I moved from corporate to my homesteading life, not nearly as big an operation, but all about the land, animals, gardens and mostly the family. Another great video. Keeping those radio skills alive and teaching a life others benefit from, but had little knowledge of.
Hi Mike - I discovered your channel about a week ago and have had a hard time breaking away from it ever since. I lived with an uncle in rural East Texas for 2 summers in the early 60's while my mother was very sick. I was given my share of chores so that I wouldn't feel left out, since my 2 older girl cousins also had theirs to do. I loved it, and the experience has had a profound effect on my life ever since. In the summer of 1971, between college terms, I worked as a hired hand on a rice farm near Katy, Texas. The work was physically demanding. And my boss, the owner, had high expectations. But he was a great guy, and I worked hard to please him. The situation with the unpredictability of your hay harvest is frightening. How you can compete with ranchers in my part of the country, where aggressive strains of spreading grasses can be harvested multiple times each year, escapes me. Like so many others, I am in awe of your drive, enthusiasm, and wholesomeness. I wish you the best.
I love having cows and horses. We have a small cow calf operation in South Carolina and am a full time hay farmer. Thanks for sharing. I just hit my monetization for my farm channel on UA-cam. I love sharing my farm life.
I'm hooked on watching your ranch. I don't have much compared to what you have only about 8 acres but we have chickens, ducks, and will have pigs depending on the time of year. So thank you for doing what you do
MIke...I found your channel several days ago, I quickly subscribed and have binged watch most of your videos. I grew up on a cattle ranch in the foothills of Arizona in the late 1950's. While you have modern equipment, your love of your livestock, family and this way of life is VERY evident! Keep up the Good Work, I'll be watching.
Watched your video on hay production. What really caught my eye was the size of the wind rows. Being from down south I'm use to larger ones. It proves that you know what you're doing and doing it well. Good stuff -thanks
Very Good video Mike: The only thing constant in this universe is change...and without it, life would be boring.Yours is certainly NOT!! Thanks again Mike for shedding a very needed light on the ever-changing agriculture industry.
You are so right that we need to give voice to healthy ag practices and knowing where our food comes from. Happy you share your ranch life and cycles! Our stock is a little smaller, but we deal with many of the same things your do, pasture, hay, stock, sales, etc. We can all learn from each other.
I recall I had a Welsh aunt who had a cider mug and on it was written: "Let the wealthy and great, roll in splendor and state, I envy them not I declare it. I eat my own lamb My own chickens and ham I shear my own fleece and I wear it. I have lawns I have bowers I have fruits I have flowers. The lark is my early alarmer. So Jolly boys now Here's God speed the plough Long life and success to the farmer." 😊
Thank you Mike. You and you're loving family are my Inspiration. You have gave me a new perspective on farming mostly about cattle. And you are very calm and happy in all you're videos. So I just wanted to say that thanks for all you have done. I have subbed. Keep up the good work.
Great video. I just bought four bred black Angus beef cows with two bull calves to mix in on this dairy farm. I'm slowly getting a beef herd and I'm starting very slowly. I'm crossing my Holstein heifers with a beef bull to get hybrids of the two. New experience for me. But I'm doing everything to protect this century farm.
Great channel you sold me to subscribe. I worked for a couple of manufacturers that made tractors, balers, and combines and felt like I did my part in feeding the world too. Thanks for all you do. I am thankful for those who farm and ranch. I rank them up there with our military and public servants. Thanks for sharing.
Welcome to the channel Colin. You most certainly did your part in helping feed the nation. Without men and women who make the equipment that help farmers and ranchers produce the products where would we be? Thanks for watching. -Mike
Hi Mike, thanks for the video. It looks great. :-) I'm a goat farmer from the swiss alps. Our environment is completely different. We have a lot less land, some of it pretty step, but 3 - 5 cuts a season of good hay. Farming and taking care of the animals is the same all around the world. Have a good time, Dani
Your videos are part of the reason I am in the process of developing my land for grazing purposes. Agriculture and getting the younger generation such as myself involved is so important now more than ever. So thank you for being a huge part of igniting that in me.
Make it happen Alex. Thanks for the kind words there. Erin and I are happy to hear that we have been a small spark in your endeavor. Keep all of us informed on your progress. -Mike
Thank you Mike for a fine early Sunday herd update! Looking like the weather may be sticky or humid over your way too? Hope you and your family have a Super Fantastic Sunday! -Bob...
Dang Mike, you are a lucky man. But then again, you earn it every day. You look like you're having so much fun with those cows. Reminds me of myself with my whopping 2 cows and 2 heifer calves this year.
I spent most of my formative years living really close to a farm raising most kinds of domestic Stock and it's good to see you explain the unique relationship between you and your cattle Mike . specially long-term residents Bambi and Number 2
Mike we started watching a few months ago. We have a small farm in S W Mo. My son and I hauled big round bales yesterday. Today is church , lunch and nap time. Getting ready for an unpredictable week. Mike M
I agree with your point about agriculture. The world population is skyrocketing but the land for growing food is decreasing. This is a globally big issue to tackle on with lots of factor involved.
Thank you for the videos Mike,I will be going thru the same thing soon,my father in law is retiring soon and me and my wife will take over the farm,I'm exited.
I cant lie. Am i the only one that wish the video was a little longer. Everytime i get to explore the ranch with you Mike i never want to leave. 💪 video Mike!!!
Thanks for being such a great promoter for agriculture. The Dairy industry is really taking a hit here in PA. 4 farms in my family alone have had to sell out, family farms that have been in operation for generations. "Big Government" is killing the small farmer and a whole way of life here. Our county fair (Crawford) used to be the largest agricultural fair in PA (on a county level) and believed to be in the eastern states. When I was in 4-H there were over 600 4-H & FFA dairy cattle entries alone, not including open class entries. Now they can barely get 200 total. It's heartbreaking.
Awesome video Mike!!! Agriculture is an important part of the cycle of life. Thanks for opening up with insight about agriculture that you can’t find anywhere else. Good job buddy.
I love cows! See them in the fields as a drive a can’t help myself but look and say ooooooo Cows! Been a long time since a worked a farm but they are really cool animals
your video encourage me to keep working with my cow's thank you for the good videos I'm a truck driver but enjoy work in my little ranch on the weekend i hope you keep doing a good videos
Hi again! Fun to see you skipping across the prairie Mike! All the moos are looking good now and things finally are back to their easier more peaceful lives. Your t-shirt is priceless! Hope Erin is feeling better and you all are well now at the same time. Take good care and thx always for sharing...
Absolutely no clue how I even got here, one minute I was watching Judas Priest videos and next thing you know I'm watching 3 hours of videos on Hay, Drones flying in a Hail storm and now Cows. I've lived in Chicago all my life so I'm not "country aware" so to speak... but your videos are extremely interesting and very addictive.
Interesting how that happens. Been there myself on several occasions. Have had several commentors from the City. Its always good to hear that our videos have exposed you to something new you may have never thought of. Thanks for watching. -Mike
Good stuff, Mike. Thanks for your channel. Having lived in Wyoming, it is really awesome to see what you are doing. We have just started our own little farm in Arizona and have taken your suggestion to share our experience on UA-cam!
Thanks very much sir for sharing this video,,,really appreciated it...im learning...ill soon embark for my journey in dairy milking in NZ...hope soon i can make it in the US too...love to see more about cows....thanks very much
Hi Mike, it's alot easier seeing the herd in the summer than in the darkness of night and or in the morning Snow storm. Thanks for the update they look mavelous darling. Thanks for sharing. Jo Jo in VT
All true Mike. Working outdoors you feel the freedom. Even when working on homebuilder jobs. Land of the free. Home of the Brave. 🇺🇸
Thanks for watching lizardtoenails. It sure is the best being outside. -Mike
A grown man a skippin’ and a twirlin’...now that’s FREEDOM...!! You saw the cows looking at you - right?! Another GREAT VIDEO Mike!!!
LOL Im glad cows cant talk! Thanks for watching. -Mike
In the opening I was expecting you to sing “The hills are alive with the Sound of Mooosic...” :-)
Haha, I was hoping I wouldnt have to. And you would do it for me :) Thanks Ron - Mike
Don't I not strong enough to hear that x
@@OurWyomingLife "Golden Voice" Mike? C'mon man, let's hear that operatic tenor!
Just starting a small 40 acre farm and I will be watching a lot of your videos... thanks for them
Love the t-shirt!
Thanks Mike. - Mike
Where can I get one?!?! 😳😉❤️
The cows seem to enjoy your visiting them even when your not feeding them. Thanks for the video
I moved from corporate to my homesteading life, not nearly as big an operation, but all about the land, animals, gardens and mostly the family. Another great video. Keeping those radio skills alive and teaching a life others benefit from, but had little knowledge of.
Its a hard decision Nor Caligirl, but its one I havent really regretted making. Good Luck to you- Mike
Thanks Mike, you do far more than UA-cam ever will to help society and the people in it. UA-cam isn't concerned with anything by UA-cam
As always a very good video. Thank you for the time you devote to sharing.
Thankyou Jerry! - Mike

