There are cattle ranchers and cattle owners, there are land owners and land care takers, they differ in how they feel about the ranch and the cattle under their care and the land under their care. You my friend are a cattle rancher in ever sense of the word.

Thank you very much, you really just made me smile! - Mike

Best cow we had was an angus/holstein cross... and she would often take in lost twins.. she weaned 3 one year, the same weight as any other!

@OurWyomingLife 6 лет назад

Wow, yea thats a good milk making mom! - Mike

@michaelowen1750 6 лет назад

I must add this was in Virginia, with only a dozen cows on 40 acres in a rainy summer.. they couldn't eat fast enough and we actually had to bale the pasture they were in...

It’s must be a good feeling to see the calves playing and happy and the girls look so happy

@OurWyomingLife 6 лет назад

They love it! - Mike

@SWDesert1535 6 лет назад

Great video! I’ve seen other farmers and ranchers that sure didn’t have your dedication or compassion. I’m so pleased to have met you, via RU-vid. Blessings to you.

@OurWyomingLife 6 лет назад

Thank you very much my friend, we are blessed to know you as well. - Mike

@letysmallwood5042 6 лет назад

Another great video Mike. Having viewed alot of your videos I made a decision. I do not want to be a rancher. I prefer my ranch life to be through your videos. Keep them coming for all of us to enjoy.

@OurWyomingLife 6 лет назад

That is perfectly fine, I dont mind at all, live away! - Mike

@rodneywroten2994 6 лет назад

awesome job on the milk rack Mike. I can remember bottle feeding calves myself. it will wear you down

@OurWyomingLife 6 лет назад

They do wear you out, its like a constant fight of the wills - Mike

@wildog47 3 года назад

Seeing how much you love those cows brings a smile to my face. You respect and care for them as you should. Love your channel. I love watching before bed you voice helps me relax hahaha

@jerrybeaver9212 6 лет назад

Great job Mike, those little calf's act just like puppies, Mackenzie and Grace sure are enjoying their new playmates (makes me smile) what a great way to raise your kids. Blessings to the ranch,tell Erin,Mackenzie,and Grace I said hello -Jerry

@OurWyomingLife 6 лет назад

Thank you Jerry, they love it out there and now that the weather is nicer they are out all the time, having the run of the ranch. it is wonderful! - Mike

@mustefareshid5646 5 лет назад

I'm binge watching your amazing videos. Thanks.

@craigschofield64 6 лет назад

Good Morning Mike, Erin & girls, Watching this video brought back some really good memories and some memories I rather forget...(ie cleaning corals & stalls)....lol Here is something you might think of as funny in away, you spoke about never getting rid of things on the ranch. Well I worked for my uncle on his farm back in middle school & all through high school & since I am considerably taller than the average person my uncle got me my own shovel and pitch fork with longer handles than normal so using them didn't hurt my back. (As much)😉 I am now in my mid 50's and years ago at the county fair someone walked off with my pitchfork and I never replaced it. But I still own and use that shovel after 40+ years. With a couple coats of linseed oil every year on the handle to kept it from drying out and it still gets the job done, except now I use it cleaning up wet snow from the driveway instead of the wet stuff that comes out of the Southend of a North bound cow or horse...lol Great video thanks for the blast from the past!😁

@OurWyomingLife 6 лет назад

That is awesome! I'm not sure how tall you have to be to get your own tools but I can imagine pretty tall. Glad I could help! - Mike

@generobben7290 6 лет назад

That was so darn cute. I have not seen a calf follow a person like a puppy. Another great video.

@OurWyomingLife 6 лет назад

They are very food motivated. Thanks Gene - Mike

@NickFrom1228 5 лет назад

Oh yes, they will play around, especially as Mike says, for food. You would be surprised. We had a bull and a steer that were both like puppy dogs. They each had their own ways. The bull would sneak up behind you when you feeding and "nudge" you. Of course his nudge could send you flying over the hay but he would stand there like "What? Now come scratch me." The steer was similar but it was always "come scratch me" time with him.

