Join us on our journey as we leave a life in corporate america to come back to Wyoming and help on the family ranch.
Our Wyoming Life features our Wyoming ranch and our ranch family. Giving you a look into the workings of ranching from raising cattle to raising and harvesting crops. Erin will join you weekly out of the garden, showing you how she helps provide for our family through growing produce and selling at local farmers markets, and Mike will take you along as he tends to the animals and land of ranch, from calving to fencing to planting and harvesting hay.
I'll wait until I see the gold plated tractor before believing you are making a lot of money on UA-cam. Keep going! Great!
Yeah, when your tractor has "bling"... you rakin cash.. lol
All tractors are gold plated so-to-speak, you buy a tractor and it is yours but if breaks down you have to have it hauled to the dealer who is the only one allowed access to the tractors computer software and computers have IC chips that contain gold. The software is proprietary and owner does not have access to it, thank you Bill Gates and Microsoft who led the battle to keep whats yours theirs.
@@cravinbob I agree. Luckily theres still a bunch of jd 4450's around without all that computer control.
I'm sorry that some people are mean and have such unhappy lives that they feel it's o k to spread their poison to others.
Me too. I don't get it. If you don't like something then don't watch it. Why do people feel the need to be anonymous trolls?
Perhaps they want to destroy the ranching industry, they don't want people to know the truth of where our food comes from.
@@messianichebrewshawnkawcak1550 lol yep l agree
They are the parasite of the society & whether we want them or not we have to live with them, that's the harsh reality.
Thanks for your honesty. Everyone thinks we Farmers and Ranchers are rolling in the money but normally they don’t have a clue. Thanks for your candid approach to the life that we all live if we plan to live in agriculture.
You and your family are awesome, you have explained so much to us that I never understood before concerning where our food comes from. and the people behind it. You went from a radio announcer to a new rancher, but I think you make more since in explaining the different aspects of ranching. Thank you for being your self..
Howdy from TEXAS. Thank you for the insight on how youtube works I will be watching all the adds from now on.
Wow! I had no clue how that all worked! Thank-You for sharing this with all of us watching....
Personally,,, it's none of my business how much you make. I just find your videos a big help to me because, well, we got our first dozen of chickens (both layers and meat) 2 white turkeys and 2 ducks. Thank you for doing what you do. Keep up the great videos. I really enjoy watching them
Thanks for sharing, did not know about how UA-cam worked with advertising. Keep sharing the facts, the truth.
Mike&Erin, I greatly appreciate the tutorial on UA-cam. But the reasons I have religiously come back to this channel have more to do with your values. I can't claim to have seen all of your videos (but am working on it), but what I have seen is extremely impressive. GOD Bless!
Thank you for being honest and telling the story!
I love this! No one did this for you! Totally earned by you and your family. Love this!!! Glad you're doing it!!
Best video I have seen this year. Thanks for sharing and. I hope you make enough to keep the haters unhappy. I think you made a lot of friends by being so honest with your financial status
I have often wondered how it worked with the ads.and you tube. Keep making videos they are inspiration to me.
I hope you do make a bazillion off UA-cam. I grew up on a farm, in Wyoming and the profit margins are so slim. If you have found a way to stay on the farm , that's awesome!! I like your videos and they don't cost me a dime. Keep doing what you're doing and I hope you will. God bless you, your family and your farm!
Thank you so much David! Means alot to us - Mike
Thank you for the information, you are the best.
Well Done my friend...Well Done
❤ keep up the great job
So glad to hear you're making a few nickels.. Really enjoy the show..
Tq Mike for the honest explanations
As for negative comments, you have without any doubt, realized the least informed, produce the most negative comments. As for thumbs down, I often think that there are issue crusaders who scan you tube for presenters whose life style offends them and leave thumbs down without watching. Keep your chin up, you are very informative to watch and who doesn’t enjoy watching you raise your children in such an ideal location?
By god you meet the issues HEAD ON !! no one talks about the FACTS OF LIFE (income vs OUT GO) like you do
I have utube RED how does that work for you ??
You said it!!! He's the man!
