Absolutely love your new corral system. It is so logical. It shows how one man can manage the whole handling of a herd safely and alone. Good planning. Thanks for showing us.
Wishing everyone here on Our Wyoming life a very Happy & safe Thanksgiving. Great video Mike as always thanks for taking us along with you today. Take Care & God Bless all.
Hi Mike my name is Brandon I just recently found your channel through one of our subscribers that told us about your channel. My family and I’ve watched several videos of yours now and all I can say is you’ve got really good video content. Hope you you and your family have a happy Thanksgiving.
You have yourself a nice looking flock of young calves there Mike! That bail feeder may well enhance the growth potential for your flocks too with increased consumption and lessened waste. Hope you and your family have a Safe, Healthy, and Happy Thanksgiving! -Bob...
That hay distribution has got to be much more efficient and cost-effective!!!!!! Looks like an awesome piece of equipment to have on the ranch!!!!I Y'all have a SAFE and HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!
So enjoy watching you work the cattle. Seems the bellowing has stopped. Separation anxiety 🥴 Thank you Mike as always! See you next week and Happy Thanksgiving.🦃
2 questions, have your considered/asked/ pondered if you could get a buried culvert under the highway so you could drive the cattle between properties.? 2 have you shown or done the math in eventually keeping your animals to final market size and keep all the $$ without selling to a feedlot?
Howdy from west Texas! Good video! That poor cow dragging her hoof. I know you give a great deal of care to these cattle, so I know you care about her too. Check her foot and see what’s amiss. I’ve see. You do C sections...you care. Check it out my friend!
It looked like the trouble was up in the stifle area, not the foot. He can let her rest and see if it gets better, but in my experience it only gets worse.
@@nebraskafarmer9015 Thank you from this Iowa girl (Council Bluffs, transplanted in TX). I appreciate your expertise. I’m ignorant about livestock, but I could sure tell she was in pain.
Hi. I've watched a good few of your videos. You're lucky to have your confidence and self esteem, and physical and mental abilities, and most of all resilience and inner confidence. glad it's worked for you. It's the inner confidence and resilience and esteem that is the fundamental foundation and the rest is very hard to build or hold together without those.
Maybe the title should be "Moooving the calves"😄! I know, sick pun, but I couldn't help it. Thanks for sharing Mike and have a great Thanksgiving this year.
Happy Thanksgiving Mike and family. I'm thankful for farmers and ranchers putting in the extra work to provide food on my family's table! Thanks for all you do.
Good video Mike. Im curious, have you ever heard of windrow grazing? Ive been exploring new methods and manners of winter feeding and came across that method. It sounds very interesting, but as with any farming, it takes timing and luck to come out right.
Thanks for a great video. The best to you and yours at this; really messed up, holiday season. Take the time and enjoy that beautiful family of yours. Holiday Wishes.
How do you feed the creepfeed? Because i suspect you don't want the horses to eat/hog that stuff either. Here we have creepfeeders that won't allow cows in, only calves. Those licktubs would work in there to.
Looks like with this new hay feeder you need a modification to either the tractor or the feeder. A "dinner bell" so the calves that were half an acre away know it is time to eat. Just joking I'm sure they will catch on if they get hungry enough. Not sure if cattle can see John Deere green or not. How many horses do you have, if you only have a few would it not be better to move them either in with the bulls or back across the road with the other cows? That way the calves could benefit from the new licks.
Very good video! Excited to see how easy the Arrowquip system works for you loading all those calves by yourself! Also I’m glad all went smooth for the move. Sorry that you can’t use the lick barrels. Do they make one that is safe for the horses or will you just feed other supplements to them? Will be interesting to find out. Good luck with the calves and have a wonderful Thanksgiving! God Bless! ❤️
Hey Mike, maybe you can try another mineral lick for horses and cows. That hay bale roller really cool it rolls the bales out in no time. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family 🦃🍽😋😉
I like your videos, but when you point the camera into the sun we really can't see a whole lot. I've noticed this a few times. Thought you might want to know. You are great though! I run cows and calve in the Spring also in southwest Kansas. Keep doing a great job!
@@miriambertram2448 The supplement contains rumensin which cannot be broken down by non ruminating animals which then becomes toxic. Rumensin (monensin) is a specialized type of antibiotic known as an ionophore that improves rate of weight gain in growing cattle. Rumensin® works in the following three ways: Promotes the growth of gram negative bacteria by reducing gram positive bacteria in the rumen. Gram negative bacteria promote increased gain in cattle by increasing the amount of propionic acid produced, which acts as an energy source for cattle. Reducing methane production (an energy loss) in the rumen. Rumensin also decreases the breakdown of natural proteins in the rumen, thereby increasing the amount of by-pass protein.
Mike, question for you. Will you or can you ship the thanksgiving boxes to Canada. Don’t know if that’s possible with the border being closed. Can you include shipping costs or is shipping included. Thanks Mike
I do tie-dye on Etsy and ship to Canada frequently....at least I did before covid. There are really long delays right now. I mailed two shirts to Edmonton on Sept 8th and they haven't gotten there yet. They're not guaranteeing deliveries so I'm not shipping any more outside the U.S. until this is over. I'd wait if I were you.

