As a person with a disability, the Matt comment pissed me off too! Don't tell us what we can or can't do. We understand our limits because we live with them every day. I work cows, cut hay and do MOST all of the farm chores. Matt keep doin you my friend!!! Mike, it awesome youre such a good friend.
Totally agree!!!
100% agree! Another person with a disability. Cheering Matt on!!!
I am glad I am not the only one with disabilities that was pissed off by that comment about Matt.
Well said, what a refreshing comment! You’re definitely not the only one with a disability who raises an eye brow on that one! 😬
Thank you John. I have MS also. Just like Matt. Being a Chicago policeman he might not have been able to handle, I don't know his background. I live near Chicago and it's a tough area to police, I'm sure. But, living with MS myself, I know my limitations everyday. It also changes daily. I imagine Matt wouldn't do anything to harm that calf if he felt he couldn't get the job done. Just bc we have "disabilities" does NOT make us useless!
Matt is a prime example of someone who soldiers on doing what ever he wants in spite of the troubles his body is experiencing! Good job Matt! Thank you Mike for appreciating Matt's value!
I love Matt and the fact that you allow him the joy he finds on your ranch is awesome. Some people need to keep there thoughts to themselves. God bless you Mike and that beautiful family of yours.
Yep, I agree 100%….well said!
I was really surprised someone said that about Matt.
They apparently don't know what its like to fulfill a desire to work while still able ESPECIALLY if, say, working on a ranch is a dream. I dont know the circumstances as I am a new viewer and really didn't know Matt had a health issue. Couldn't tell. I would have been awkward first few times tagging.
Heck I have pieced ears. Multiple over the years..no pain there.
Mike, you all do what you can to make all the animals happy and safe. Sometimes it just doesn't work out. Mother nature can be brutal sometimes. I pray the rest of calving season goes well for you all.
Good to see Matt and Jeff both back on the Ranch! Sorry about your calf I was so sad when I saw that sentences at the end. You and the calf worked so hard! Take care!
It was a very emotional experience.
I can see how devoted you and your family are to your farm. Don't let the negative get to you. Best wishes from Ireland 🇮🇪 😀
I was watching Marty running and it reminded me of a three year old running and squealing having a ball!! Thanks Mike!
Don’t let people that say bad things or say things that hurt you we all have feelings and i find people can be very cold so I do the same thing I don’t read none of them anymore because they don’t understand what it is like to run a farm and every farm is different and you are doing very good with your farm so keep up the good work and don’t let people hurt you
Sometimes people say bad things not because of the person they are saying them to, but because they are just feeling really rotten. And they lash out.
Most people are ignorant of the task, but love to judge as if they know what they're talking about!

Mat is awesome he has ms n does great job taking care of the animals keep ur great work up mat sir 👍👍👍
Mike sorry for #1 you and Erin did everything you could. Sometimes it's just never enough. I've ordered jerky in the past. New order coming this week. I'll do everything I can to help support your family and the ranch. Look at the bright side, Kenzie will be running the show soon. It's in her blood you can see it now.
Did he lose the one he brought into the bathtub last video?
@@badassmother1426 Yes he did #1 passed about 5 hours after being reunited with mom
My friend, this old man’s heart hurts for y’all that you have to deal cutting or snide remarks! You’re doing yeoman’s work, and I, for what it’s worth, admire you and the whole family for your innovative and well-thought out approach to the vagaries of ranching. Rock on!
P.S. I really miss farming and now that I am unable I live vicariously through your family. Thank you!
I really hope Marty beats the odds and can reproduce! God Bless and hope the rest of calving goes great!
Wow already 15 episodes of the 30 in 30. Wishing you all a blessed weekend and Easter. 🐣🍬
thanks,Happy Easter to you all too
Happy Easter day. All and may the good Lord bless you all keep you all safe
Please keep doin' what you're doin' and how you're doin' it and sometimes takin' us along for the ride. Love the channel!
After that depressing, but realistic video yesterday, it was so great to watch Marty run around the barn! Sure brought a big smile to my face. Thanks.