It's embarrassing he has to come out and say this. People daft behind belief. Self employed is hard. 80hour weeks, someone chasing you for money. I'd love a Joe public to be in my shoes for a week and then tell me and guys like Mike how money we are making.
@@TheDvt America was built by the hard work and dedication of independent business people like Mike and Erin. The vagaries of season, weather, business cycles and changing tastes are always with us. My mother worked as a civil service person and came home at 6P.M. and that was it! She had time for housework and kids. My father was a housepainter/ decorator and he worked at times 6 days a week and then it was all brushwork, no rollers! Backbreaking! At times Soulbreaking.That's why Faith is so necessary for independent workers and owners! Physical work can be crushing!
If you listened closely the ranch was homesteaded by Mike's wife's mother's husband's ancestors. It was vacant land that government deeded to homesteaders after they "proved up" on it. Then it was passed to a couple generations who apparently avoided urban growth which is non-existent in Wyoming. In other western states if growth occurs then water rights disappear. Denver has water rights all over Colorado that once belonged to farms and ranches. Now aqueducts send water hundreds of miles to reservoirs around Denver.Much of Colorado is high desert plains which requires 20 plus acres to keep one head of cattle grazing providing weather remains perfect year in and year out. Ranches are being regulated out of existence and millionaires such as Ted Turner buy up huge chunks and lease portions out to outfitters for hunting. A 5 day elk hunt can run $5000.00 or more cheap hunts may be $3000.00.
Young people are clueless about what is happening with the land in the state and only need trails to backpack on in a National Forest. Trails! !
Hey anybody that doesn’t like the real numbers tell them to go milk a bull. LOL
Did you notice his shirt. I had to laugh.
@@andrewinbody4301 I want one!
You can get one on our website :)
I still don't understand, but I do hope that eventually you will make enough to sustain your lifestyle without having to cut the herd, or wonder where the money to buy needed supplies is coming from. You put out the best videos and they take a lot of work, so yeah, good for you. And now I know not to skip the ads. Keep going, and continue to share ranch life with us, please.
😜
It’s nobody business how much you make on the ranch or on UA-cam, I love how you share your story how you run your ranch. I really appreciate what you do.
Its easy he makes a trillion bucks lol
On the contrary......if you put content out for public consumption and you are asking for and accepting monies for this content, it's more than reasonable to ask about income, etc., etc. And, I thought Mike did an outstanding job in his response.
Consider that a cattle ranchers income is the cattle. How much of your money do you leave out in a pasture?
He did mislead with his "first generation rancher" comment. Only a millionaire can start a ranch from scratch. Ranches are passed down over the years and started out as homesteads, the land was free as long as you kept it thriving but over time things change.
I recommend you read a book called The Last Ranch. True story and quite eye-opening.
And do you know where your beef comes from? Have you ever purchased a swinging side of beef? Most "ranchers" today do not know what "swinging side" means and try to sell you a processed package of frozen beef with who-knows-what cuts are included and how much weight is involved compared to the on the hoof and hanging weight a side would net. Trying to buy a side will get you meeting guys who have a half dozen steers each year, maybe, to sell and a website that takes a credit card and will inform where to go to pick up the box of beef.
Also the tinhorn in the video said he feeds his cows... "cows" are females that have birthed calves. He only feeds cows so he will run out out of beef to sell soon and his bull his starving. He will have no heifers to grow into breeders or castrated little bulls called steers to sell and eat if he doesn't feed 'em!
I didn’t mislead anyone. I am a first generation rancher as none of my parents or grand parents are ranchers. I am working on a ranch that was homesteaded by a family other than my own. Thanks -Mike
And I am poking a little fun and if you are offended then you gotta toughen up a bit buckaroo!|And I started this replying to Peter B
Thanks for sharing. My experience with farmers is that they share nothing. I feel like I've learned so much more about ranching since I discovered this channel. I also didn't realize that when I skip the ad you don't get paid. I might suffer through some of those adds now knowing it will help pay the bills.
The least we can do is watch ads. I will let them play now.
