We should ALL have a Jeff in our lives. Someone to work side by side with, someone to share the good and bad with, someone to lean on when it all becomes too much to handle. You are blessed to have Jeff.....and he is blessed to have you. Still praying for rain here for you.
Erin is an amazing person! She is smart, works hard and efficiently. The quality of what she does is fantastic. I'm sure we also have only seen a fraction of what she does, you are a great example Erin!
Jeff is a awesome guy helping you. I have to say I'm a jealous of Jeff. I always wanted to help a farmer. Supporting local farmers is awesome thing to do.
I hope Jeff stays long enough to go thru hay season on the ranch. He is a true blessing being there and helping out. But I believe it is a bigger blessing for him being there
I always love your videos, you have the best speaking voice of anyone in any Video, your vocabulary and your diction could easily put you in front of the most demanding professional mic in any major broadcasting studio. Plus I love your family and patriotic values. Thanks...
I feel bad about your hay situation cause I know here in Central New York you can get a big round bale for $40 a bale. Love watching your channel, always educational, laid right out for the truth about Ranching life. No better place to raise your beautiful family and Jeff. Wishing yous the best !!!
Just down the road in Western NY here off rte 390. Watching Mike's struggle points out just how many fields around here haven't been cut. The grass is chest high and thick. Wish we could send it out there to him, his cows would eat themselves sick....
The thing is Wyoming has had no rain. New York has had alot of rain so the farmers here have to do hay in between the rain. Just yesterday gave a farmer a ride to his truck. He showed me one small area where he mowed was so wet he couldn't bale it. But we do have more hay than out west. Don't even know of anyone that has even got to a 2nd cutting yet. Why can't neighbors of all working backgrounds even out of state, the next state over help each other. You have a few extra bales of hay, donate it to your neighbor Rancher/Farmer. You own a rig truck some hay to a neighbor. My father always told us growing up one hand washes the other. Your neighbor may need a favor someday. The weather/climate has gotten crazy.
@@denisemmunger9437 The farmers out here are on 3rd cutting already. Yes, there are wet spots, but it's hilly enough that most land is really well drained. I have 85 acres of woods and corn fields with only a couple spots I can't get into. Everything else is going crazy.
Your children are growing so quickly, it seems. Happy 8th, Grace. I think Jeff has become "Uncle Jeff" to your kids. I don't blame him, they're nice kids.
Still praying for you to get rain. Every time I see bails sitting in fields here in NE Tennessee I think of our farmers out there in the drought areas.
The late Zig Zigler, pastor/promotional speaker, used to hand out a small round plastic item, shaped as a golfball marker, to everyone who attended one of his events. Printed on it were the words "To it"! It was to encourage everyone to not procrastinate in life. Do it now cause you already have your "round to it"! Words to ponder...
Jeff is wonderful helper on the ranch it’s his way on saying it’s just not for me put for you and Erin and the family the love and passion you all put into the ranch and helping others.
Man those are insane prices. We got 300 bales off our ranch and still have to buy another 300 at least. Keep an eye out from a message from me i may have some hay for you.
I wish I had a flatbed a semi from here Missouri cuz I could give them two or three loads but it's so damn far I hate to see a farmer sell their cows because of shortage it breaks my heart
@@kevintanner4881 Is there any rail road crossings landings that are still in use Maybe you could arrange a train load Our area in Ontario sent a train load out west years ago when there was a drought
Mike don't stress over nothing put it in God's hands everything will work out on the ranch love watching your weekly Roundup vidgas been watching you for about 2 years now just was never one to comment I just watched your content but I'm with Jeff you're really good people you can tell that through the vidjas lol hope you guys have wonderful week god bless your people and the ranch
I've been thinking over the last few weeks while watching this that rail shipment HAS to be cheaper than trucking. Here in NY we've had a wet summer and could fill trains faster than they could schedule them....
You're lucky to have a friend who is willing to come help out. I am always available if you ever need a truck driver. I flew freight and people for many years, then drove a truck over the road for many more. Now I'm retired and always looking for an adventure. Good luck with the hay situation.
