In the first days of winter, everything on the ranch needs to prepare for snow and extreme temperatures. From cows to machinery, they all need attention. This week, come along as we feed the cows for one of the first times this winter, then help as we put machinery away for the season and also get some winter essentials out to get to work. Also a growing tradition is upheld with the burning of the summer hat.

I like the hat ceremony. Mine have stages so I wear as the occasion calls for. When they’re new, I only wear when I’m showered and going out. Once they get worn in and sweaty they become everyday wear. After that they just kinda hang around. Thanks again for an awesome video! I’m addicted!

Hi Mike and Erin. The winters in southeast Wyoming were long, cold, windy and very snowy back in the 70's and 80's. I always looked forward to the season, since growing up in SoCal, we had none of it. The older I get, the harder it is on my joints. But, I make it thru, and look that much more ahead to spring! Hope your winter goes by quickly, and it's a healthy and safe one for the herd and your family. Have a great week! Deb

Surprised you dont have wheel poppers to push vehicles where they need to be. And a power jack or pallet jack to move supply closer and tighter. Then if the vehicle was stored until winter. Just cover it. And add stabilizer to the furl tanks. To keep it from Gunking up. Your doing a awesome job. Be proud of yourself.

Too bad about the jack stand, glad it still works 🙂, for putting up implements in our machine sheds we used our bobcat, one of the pallet forks had a hole in the end to hitch pin the machines we were moving. Not sure if it was bought like that or we put it there. But using the bobcat did make that task easier. Too bad that cake feeder doesn’t have it’s own little trailer then any vehicle with a hitch could pull it around. Nice video as usual, I like the hat tradition.

Caking the cows was easy for us. We put the truck in grandma gear( slow as a slow walk) then we leave the cab, hop on the bed of the truck and open cake sacks. the cows all move to the rear of the truck to eat. When were done the truck did it's job poling along at a snail pace. Then back to the warmth of the truck.

I just say that, cuz God forbid if there ever was a fire, then hopefully you could get everything out in time cuz you blocked your tractor in with the bailer. Plus u can air up and rotate the tires on the bailer midwinter, if you have the room? Bailers cuz of their weight, are notorious for having flat tires when stored

Hey Mike. I just recently became a subscriber to your channel. I used to live on a black Angus farm in Southern Wisconsin and now I live in Northern Michigan. I’ve always loved life on the farm and ranch. I basically was just scanning KZbin channels for something to remind me I’m home and I stumbled upon your channel. I love what you guys are doing! I have a request/suggestion. What if you gave away your summer hat to a random subscriber? I love my straw hat and would have a hard time burning it. You could do some sort of sweepstakes for raffle of some kind. Just a thought. Keep making videos. They brighten my day.

Hello Jason, my favorite part of working with cattle is probably calving. Especially when a cow needs you and you can really tell that she knows she needs your help.

Ranches are typically located on land that is not suitable for farming. Most land in the south is used for farming which is more profitable then ranching and can be done on smaller plots of land. Ranching is done in the western USA where land is often of poorer quality and gets a lot less rain.

Evenin' Mike, I've gotta question.... I have owned a few hats in my time. I even have a Rodeo King Felt (the first my wife bought) that's over 20 years old, it's been rebuilt a time or 2. How is it that you get the upward bend in the front of your brim? Pushing up with your thumb? Your black felt does not show the same characteristic. Just wonderin'.

Yeah the upward bend on my straw hat just comes from use and wear. The straw hat probably has more give and honestly I'm not as gentle with it as I am my Stetson. Great question. Thanks -Mike

Can you put the cake feeder in the other gator
@OurWyomingLife
@OurWyomingLife 6 жыл бұрын
I'm not sure if it would fit. The bad thing about that little gator is that it has no suspension, its pretty rough to ride across the field. I'm not even sure if it could hold 600lbs. Thanks for watching - Mike