Same here
Well, I promise to watch the ads on THIS channel; other channels, not so much ;-)
I'm curious how that works for those of us who have the paid premium subscription and don't see ads.
I'll just put the ads on mute now.
im going to turn off adblocker for this channel cause you guys really use the money for the ranch.
captain_fluff_ I almost never skip ads, I just let them play. I figure it’s the least I could do. If a person makes quality content and chooses to share that for free (to me) on UA-cam, it’s the least I can do to let someone else pay them a bit on my behalf. I will concede there are a few ads I just can’t force myself to let play though, lol
Ryan Grider Like those anti Trump ads! 😀
To be fair, almost any YT creator is going to use their income to improve their lives.
I appreciate yours and Erin's efforts with your videos. I have been watching them for nearly two years and partly because of the impact of your efforts, I moved from Hawaii to Powell, WY. to enjoy the harsh winters and the peace of rural life. Keep up the good work.
Well handled Mike.
As much as I love the social media of today, I also hate how it can be used to opress.
That's America for you! Free to be and free to oppress.
People think I make a lot also; Yet I’m still here sleeping in my car.
Love you, Cody. If you ever make it to NYC, beers are on me!
Thanks Mike....what a great way to explain this to folks. It really doesn't work out to much if you break it down per the hour. You should also make mention that Uncle Sam gets a nice cut of it too buddy. We got penalized on our taxes....almost more than we earned. Great behind the scenes video Mike!
Ignore the negative, and keep doing what you’re doing. Cows are great!
Do not ignore the negative, pay attention to it so you know what it is up to. Positive thinking is poppycock. Positive action is more desirable. Wishing is like fishing...they don't call it "catching" do they!
@@cravinbob I am new to " Our Wyoming Life" And you pissed me off as a first timer on this Blog. Keep those stuff to yourself ??? Too many like yours - " self confirmation bias " trying to be too smart. Stop wasting your time writing long useless comment. It will not get any where with most of us, who like and enjoy, watching what Mike have to share.
Wow Mike! Fantastically open video!
..... is your surname Galloway!? That's where I live in South West Scotland lol
Scottish ancestry?
You are correct sir!
Once again, thanks for taking me along Mike.
This might be the most interesting and informative video I've watched on UA-cam. Thank you so much for sharing and keep up the fight. God bless you and your family.
I think this sets your channel above the others, keep up the good work,
Thanks for taking the time out of your busy work schedule to share your life on the ranch with us. I too will start watching the ads so you can get paid for the hard work you put into your channel.
Thanks! Your willingness to discuss the economics and finance of both the ranch and UA-cam makes your videos so much more interesting and important.
Keep making these great videos! It’s one of my favorite channels!
Thank you for the time you spent. I enjoy the Wyoming life video. They take me back to my child hood
That's about the most transparent look at what it takes to make it on yt! Once again Mike, thanks for the effort of you and yours!
Thanks for the video Mike. Very informative. Don’t know why others have to post about things they know nothing about. Keep her going Mike...I think y’all are terrific for what you do!!!
Thanks for the honest insight!
Thanks for the video. I always say it's not about the money it's about the memories you're leaving behind for your children to. I did a video on just extra income on the farm allows Farmers to continue to grow it doesn't matter if it's $ 200 or 2000 it all helps. Hope you have an awesome day
Great video Mike
It is amazing how others love to shove their noses in other people's business and never have or know the truth when doing so.
Keep doing what you do.
We appreciate your family so much. I hate that anyone would send you hate mail. It is so obvious that making these videos is a ton of work. Everything from having to walk everything twice to put a camera in place to go over in the snow so we can watch you, to editing, time away from your family, etc. takes so much time. We watch your lovely family almost every day, and feel like we almost know you. Thank you for sharing your life and farm with us.
your contribution is like a trustee in a fiduciary role, but in your case, it is bigger than the bucks, it is the idea of being a Rancher, business man, family man and giving back to your local and national communities.
Thanks, Mike and Erin. Thanks for the food, thanks for teaching people about agriculture and thanks for the videos. Cheers.
