Love watching these videos. I have a chronic Illness that keeps me stuck in bed most days but for whatever reason God put it in my heart to want a ranch. These videos are a fantastic distraction from what I’m not able to do but also teach me a ton just in case I get some kind of miracle. Thank you, sincerely. I appreciate you.
From a Montana Rancher- I have cut Protein and Mineral Costs by 90% by just feeding Wheat or Barley Grass Sprouts about a 1/2 Ton a day to the Thousand Cows. It Costs about $50 a Ton to grow and you are done in 7 Days and feeding it. After the Cows get use to it, they just come a running for it when they see the Pickup coming.
You have ranching down to a fine science. Not being born to it I would say you are doing very well. I know you have devoted many hours to study and observation. Well done.
A great video. One of the best informative video's I've seen on UA-cam. It's not only geared for mass production like yours but it's also great for small homestead operations. Thank you for doing this for us.
This guy is NOT mass production!! His operation is much more toward a more traditional use of resources. Support this man's operation with all your effort, for they are the ones that keep us fed!!
Can you make a video o the lifecycle of the cow from birth to death. How many years they can live, how many babies they can give, milk production, bull to cow ratio, possibility of 2 or more babies, oldest cow you have, etc.
With so many cows all using the same mineral feeders, is transmitting diseases a concern? Like how humans can spread diseases in saliva and snot such as hepatitis, cold/flu, etc.
You guys are my favorite ranchers, every bit of advice you put out in your videos, I learn from. Can’t wait for my ranch to grow because of you guys. Keep on rockin!
Here’s a New Idea! Give your T-Shirt suplier 12-photos of Our Wyoming Life (Pigs, Cows, Chickens, you rolling out a bale of hay feeding the cows, Aren behind her Farmer’s Market Table, some Round-Up pics, .....) and CREATE a 12-Page WALL CALENDARS with one photo per month For Sale on your you tube channel to raise funds for new farm equipment.
I watch these Videos because Mike does such a great job of simplifying the ranching process he makes it easy for an average joe such as myself to understand who what when how and why things happen on the ranch!!! 💪 Video Mike !!!
This is great content. It's educational, well produced and professional. I love the exploration of the economics behind the ranch while tying to the natural cycle of the ranch.
I knew you were hardworking but OMG Mike - y’all are the hardest working people I know!! Thank you so much for taking us along. I have learned so much from your wonderful videos. Don’t know how you do it all but God love you...❣️❣️❣️
Great explanation of cattle yearly cycles and how you have to base their feed to certain times in the cycle. I love your vids so much. I don't even have cattle, but growing up thru my teens we had black Angus and our neighbor had Herefords. So it brings back lots of fond memories. I'm partial to Angus since we raised them.👍🐃😊
Hi again! MIKE lol you almost sound like you know what you're doing lol! Excellent vid full of info. You should be really proud of how far you've come from the beginning. Good job...
Cow Production Cycle...a Cowlendar, if you will. I really do enjoy learning about the operations & planning practices at the ranch. Please keep it coming!
I'm not a farmer, a rancher, etc.. but still your videos are entertaining. I am either bored or just want to know as much about everything I can. Either way keep it up.
Mike, I greatly appreciate this high quality, set simple to understand video. Being currently in a college livestock nutrition course and having a family member and several family friends who are cattle nutritionists as well as being a cattle feeder and cow/calf producer, cattle nutrition is something I think about daily. I'm glad you explained why you choose to calve in April and May in your part of the country because of weather and nutritional needs of the cow. It is different everywhere. We choose to calve Mid-February through early April because we implement an AI program for our herd which is a seedstock herd and AI our cows and heifers before they go to grass for the best conception rates.
Mike? Tractor supply sales a 90 pound bag of gracing hay that covers an acre. Is that accurate? Does your hay continue to grow annually? Or do you replant? 👍🙏🇺🇸
Hi Mike love watching from South Africa very similar farming problems and challenges one question what is your calving percentage and i hope the calf price is good
Seems like you & I need to have a sit down with Mother Nature & explain how some of your rain keeps getting shipped down here to Texas every year so she can do something about it! :-) Great informative video as always!
Very informative video Mike! Interesting to see how humans adapt to a natural cycle not their own. Was down to 41 here this morning. Seems like a hint that fall and frost are not far off. Time to check on your high tunnels for leaks? -Bob...
In addition to gray and black, cows see muted versions of yellow and blue. Unlike human eyes, cows have only two color receptors. They won't see all the possible shades of yellow and blue, especially as they lean toward the green spectrum, but their world isn't totally made up of shades of gray. Thanks for watching - Mike
Here lies the difficulty, the processor/packing house was never to be able to participate in the markets. What we are seeing now is the reversal and reason for that clause in the free market needing to be there!