A one-person operation sometimes happens! Let us know if you'd like more info, Lois. :)
The arrowequip looked like it made your job much easier than before.
That new tub and panels seem like they are awesome for one person to load cattle out of 👍
Wishing everyone here on Our Wyoming life a very Happy & safe Thanksgiving. Great video Mike as always thanks for taking us along with you today. Take Care & God Bless all.
I must say MIKE you make cattle farming look " COOL " !!!!!!!!
That Arrowquip system makes life look so easy ! I would love to have just 1/2 of it.
Thank you for letting us into your life. Hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Same to you and your family
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 too you all!👍🏾😀❤️🇺🇸
Happy Thanksgiving!!
You guys have a great Thanksgiving as well.
I thought that first load was going out the gate onto the hi-way. Then I remembered the cattle guard. Duh.
At 1:30ish IMPRESSIVE already got them doing chicken imitations 😉😷
Mike I must say it looks like you could use a cattle pod trailer and semi to help you
How do you feed the creepfeed? Because i suspect you don't want the horses to eat/hog that stuff either. Here we have creepfeeders that won't allow cows in, only calves. Those licktubs would work in there to.
I miss our farm
Hey Mike creep feed has an ionophor in it too
Mike, you mentioned that this way takes a little more time. What's time to a calf? Lol
Looks like with this new hay feeder you need a modification to either the tractor or the feeder. A "dinner bell" so the calves that were half an acre away know it is time to eat. Just joking I'm sure they will catch on if they get hungry enough. Not sure if cattle can see John Deere green or not. How many horses do you have, if you only have a few would it not be better to move them either in with the bulls or back across the road with the other cows? That way the calves could benefit from the new licks.
Are you keeping any heifers for replacements out of this bunch
Very good video! Excited to see how easy the Arrowquip system works for you loading all those calves by yourself! Also I’m glad all went smooth for the move. Sorry that you can’t use the lick barrels. Do they make one that is safe for the horses or will you just feed other supplements to them? Will be interesting to find out.

We'd love to hear how you thought it went, Judy. :)
@@Arrowquip he made it look easy! Pretty nifty system....I wish we had something like that when I was growing up.
What is the fence like structure behind the trailer in the calf lot?
Did you get rid of the ford pickup truck
Smooth move don’t forget to turn your scale back about 10lbs before thanksgiving
are you keeping new heffers on the farm??
Hey Mike, maybe you can try another mineral lick for horses and cows. That hay bale roller really cool it rolls the bales out in no time. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family 🦃🍽😋😉
Hi, I was wondering what the blue and turquoise tags were for?? Happy Thanksgiving to all!
Have a very nice Thanksgiving. Just how big is that pasture that you moved the calves into? Looks nice n big for them to roam
Where did the Cab Over truck come from? I don't remember it from other videos.
He got it from his neighbor Gary a few months back.
1:32 what kind of latch is that?
How much did the whole corral system cost you
I think it was a sponsorship kinda deal, Mike advertises for arrowquip and arrowquip provided him with the corral system I think
I like your videos, but when you point the camera into the sun we really can't see a whole lot. I've noticed this a few times. Thought you might want to know. You are great though! I run cows and calve in the Spring also in southwest Kansas. Keep doing a great job!
Your own little cattle drive!
Can't you move the horses to another field/location?
I expect there is a reason for the horses. I wouldn't know.

HAHA That crowded load I had guessed 18 calves
Must be only a 16ft trailor
What’s the story on the semi? And have you always had that duramax?
Is there a reason you don't use the bud flow tub the way it is usually used?
Looked like the calves were cooperative with him so he probably didn't need to
How many miles do you walk every day?
Mike do not have to cover those bales in field in Ireland go bad with rain
Will they not get fed anymore getting kicked out
Would it be possible or cost effective to have one of those under-road-tunnels?
I doubt that government will allow it, plus the cost will be $$$ that Mike needs to pay
I may have missed it... but what size trailer is that?
I once had 17 hd of approx 500 lbrs on my 16ft trailer and it was "packed". Lol
I am moving to Wyoming TO live in the mountains
Mike, question for you. Will you or can you ship the thanksgiving boxes to Canada. Don’t know if that’s possible with the border being closed. Can you include shipping costs or is shipping included. Thanks Mike

Thanks Deb. My thoughts exactly, wait till Covid is over and the border reopens. Maybe next spring, fingers crossed