Man I can't even imagine the stress urngoing through with the water and hay keep ur head up u got this also try to keep Jeff on the ranch for as long as possible
I love this new format. I’m so sorry about the hay situation. Erin’s spread of vegetables was gorgeous...she is so gifted. What a Godsend Jeff has been. I understand what he means by saying his happiness at helping you is all the payment he needs. Blessings on you all. ❤️
Great video n great job. I miss d days wen kids were young! Everything is awsome to them n make dad feel like a super hero. I remember wen big bales were only 45$$ for a 2000lb bale. I feel n we all pray 4 uall out dere.! God bless uall n as said We all pray atleast most of us pray for uall
Based on the hair cut in Jeff’s high school picture and the hair cut in my high school picture; please thank that young man for the help he is giving you on the ranch.
You have it tough saving hay. We don't really get the weather here in Ireland for hay, also the ground gets soft from all the rain, and it's difficult to travel on. We mainly do silage. Wrapped round bales. I don't feel so bad when I see how hard others like you have it. Best wishes, love the channel.😀
The first thing that crossed my mind when I saw those hogs was "dang, they need to go to town" ! And I know pretty much nothing about hogs-thank you very much-after a 800 lb sow like to climb over a fence at me (and it was a SHORT fence) when I was 13 y/o. Anyway-keep checking NE for hay, here in the SE corner of the state we have had so MUCH rain that I've wished to share with you guys, you may find a deal. If it's not been downpoured on...not sure what NE Nebraska has. Keep on keepin' on. And bless you and the gang for the help you give to the community--the BEST food!! :)
I just happened upon your channel two days ago and I have been binge watching so many videos. I have just fell in love with your calves and pigs, and even the chickens. I am a country girl, but y’all really have an awesome job, and home life in my opinion. Much more work than I expected and you have given me a different outlook on the price of my meat that I buy from Butcher Box. I heard you say something in a video about trying that. The meat I buy at the store vs butcher box can’t compare. I personally want to thank you for treating your animals like I do my dogs. I used to breed boxers , and I thought that was a lot of work. Well for me it was. I still own 7 boxers and they are treated like children. No more breeding for now, until I feel better. Just wanted to drop you a line and wanted to say hey to you and your family
Love your videos and seeing your ranch/farm. We live in NC & it looks so different in Wyoming. Your land looks bare with no tree's, but still a beautiful place on God's Earth. Thanks for sharing your life. ❤🙏
Happy Birthday 🎂🎉🎈 Grace 🎊🎉🎊.🐦. 🐒🍧🌰 JO JO IN VT 💕😄 Crooks so damn Sorry 😱. Wow Erin , the store looks Spit Shinin and Pretty🐦. Chunky Monkey s they grew out Well! This Little Piggy... Thanks Mike Erin and Jeff👍.
I’m sure the hay Erin found will at least help your winter feeding. I really enjoyed the Farm Store. First time I’ve seen the interior and how she stocks it. Take Care
I got to say as these daily vlog video’s progress they get better and Better. Love seeing the week In review and what actually goes into a day at OWL. No two days are the same!
So upsetting to see you all struggling to get hay, yet farmers are selling hay to China. I keep praying for all our ranchers that things will get better. I keep checking your live cam and hoping to see rain for you all, enough rain to refill all the watering holes and help the grass to grow. I just wish there were a way I could help. Erin sure has the knack for growing veggies. She is such an amazing lady with all that she does and accomplishes. But, you can tell how much she really loves every minute of it and able to help others. Jeff is AWESOME! I don't know how his wife keeps up with him. I wish I had his energy. His values and morals are very rare. Mrs. Jeff made a great choice when she accepted his proposal, she knew she was getting a real and awesome man. God Bless and protect you all as you continue to support your family and community.
Grass hay and alfalfa have been exported to Japan and Australia for 30+ years. Increased in 2000 and hay prices here doubled. Now with drought in so much of the western USA and fields have burned with bales still in the field hay prices are skyrocketing and will only get worse as long as the supply lasts. I paid $385.00 for 1 ton of alfalfa early last week. I too am worked. Growers are making a bundle on hay this year.
