      @@janmilos5975don’t tell someone to “WORK IT OUT” when you don’t know what the issues are! What if that’s already been tried? You know what happens when 2 people who are in 2 different places in a relationship try to stay together for the kids sake? They both become miserable and it affects the relationship with the children. If their relationship is over and they can both come to grips with that, then they’re better off moving on, and being happy in their own space. When they are happier, they can bring more of that happiness to the children. Yes, it sucks for EVERYONE at first, but it’ll smooth out in time, as long as Mike and Erin can stay civil with each other.
      I’ve lived this personally. My parents divorced when I was very young, so I know what it like going through the whole “visitation” thing, and then when I had a child of my own, I spent 10 years with his mother going through good times and bad, trying to “work it out, but she didn’t want to change her ways, so I bought my own house and left. My son has lived with me almost exclusively since then….. he knew at 10 years old!

      Erin does not have the personality to continue the web channel, Mike had the experience from his radio days, In my opinion, I believe she going to sell off the heard and downsize to just her garden. She in my opinion, she will sell most of the land, aerie can make more money selling the land to developers, 5 times then raising cattle. There is also a trend that people from the west coast and east coast are getting away from high living states to cheaper area, and Erin and her mother can retire just living off the money, the sale of the land to developers. This farm in my opinion is history, watch for the on line store, if they stop selling beef on line, after the inventory I'd depleted, then you know they sold off the heard, I got nothing against Erin, but eventually most people will go with what's profitable, reaching is hard work, ans not as profitable as selling to developers, it's human natural, it looks like the web cams might be shut down, if that is the case, that's another sign, they might be piece meaning the ranch little by little, look for a auction to sell off equipment

    Hey mike. Ive wayched your videos for over six years. I paid extra attention to your operational cost videos. Those videos were extremely helpful to me. Not many ranchers or farmers will be so open about the true cost. I appreciate your story here and my wife and i will be praying for you all in this new venture. So sorry😢 for your pain friend.

    • @billmandaue2168
      @billmandaue2168 7 місяців тому +28

      Forget the channel. The RANCH will die without Mike. There is no way that Erin (even with help) can keep the ranch going without Mike. Erin's mom will probably sell the land, and Erin will have to sell the cattle and equipment. This is how ranches die in the American West. It isn't only a marriage that is ending. It is a way of life. I'm sure the two of you have already gone through all of the 'what ifs' and 'how can we make this works', but I doubt that either of you have actually thought this all the way out to the probable bitter ends that this will likely result in for every member of your family.

    • @1klakak

    • @terryq9966
      @terryq9966 7 місяців тому +6

      ​​@@1klakak I had forgotten about that! If that is the case, is/can Erin or her mom (Rita) going to buy out Mike's equity in the ranch? This could get a little sticky and, although interesting, I'm afraid we'll never know the outcome. Seems like whatever happened, happened since the farm buyout, otherwise why go through all that work? EDIT: Thinking back on what he said in this video, he said that since it was a family farm, he was stepping out, so I'm thinking Rita might still have some vested interest in the farm/house/equipment.... something, so that is why he is gone.

    I've seen this video now for .... I don't know how many times and I still can't believe it.
    For me, it feels like a bad dream that doesn't go away even after the 12th viewing, I still can't believe it.
    OWL was like a constant in my life, I was so looking forward to April and the "30 in 30" and now it's all over.
    Of course I wish you all the best but : Mike, YOU(!!) were OWL and it will never be the same without you.
    Thank you 1000 times for all the beautiful videos and the joy you have brought us over the years.
    I wish so much that your life gets back on track as soon as possible and that you can look positively into the future again, just like you always did in your videos. Best wishes for you from Frankfurt (Germany) 🤠

      This is the saddest video I've ever heard. My heart is broken, Mike. So unexpected. You are OWL. I don't believe Erin can run this ranch like you do. Therefore, I feel she and her mom might sell out like so many ranches have done. I always looked forward to watching you on your daily chores around the ranch. I will follow you on BTR (already a subscriber anyway). Mike, after 38 yrs of marriage, we got a divorce. Hardest and most heartbreaking experience I ever went through. It gets better though. Give yourself time and sincerely pray God gives you strength and forgiveness to get through the pain. He will, just trust the Lord. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the children, Mike. I'll see you soon on BTR.

      And he had the personality needed to make videos and reach out to those who subscribed. Erin is a hard worker, but lacks the personality. She always seemed rather sarcastic with him, looked down on him. She was sarcastic about subscribers' comments. Just the way she is, I guess. :(