@robertshufflebotham5192 6 лет назад

We raise 12 to 15 bottle calves a year. Other ranchers in the area do not want to fool with them. It is another stack of dollars we get. We are here taking care of our own calves, helping a few more live is no big deal. Thank you Robert Shufflebotham

@OurWyomingLife 6 лет назад

Makes total sense, good work! - Mike

@NickFrom1228 5 лет назад

Other ranchers won't fool with them? Man, its a great way to get kids involved in the operations. It doesn't take much to mix it up and put it in the holder. Its a nice simple task that helps them build confidence and familiarity.

@randykeating9593 6 лет назад

Another great video Mike ! Bottle calves are alot of work ,but very rewarding knowing that you have nursed them back, and gave them life....good job !!!

@OurWyomingLife 6 лет назад

You said it! Thanks - Mike

@pjklawitter7398 6 лет назад

When we use to have bottle calves, I tried to get them to drink out of buckets ASAP. Just have the calf suck your finger and dip it into the bucket of milk replacer. With in two or three feedings and the calves will know how to drink out of the bucket. I would hang the bucket about 2 or 3 inches off from the ground with a carabiner. I would have to spread the buckets about 3 or more feet apart because one calf will finish before the other ones and push the slow one out of their bucket. I can see you having this problem with all the bottles so close together, but best of luck. Love the channel and and a highlight of my week when you post a new video!

@OurWyomingLife 6 лет назад

Thank you very much - Mike

@JohnVanRuiten 5 лет назад

Dang, these videos just keep getting better. Great job Mike. You're doing a good job of making your job fun! That's half the battle.

@OurWyomingLife 5 лет назад

Thats one thing I try to do all the time, thanks - Mike

@paintsmh 6 лет назад

I just wanted to thank you for these video series. Our 4 year old daughter Peg loves them, although she is now telling me we need to come buy a calf from you (head-desk repeat), which I now am trying explain to her the distance between our upstate NY farm with beef and other livestock, and your Wyoming ranch. But she'll sit and watch your videos for hours, which is a huge improvement over the cartoons that make my head throb. So thanks for taking the time to put these together!

@OurWyomingLife 6 лет назад

Thank you very much and please say hi to Peg for us. I am so happy we can give you relief from the cartoons, we know how that goes :) - Mike

@paintsmh 6 лет назад

Our Wyoming Life I wish RU-vid allowed photos in comments, I gave her an hour on her Kindle, because dad's sick and I had more chores to finish. I just came in the house to find she picked your channel to watch, and passed out clutching it. Far rather she learned something than just melted her brain!

@TwoFarmBoys 6 лет назад

They remind me of little dogs the way they follow you around and ride with you! So cute!

@OurWyomingLife 6 лет назад

That they do. Thank you - Mike

@lostnation5348 6 лет назад

When I worked at the farm, I used to come into work a half hour early just to hang out with the new calves. I had forgotten that. Thank You.

@OurWyomingLife 6 лет назад

You are very welcome, glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching - Mike

@brianernst7979 6 лет назад

I like how you think on your feet, keep about everything you can for reuse. Started watching the Swedish Homesteader recently, you two have a lot in common, he just markets on a smaller scale, The world need more people like you two.

Thank you very much Brian, quite a compliment. :) - Mike

@MySpitfire19 5 лет назад

This was my job from the time I was 8. Every day before the school bus and every day after. It's some of my most cherished childhood memories. I was so upset when my dad bought a milk cow to put the bum calves on cause he was getting too old to be up all the time to feed them.

@samkoch8918 6 лет назад

Nice job on the bottle rack Mike!!!

@OurWyomingLife 6 лет назад

Thank you Sam - Mike

@stureid5928 6 лет назад

I was really impressed by your respect and reverence that you gave to calf number 13. Not a lot of people around who would do that. Thanks.

@OurWyomingLife 6 лет назад

When you spend a couple of weeks with an animal everyday for multiple hours per day they tend to grow on you. Thank you very much - Mike

Hi I am 13 and I buy bottle calves to raise I love it and love what you are doing keep it up

@marybrantley2160 5 лет назад

Just discovered your wonderful program!! Love and caring for animals is difficult but so rewarding and requires great time and energy. Seems your family has done a great job with this. Very impressive set up. Obviously, your knowledge and hard work contributes to success. Became totally involved after viewing the calfs when mamas abandoned them for whatever reason, your care and treatment was so impressive. Thank you for sharing your work, love and caring of all the animals and family on ...your Wyoming Life.