Thank you Mike and Erin for staying positive throughout those people who seem don’t know how much work goes into feeding the country.
I have been on UA-cam for over 10yrs now, monetized for 7 of those years. I did some figuring and with the cost of cameras, a computer, editing software, etc. I thought I would come up with a I make a dollar per video or something. In actuality I have paid over $2 per video to upload on UA-cam. The nice thing is I enjoy posting videos, and the monetization helps me afford my hobby.
Thank you Mike for taking this issue head on!
Thanks Bill, its the only way to do it. You can't let others dictate your message. Thanks again for all you do - Mike
@@OurWyomingLife Thank you as well Mike, You and Erin have a strong voice that has been and will continue to benefit agriculture. I look forward to spending a lot more time helping you and Erin spread that message.
Thank you for all this information. I didn’t know how important the ads where, I would skip most. I have a very large amount of channels that watch. I won’t be skipping ads thanks again for the info.
Thanks for sharing love you videos
I once saw Mike and Erin on a yacht off Cape Cod. I think the yacht was called the "OWL". Mike was wearing a Brioni suit and smoking a large Cohiba. That was the moment I said damn, I need to start a UA-cam channel.. (🤣🤣🤣)
Chuckling!
Getting trolled sucks. You and your family are doing great. Keep it up.
Keep it up Mike. One of my favorite channels!
Seams like it doesn't matter what kind of job you do there is always someone with a and opinion about what you do. Stick with it Mike, Always like seeing someone is looking out for us the consumer.
Thanks Mike, that was very interesting. You and Erin do a great job and we get to enjoy your videos. I watch a lot of utube and yours is a favorite. Just know that your hard work and dedication is a source of pleasure and education for a lot of people.
Very cool. Great truthful breakdown.
People do not realize how much work it takes to do a video for UA-cam the hours of videoing and the hours of editing P/S I JUST Ordered beef jerky thank you again Mike
I made sure to post the link to this video on the poser's video he made.
Keep them coming love learning from you
Mike, all I have to say is how some people love to try to kick others with a keyboard, you handled this very well and keep up the work you do to put food out for the masses...
We run 200 cows and the only thing that really allows us to continue is a full time job off the farm which provides income and health insurance. Running cows provides a great satisfying livestyle...just not a lucrative one, money wise. In order to survive in agriculture today you need diversity in your income streams, which you UA-cam income provides. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the breakdown. I’ll try to watch more of the adds. Love your videos, and how you talk, you did not have to tell people how much y’all make. Are we going to get to hear you play the guitar? 😎
SCREW any negative comments...the only good negative comments are those that become CONSTRUCTIVE..other than that, human nature means 10% of people are LOOSERS...just life...same for ALL YT channels...trust me...every YT channel MUST go through this learning curve...I am amazed how many "guys" get upset over comments...SCREW THEM...seriously, LET IT GO...this is a GREAT video...tell YOUR truth so others cannot! LOVE THAT
Great information Mike! Forget the haters and keep your head held high. Have been with you since the beginning and you are doing an awesome job. 😉👏🤠
Thank you for sharing your story, and keep up the great work. You and your family have much to be proud of. Ignore the negative trolls! You deserve every penny you make for all of your hard work!
Thank you very much. We appreciate it
Thanks Mike you just educated me on how UA-cam workseven though I find it's none of our business how much money you make off ofI don't want your videos to wonder how much money you make I watch your videos to learn where our food comes from and how you're doing it and keep going year by year you your wife your kids your mother-in-law how y'all live off the ranch ❤️ so thank you for everything that you do to bring these videos to us so we get educated so maybe you should receive teachers pay so it sounds like you already are lol
I love your humble educational delivery inside your
Wyoming Life!
I’ve learned so much and pray the good Lord sends me my husband to have such a life at 61 years old!
Your children are so blessed with you as wonderful patient parents!🇺🇸
God bless you guys from
Portland Oregon!
Pray for our once charming city now looking like a 3rd world post war zone!
😱😭🙏
Thank you for bringing me back to my roots. You have been a reminder of how I was raised, something I was starting to forget. Please keep up the good work.