Your cows aren’t weird, Mike! Ours segregate themselves off as well….it’s just a cow thing. Ours also take turns to babysit the calf day care (that’s what I call it). Our calves even form their own little gangs, that I call brat packs…🤣😂
Thanks for another great 30 in 30, we look forward to each one. Stay positive and know that most of us who are also ranchers support you and think you’re doing a great job caring for your livestock and your family!! See y’all tomorrow! 😊
Mike I appreciate you and your family along with Matt & Jeff for always sharing with us. Thank you
The more I watch your videos, the more I like you, Erin, your family, Jeff, and of course, Matt. You're down to earth people. The realities of what you do are not always pleasant to experience, or watch, but its Life. This kind of work is rugged, its tough, and I give you huge Kudos for not letting it kick you down, give up, and complain. Quitters never win. Success breeds success, so keep doing what you're doing. Happy to see Marty full of life and doing well. I wish you a Peaceful Easter Weekend!
Well Mike let's face it my friend you an Erin are very popular 😉. Don't let the *** holes ruin it for the good people like me an my family. I drive a truck an go home after 2 or 3 months. The highlight of my day is a video of how the day went. Look forward to them.
I'm a Farmer....we are proud of our Truckers
@@jeanneshannon5607 I started in the trucking industry 42 years ago working on a union freight dock an worked my way up. Retired in 2010 an couldn't stand it. Bought my own truck an I have never looked back. God I love it So much. Lol. HAPPY EASTER. My Easter is at flying j in Whiteland Indiana. Lol lol.
@@thomaswilson8634 Flying J for Easter...Happy Easter to you from Virginia!!!! Thank you for your dedication
@@jeanneshannon5607 Truckers are the heartbeat of america
Screw Cody and his hay! He's just rubbing it in. What a jerk, but you already knew that.
Love the content...keep it coming please!! 👍👍👍
So glad for the q&a.
I think it's awesome that Matt helps out where and when he feels like it.
I've had 2 friends with MS and they both told me that they were grateful to do whatever they could.
Marty looked to be having so much fun letting you chase after her.
Does Ethel always turn her head back and forth from one side to the other?
So enjoy you sharing your day to day things for others to see.
Have a great evening.
Mackenzie it is so wonderful that you play the cello. You should do a short video for us all to listen to.
Hey big bob here me and my family love your ranching and the great job your family dose in all you do.planning to order lots of meat,and jerky.love your friend and glad Jeff is back.keep up the great job sorry for your calf loss god bless.california.
So sorry y’all lost #1, even after all the work you and Erin put into reviving him.😔
Mike I have been with you for several years and every thing was a positive things you do for the ranch and your family. plus teaching others where real life of living is. All i can say Mike dis regard the freaks and do what you do best. be our friend
Mike you keep doing what you do and it's all good. I so appreciated seeing the little one play. It is all about the simple joy being around animals and family.
Thank you to you and your family for sharing your farm and you life’s with all of Us.. I usually don’t comment on videos., Cuz a lot of times I watch UA-cam on my Big screen TV and it doesn’t allow comment ! Just wanted to say thanks love See All the animals 👍🏻
We all have disabilities whether they be physical, emotional or intellectual and those disabilities may be obvious or invisible. Matt may have a disability, but having MS does not mean that he is unable to be productive on the ranch. Only Matt can determine what he is comfortable in doing and from what I've seen, he is adding value to the ranch.
Hi Mike no need to answer my comments just want you to know how much all of your Videos mean to us. Learning so much love all of your videos heartbreaking when you lost number one yesterday but so up lifting the way you dealt with it all keep it up
Thank you for the content that you are doing. It makes me appreciate where my food comes from.
Always love seeing your videos. You and Erin do a fantastic job of educating and entertaining your audience. Keep up the good work.
Don't let the negative comments get to you, I know its easier said than done, but you guys are amazing. Matt you sir are a rock star!!! I suffer from a disability as well and to see you out doing what you are doing on the ranch makes me so happy for you. Keep up the fantastic job and doing what you enjoy.
You and your family matt and Jeff as well are very much appreciated. Thank you for sharing your story with us.
We have a very small farm with donkeys and cows in north Georgia… you are why we got into raising our own beef… and we give them the best life we can while we have them before they go to processing camp!!! We also started gardening after watching Erin… you both have taught us so much and we love that you are so well spoken and you speak so much on the business side of it which we learn from!!! Please don’t let negative people weigh on you because the good you and your family pass on is a million times more than any negative people who don’t have a clue what you do and do through!!! I spent a month In Wyoming when I was 13 on horseback and rodeos and fell I love with the place!!! You and your family have got more grit than most people in the world for what you do, where you do, every single day!!! Thank you for all you do!!! Anytime we are facing a cow question, we look for a video you might have on it first!!! Thank you for encouraging the small farmers like us to do what we love and love what we do!!!