Thanks for sharing your week! Happy belated birthday Grace!!! I hope you have a great year! 🌻🎂🌻 Best wishes on finding affordable hay. 3 years ago I had to buy hay 500 miles away in another state. It was a difficult year! It's really not fair to the farmer how the auction method goes. We're the only part to the cycle of beef production that doesn't get a chance to name our price. Garden looks great, as well as the Farm Store. I wish we had a way to have a store. Jeff's doing a great job, and I know he'll be missed when he goes back home. Keep up the great work and I pray everything gets better soon! 🙏
Mike, it was so good to finally meet you and Erin. Jeff is a hoot. Told me he was going to remove “of the month” from his plaque, and just leave “employee”. Your Jerkey made it back to Colorado, won’t last long, and those pickled eggs were great. I hope we can make it to the festivities next June and spend some more time with you. Like Jeff, I agree you folks are the salt of the earth, and your determination is a bench mark for us all.
We just did a week-long driving trip through Western Wyoming and saw a lot of hay being baled. Even saw some stacked that looked like it had been stacked for a season or more. Too bad you can’t get some of that rather than trucking it in from out of state. Jeff is a definite blessing to you.
Great interview with Jeff! What a blessing!! Thank you, Jeff, for all you do! Saddened by what the drought costs you and the other farmers. Others have lost crops in other places due to the over abundance of rain. Not knowing the future could drive you crazy , if you let it. God is in control. Your faith will get you through. Love to a beautiful family and good friends to help you! Happy Birthday, Grace!
Have you heard of the fodder grow systems? It’s sprouting barley or other grain in a grow room on shelves and hydroponic system for watering and grow lights. 1 pound of grain sprouts into 5 pounds of fodder. There’s a bunch of videos here on UA-cam and might be cheaper than buying hay this year. Depending on grain price.
@@OurWyomingLife I am looking at systems myself for just a 50 cow herd. Ready to go self contained systems are expensive but I found cheaper ones on Alibaba.com that ship out of China. Just set it up in a building I have already for heat and water. Only downfall is getting the grain and having to go through the process of setting and soaking grain for the trays then hauling out to the cows daily. I’ll attach the link anyways. Not sure if UA-cam will let it go through. Check out this product on Alibaba App Automatic hydroponics microgreen grow system fodder tray
I feel like the ranch is surviving off the ranch store, and the youtube channel this year, and the RV camping. Multiple sources of income being the key to survival while the ranch struggles due to drought. Sort of out of everyone's hands there except the good attitude part.
That all depends on if they own the mineral rights. We have five gas wells on our place and do not own the mineral rights to what is pumped out. Can’t always assume...
@@nottodayfolks4923 Farming and ranching isn't about the money. I really have no idea about the oil rigs, but I do know they have some side income besides just the ranch. I mean I could rent the farmhouse, or stay on an RV pad up there. They also use the store to sell produce they grow. So in a way they could be slightly better off than some of the neighbors, but it is still tough.
I love "happy weeks". Happy Birthday, Gracie!!! Stores look great and I'm glad Lincoln got to enjoy time with dad. In my "eyes" Jeff it's not about money-giving your time, ideas and energy. Your help is not only good for them and a good thing to do, it makes you happier and healthier too. Remember all these individuals are giving also connects us to others, creating stronger communities and helping to build stronger societies for everyone. P.S. Unfortunately, I didn't see wanted poster of Jeff in my Post Office. LOL
Good morning OWL, just watching the webcams and weekly vlog for this week with my morning coffee, soooo relaxing, got antelope in view again, have a great week :-)
Happy Birthday Grace, and all others who have August birthdays, mine is near the end of the month. Thanks for the video Mike. And nice to see some green grass. And an idea for those that want to have land, and farm. Maybe get together with others and buy land, farm and do it together. Or buy land with a few people and let others farm it, and split the profits, or losses. A few people, families community farming.