What I think truly sets you above the bar is how you took the time to debunk some guys myth about something he has not a clue about - yet you didn't name the person or bash their character; You simply stated facts vs. BULLSHIRT ( ;-) ) and kept it all 1st Class. Bravo, Mike! Been with you now for nearly 2 years and am amazed at how interesting your ranch life is and how I look forward to watching yours and Erin's videos and my goodness, how your children are growing! Are they getting into your fertilizer!?!!
Keep doing what you’re doing sir and you will continue to prosper, you have a great channel.
Its a harsh environment out there this days. Its everywhere. With family ,friends, neighbors,etc. Was hoping to hear that you're making a TON $$$ A forgiving heart over here. No jealousy. Peace
Thanks for the insight mike , love the videos thanks for sharing your lives with us
Wow! Who knew. Thanks for sharing. I enjoy your show. God bless and good luck to Aaron and you, your children and family. Especially good health to Aaron's mom.
I remember seeing that video shortly after I started watching OWL. It was pretty obvious that dude had no clue how advertising revenue worked. Still, your numbers are a bit higher than I would have guessed. Congrats on your success!
At last a Truth full video on what bloggers make. I make farming videos here in Ireland 🇮🇪 and There’s a myth is that we make a fortune out of it. Truth is for the hours that’s put in. It really pays very little and yet some begrudge us getting the small amount of revenue we do get. Your really need to like making videos and telling your story. Well done on the channel and keep up the great videos 👍
Thank you -Mike
What I want to know...
You watch an ad, it's over, the screen turns grey, there's a little 10 second timer in the bottom left corner.
If you click skip at this point does the channel still get credit for you viewing the ad?
Well said. Don’t let them get your spirits down! Unfortunately what you hear most is going to be negative, but a large number of us already know the truth and don’t feel it’s our place to comment. And moreover if you were making $30k a month I’d be happy for you because your good people and do good things. And I hope you blow $30k a month out of the water some day! Good luck to you.
Great video .. I just love your channel always great content.. I always watch the ads to support. Keep up the great work.
Go to fraudulent video and click 3 dots in upper right. Report the liar. I'm sure if youtube gets 100k customers reporting 1 video they will address the liar. You might not be able to take his video down, but we can!
Thanks Mike for your honesty and perseverance in doing what you love. My applause for you and Erin for the work you both accomplish. My thanks for this video
Judy
I'm Glad I have Ad blocker.
I hate adds from big corporations,
I already pay enough For internet service and I know what I want to buy. I don't need Advertisers trying to sell me stuff I don't need nor want.
Does this mean when we hit the “skip adds” button about 5 seconds in, you get less or no revenue from that?
Minimum to watch is 30 seconds
@@davelawson2564 Thanks, that's nice to know.
Hey mike, great video! Nothing worse than a hater.your viewers are here to watch your daily life on the ranch..not how much you make from the videos.all your time that goes into producing a video and how you are compensated is solely your business..Please keep on doing what you do.Thanks again for Our Wyoming life!
I think it’s none of their business how much you make from your videos.
I hope you make bank with them and you Mike and Erin grow your subscribers. Good luck and keep them coming.
Your financial business is your private matter. I wish for yours and Erin's mental health you could ignore or put blinders on regarding the trolls. You could disable comments. No other viewer cares about my opinions on things--and actually, I don't care about the opinions of other viewers. Maybe one of your moderators would take on the task of going through them before they are posted. You guys are great people. Please try to focus on your fans and let the others fall to the wayside. And may you make that 200K someday!!
You have helpfully taught many people "How to make a UA-cam" video, along with all the ways to improve a video too. I have sent the link to your channel to several who wanted to make a UA-cam video or were struggling with their channel. All our subscribers now and reference you. Your background was great networking for viewers.
