Mike, you made that Ranch. I just can't hardly watch anymore without you there. I'm glad to see you happy. If you are ever in Richmond Indiana, you can stop and video are Farm. You will always be welcome. You have touched ALOT of ppls lives more than you know. Thanks for that
So glad you got the house you wanted, that you've stopped smoking, that the kids like their second home. Keep moving forward. Happy to be able to watch these videos as you share them.
Mike, Even with Jeff back on the ranch, it will never be the same without you. I have tried my best to watch but it is difficult to Hang in there for a full video. Miss seeing you but understand you are busy with a job and children. You are in our prayers for peace and success.
You've got a wonderful home, a wonderful yard, wonderful pets, and super-wonderful children. You've got it all! May God continue to bless you in every way.
Congratulations on quitting smoking! I’m a mechanic in a large shop, bunch of guys I’ve worked with have struggled with it. We’ve put a couple in the ground so you have made the wise choice
I will keep watching you miss you at the ranch Don’t give up youtube Congratulations on quitting smoking. That was one of the best things I’ve ever done. Was hard but I’m glad I did it. Hang in there
I literally just found the other channel an hour ago. I have been steady watching video after video and the saw the Farewell video.... I came across the channel and thought wow how exciting to see what living on a ranch in Wyoming is like ( born and raised in Florida) after seeing the very 1st story of how they left the city and jobs and went to live on her fathers ranch, getting his 1st calf from her dad , building a house for her mom , having their children i was set and fully invested on Yep this is going to be a good, relaxing channel to learn from. Well in that hour it went from excitement to pure heart break. Mike's voice is so soothing at 2am in the morning when you have extreme anxiety and insomnia and need something holsom and pure to keep you from getting scared in the middle of the night and especially with whats going on in our country. I don't know but .. wasn't there enough land that mike could have built himself and house on the total opposite side of the property she could have let him live on to stay apart of his children's lives and be apart of the ranch. I guess that's wishful thinking that families could just get along enough to at least give children a sense of safety with both parents able to live apart but still have a family unit. Divorce sucks for the kids . Good luck Mike . I guess I'll stay on the beach.
Mike you have really been missed!! So so glad to see you back & in your New Home...it's beautiful & I know you will be happy. I'm sure it is and has been very difficult for you, just remember we are here for you & will always be watching & waiting for your next video. Congratulations on your new home & life. ❤🙏
I am so glad you were able to get a home. It would be so nice if in 4-5 years you can get a small piece of land and have a some animals you enjoy with your kids. Good for you for stop smoking agin. Not easy. God bless🇨🇦
I think Erin probably should have hired him and left him on the ranch. She is going to struggle to do this alone now. They are co-parenting, they probably could have co-operated the ranch. Easier said than done, I know. Good luck Mike!
@@Rancher-oh7ew That wouldn't be a good idea. Divorced couples really need some time apart to grieve the marriage and adjust to their new lives to remain amicable. Yes, co-parenting means communicating and acting like a team with an ex, but that's a far cry from spending 40+ hours a week at working with each other.
The difference between the other fella is that you had no choice but to come back to the city. You seemed to really love the ranch life, you wanted to show everyone the ups and the downs of it so they could make informed decisions on if ranching was for them. People who don't love something do not share everything. They complain and want others to commiserate in their pain lol You on the other hand really showed everyone how to ranch with respect, most have no idea how much care and attention slaughter destined animals can get when they are raised on the right farm. Yours was one of the good ones, you cared if the animals were in pain or sick. You cared when they had to leave the ranch, you hated that they had to go but being that its a business you have to make those hard decisions. You showed how to ranch right. That to me is amazing, so many people think it takes a cruel person to send an animal off to slaughter and that all these animals are cruelly treated, never shown respect or care. Back when you had small ranches and farms all these animals were loved and shown kindness and respect. These new factory farms are where the cruelty happens, the small farms are usually better for the animals. So thank you for showing so many people what REAL ranching looks like...
