  • Last night I discovered that the summer water well wasn't pumping. That means no water for cows or the gardens. Let's do morning chores while we wait to hear from the well company and let's get a way to haul water to the cows figured out!
    Bring home a piece of the ranch! Jerky, Beef & Pork available now!

    I don't think you're complaining at all, just walking us thru the issues. Thats all you can do, deal with one problem at a time. I think you're doing real well and wish you cooler weather and some rain. You're fortunate to have people who support you on your ranch; its what good people do - help each other. Be Blessed!

    It’s not funny, but ironic. Our well pump went out in June as well. Luckily we have a 100 gallon bag type emergency tank. We filled it multiple times to get water to everything. To the garden. Everything.
    It really makes everything much more difficult.
    Just part of living in rural Wyoming. Gotta love it!

    Hey Erin, every farm/ranch goes thru this . Believe me, some days you can plan things out then all of a sudden, whoop, you are having to go entirely in a different direction!!! It can be very stressful when too many things crash around you in too short of time, but if you can roll with the punches and stay reasonably positive, you will pull yourself thru. It makes you stronger in the long run. Alot of swearing also helps!!!! 😂😂😂

    Clipping a (turkey) wing might work- provided theyre in at night for protection i suppose. Congrats- Ur doing it- even in the heat its common to feel stressed- anyone would! Have U thought about a light sunhat to keep the sun off the dark hair? There is also a special wet towel to put around the neck - keeps body cooler. Ive seen roofers wear light colored longsleeve to keep the sun off the skin. I personally wear a bandana to keep sweat from the eyeballs!

    Erin, nobody should think ranching is easy. Hell, last weekend I was re-working fence (just more tlc) with gaps in the fence my horse got out, on top of me rushing to fix the fence. That ruined the day, as I do not have flat land. After a Full day, did finally get the horse back into his field and fence repaired. And even still, I love working the land and with the animals, would not have any other way.

      Now why would she do that? Then there would be nothing for you to post about in the subject matter of her selling the farm and how you give it 2 years. Which you have already mentioned two videos ago at least. But you keep commenting and that just brings the engagement up and UA-cam loves that so keep doing you which in the end contributes to the farm that you so desperately want to fail. lol See you next video!!! Thanks for the support! Plus you forgot to mention how it was built totally by someone else and heaven's forbid Erin had anything to do with the running of the ranch prior to this year. You are entertaining with your assumptions I'll give you that! Have a fantastic day!

    Okay, I can understand with 103 degree weather, but otherwise, the turkey's will come down from the roof of the chicken coop when they are hungry/thirsty. There isn't really any reason to worry about them staying on the roof is there other than the heat?
    Won’t they come down when they are hungry? If heat isn’t a factor?

    • @lorifnp-c4023
      @lorifnp-c4023 2 місяці тому

      Besides the current heat wave, we also have to worry about coyotes, badgers, skunks, racoons, snakes, camels...and tigers, lions, and bears as well. Those are all very good reasons to worry about animals in one's care. Erin is mindful, watchful, and caring. The perfect rancher in my opinion.
