy one on the ranch today. I love the way you talk to all the animals on the ranch, you treat them well and not just as a commodity . Thank you for that. All the best or this winter. Way to go Bambi and Blonde cow, you make me so proud.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thank you Cathy!

Mike, my oldest cow is almost 19 years old. She is our Nanny. She is in flat ground and happy with a scoop of grain, loving, and the fact she is still here. She has a Lead Steer that adores her. 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@OurWyomingLife]

Amazing, thank you!

[@BillTheTractorMan]

Sometimes a good cow is worth her weight in... well feed or something. They keep the heard sane and following the routine.

[@timperry2648]

First time I've watched in a while due to just being busy, but man that new CORRAL SYSTEM IS SWEET!!

[@dianer.9461]

Hi, Mike. That looked like a pretty smooth process. Really showed off the good design of the Arrowquip set up. So happy for Blonde cow and Bambi.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks 👍

[@susans9617]

So, we all just had a collective sigh of relief for Blond Cow . . .

[@richardarini227]

This was a great segment. Glad your favorite cows are pregnant. Arrowquip system worked great. Congratulations.

[@coraclements4562]

The Arrow Euip really made this look easier this year, not a lot of stress on the cows.

[@rogerfuhr8067]

That is one sweet operating system. We bought a tub, squeeze chute, and panels 40 years ago and still using them. They would bring today, what we paid for them. At the time, Dad said the system was cheaper than the cost of one of us breaking a leg. Big labor saver and great safety factor for you. Sell the opens and replace with what you can afford. The way you feed, mineral and feed, they shouldn’t be many open, but drought could be a factor.

[@ratspitt]

Over on the Channel Just A Few Acres Farm, Pete did a video called Tax Credits for small farms. the reason i mention this is in the video he briefly talk about a government program the paid him for disaster relief witch was a drought and i'm assuming just like you it caused his hay crop to fail because it is his only crop just like yours. anyways just thought i would share that info just incase you didnt know about this program, but you probably do. This Chanel got me watching all kinds of farm channels btw Thanks alot pal!

[@robkent6321]

You lucked out with the weather that day! Sunny and calm.....we usually have half a blizzard when we go to preg check. Haha.

[@CC-xk6cp]

Hi again MIKE A busy noisy day! Thank goodness for the System. Makes your life so much easier especially since you do all that shuffling by yourself. Yay for babies coming from the two ranch stars! Stay safe and healthy!!!

[@rshoemaker7368]

What a relief that our favorites are pregnant 🍾🥂 The three of you must be so tired!!💪 Loved watching the ArrowQuip work out so well.

[@johnnycampbell5234]

Awesome video, Congrats on all the calvess, I’m glad Bambi and Blonde Cow are both pregnant this year

[@BethGrantDeRoos]

The cow at the 12:56 mark trying to get out of the pen reminds me of the reaction of someone being told they will be getting a colonoscopy where everyone can watch. We would have bought Bambi and Blondie and kept them as pets ( yes we are sappy)

[@AngiesPantry58]

I love that you keep it real Mike. You didn't edit out when you feel.. It's not funny, But it was funny.. Awesome set up you have there.. Have a awesome weekend.. Big hugs from our home to yours.

[@justamom863]

Awesome to see two women working together to get the preg checks done

[@bigcliffadventures]

Oh tell everyone there today did a great job and I see just how hard your wife works too. Mike as allways God bless y'all

[@OurWyomingLife]

Thanks, you too!

[@walterperrault]

I just stumbled on to your channel and watched a few videos and I have to say I have a newfound respect for farmers. thank you so much

[@deblawson1575]

CONGRATS🎈🎆🎀🎉On all the pregnant cows but especially Bambi and Blond cow.

[@jesusdavila4792]

Buddy I'm only started up down in south Texas I've got plenty of help from my dad and his old school ranch hand buddies but it's nice to see what I have to look forward to. And those corrals are great

[@triciaadamson2285]

Way to go Bambi & Blonde cow that great. I must say that arrowquip system makes your lives so much easier. The way you treat all of your animals is just heartwarming you have compassion. Thanks for taking us along with you what a great turn out for your ranch. Take Care & God BLess

[@mikegropp3649]

Oh I can't wait for the 30 in 30. Might take the day off for the 24hr live stream. Thank you Mike and Erin for top notch content. Extremely informative as well as entertaining.

[@ez1913]

The Arrowquip really is an amazing tool. Thanks for sharing, Mike.

[@jamieg.1392]

12 cows all with headaches. Thank you for the outstanding content in every upload. Stay blessed!!💖💖💖💖💖

[@debt4717]

LOL!!! You just won the internet!