Loved the Q & A Mike. Sorry for the loss of #1 y'all are doing an awesome job. So happy you've got Matt & Jeff to give you a hand. I've been watching for a couple years & I'm still impressed with what you & Erin do with educating ppl. with where their food comes from Great job. Take care and God Bless
I thank you and Erin for all you do. ❤ Your kids and ranch hands too..
Your show is awesome! You and Erin are great! Matt is down right inspirational! I can't understand how crass some people can be. Go get 'em Matt!
Marty steals the show again. It was great to see her run around the barn the way she was. She’s full of life.
Suggestion: I tag the steer calves in the right ear, and heifer calves in the left ear. It makes them easier to sort in the fall. Love your videos. 30-30 is great!
We give our heftier and steers different color tags
Yes that’s a good idea! I give mine different color tags as well but different sides is a great idea!!
Keep up the good work Mike,Erin Mat and Jeff. I enjoy watching your videos. 😊
Mike want you to know you have been making my day told myself 44 years ago I’d never come back to Wyoming. We sold our ranch 12 years ago and now I’m back 2 hours from you please keep the videos coming.
Q and A is great. Keep up all the good work. Enjoy all the "ranch hands".
You do a wonderful job with your animals. Keep up the great work. Have a wonderful Easter. Praying for rain.
So sorry for the loss of #1. Makes my heart hurt for y'all, you worked so hard to save that baby! I love your channel good and bad 💖. Blessings to you and your family. Matt and and Jeff too😁
The beef jerky i ordered was amazing 😋. Keep up the good work guys. Hello from Miami 305
For what it's worth, I think you guys do a great job and I really enjoy watching you.
I love the way you talk to your cattle and even give them treats..shows you appreciate your animals
Good evening Mike and Erin, You are a wonderful, loving farming family, and its our pleasure that you share your love with us. Forget the "nay-sayers"......what was that saying once, that you can't please all of the people all the time:....I know that is not quite it, but heck.....You are doing your job...and, you are not doing it to 'please" people. I am honored that you share with us. Matt and Jeff are great additions, in that they know how your operation works, and can just jump in, to do whatever needs to be done. Your QandA session was neat. I am one, that will read lot of the comments.....just to see how folks perceive things on the ranch. I am loving this 30/30, know its extra work for you, but I will be sad when it goes back to 2 times a week. Have a Joyous Easter.....Bev in Maine
This video was GREAT!!! Best part was Marty running you ragged... looked fun! I love watching the symbiosis of the Ranch... the Circle of Life... We all need to be reminded. Especially the idjits who are insulting! Keep doing you!
Matt, your doing a great job on the ranch! Thank you all for doing the 30/30! I look forward to seeing all of you! You to Mike! Lol!
Great way of handling those comments Mike. When it comes to Matt and the calf. As long as you showed him proper tag placement and he didn't leave that calf with a droopy ear, more power to him for getting out there and doing what he wants. That is far better than some out there that don't even have a disability.
Loved to watch Marty drink and run around. As a retired teacher, I enjoy all you teach us. Thank you.
Praying for your family and other families for rain. We pray for the victories and the losses. You live a blessed life and we are blessed because you choose to share it with us. Have a Blessed day!
Thanks for sharing your life with us all. I have learned so much, and still keep learning from you, and your wonderful family.
Thank you for answering my question about cake. Cotton seeds are often fed to the cows/livestock in Virginia. Turning them into a "cereal" as a treat makes sense.
I personally love watching your clips every night- more entertaining than the network news! Great job! Sorry to hear about #1
Rest easy #1. I don’t comment a lot but I don’t miss an episode I am a single mom and small business owner so I completely understand being overwhelmed and super busy. I couldn’t imagine having to keep up with what y’all do. Sending love from your Nebraska neighbor. BTW I will be in Sheridan this summer maybe I will come by the store if I get over that way on my trip!
Marty is so cute running and playing. ❤️
That little black calf acts like a puppy. That is sooo cute. It warms my heart.
Thank you for answering some questions!👍👏🤗
Sending much love to you all and Matt. Happy Good Friday and Easter Weekend!
