Mike, those people who said mean things on this one. Probably never been on a ranch. They don't know what they're talking about. Just ignore them. Haters are gonna hate no matter what you do. You can't fix stupid people Mike. Theirs no cure for it.
Agree. Here he is helping the Pig and the Cow and all people can do is bitch and criticize. DONT WATCH IF YOU DONT LIKE IT!
Thanks, Try to let it roll off like water on a Ducks back!

Being a construction contractor for almost 50 years, I get a kick out of all the different kinds of projects you have done in the last few years. I can understand why your least popular video was your least popular for many folks, but watching the innovative ways you get things done is quite interesting. For a one-man band for most of the year, you manage to do what is ultimately the most important: you get things done. Mike
Losing No. 2 was personal for me. As ranchers, we are responsible for the care of our livestock. No matter how close we are or not to them, it hurts every time. And the fact that we keep doing it knowing the results will be the same with the next No. 2. It is what makes us human. Good job on give her the best life cow can have.
Love the diversity at the ranch ,taking care of cows to plumbing , all topped off with family being involved . Thanks for all the vids Mike .
My favorite video was saying goodbye to Number 2. It broke my heart but showed how ranchers do have a heart. They do have feelings. Their cows and animals aren't just money, they are cherished beings. God made them before he even made man. Significant much? Thank you for sharing the good AND the bad, Mike. It is life and it is real. God bless ❤
This was my favorite too. I watched it a couple of times.
As a fellow rancher, it’s always hard to make our business sunshine and rainbows. Whether people like it or not, it’s all things that have to happen for big plan to work. You have always shown that you really do care about animal welfare. I’m glad there are families like yours that have found success in the UA-cam thing and showcasing what it takes to get the food on the table for all Americans! Happy 2024!
I am very glad to be along for the ride with OWL and the ranch. The good and the bad melt together to make the amazing that I appreciate so much!
Glad your here Bill. Thanks for everything.
I love the tops 3 "worst" makes me feel a part of the ranch. It is not always glamorous. It is dirty, creative and hard work. Love your family and all those who feed us! ❤
I really like All your videos, Mike. I have always been a city girl, but I have found your videos sooo informative. I love seeing all the animals and how you handle any problems that come up with them. But I also like your project videos, things that you, Erin, Jeff and Kari get done to hopefully keep “Our Wyoming Life” running well with as few glitches as possible. Keep up all the hard work. America needs you😊
Glad you like the videos Carol.
My favorite video of 2023 was your tribute to #2. It was sad, for sure, but it was done with such love and respect that I was very impressed by the video. I believe the worst videos are not showing fuzzy warm stuff or bloody, pussy stuff, but I enjoy them because I want to see life on the farm as it is.
Keep on doing what you guys do the best with all of your hard work, your kindness to others and your desire to help your neighbors and teach the rest of us how it all actually works. We will keep watching.!
I appreciate all your content. I am not a rancher, just a viewer who enjoys watching a life I think I may have enjoyed in my younger years. I watch all your videos and and say thank you for sharing your journey with us.
Glad you like the videos Terri, and thank you for like them.
Well said Terri! 👍👍
It seems people often just want to see the “highlight reel” of what’s going on, but it’s authentic and keeping it real showing every aspect of the lifestyle. Keep up the great work team.
This is what I like about your channel. You show everything in the daily operations of the ranch; the good, the normal, and the not so good. Welcome back!
Thank you johnpaul.
Shocked that more of the birthing videos weren’t more popular and mind boggling how the pig wrangling video could’ve have been a “worst”!?!?!!
We love them ALL! Thanks for all you do💪💪
Nice to have you back again! Missed you over the holidays. Interesting how large the swings are in popularity with different subject matters in your content. Either way I enjoy all the offerings and generally learn something from each of them. A huge take away I get is how much you care for the animals on the ranch not only because they are a money source since you are a business but because you actually care about them. Keep up the great work, stay safe and these days stay warm!!
Thanks Evelyn. Happy New year to ya.
As I am watching this trying to decide what my favorite video was. It finally came to me that this was my favorite because it’s great when you realize you are doing a great job with all the animals and are helping everyone realize where there food comes from and what it takes to get it to their table. I know you are frustrated sometimes but I would like to tell you I think you are doing a great job as a rancher ,father and husband.
I so enjoyed the Best and Worst of 2023 video! Now, it's time for 2024!! I'm looking forward to the New Year videos! ❤🇺🇸
Glad ya liked it Monica. Yes, Im looking forward to 2024 also.