[@bethfoster6591]

Great job guys! Thanks for showing us how it’s done; that Arrow equipment really made it easier and smoother.🥳

[@HotBazzinga]

You can tell the trust you have built with the cows because they move so slow when you push them. They are not moving out of fear :)

[@cmoreson4281]

Good news on the ranch. You need to have a cold one after the hard work you and Erin did today.

[@ojjenkins7110]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE. Mine was Sunday and a friend of mine is today also.

[@jheidecker6247]

Afternoon mike have a great night and rest of the week

[@michaelsailors7794]

That is a great setup yall have. Glad to see you have good numbers on pregnancy. Good cattle is a must. Our markets are rough here in Georgia also. Hopefully they will rise soon. Great video and I enjoy seeing others work cattle similar to the way I do with trying to keep them as calm as possible. God bless and stay safe out there

[@davidkelley5740]

You are so lucky to have Erin to help she good hand !

[@marydrewel5973]

I've gotten to watch so many of these videos, and this next season I will be praying for you and No losses. During the mean time..

[@wildbill5126]

Mike you and Erin are troopers for sure, Them black stubborn ladies have attitude. Appreciate you folks sharing. Love the ArrowQuip system sure works well for you all.

[@fredboiton7893]

Mike you looked like a proud soon to be grandpa 😁 I know its always a relief when a (pet) cow comes up loaded. You won't need to do that business decision.

[@JoshBaker118]

Watched 46 seconds and can already tell its gonna be a good one

[@viviangrantz2572]

Y’all did good with the new corral system

[@rhonamallard6918]

Aussies produced a good product there in Arrowquip

[@sandracorless6186]

Hey Mike, Congratulations you're going to be a uncle lol. Bambi and Blond cows are going to be mommies. Do you know why more cows are not pregnant just curious. Wow Peanut has gotten big so whats next for OWL keep up the good work and see you in the next video🤔🐄🍼😉

[@jmprvrhntcmp]

Right on!!! Awesome!!! Let the work begin! Congrats! 👍🎉

[@SnowManson]

Seems like a great Vet, not the easiest part of her job. Arrowquip seemed to work great too.

[@Jlind9335]

I do live that way. thru you. So happy about Bambi and blonde cow. Did a happy dance for them.

[@baltazargreen3995]

We bought a Bambi coffee mug. Bambi must stay

[@OurWyomingLife]

haha, good point! Thanks

[@carolutley6523]

Thanks guys! Would love to see a video of the beekeeper harvesting the boxes 🐝

[@sergiodeleon3551]

Out here ranchin just like you in The great plains of Texas

[@agirlandhercows501]

not a bad preg check at all we did 2.9% this year one of our best ever

[@alegriadelsol4862]

Wow Mike! Amazing video footage! Can’t believe you can film in the middle of moving tons of cows! Great job. 👌

[@CindyKinney]

This is so interesting and so much work. That handling system is like a huge maze! Thanks for taking the time to video this for us when it's obviously a very busy morning. Take good care on the farm and stay well.

[@OurWyomingLife]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jlgriess1986]

Glad you guys had decent preg check results! Looks like the ArrowQuip works really well! 🤩

[@carrieschirado8967]

Awesome! Love watching the mommas come in. Yay for Bambi and Blonde Cow!

[@alegriadelsol4862]

Funny blooper in the middle Mike!

[@cherylcampbell7495]

Cattle look good and healthy. You all work so hard. Great system set up.

[@fullmoonflockstock6929]

I used to make fun of my buddy using the rattle stick for working the cows, I was taught with a cow cane. But I use it all the time for working our pigs and lamb on our farm. So handy.

[@theavandenberg6876]

Happy two of the biggest stars on the ranch are pregnant again.

[@dhansonranch]

That handling system sure works slick for doing the preg checking with just the two of you - a valuable asset. I get having to sell the 12 off, but wondering with everything going on if it would be an idea to put them in for a short time with a bull for fall calves next year...we have a few ranchers up here that have spring and fall calves as it works well for cash flow and handling....just thinking these 12 might, if they caught, work for the farm store flow and for cash flow. Just a thought. Good job!

[@marthavalentine7569]

Corral system is awesome.

[@wykeishacraft6820]

First , Hi Mike i love watching Our Wyoming Life

[@keepinitcountry4401]

You and Erin both deserve a few adult beverages after all that Mike - CHEERS!! 🍻🤠👍

[@OurWyomingLife]

agreed!

[@carolynmalkowski3654]

Hello Mike G lad all is going well can't wait to see baby calf.s love from New jersey

[@justinsimmons2715]

100+ by noon, id say that corral system is pretty dang nice!

[@Marshall_Weber]

Awesome Video Mike and Much Love as Always!!!

