- Number 127 has hurt her leg, more than likely by falling on the ice. We need to bring her in and nurse her back to health, but we may lose her on her first day. Only fast thinking and faster doing will save her life.

PO Box 667

Join us on our journey as we leave a life in corporate america to come back to Wyoming and help on the family ranch.
Our Wyoming Life features our Wyoming ranch and our ranch family. Giving you a look into the workings of ranching from raising cattle to raising and harvesting crops. Erin will join you weekly out of the garden, showing you how she helps provide for our family through growing produce and selling at local farmers markets, and Mike will take you along as he tends to the animals and land of ranch, from calving to fencing to planting and harvesting hay.
Once again,the heart and soul of a true American farmer/rancher shines through. Your compassion for your herd is admirable and heartwarming.May your family and you have a warm and wonderful Holiday.
You’re a good man Mike. You care about your herd and it shows! 👍
He has to care, thousands of dollars lost over something stupid.
What a headache for you to have on your hands! She'll get better - thanks to your "never-give-up" attitude. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas!
Mike, great job! You saved two lives today.
We’ve a saying in our family(generations of cowpokes and ranchers) “Never trust the luck of a lousy cow” and it is so true! You can go by something every day for years without ever a problem, and then some cow will try to maim or kill itself in the weirdest way on it. Never a dull moment out there!
Thank God nobody got hurt. You treat the farm animals so good. Thanks for being so caring. I'm just a old retired city boy but enjoy these vids.
What a true testament you are to real ranchers and farmers. The heart that has to be there to really do the job the right way shines brightly in you.
Happy healing to her.... she is lucky she has you as an owner, and your quick thinking/ reaction time and patience! Good for you! Have a wonderful weekend and thanks for sharing your life with us all out here in internet land.
love your channel brother. im pleased to didnt have to put her down.....the compassion and humanity is beautiful
Having watched a couple of your videos I am addicted. I live in a little village in the UK but I have always loved farm animals and your dedication to your animals is heart warming. Glad that you are both okay after this incident
It is always very stressful dealing with injured livestock. There is one thing we have learned over the years though, they can recover from some pretty dismal injuries. I hope for the best for her Mike.
Wow! Never a dull moment on the ranch! Glad you freed her and didn't have to lose her - great work!
Even though you already told us everything ended up OK, I still found myself tense and holding my breath as you tried to free her.
Its ok to cry after saving her. Ive done the same after a close call, once i was in my car where no one could see me. Carry on!
So glad I found your Channel. I love the way you care about your animals . Trying to catch up on all of your videos. Good luck with your hurt cow looking forward to an update .
This is one of my favorite videos of yours. You are a good man, and so good to the animals. That was great quick thinking.
Poor 127 I hope she’s going to be ok and Today my cow had a calf and I love you
My heart is pounding as I am sure yours was as well trying to get her free.
Oh, my, that was a close call. I'm glad you were able to get her free from the gate without you getting injured and didn't have to put her down. I hope she heals up well.
Well done you kept so calm to save her life respect to you sir ❤👍
You have the voice of a radio broadcaster.
I thought the same thing. I kept wondering if he had been an announcer for a tv show I had watched years ago because it sounded so familiar.
That's because he has done radio
@@willjugglawikidchip1824 " le siigggghh""💗💗🤦♀️
Samantha Grey Actually, I think he sounds like Mike Rowe..........?
he was in radio
So glad you got her free...man that was rough! I know you were sweating bullets....geez! Have a good one and please keep safe!
God Bless you for all you did for her! Great job!
Hi Mike. I really hope that she is doing better. I love your videos. Wishing you and your loved ones a Merry Xmas and a new year full with love and happiness.
U r an Angel for this babes thank u for been so compassion n love ur animals ,,,thank u n God bless ur ranch n u gays
I hope #127 makes a full recovery and is back with her buddies soon. She is not a happy camper in that stall that's for sure! You're a good man Mike, you stayed with it instead of giving up on her in a dire and stressful situation. Merry Christmas to you, Erin and the little ones!
You are so caring for your heard hope she is doing well
Canada here. Had to hold my breathe for the foot rescue. Looking at the narrow space she got her hoof in, there's no way you'd ever expect that. Remarkable save while protecting yourself, and while using a power tool. Only chaotic thing missing was fighting off Rattlers at the same time! Glad you are both okay.
Mike, I cried for you when the cow got stuck like she did. Thank God you were able to free her. You, of course, cannot afford to lose a cow like that. Hope she recovers completely. With that much weight, it had to be a frightening event.
Good job, Mike. Good camera placing, too. Very fortunate. Merry Christmas to you and family.
Good job Mike on avoiding a catastrophe with number 127. Take care and seasons greetings.
Mike, good thing you were there when 127 decided to have a tantrum. I would recommend a companion for her to keep her calm while recovering.