Some people have nothing better to do but stick their noses where is doesn’t belong. Keep up the videos. I look forward to them every week. Ranching is hard enough and 99% of ranchers do something else to make extra money on the side. Most people don’t understand that ranching is most of the time a break even operation if you paid yourself a wage. And why not. It is a hard job. So don’t worry about what other people say. They will never understand. The people that watch every week. We understand and like your channel. I personally like that no matter what you are going through you tell it like it is. The truth. It is refreshing. Keep it up. I’m with you.
It took a lot of guts to keep after it after you initial “helping out” was done. Raising kids and letting a family grow on a ranch will pay off in spades long after you and Erin are gone. Good job
Hello Mike. I am sorry there are idiots out here that put out stupid crap they don’t understand. Frankly this is an IQ issue and I have found that unfortunately there are many people going through life that sat in the back row at school and they never did any different in life. You didn’t discuss how much you folks make off of UA-cam when people like me subscribe to it. I pay a flat fee so I don’t get commercials. And no, I don’t know how you would figure your cut. I am just curious. Keep up the good work.
I'm going to cut this one short as I feel that while I have good friends who are creators, one with 10m subs, one with almost 300k subs but his views on his last video hit 8.5m it's just none of my business on how much you or anyone makes on UA-cam. As a fan of the channel I clicked that Subscriber Button and Rang that bell because its clean content, down to Earth and you remind me about my love for animals and that childhood dream of owning my own ranch.
Hate mail, that's so dam sad that people have nothing better to do with their lives than to troll and try to extend a part of their own miserable lives on others.
Keep up the great work, I'll always support you guys/gals, and when you hit 1m subs, with 1B views you can send that creator a ticket to the Ranch on us... then drive him to the farthest corner of the ranch.and let him walk back.
Mike the guys that put you down doesn't get many hits on their channel. i say more power to you. What your doing is keeping America moving forward.
You candidly put it out there! I appreciate that, at the end of the day, your business is none of my business. I hope the truth will shut the jealous boneheads. Food, like freedom, isn't free. Best wishes.
Sorry to hear you've been getting mean/nasty comments. No excuse for that. I'm glad you hit this head on and set the record straight. I think it is ridiculous that they take 45% off the top from you. Thanks for making videos.
Thanks for taking the high road, so many people like to stir up trouble these days, Carry on brother, you're doing good.
Remember folks, 99 percent of your friends and family that act like they have money, just remember they are great actors. Embarrassed to be broke. Embarrassed that they won't be taken seriously unless they have money. People really are great actors when it comes to money.
Well done and said mike.
When you gonna start narrating for the discovery channel......
Whitewater Cowboys I AGREE WITH YOU, their videos belong on Discovery Channel. Someone needs to forward some of their vids to the Discovery Channel
He should keep narrating on here, though. Learn more on this channel than the discovery channel
You should do a collaboration with
Welker family farms or the MN Millennia farmer.
I think it could be cool and maybe boost your subs.
Either way keep up the great work
Your family rocks
I think more smaller channels that involve farming, ranching or homesteading should collaborate more. More exposure to the realities of life, real life, maybe people can see real America.
I have enjoyed watching some of the channels bouncing back and forth. Zach and Brian like to give Cole the CornStar a hard time! Haha
I've farmed. I've also had years that I would have been glad to make $2.87 an hour. Some things you do because you like to.
When I started my channel I never imagined that I would be making friends from all around the world.I like the community feeling. If we have a question about something on the farm we just ask. It’s amazing how there’s always people there to help figure stuff out.It reminds me of group of friends hanging out at a small country store BSing. Thanks for sharing your life on the ranch with us. Have a good week.
Are the taxes on your UA-cam income a rate similar to working a regular 40hr a week job? Thanks for the video
I love this channel I own 30 cows and 12 sheep on my small if I could call it a ranch in ohio and I always use your tips
Ahhh, the life of a Wyoming rancher. Or as my great-uncle Bud used to call it, the hardest minimum wage job you'll ever have. Good luck, though. Looks like you're doing things right. It's a tough life, my family gave up by the early 80s. 100 years out on the range was enough, I suppose. Glad to be out of Wyoming honestly. Ceaseless wind, 12 ft snowdrifts that appear overnight, freezing temperatures in September, you can have it all. Takes a special person.