[@mikejohnson1073]

Great job and Great Aeroquip. Could you let everyone know how many heifers you might be able to keep until they can produce?

[@kwilliamson1096]

Best Reveal party I've ever been to.

[@saydylan5]

It would be cool to be there in person to learn more about ranches for education purposes. I would pay money to learn how to start up a ranch and see what it takes to do so haha 😄 awesome channel 👏

[@lukehillier2262]

When does the next video come out

[@josephinesmith6854]

Peanut is such a Big boy. Hugs and kisses

[@ronniepate4315]

You guys made it look easy . I know it's not , but it's a great system .

[@teraexafusion745]

Fantastic News 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Irene-ke6to]

I love your videos! Thanks!

[@williamyokel0515]

You should do a video on selling (or whatever you are doing with) your open cows.

[@lesliestout886]

Howdy from west Texas! Good video!

[@pakviroti3616]

I think I am in love with the vet!

[@Melodie007]

Great video! Hi from Texas!

[@pumptruckjim]

Hi Mike and Erin. Looks like a busy day but at least no snow or blowing weather. Just wondering how many of you would it take to do that with the old corral system. have a great day.

[@fbajohn3108]

Quick question as I am learning. What does it cost roughly for the vet to do a preg check? Is it per hour or per cow? Also that Arrowquip is an amazing system! Glad you were able to get that for the ranch. Great investment. Thank you for continuous step by step as I watch and learn what it takes to have a ranch style life.

[@loisblais3431]

Awesome corral system! Great when it all comes together the way it should with no worries. Good investment,

[@OurWyomingLife]

We agree! Thanks!

[@leighcowley9869]

What about replacement heifers. When I ran cattle I usually kept about 25%

[@tcrasey]

Nice System, did I see Errin taking the ear tags off?

[@OurWyomingLife]

Yes. Cows that aren’t pregnant lose their ear tags.

[@randyclay2225]

Thanks for the video

[@garyag45]

Caught just first part of title and thought “ERIN” 😁 Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

[@dobberaaron6658]

That's good Bambi stays that big black and white cow she's big looks like that aeroquip did good

[@shaunroberts9361]

You should have told everybody why those cows are balling so bad is because there away from there calfs... Man no Wrecks. That was very smooth

[@bmaiceman]

Man I wish I was in better Phisicle shape... Your life seems a lot more gratifying . and a lot more interesting I'm very envious.

[@sandibeu2259]

Loved the fireworks! Congratulations Bambi and Blondie!! I would hate to see them go, they are great mascots! Are you sure you're ok?

[@Saratogan]

It occurs to me that in the same manner as your annual preg check, Could improve your annual calf yield above 90% by AI'ing all the cows at the end of April. Just bring them all through the squeeze shoot and give them all AI and then you would be sure that the deed was done and they would all calve around the same time 9.25 months later. Just a thought.

[@AcesUpOffroad]

AI does not always stick

[@randyparker1942]

What is the purpose of the raised bar on the floor of the squeeze chute that the cows have to strattle? Slow them down headed to the head catcher?

[@edjrsingleton5921]

This city Boy was entertained 🤣

[@Paladun100]

that arrowquip makes slick as snot

[@zach_hewitt]

12 open is pretty good considering you had a rookie in Vader. Did you run Cracker through just to see if the Vet was paying attention?

[@alwaysinblue]

Woohoo! Break out the champagne!! Bonde cow and Bambi are prego. "Celebration, yeah, come on"...

[@bigcliffadventures]

Just want to ask why dont you move the open cows over with the bulls now at least to you sale them ?

[@janefranzen7051]

Love the equipment and about 40 years ago, preg testing was done by inserting your gloved hand/arm into the rectum, pat in the direction of the uterus to see if it will kind of bounce back, then “bounce” it a few times to estimate the age of the fetus. Bet the cows like today’s method much better.

[@calebjones8691]

I remember when bambi was a little calf

[@blakebuilds1]

i love your vids but man its driving me crazy the arrows dont point in the the direction of travel .. haha have a good one keep up the good work

[@ernestdougherty3162]

Good job

[@slamboy66]

I remember in grade school we use to moo in the lunch line. The lunch monitors were not amused .

[@charleslynch7274]

Great video so what happens to the 12 cows do they go to another farm or get turned into tasty burgers and steaks

[@joanneganon7157]

Congrats! JO JO IN VT 💕😄

[@josephriddle8634]

I like the herding chicken, what breed is she? lol

[@collinslawnmaintenance]

So was the one that tried jumping out pregnant? And how often do you guys pour on the ivermecton monthly or yearly. Just curious I have a small cow/calve operation in Northern Indiana. Good to hear that most of your cows are pregnant.

[@OurWyomingLife]

We do ivermectin at preg checking and at branding. Thanks
