Farewell my Friends 

My heart is broken to hear this but I felt in my gut something wasn't right. God Bless😢

Thank you Mike and Erin!

Life is so unpredictable, best of luck to you both.

I don't know if I will stay or not. I will give Erin a chance but I do watch for Mike and Jeff. Right before calving season good luck that's a lot of knowledge to lose right now.

Sorry to hear this. Thank you for the joy you have brought to us all in your videos. We will march on. Wish you all the best there is. Love and hugs to you. Thank you from me Gene in Iowa.

Mine too I would have never guessed this would happen

Mine too 💔

I broke down in tears

Mike see you in the Beyond the ranch 😢

So did mine

Josh I thought of you immediately when I watched this. Good luck to both of you always 🙏🏻

Maybe y’all can get back together, break up, complain, get back together, break up, call it quits for good, get back together and break up to create a lot of drama for clicks and views. Solid plan. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

yes I just unsubscribed

@@bobdonna6042 What is there to watch? It’s her family ranch but it’s his channel. I’m out.

Me too!

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

@@bobdonna6042 same

I agree. Here in the UK I just say I am gutted.

Me too, in Australia. Relationships end and it’s sad for all involved. Will follow on both channels, love to all.

@sidebusterjay Jay your comment was excellent ~ I just wish it had been much longer! I feel you have a lot of wisdom and inspiration about Mike to share with us! (Man of few words, huh? Haha). I just saw this today and immediately burst into tears of shock and pain! Like you, my heart is broken for him. I wholeheartedly agree that the hard working, wry sense of humored Mike is not only the essence of OWL he IS OWL!! This Tennessee Grandmother will follow Mike even if he only reads the Stock Market Report! There is so much I'd like to respond to your heartfelt comment. I'll come back tonight when the hundred things that need to get done are finished if you don't mind! Sharing your sadness Jay ~ Pooh

Me! I loved how Mike handlled the ranch so well. Really sad to hear this news. And having young children makes it hurt more. Sad. Love you Mike.😪

The ranch doesn't have to continue. It's Erins now.

The channel might not continue, but the ranch is a business, and if operated correctly, will flourish. Doesn’t take a RU-vid channel to make it successful. And Mike didn’t do it alone. It was a family that built and supported the channel. Praying for all of them on the road ahead.

@@bggfarm 🙏

Mike and the channel were exceptionally inspiring. I wish them all the best.

I know I won't.

waiting to for beyond the ranch. FBN should hire you... hopefully in the divore you get something lord knows for 8 years we all watched you do all the work... divore lawyers anyone help Mike out PLEASE

I so agree Mike you honored Gilbert.. I am so sad for you, you loved this place.

If he made a video about it, I’m guessing they’ve worked on it, and it’s over…

I feel the same way

Amen

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.

​​@@billmandaue2168Mike and Erin already bought the remaining land from her mom on a farm loan.

​​@@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 wonder if Jeff will even return there. I don't plan on watching to see though. I just don't believe Erin can operate all that happens and has to be done on a big ranch. So sad.

Beyond the Ranch is gaining subscribers but Mike needs to work on that channel and update it.

I keep checking beyond the ranch for a new video

I will be following it..

Who knew this would happen? BTR--sounds sort of prophetic.

Yep, I always skipped ahead when she was on. I wanted to watch the ranching.