I am totally opposite of most people. I can’t watch the pimple popping videos, they’re awful. I really like the day to day common chores videos. You do such a great job with everything.
Even as a city boy, i enjoy all of your videos. There are highs and lows, but that's life. That's the goal, to show life on your ranch. Always impressed by the problem solving.
I really havent watched a video here that I didnt enjoy & learn something. I commend you for all the hard work and job well done. Looking forward to a great 2024. ❤
Hi Jeff we miss you too
You just keep doing what you do. Those of us who have experience with some form of farming appreciate your efforts and enjoy your channel. The rest don't matter.
You just keep on doing what you do in your unique way. It keeps me coming back!
We all love your channel and can see that you're nice and caring to your animals. People always have to have something to complain about.
I enjoy them all. All you can do is your best. Thanks Mike.
Thank you Gene.
Never a bad video, Mike. You’ll always have some videos that are more interesting. But, the OWLifers will always watch and be happy that you’re providing us all the entertainment and education that we love. Don’t have to love animals to find a pimple popping video on UA-cam. But you have to love the ranch to find a video about scooping poop out of a random barn in Wyoming.
If they don't like what you're doing here, block them. They don't deserve your time. You do a great job taking care of your ranch and helping people in a variety of ways. Keep up the awesome work. Bless.
So great to have you back Mike.
Good to be back. Thanks
There was nothing bad about the videos you posted.i enjoyed the truth about the farm life so thank you so much Mike
You know Mike…. You had experience with your past profession… Your voice on the video just shows how experienced with speaking on videos you have.. Anyway I love all your videos…..being raised and working on our dairy farm is hard when losing calves or other cows… it’s something you don’t get over…death on the farm is always hard…. But on the other hand….being raised and living on a farm is the best life…. So again Mike what a great video for the start of 2024….Thank you….
You for an AMAZING Job dragging us along on many awesome videos Mike...
They are all interesting especially to people transplanted to City life & miss alot of the Past Fun, & Wholsome parts of our own lives...
I grew up in Ontario, Canada as a child/teen & moved to Glendora, California after my Dad retired from the he Canadian Air Force...
I definitely MISS the 4 seasons & MISS running down to the creek to go fishing... I miss driving 5 miles into town to get a gallon of milk...
I miss splitting & stacking 3 cords of wood to help keep my Grandparents warm...
I miss The Country Life...
Thank you Mike, Erin, Kari, Jeff (when he's there) for bringing all the Good, Not so good, Happy & even the Sad times with us...
Teaching us all about Your Farm Life...
You all are doing a GREAT job...
Hugs & Blessings for Peace, Good Health & Happiness throughout the 🎉New Year 2024🎊
GBY ALL 🙏❤️💙💖💖💙...💖...💙🤗✝️
I felt so bad for you Mike putting that wind break up by yourself.
I guess some people don't understand what would happen if you left thoughts big zits to fester ! and did nothing to help them heal! its better to help them heal! good work this year Mike and Jeff! and everyone on the ranch!
I love seeing the ranch life. I am hooked and watch each show Mike. Keep them coming. Looking forward to seeing Jeff hopefully this Spring.
Thanks for sharing the best and worst. No specific video comes to mind, I love watching how your love for your animals is shared whether with laughter or with tears over a loss.
Keep up the great work.
Stay safe in the cold that's coming.
I've been watching your videos from the start . Keep doing what you do and I will keep watching
.God bless your family
Mike I've been watching for years and visited you it's always been educational and fun. You always show the good the bad and the ugly!
Some of the things that have to happen to get food on people's tables isn't always pleasant but have to be done for the good of the animals.
It takes thick skin to put yourself out there and some people will never understand.
But they don't get to see the sunrises and sun sets we do.
I look forward to every video. Some of the things you do are not the way I would do them. THATS OK!!
It's great to see how things can be done differently.
Its been fun watching how thingshave changed and the seasons go by.
Keep it up! Don't worry about the naysayers!
Can't wait to see what 2024 brings!
Be safe and healthy!!
Keel Smilin!!!!
I watch and like all your videos. You’re showing real life, unrehearsed and authentic and that beats reality tv and all the staged videos that are out there. You patiently explain things that seem so obvious and everyday to you but that most people(like me) have never experienced. Yes, I’m a city girl and I appreciate and enjoy being able to vicariously be on a working ranch. Thanks for sharing! Also, your beef is delicious!
All your videos are my favorite and it was so nice to see Jeff in the video!
Appreciate that Bruce.
I love your integrity to doing whatever your farm needs. Looking for the good in your viewers too.
Mike and family and Jeff,loved all of your videos, keep them coming and always remember Safety is a number 1 priority.