We should ALL have a Jeff in our lives. Someone to work side by side with, someone to share the good and bad with, someone to lean on when it all becomes too much to handle. You are blessed to have Jeff.....and he is blessed to have you. Still praying for rain here for you.
We should all BE a Jeff in someone else’s life.
I need a Jeff!
As we age, payment takes on different forms. Sometimes, forward is best.
It was an honor to meet you, Jeff. Nice edit, Mike.
Erin is an amazing person! She is smart, works hard and efficiently. The quality of what she does is fantastic. I'm sure we also have only seen a fraction of what she does, you are a great example Erin!
You are a great man. Jeff thank you
Jeff reminds me of my dad. A man who loves life and doing good and doesn’t know what to do with himself if he’s not working… I miss my dad.
Jeff is a awesome guy helping you. I have to say I'm a jealous of Jeff. I always wanted to help a farmer. Supporting local farmers is awesome thing to do.
Yay a small segment of Erin in the Garden
Happy Birthday GRACE!
I hope Jeff stays long enough to go thru hay season on the ranch. He is a true blessing being there and helping out. But I believe it is a bigger blessing for him being there
They Aren’t haying This year
I would LOVE to help out on your ranch! I will go through your DUMP and sort it out, so we can find more projects to do.
They have no hay season for at least the 2nd year due to the drought in northeastern Wyoming. Jeff's help is a blessing for Our Wyoming Life. 💘 🇺🇸
I always love your videos, you have the best speaking voice of anyone in any Video, your vocabulary and your diction could easily put you in front of the most demanding professional mic in any major broadcasting studio. Plus I love your family and patriotic values. Thanks...
YAYYYYYYYYYY JEFF!!!!! YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!
Happy birthday, Grace!! 🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🧸🧸🧸🧸🧸🧸
Jeff worth his weight in gold. Watering all those cattle is a full time job alone. Almost sad to see how thirsty they were.

Has any farm organization there talked to the railroads about hauling hay back to the PRB area in all those empty hopper cars ?
I've been thinking over the last few weeks while watching this that rail shipment HAS to be cheaper than trucking. Here in NY we've had a wet summer and could fill trains faster than they could schedule them....
The trains in that area haul coal and the cars aren't compatable to hauling hay bales.
@@vivianwinford3681 I can easily but a dozen 5x6 in a 210000 hopper with all below the sides, getting them our is the only issue

Happy Birthday Grace! We share the same birthday only quite a few years apart.
I just baled about 60 good large round bales in northern Colorado that I would sell you a lot cheaper than that if you can figure out trucking.
Erin, the farm store is wonderful. Love the way you display everything. So fresh, colorful and just charming.
I’m sure the hay Erin found will at least help your winter feeding. I really enjoyed the Farm Store. First time I’ve seen the interior and how she stocks it. Take Care
Wow, the picture of the wall with those veggies Y'ALL GREW is IMPRESSIVE!! That is a success - so much hard work!! Congratulations 👏 👍⭐

Better. Love seeing the week In review and what actually goes into a day at OWL. No two days are the same!
Great looking garden
Nice job on the store Erin!
175-250 is what I’m seeing here in Utah. That price will go up as winter gets closer. It’s nail biting worry at this point.
I agree Jeff, they are but so are you thx.
Howdy Mike, those pigs sure where "hamming" it up for the camera.... Have A Day! ;~)

Farmers are often unlikely to sell off hay if they need it locally or for themselves.

Your help is not only good for them and a good thing to do, it makes you happier and healthier too. Remember all these individuals are giving also connects us to others, creating stronger communities and helping to build stronger societies for everyone.
P.S. Unfortunately, I didn't see wanted poster of Jeff in my Post Office. LOL

Happy Birthday Grace, and all others who have August birthdays, mine is near the end of the month. Thanks for the video Mike. And nice to see some green grass. And an idea for those that want to have land, and farm. Maybe get together with others and buy land, farm and do it together. Or buy land with a few people and let others farm it, and split the profits, or losses. A few people, families community farming.