Loved the format today.. loved Marty being so spunky! It was great to see you having fun with her. Momna cat was definitely pissed at you disturbing her.. lol can only imagine the words she used!
Your show is great, thanks for teaching us about ranching!
Feeling so bad about #1 and for you all. You and Erin were awesome in your efforts to save him.
I can’t believe how rude people are! Just know there are a lot of us you support you all! Congratulations Kenzie! You go girl! Tell Matt and Jeff hello! Thank its great to see them both! I loved the Q&A!
I know that this a old video but I think thst you and Erin are doing a fabulous job with your ranch. I have been subscribed to your channel for maybe little over a year and your videos are very well made and I have learned some very valuable things by watching Our Wyoming Life! Mike and Erin keep up the awesome work that you do and I will keep watching. Oh I hope that Jeff and Matt are doing well and I also think that they both do an amazing job there on the ranch. I'm very impressed with what Matt does and I think that he shows people that he can do anything he wants to even if does have MS. Keep up the great work Matt 👍
Your direct to market approach is essential to solving the major challenges of our food supply chain. Small and medium size farmers and ranchers need to learn from your videos. Not just the ranching content, but how to sell direct and promote a product. Every video provides information ranching combined with insights on marketing, shipping, distribution and direct sales. Being a rancher planning to start direct to consumer sales, I get a lot from your videos. Keep up the great work.
I'm disabled as well so it's nice seeing someone else who is disabled be able to ranch and do what they like. That balance can be hard for us to find because our bodies can't always do what our hearts or minds want to. You having Matt on the channel means a lot to someone like me! I'm glad to see him tag calves and have a good time with his friends.
❤ Blessings to you and your family! Thank you for letting me follow you around your farm.
I’m a retired hard rock miner (taconite) from Minnesota, but helped a neighbor with beef cattle. I see you doing things very similar. I enjoy watching your videos, they bring back some fond memories.
Good evening to Our Wyoming Life and all others too. Hope everyone is doing alright have a safe Easter weekend feel sorry for lost of the calf.
Keep going Matt. Do whatever you can do. Fight through the pain. You are an inspiration for those of us with mobility issues.
One of the most important things for a man battling a debilitating disease is to get out and be active. To have a purpose, and in being needed, have a sense of accomplishment. Matt is doing what gives him joy. After a life of service, it is fantastic that he has a friend like you to give him that opportunity.
Really enjoying your 30 in 30! We’re rooting for you guys!
I love farming it was my life when I was young you are a good farmer you care about your calf's
I get tickled over the CAKE thing. It's as you said it's a nutrition nugget ( cube, cylinder, whatever)....they just eat it like cake!!! It's yummy to them. Just my take on it. Hey! My late husband had disabilities,...but he sure kept going. I really appreciate Matt and Jeff being there. I have watched you up off and on (especially) during terribly cold weather and prayed. I'm pleased they are there.
Thank you for Vlog #15. I was away for the Easter weekend. I can only add, "Keep on, keeping on!" You do a great job. Your character showed through with calf #1. Erin did all she could as well. We know that. . . . My wife is a retired physiotherapist. She worked with other people to help others with disabilities. That was her working life. She loved helping people. Matt is fortunate that he has had some warning to show him that he better enjoy each day. More power to Matt. He knows his limits. . . . I will end with a true story. When we first got married, we moved to a small city in Saskatchewan. She had a patient in a care facility who had been in a stupid car collision "playing chicken" with a friend. He was brain injured and he had a spinal injury. Every Friday they got him ready to go home for the weekend. He was in a wheelchair and he had trouble with speech as well. They started getting him up on bars and he managed to start with some small steps. In a few months, he was able to walk without bars, with assistance. My wife asked me if she could take some old Motor Trend magazines to work. . . . Well, fast forward the best part of a year. Her "patient" was able to leave the care facility and go back to the farm. In time, he got married and they had a family. He was able to run a successful farm. I wonder what would have happened if she and the other physiotherapist gave up on the person who only did one stupid thing. He had determination to go on when given another chance. Mike, you have a genuine, gentle spirit. "Keep on, keeping on!" You have been "blessed" with a wonderful family. (I realize that you might not like the word "blessed".) Thank you for your UA-cam channel. People can watch what they want. . . . but, they can just fade away without being nasty. We do not have to be nasty in return. We can take the high road instead. 😊
I am catching every video as they are so interesting. You do an amazing job of covering every situation that your dealing with, explaining why and what and how things are done. I find that educational as well as fun to listen to. i was telling my 5 friends about your show today as we sat around a table and made Easter decorations for the dining rm table. Mike, you know that people are people and they are not going to straighten up even though you tell them what nasty people they really are. Focus on those of us who really get a kick out of what your doing for work and in your life. We love it! We want only the best for you and your family. Success and happiness every day in your life.... God Bless you......Glenda
Good for you Mike, it is so good of you & Erin having Matt out there.. I know he is enjoying it . It is Peaceful for Matt,.