Working with livestock and caring for them isn't a always happy and fun. After working on my dad's farm I know everything doesn't work out the way you want. Animals get sick and die . It can be rewarding and frustrating. There things warm your heart and break it sometimes. All that you can do is the best you can. Thanks for the video Take Care and Be safe the Ranch
Hi Mike, I’m a city girl, turned sheep rancher, turned back city girl. Yes the ranch life was a shock for me. The haters on your channel have no idea what you do everyday. They only get a video of what you do. I appriciate what you do and all that it entails. Thank you for sharing your family and the ranch with us. No body ever said ranch life was pretty.
Mike, so glad you are back. Our family missed you and was praying all was well for you and yours this new year. Your content never gets old, we enjoy the time you take to show us all your ranching life.
I just want to say that I just appreciate all of the time and energy you put into these videos. I hope Jeff comes back to help .. If not I might need to fill out an application.. You cant please everyone Mike and I would wager that the vast majority just loves what you do and adores your family. Keep up the great work and I hope you and your family have an even better 2024
I watch every single video that your channel airs. I don’t normally leave comments because I am not a farmer or rancher and have no clue! 😂 For what it is worth, I find your videos interesting and always look forward to the next one. Thank you and Erin for sharing your week with us. I always enjoy seeing the kids checking the cows with you.
I’d like to see more videos with your kids. I absolutely loved the videos with Gracie driving the Gator. The next generation of ranchers makes a great video.
Mike I got one appreciate you and your family for showing what ranch life is really like.
Ignore the negative ninnies, they obviously don't know what it entails.
Hey Mike, good to see you. We missed you.
Thanks Tammy
I hate to tell you this but I have enjoyed every video of 2023. You and your family and your workers are great people. I appreciate all of your hard wok. Thanks!!!!!
Mike, Now that was interesting! Seeing how your videos rank was a big surprise to me as well as you! Who'da thought? Thankyou for showing us the truth about what ranch life is really about! God Bless!
Some of us make boring DIY content few folks will ever need. But those that find it, might take away a skill they can have forever for free. Thanks for sharing your story, Mike.
Favorites of 2023 #1 - 7 Year Old Moves Cows. #2 - Behind the Screens Ranch Tour. #3 - The Hustler Attachment videos, because I like to see you try to break stuff. LOL
Looking forward to 2024 chapter unfolding. Thanks again, Mike. -EZ
Mike you do a great job and I don't look forward to watching you drain infections but it has to be done and the animals will feel better once it's done. My favourite videos are having and feeding the cows in the snow! Why I don't know but just keep on caring the way you do and you'll always be number 1.
I rather enjoyed the wind break video, partially because I was also watching the whole thing on the Webcam. I like that day how the drill bit failed, then you went to the barn and talked with Kari as she cleaned out Darlas pen and asked her if she needed anything from the Home Depot. It did bug me a little bit though how you left your tools in the steer pen. Lol😅
So glad to see you back! I know you need the time off, and I hope you had great times with the fam over the holidays!
Time off is always a welcome relief Anita.
I don't feel you've had any worst videos, as I enjoy them all! You always have a great attitude and are inspirational. The barn cleaning video was beneficial for me too, as I often wondered if I could use a pressure washer to clean the inside of my old, wooden barn. There's so much dust and spider webs. After learning what you do, a good barn cleaning is in my plans for Spring when it warms up. Keep doing what you're doing.
Thanks Mike! Looking forward to your regular scheduled programming. 😊
Happy new Year!!! My reflection goes back to 2022/23' knowing you worked so hard with your herd; good nutrition, vaccinations, fresh water, weaning calves, that got your herd through the winter months. Then came calving season and your brought the first time heifers up close so you could watch over them. Unfortunately, it was a struggle for you to have so many problems with those heifers. Mike, you never gave up, frustrated. You did the "best" you could- Fact, it will show come 2024 calving season, it will be good!! Stay safe and warm-
Hey Mike! Happy 2024! 🎊🎉✨️🎉🎊 This was a cool video! I enjoy EVERY VIDEO you post! If I see Cracker Jack 🐄 I always smile! Each video shows something different.... all your animals, chores that need to be done and projects, that I do believe every one of us would LOVE to help you with!! Thank You Mike, Erin, Jeff and Kari for doing what you do and showing us what ranch life is all about! When we see Kenzie, Grace and Lincoln involved in the Ranch that is awesome! P.S. My favorite video is the video tribute to #2. ❤😪🐂😊❤ My husband and I farmed for many years. We raised corn, soybeans, wheat & 2 kids!! The only animals we raised were cats 🐈⬛ and dogs 🐕! 😁 Until your next video ~~~Stay safe, healthy, warm and happy!