@BillTheTractorMan 6 лет назад

I miss buying bottle calves and raising them on my grandparents farm. The feeling of accomplishment was amazing. Always hated seeing them head into town for butcher. I got better over the years but I still treated them like pets and spoiled them.

@OurWyomingLife 6 лет назад

Its very easy to do, we do enjoy them while they are here. Thanks Bill - Mike

@mikesnodgrass5312 4 года назад

My Dad, also a Wyoming cattleman had little use for sheep but he said sheep could actually count better than cows when it came to twins. :)

Nice video, very effective bottle holder. Sometimes you gotta feel like your living the dream. Keep up the good work.

@OurWyomingLife 6 лет назад

When we came here my mom told me I was living my dads dream, turns out its mine as well. Thanks - Mike

@peretzo 6 лет назад

Your channel is fantastic. The calves are such beautiful creatures and you handle them so lovingly. I’m vegan, so i do find the videos a bit sad to watch, knowing the eventual fate of these cows. But your talent in both handling livestock and capturing it all on film is undeniable. Kudos from Israel

@DXWXMX44 6 лет назад

Mike - really glad you are taking such good care of those little guys! I can see how you could get attached to them pretty quick. I like your bottle feeder! It really all adds up to quite a different life.

@brentfarrow8125 6 лет назад

Just totally awesome,love baby calf’s,but the bulls I would keep for awhile. Having that many twins from the size of your herd is a average above normal.The only trouble with bottle calf’s is you get overly attached to them. Again thanks for you taking time to show 97% of the people what is involved and invested in a working cow calf operations 😎

@OurWyomingLife 6 лет назад

Thank you Brent. :) - Mike

@lennartdundys2657 6 лет назад

I remember working on a farm as a young man and bottle feeding calves, I became so attached to the calves that I actually cried when my favorite calf died

Hi Mike , you might be able to patent that bottle feeder , only needs one manufacturer to show interest , and your into some Extra Bucks !!! Thank you for the Video

@OurWyomingLife 6 лет назад

Thank you very much, great idea! - Mike

@outcastprojects6733 6 лет назад

Cool video Mike.Have you ever considered getting a jersey or Holstein that has lost a calf and putting her in a stantion with hobvles for them to nurse till she gets used to them, I have seen one Holstein take 5 calves, I only have one of my calves on my jersey but she is a small cow. I noticed that my nurse calves are much stronger and less stunted than bucket calves. I sure love y'all's videos.Keep them coming!

@OurWyomingLife 6 лет назад

Thank you Chris. I'm sure at some point Erin is going to get a milk cow. It will make calving season a bit easier. :) - Mike

@CharlieParker1959 6 лет назад

Have you ever thought about the Friesian breed of cow they are good milkers and mothers... God bless you and your family Mike.....

@OurWyomingLife 6 лет назад

Thank you Charlie, I have not but I will take some time to look into it - Mike

@martinjenkins5471 5 лет назад

They have too much milk for two calves , better mothers are Angus or Hereford Holstein cross. Rear big calves , more milk than plain beef breads. Dairy shorthorns are the best mothers , low dairy producers but can feed calves good. My father had a shorthorn he retired from the dairy and lived her days out producing the biggest Hereford cross calve . Sold for top price to butchers when weaned at 8 months old.

@GerraldFarms 6 лет назад

Nice vid. It’s feel good when your able to help the little ones. We have a Jersey my son saved when he was small now he as bad as a dog when you go in the pasture.👍🏻

@OurWyomingLife 6 лет назад

Yea we get that too.. Always fun, especially when you are trying to work with the other cows. Thanks - Mike

@joanpierson2576 4 года назад

Love watching your channel. Erin you are doing great with your huge garden and all the other stuff you do.I would so love to come to one of your Ranch Roundups. I used to be involved in Rodeo a lot as both my sons were Bull riders. But thats finished now.

@rachelboyd281 5 лет назад

I really love your videos. We have brangus cattle and have a baby calf that were bottle feeding cause the momma died. It was a loss we don't want to lose any but it happens sometimes. I loved the bottle design. Keep up the good work.