Bless you, for your quick thinking, in my book your a star.kudos.🙏🏻🙏🏻🇬🇧
Thanks for the videos keep them coming and have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year
His voice makes you melt
Nice work Mike I've been there and completely understand the stress for rancher and cow I bet it was a good stuff crown royal that night .lol to do again tomorrow. Just shows people how much cattle producer care for there animals thank you for videos
Bring her in with another cow range cows do not like to be alone I made that mistake once locked a injured cow inside the corrals she stayed as long as it took her to blow out through the side of the corral.
my Dad and a pardner owned a ranch in Alberta the ranch manager never left a bovine alone.
@@787Earl that true. they are social animal
That's good advice about dealing with herd mentality 👍
Yup, always a companion animal
Very good advice, that makes sense. She may have been stressed being away from the herd.
I love your all videos, good job ,good camera work, educational!very interesting!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
Never a boring day.........! Have a beautiful and happy merry Christmas to you Erin and the kids and of course grandma.
Great work Mike! quick thinking saved the day, and possibly a life!
great job Mike, u got abit of a seat on there.... Hope you all have a great time over Christmas and New year xx
Merry Christmas Mike &Erin
glad she is okay, nice save. Merry Christmas to all y'all.
Glad it went well, well as good as it could, great thinking and just shows the need and usefulness of battery powered tools. On another note, love the channel and really enjoy the ranch setting. From a hillbilly trapped in the mountains of Dickinson County Virginia where everywhere you look is a mountain, the flat land is my dream setting. And hope 127 gets well soon..
Improvise, overcome....farming and ranching are full of situations that test us all. Your a good man.
Boy that was a close call . Hope she heals up
Great job glad you didn't give up on her. Way to hang in there.
Oh, I hope she gets better!
Me too. Thanks for watching -Mike
Merry Christmas to you Mike and the hole family
Wyoming that's my hometown i was born there in 1981 it's a cattle state and front tears days and now i lived in Missouri now im sorry to hear about your cow hopefully your cow going to be alright
Good job Mike! Another indication where situations change the course of the day on the Ranch!
Glad you didn't give up
Well done 👍
Good job with 127, Mike. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
I had a similar situation this summer with a 600 pound steer, which was giving up as I tried to free him from the fence. Never give up on them even when they do. May come to see you in Lexington which is only 2 hours from where I live.
Keep on plugging....
Always PROUD OF Y'ALL
i remember as a kid one of our puppies got into the ice melt salt and ended dying from too much salt and there was nothing we could do, brain swelled fast and by the time we got her to the vet she was dead, as a kid it was hard but as a adult i used sand vs salt ..............hope the cow gets well doon hugsssssss from Ontario Canada
U never gave up , helping her out twice , very nice 2 give her a treat 2...
I would have taken a good look at the hinges on the other end of the gate before I cut into a load bearing post but I know how these sort of situations go. Cows will find a way to make you work harder than necessary.
Congrats on getting her loose. That was a nail biter! Thanks for sharing, it’s a good learning experience.
Well done Mike. Quick thinking I’ve been there, alone like yourself. Not easy buddy. Let us know how she is doing.
Great job, Mike thanks for sharing
Always a friend with the cow...hope all works out with her...
You're a great American Mike. Keep it up young man!
Congratulations on quick thinking and reaction.
Hope #127 is ok. Have a Merry Christmas and looking forward to next year.
Thanks for sharing
Spreading fine gravel instead of salt works great, and helps reduce mud around high travel areas.
R U referring 2 the fine gravel used in concrete block?
@@ardurbin2 I would think more in the line of granite chat, sharp edges and corners grind into the ice. It's what a lot of Texas cities and TXDOT use on our icy roads. We don't get much snow, sleet and freezing rain up to 3-5 inches thick sometimes. Acts like biter chains on tires. Hard on a low tire, will cut a radial sidewall.
They have split hooves, so the gravel might get wedged in their hoofs, making other issues. Just saying ..
Or sand and change the grade so it doesnt puddle up salt will change the ph of the soil and nothing will grow thwre
Cathy. We spread salt around stock tanks and in gates. Nothing grows there anyway. The ice isnt caused by grade but like I said it’s from snow being packed in areas where there is heavy traffic. Grade does make a big difference if the tank over flows. Thanks for watching. -Mike
I’m glad you were able to save the cow! What I’d really like to know is what kind of coat that is! Love your channel!
I'm a new sub. Hello from Nashville, Tennessee. Love your video's
Always something new on the ranch Mike.
I hope your heart rate is back to normal...well - and hers and baby too.
I have no idea how cold it is there, but did you see him take a big breath and unzip his coat when it was over? 11:40
Poor cow hello from Ireland 🇮🇪☘️
Hi, this is my first time watching your Channel. That was quick thinking with the saw and it worked out just fine. It's a good thing You got her leg out when you did because she could have snapped that leg in half and then she would have been in real trouble. Keep up the good work and perhaps I'll see you in the next video.😉
Thank you Sandra
A small powered saw would have fixed this problem in a few minutes.Need to get the necessary tools.