Raching has come a long ways
Would it help if you serenade the cows with some Trace adkins? They may not get the minerals but they will get an earful of trace.
😆😆😆😆👍
Another very informative video. Thanks for helping us understand the thought process of ranching,
Thanks Mike!! See you again soon - Mike
Can you make a video o the lifecycle of the cow from birth to death. How many years they can live, how many babies they can give, milk production, bull to cow ratio, possibility of 2 or more babies, oldest cow you have, etc.
👍
Nicely done, Mike.
I always learn from your channel, thanks!!!
🐄❤️
very nice explanation of the cow cycle. thank you!
How many licks does it take to get to the bottom of a lick barrel? The world may never know..
If you have a week or so next summer you can come and count.. I'll bring the refreshments! - Mike
@@OurWyomingLife only if there is a tootsie roll at the center.. and you have to eat it.
Lol

Thanks for the information

Hi Mike love your vids so much !!!
Cow Production Cycle...a Cowlendar, if you will.
I really do enjoy learning about the operations & planning practices at the ranch. Please keep it coming!
An old rancher told me years ago that the grass has to mature before the cow can and then the ranch can. So you are absolutely right Mike
I'm not a farmer, a rancher, etc.. but still your videos are entertaining. I am either bored or just want to know as much about everything I can. Either way keep it up.
What edit software do you use, Mike? You make such clean videos.
I use adobe premiere pro for most of it :) Thank you sir - Mike
May need to brush up on your trombone. LOL

Thanks for the lesson in cow gut maintenance.

I really like your videos, it's really informative since I am new to this industry. Nice work, and keep it up.
These videos are TOP NOTCH

Fall begins Monday mornin Sep 23 at 1:50. Happy Fall Mike.
Good video
Thank you Dillon - Mike
What are the "flowers" at 2:00?
Mike? Tractor supply sales a 90 pound bag of gracing hay that covers an acre. Is that accurate?
Does your hay continue to grow annually? Or do you replant?
👍🙏🇺🇸
Hi Mike love watching from South Africa very similar farming problems and challenges one question what is your calving percentage and i hope the calf price is good
Seems like you & I need to have a sit down with Mother Nature & explain how some of your rain keeps getting shipped down here to Texas every year so she can do something about it! :-)
Great informative video as always!
Do y'all sell 100% of your calves or do you keep back some as replacement heifers to keep your own herd up?
0:56 some dandy cattle right there.
Very informative video Mike! Interesting to see how humans adapt to a natural cycle not their own. Was down to 41 here this morning. Seems like a hint that fall and frost are not far off. Time to check on your high tunnels for leaks? -Bob...
Well they always leak lol, some day Erin will get the green house she really wants. Thanks Bob - Mike
so muck to keep track ……..and 108 k subscribers yeah jim
do Cows see color ?
In addition to gray and black, cows see muted versions of yellow and blue. Unlike human eyes, cows have only two color receptors. They won't see all the possible shades of yellow and blue, especially as they lean toward the green spectrum, but their world isn't totally made up of shades of gray. Thanks for watching - Mike
@@OurWyomingLife Mike I'm Mike too
You can’t do all this to break even not a chance
Here lies the difficulty, the processor/packing house was never to be able to participate in the markets. What we are seeing now is the reversal and reason for that clause in the free market needing to be there!
How many head do y’all have ?
I'm not Mike but the run about 150 cows
How many cows would you say are necessary to make a living ?
What are your thpughts on the climate crisis?
💥👍
First
Thanks Sean - Mike
Very interesting.