@dennishugie6017 6 лет назад

Thank you I enjoy watching your videos. Great job on the bottle feeder. Yes bottle feeding is lot of fun and so is watching the little calves play

@rayeddy528 6 лет назад

That was some great stuff Mike ! I think I have allergies because I had a little water in my eye !! At least that is my story and I am sticking to it ! lol.

I love you guys.i have a small farm I've started and my husband and I work on one we don't own.we care for 400 cows during winter here in Burlington Co. And all the calves they have.i love it but because our boss doesn't make sure everything we need to do a good job is here we usually end up loosing quiet a few.the calves come home with me and are mine if I save them.wish I had my own house,land and money to get myself set up to really keep going but for now I do with what I have.

@OurWyomingLife 6 лет назад

Hes doing well so far, he did well last night in the corral and this morning he ate 2 bottles. All four calves lined up at the new bottle holder is a cute sight. All tails wagging. I have always wanted to try a lathe! - Mike

@terrybruce5923 6 лет назад

Hi Mike! Well the Title reads "Happiness is a Full Bottle." So I was wondering if the winter was extra bad and you went for the Jack Daniels :) That was a clever solution to accommodate 4 bottle calves. You are the MacGyver of Cowboys. How did you figure all off that stuff out when you first started ?...like mothers abandoning a twin, for example. Fun Video to watch...your own kids are growing fast. Thanks! Terry - Justin, Texas

@OurWyomingLife 6 лет назад

Thanks Terry, no running for the bottle yet for me. Honestly when we first came it was tough, we learned alot by ourselves by trying and doing and learning from our mistakes. 80 had a set of twins one year, she was always a good mom and we didnt think it would be a problem to leave them on her. Didn't take long and one was gone. Lesson learned. :) - Mike

Calfnapper! Lol, Great job, on a ranch or farm animals are top priority behind family. Would like to know how the feeder has held up. That was a great idea and build👍 I'm pretty much all hat and no cattle these days, but I actually miss them. My 12 year old self would have never believed that I would, especially while chopping a hole in the ice in our spring fed water cistern before school so the cows and horses had water in winter. Really liking the vids 🤠👍

@LETOreptiles 6 лет назад

Don't they have buckets with several nipples in the US? Here in Belgium all farmers use those with one or more nipples (depending on the amount of calves)

@OurWyomingLife 6 лет назад

Hmm, I'm not sure if I have ever seen them. Thanks though, I look around - Mike

@LETOreptiles 6 лет назад

Our Wyoming Life www.fanevalleystores.com/product/150554/calf-suckling-feeder-bucket-with-teat-8-ltr like this. I thought there were ones with several nipples on one bucket but those are for lambs. But the thing you built definitely works so maybe it's not worth it.

@sherischneider2672 6 лет назад

Our Wyoming Life Mike, here is a link to a a 5 nipple multi feeder with plugs available for holes you don't use. www.enasco.com/p/Peach-Teat%E2%84%A2-5-Teat-Calf-Feeder---8-Gallon-Capacity%2BC28042N?siteName=Nasco&styleView=gridStyle&searchPath=All+Products%2F%2F%2F%2FNasco&pageTitle=Search+C28042N+%7C+Nasco My husband would build a feeder from a 5 gallon bucket that he would hang from the ceiling in the barn. The previous comment on this thread has a great link to many styles of feeders for ideas and nipples that can be used to build your own feeder if you don't want to buy one.

I've never done the bucket thing, do you have a bracket or something it sits in so they dont knock it over? - Mike

Mike what an awesome video I really enjoyed this one and so did my wife How is #59 doing? I thought you had a great idea on the bottle holder or feeder whatever you want to call it is it still working well? If only you had an automatic mixer and filler machine for the bottles. LOL I can not believe the number of twins you have had this year I wonder if they could all be from the same bull. LOL Have a great day and week. Will talk to you soon. God Bless!!!

#59 is doing great, he spent last night out with the calves and this morning he ate two bottles so hopefully hes getting some strength back. The bottle holder worked well this morning too. All four of them lined up at it. Thank you Sir - Mike