Good job hope you both are ok
Mike: my name is Osvaldo Nevarez & i was born & raised till the age of 17, in the state of Durango Mexico, then I came to USA, i have spent about 28 years in Chicagoland area & am 45 years old @ this moment.
Will i grow up doing ranching & farming at a really small amount. I grow in a small village near the high mountains @ the municipality of Santiago Papasquiaro Durango Mexico, & i really enjoy your videos, i congratulate you for your really hard work. But don't look back, always look forward. One day i am going to visit your ranch if you don't mind God bless you & your hard worker wife my respect to you all.....
Hope she makes a full recovery. She may not show it, but I bet she knows you are doing what is best for her and her calf.
Ingeniously works every time! So happy you don’t have a give up attitude. In this case you are losing two with the potential of more calves in the future. Good job!
Great job on cutting the side off of the pole! Y’all have a Merry Christmas and I really enjoy your videos of your outdoor living on the ranch Very pretty there! We have a little 140 acre hay farm in East Texas which borders a river. Enjoying my life away from the corporate world since I retired last year. Thanks again for sharing your life with us!!
I watched your blumberg Ad. Loved it.
Rock on American Farmer!
Wonderful farmer great job❤️
To prevent that happening again, maybe attach another board to that gate to eliminate the gap that she got her hoof caught in. I'm glad you didn't have to put her down Mike.
This is super informational. I thought that an injury on a cow, especially in a large herd, would just expedite the harvest process to cash out and get rid of the problem. But nice work, even if it is a lot of labor!
Mike we just realized this. Your SUV is the identical one we just got rid of. We use a gator on our place. We roll hay out with a bale unroller behind a 6420. We pull our aluminum stock trailer with a with a ford pickup very similar to yours. We just had a good old laugh of the piling similarities.
I'm so glad I found this channel. New subscriber here.
Great job, Mike
Well done, that man! That cow is lucky to live on your ranch 😊
That was so scarey, great work Mike getting her free
U did good Mike, crazy things happens sometimes to animals and to humans
I agree. Wasn’t expecting that. Thanks -Mike
Don't you know, "Hell hath no fury like a heifer stalled." Have a good Christmas. Next year will always be better.@@OurWyomingLife
Absolutely!.
@@mikehales2792 That;s a good quote!
Im glad i was able to free her
You handled it well.
Oddly enough, I live just outside Lexington. I'll look forward to word on the meetup.
This just reminds me how I need to get some facilities set up for our cattle
good thought Josh, plan the future

O hi bb h
I worked at a barn where one of the horses got his hoof stuck in a gate latch (though chain instead of wood) when he kept rearing up at it demanding to come in the barn for dinner. I grew up on a horse farm and had seen stuck legs before, so I grabbed his halter and lead first to stop his extra flailing if I could. It did stop him, thankfully. I checked over the gate for a way to unlatch it despite him holding down the chain that only unlocked pulled upward. Meanwhile, my co-worker was hyperventilating, calling the barn owner who wasn't anywhere close by to help (at a wedding, in fact), and crying. Very helpful. She did eventually discover you can't lift a horses stuck leg upward when it's already above their chest height (plus, he was a draft). I got him to rear up a bit again and get out, and he went to the shower stalls to be hosed for a long time while he ate his dinner. Just stiff with a scratched leg. I'm glad people with farm and ranch experience can stop long enough to think and look around during animal panic to actually help, not panic and do nothing until the critter dies.
Some good quick thinking with that reciprocating saw and chisel!
I cant wait to get our first herd this spring!
Seriously put a radio in the barn and leave it on. It really does help them calm down ours liked Rock'n'Roll. A young steer next door helps too. Yeah she's pissed but mostly afraid of unfamiliar things. That's where a companion can help. We had more than one go down even our dairy cattle got hung up occassionally. We had to use hip pullers to keep them up while mending or had to put them down. She's a beauty and can jump like a darn deer!💜
Cows are like kids if it can be done or u didnt plan for it happen that way they will suprise u with a challenge. U take very good care of those animals, great job mike!!!!!!!!!
Some of these comments are hard to read. You were by yourself and you did it the safest way you could think of. Your safety it the only thing that matters when working with a large animal like that. People dont understand how big these animals are and the force that she could put on that gate.
Thank you very much. Yes it was a spooky situation. -Mike
Good job Rescue Mike! #147 loves you now!!
I m a city girl and am beyond fascinated......learning alot
Thank you Elizabeth. We were City kids too. :)
Just foynd your channel..too bad cause saw you came to my state in January and dont live too far away from Lexington NC. Woulda loved to have come.
Good work Mike,thinking on your feet and using simple commonsense always gets the job done.You have great attitude and work ethic.Just a heads up,fill the space on all your gates with a 2 by 4 and your good to go.I know put it on the list,lol.
I want to wish you and family the Merriest Christmas and a Happy New Year.Health and wealth to you all.