A lot of great comments guys. The positive is always there.. Mike and Erin are great loving people ❤️
I as a child, I'm now 59 years old lived on a self sufficient farm. We raise our own meat and veggies. We treated our livestock with care and kindness. Seems you do respect also. Weather is so different in locations. Keep up the good work, don't let haters bring you down. This is to viewers that don't or make comments about farmers quit watching. Farming is farming good or bad. I have been there. Mike love the videos. Thumbs up you care about your livestock.
We never miss your videos, and think you are doing a great job, so is Matt. As a senior I do all that I can, good for Matt staying active and doing what he able. Some people are so negative
I'm sorry if I'm repeating myself with my comments, but I find your videos to be authentic. honest, and a total breath of fresh air (considering all that is going on these days. To me, it is obvious that you and Erin truly care about the animals you raise.
Great video. She loves to run.
Love you'll stay safe and God bless. Dan
I watched this episode and then sat and stewed about the comment about Matt. I am still upset. First he is not disabled he is living with limits and doing a damn good job. I thank him for his service and I am glad he is enjoying his time on the ranch. I look forward to every new post. God bless you all
I think that you and your family are so special and truly love your farm and animals. I am grateful that you have shared the good and the difficult part of raising cows which is something I really wanted to see. Love you guys keep up the great job and thank you for sharing.
This is my first year with your channel and I’m loving the 30 in 30! I’ve learned so much and look forward to learning so many more things. You are real people living on your ranch sharing your trials and tribulations with all of us. For me it’s a pleasure to watch and learn, thank you for sharing. I share you with my whole family too and tell them all I’ve learned. I find ranching fascinating!
I think it’s great that you have Matt on the farm. To do things that he probably wouldn’t ever get to do anywhere else. Some people are just ignorant and don’t have anything else to do. Keep up the good work Matt .
Just watched your comment episode. Although you ranch to support your family, I believe you also enjoy what you do. You demonstrate you are a great person and you care more about your cows than just a profit. You are a inspiration to all. Thanks.
We enjoy watching your videos thank you for giving us the opportunity to enjoy them we look forward to many more from u happy Easter to u and family
Thank you for all that you share with us. There is so much to running any business, home, co-op, family, etc... Your previous skills are a great compliment to your channel along with graphics, titling, framing, music, sound, etc... As my Mom would say, " Some people are Folk". Hang in there. Shalom (Peace).
Looks like Mardy enjoyed her play time!
So fun to watch little calf's play!
Awesome video, Mike. Thank you so much for sharing a day in your life.
Can’t imagine anyone leaving nasty comments about your ranch, your farming, your family, or you. You are the face of new way of farming. More power to you. Ignore the negative nellies, as much as you can.
Ignorance has no boundaries unfortunately. You guys do an amazing job. Some people would be so lucky as to get the chance to do what Matt and Jeff are getting to do to help you fulfill your work in teaching values that very few understand. God bless all of you.
Keep up the good work. #6 will sleep good tonight. We live along I90 and sounds like the weather next week will finally warm up.
Thanks for all your time. I understand how things are different farm to farm state to state and country to country.
Mike don't let any negative comments from anybody catch you down after all you a great job and it's no one's business you know they can either tune in or tu 🌨️ne out. You do a great job Mike keep it up
mike i think you guys do a great job. i can tell you care the way you react to the animals and your kidos. keep your head up and dont pay attention to what people say. your freinds are awesome also for come to help you. keep up the good work.
I enjoy your Q&A. It's informative. Erin is absolutely right about dealing with negative comments. Please ignore them. I certainly don't want to hear about them. They make me upset too and that's not good for my mental health.