❤🐄🐃🐂🐎🐖🦙🐐🐓 🐔🦃🦚🐕🐂🐃🐄❤
Mike, God Bless you in all you do on your ranch. My favorite video this year was your barn cleaning!
I enjoyed watching you putting up the panel for the wind break. I was so nervous for you and relieved when you were finished! Great job with such dangerous work.
Surprised by the worst video because I thoroughly enjoyed it. My favorite type of videos are during calving season. But I really enjoy everything!
I believe that even to worse video is reality on a farm . I loved your little girl driving out with you. Also all the A AND B HERD DIVIDING , BAMBIE GIRL . Fixing the water for pigs was fun . Your a great farmer and you sure have diversified chores for ANIMals . 🙏❤️
Man ranching is such hard work. I knew this as I live in an agricultural area, many farmers and ranchers around. It’s still lovely to see all your vids and your wonderful family Mike. All the best in 2024!
Good Morning Mike Erin & kids,I am a day late.I so enjoy all of your videos.Thank you for sharing with us! ❤️
It was a great year Mike!. Let's do it all again !❤❤❤
I don't have 1 favorite. I like all of your videos. Some of them bring back memories from my grandparents farm and when my dad had a few cows.
Mike, I rather enjoyed seeing you shovel out the stalls! Because I cleaned my share of calf barns as a kid, each Saturday morning that was our job to clean out the calf barns! And the part about seeing you do it was, “I didn’t have to help! 😂😅
Sincerely, Sam from North Dakota 👍😎
Mike I love all your videos, no matter what you are doing. I missed your #1 video, saw number 2 and 3 of your lowest. I know my favorites are always the calving videos, seeing new life brought into the world!
I have been with you for 3 or 4 years now, I think. I haven't found anything you've done lest or worst. it's your job that you do very well, the animals are neat to watch and having lived in town all my life I have no idea what goes into a Ranchers life or the cattle they care for. It is what is it. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Can't be terrific all the time. Nothing in life is. if something here is unpleasant, I close my eyes until its over. No big deal. Calving time is fun to watch but truthfully, I'm facinated by it all. Excape to the wide open spaces where life is so much simpler at least as I see it. I miss seeing the kids. They are the best co-stars. Im just very appreciative to you for being here. Blessings on you this winter season and spring. From Washington state, Glenda
My favorite videos are from the podcast when Jeff and Carrie joined, I had some good laughs.
Dr. Pol on National Geographic shows pus being squeezed out. One graphic scene involved a cat. The owner jumped and just about lost his cookies. Dr. Pol was somewhat amused. The pus squirted out across the room. We laughed as well. Surely your viewers need to give you credit presenting "Our Wyoming Life". By the way, a friend and I sprayed down a barn interior one Saturday when I was going to university. It was for a fungus. (We wore masks.) We appreciate the work you do on the ranch and the work you do to present your work editing and getting videos out regularly. . . . keep on, keeping on.
Keep up the good work Mike and family!! I enjoy them all 👏🏻❤️👏🏻
Thanks so much
It is all ranch or even farm life. Most people don't realize the countless hrs things take without ay gratitude. You've to love animals,ranching or even Farming to do it. It's always learning and changing. Thanks for all you do.
Thank you once again Mike. I get so excited when your video pops up on my feed. Amazing.. Amazing..
Thank you for always povidibg educational videos.❤❤❤❤
Appreciate that Lori.
Really appreciate the work videos - mucking out - disinfecting - especially the financials of cattle ranching on the high plains. Thanks.
Mike i just found your channel a few nights ago. I have enjoyed watching all your videos. It is nice to see her st what ranch life is like. Keep up the good work and keep your head held high.
Weird but when I watched you clean up the barn and then sanitize it I was pleasantly surprised but my already high opinion of you got higher.
I watch all your videos! Can’t wait when I know you’ll post!’ And of course Love 30 in 30!
Appreciate that Cynthia.
What a great idea to show the best & the worst. Love all your videos. Keep up the good work. When is Jeff coming back?
I would say I wait for calving season and haying I love the work days where stuff gets accomplished that needs doing. The first three videos were not my favorite but the last three were right up my alley. So I’m watching all the videos because to me I don’t want to miss a thing on the ranch. Thanks for what you do! ❤
Thanks for watching @themomymagic
I'm ready for the 2024 videos brother from the imperial county California 👍👍🇺🇲
Coming soon! Take care Francisco.
