    Hi Mike...well I'll put my 2 cents in for next Saturday's video. I think the wind break for the A team. Not only do they really need it, but I think we would enjoy watching that being done. A Win Win!! Enjoy your weekend and stay warm. ❤

    Shelter for A-Team since bad weather is coming. If you have a 2nd piece of the same size then maybe use them in an A frame to provide an overhead shelter as well. For long term prospects maybe consider splitting barn in half with a new door at the other end and a fence across B-Team area running across to the A-Team gate.

    The windbreak for the A Team is a no brainer for the priority project for next week. It impacts the well being of the steers and I know that’s important for you Mike! Thank you for all the content you provide us! ⭐️🐂🐖🦃🐓🐐

    I’d say build a windbreak for the A team. If you could start it somewhere where you can add a feed storage onto it later then you can store the feedlot feed on that side of the road instead of hauling it across daily.

    Hello Mr. Mike my suggestion would be definitely give the B team so relief from the weather. I have often wondered could you not mark the A the team while they are in that group so when you need to put that A and B group together it would not terribly hard to separate them. Then B team would always move up so you could mark them as A when they moved up. Then you could let them both use the barn on extremely harsh weather conditions and still put their wind break up with a top and sides as time allows….
    Just a suggestion. Sending a blessing to everyone @ Our Wyoming Life!(in my head I say that in your voice every time…Our Wyoming Life!)
    I was so glad to see Rock ⭐️ Marti! Not that I am happy to see her in the B team but that’s ranching I guess. Stay warm!❤

    I would love to watch a wind break build but I think cleaning out the feed lot makes the most sense you can always put a & b teams together if need be but the mud with only get worse if you don’t get it under control now. That’s my vote, but I watch every single video anyway. 😊

    I believe the term you're looking for, Mike, is "Cowntentment". For next Saturday's project, I will suggest that it is weather dependent - high wind, rain or snow, clean-up & mount the internet repeater. If the weather is good then the shelter for the A Team.

    That's one reason why I love my tractor. It's old school, has a clutch, is a 3 speed transmission with an additional 3 speed shifter, so I've got basically a 9 speed tractor. I don't have to us the government juice (DEF), It's only a 30 hp tractor, but suits my needs. None of the new fangled alarms, etc. Just a tractor that does the job.

    I want to see all three options but I think the wind break is the best option.. and I have a feeling that will lead into cleaning up the feedlot. Goat feed shed can wait, especially since you wanted to test new shed before buying another.

    Wind Break - perhaps use some of your oil pipes and tractor to sink three pipes outside the fence. Then slip the (heavy) wind break onto the slot between the three pipes and the fence, and pound two more pipes in front of the windbreak (also before the fence) to hold it - a wind break sandwich! Hopefully the ground isn't frozen enough so you'll be successful, and take the strain off the wiring it to the fence?

  • @ronaldmiller7740
    @ronaldmiller7740 5 місяців тому

    Primary Job should be the wing break for the A Team. Secondary why not put a Frost Free Hydrant on the South end of the water tank for the A and B Team and a Steel Pipe at the top of the all the way on the north, east and west sides of the tank to keep the tank from being bent. then worry about the Shed for the Goat Hay last. It remind me of when we feed Milk cows 63 years ago and needed a wind break for the dried up cows the Milking cows were in a part of the barn all warm and toasty.

    @dwighthires3163 5 місяців тому

    I vote for fixing the water and cleaning the pens for the feed lot.
    When you first mentioned that we can influence subject options I hoped it would be something with the feed lot. I know it is not glamorous, but I view the cleaning and water tank repair as more essential than the new shed. You still have the option of combining A-Team with the B-Team in a bad storm but cleaning out the pen will get tough after temps plumet and ground freezes. It would be catastrophe to loose water with a broken water trough.

  • @lindafick8450

    I vote for option #1. Building the shed for storage by the goat pen. That sounds like that will save you some immediate steps. The windbreak is important too. Would be great for the cattle to get some relief from the elements. I give up, all the projects are important.