I continue to enjoy watching "Our Wyoming Life".
Thanks David. -Mike
Its strangely cathartic to just watch cattle graze. I think it's our inner hunter telling us that there's food a plenty, life is good.
It truely is JB. Its hard to put into words the serenity you can feel sometimes. -Mike
I like your heartfelt message.
Skipping through the pasture is hilarious. Thanks, Mike.
LOL Thanks for watching. -Mike
i love your videos it is so nice to fine out what is out there
Hunter, Thanks for watching. -Mike
From one land owner to another, you have my respect!
I like all of your videos. Keep them coming!!
You have the distinct voice of an auctioneer!
I'm hooked on watching your ranch. I don't have much compared to what you have only about 8 acres but we have chickens, ducks, and will have pigs depending on the time of year. So thank you for doing what you do

How beautiful your ranch is. Enjoy it because mine is far away. May God bless you and bless you in water and green grass.

Exactly High Road. I have always believed that the sharing of information and knowledge is a good thing for everybody. Thanks for watching. -Mike

Been binge watching you guys since Friday, just came up on my recommendations.
You guys are great. Subbed.

Yes, and Mike is inspiring me to share a little about my tiny sheep ranch...now I just need to work on my editing during the heat of the day!
I stumbled across this channel and now am an instant fan...the narration reminds me of Marty Stouffer's style.
Thank you for the videos Mike,I will be going thru the same thing soon,my father in law is retiring soon and me and my wife will take over the farm,I'm exited.
Wish you success Claro Que si, its so worth it in my opinion. -Mike