You have to over look some people that don't know what they are saying. You do great. We love to watch you and the family. We are so glad you sharing with us. I think its great to see all the babys .all the animals. It looks fun and hard work.
I’m afraid the most memorable for me was the was when the momma cow died because so much of her came out with the birth - I forget the term now - and you getting the colostrum from her after she had died to save her baby. That was heartbreaking, but I loved how much you cared about the loss, Mike.
Temperature -37 ° at 7:26am Saturday 1.13.24 Gillette Wyoming you have to be cold Mike! Hopefully you're opening the gate to let A and B together to go into the barn. Wind chill up to -60 stay safe
I don't know what people expect when watching your videos and they feel the need to leave such mean comments. You keep things real, and for me, thats what I find interesting. Whether its helping a momma cow have her calf or hugging one of the emus. All days are not unicorns and rainbows. Your care and concern for every little thing on your ranch shows. Its hard work that many these days are just not accustomed to. Perhaps Escaping the Ordinary scares some folks. So thank you for sharing in your life - the good, bad, ugly, and mundane. God Bless and I wish the Very Best to you, your family, helpers, and critters in 2024!
Your videos are informative and entertaining, Mike. I have learned so much about ranch life and I will keep watching. Blessings to you and the family in 2024.
"Life is like a box of Chocalate" :) I guess you can also say that to your youtube videos. Happy New Year Mike! Many blessings this year to you and your family!
Hello Mike, I wish you and your beloved ones a merry 2024 🍀💝
Thank you for taking us with you on your daily routine 😊👍🏻 and try to ignore mean comments.
Love ❤ and greetings from Germany
I hope the weather that's comeing your way dose not mess you up to bad.i have been fixing fences all day from a small twister that came thru the ranch
I dont mind the snow to much...Yeah I do. LOL Well I know we need to have the precipitation to replenish the ground water. Thanks for watching Ken.
I even got my husband to watch the Bluetti one because he has been installing some solar and generator power for us. I don't find any of your videos boring, but sometimes I don't have time to watch the whole thing at once, and then I forget to go back and finish it. I love ypur channel though. And I love the projects that Erin is doing also.
Good job on this. Although I was not really surprised by top one and two, I was surprised the breaking wind video did as poorly as it did. I got a chuckle out of title as well. There are many a video that are well done, it is hard to choose. However, I think my favorite to date are the ones about the history of the ranch and the tributes you did to Gilbert. Well done on this video Mike!
Keep up the great work Mike , you are doing a great job looking after and caring for you live stock 👍
Mike welcome to 2024 may you have a great year. I want you Mike to understand there will always be people who are mean. I have been watching your channel for many years and enjoy every vlog you post. I grew up with family who farmed and I understand why you’re doing things the way your doing them. Thank you for sharing
Happy New Year Mike and family. Every video you put out has a great amount of value for different people. Just like the old saying: "You can't please all the people all of the time", each video has an important value for someone. For me. Every video shows how much you care for the animals and how you try to make every day a special day for every animal. Your care, emotions and values you display is an inspiration for your viewers and a great way for others to follow. Be safe and continue to do what you love and keeping us entertained and learning from you.
Congratulations on a great 2023 and hopes for the ranch that 2024 is the bst yet!
I wish people realized that it can be hard to get vets out to the Ranch, and your doing what the vet would do. I am sorry that people point it out so much, but I laugh at the same time because so many people react over responding. I actually don't think you had any bad video. I always enjoy watching your videos, but I do think any video of you and Jeff is always so interesting. Happy New Year!
Glad your back and hope you had a good break. Happy New Year!
Thing with some of the crap comments is most of them dont have a clue what EXACTLY ranchers and farmers ACTUALLY do day to day. It is not always sippin a beer on the porch sayin yip.. Barns have to be cleaned, animals sadly get sick and vets cant always get to ya... I would say after 15 plus years you know what to do. Its not like you sit back and do nothing... Damned if you do, damned if you dont... keep doing what you are doing.. Animal care is NEVER always textbook... people need to realize that dang.
Appreciate your comment Kim. You know what time it is. Some people just dont understand what life is like on a Ranch. Thanks for watching.
Honestly Mike, I have a hard time choosing, I liked aspects of all of them, but if I had to choose, I would say the project choices would be up there. I chose that one because everyone has a different opinion and mine is from a farmers point of view. My favorite would be between handling the cows and haying, probably haying is #1, which I have done for 30 years or so. Thanks for all you gave us last year, I hope your year goes well, have a goodnight!
thanks mike all the best in 2024 great ranch show ,all you can do is your best
Thanks Ralph.