When I saw the back yard you were mowing my first thought was, "Its big enough for a cow to live on". Well you may not be able to make that happen, it's big, more grass than I want to care for. I noticed first off, the Cross on the wall. He is the one who will strengthen you and heal all the hurt. He loves you so very much! Always look to Him first, not last. For our help comes from Him. The home is comfy and roomy. Kids rooms look great and welcoming! Glad your still with us sharing your life. We all think your a great guy, & good to listen to, have a lot of insight and warmth. Or we wouldn't follow along! Life takes us all in directions we would not choose for ourselves, it makes us grow in ways we wouldn't otherwise. Your wise to embrace it as you are. Soon it will all be good in many ways. Something wonderful is coming your way, in time. I know this for one who is willing to grow and learn attracts good things, people, circumstances to them. As always, Blessings be upon you! Hug, Washington state.
Quitting smoking was the hardest time I ever had. I became sick, irritable, and had a hellish time. Considering that I had only smoked for 5 years. You are in my prayers
Since Mike isn't posting anything I will make one for him... "Hey guys ... I'm fine. It turns out we were making more money on RU-vid than we were ranching. Instead of fighting over the ranch, we're fighting over our RU-vid channels. I thought this one was mine and the wife would take the other one .. but it didn't work out that way. Now we're fighting over this one. Wife changed the password and I can't get in it!"
I just literally found the other channel an hour ago and then saw his Farewell video all in the same hour ! I liked his personality so much I thought why not get interested in what goes on Ranching since I was born and raised in Florida 😅 Knowing absolutely nothing about farming or ranching I have been so intrigued by the videos for the past hour that I thought 🤔 I'm fully invested now so I've gotta see what it's like After Ranching. Well that was a short experience and I think I'll stay on the beach.
Yay! A ferret! We used to have seven rescue ferrets. You'll eventually probably need a second one. They do better with a friend and they need somewhere they can be out and about for several hours, getting exercise and having lots of play toys (tubing, boxes, blankets, etc) I wasn't sure about them at the beginning either, and I fell deeply in love. They are so misunderstood, but I found them more intelligent than any dog or cat that I ever owned. That's why they need time outside a cage. Also, they can get into anywhere their head will fit. Watch out for reclining chairs and under appliances. AND WARNING! They love anything rubber and will chew it up, leading to a visit to the vet for a blocked intestine. : ( Good to see your new normal and a bit of settling. Your kids will get you through. Hugs.
Im in construction and have found ways to avoid digging concrete. If you can incorporate a up-flush pump for your toilet it can save thousands. Not sure of your codes etc but am rooting for your success and with that helping you to save money if I can.
Your life/health is the most important! IF you choose to continue with RU-vid, I will fallow. Although cows are a lot cuter, than that snake!? All the best to you! Thanks for the video!!!
Divorce isn’t easy, I know but it gets better and you find yourself loving life again! You have a very nice home and a huge back yard for lawn games and entertaining your kids and friends so take advantage of that, your basement will be your own sanctuary for those stressful days at work. I wish you loads of happiness and a good life! ♥️🙏🏻🇨🇦
When i got divorced and ended up back in town, i ended up with our chicken and rabbit living in the guest bedroom 😂 kiddo insisted they were coming with, and we made it work. You're a good dad, keep your head up.
My grandson has a turtle is name is Fred. My oldest son had ferrets. The first one was white and grey her name was 1) Ms Aster. She would climb up on the desk. And push stuff off. And watch it hit the ground. 2) Dark brown she loved paper. These two ferrets ran all over the house. We had two little dogs. They got along really well. The third ferret he got this one later on. This ferret her name was chopper. She would like to hide electronics. Cell phones, remotes to the TV's She lived by her name really well. She would bite you in a heartbeat. The first two ferrets would love to lay on a bath towel. My son would spin them around while they were on it. They would fall off the towel. And they would crawl back onto the towel. And they were ready for another spin. Congratulations on your new home. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you gave up those cigarettes!! Your children are blessed that they have both parents still by their sides as they are navigating life. They will be stronger individuals as long as they are reminded that this divorce was none of their faults. Looking forward to the seeing the finished basement. Keep being busy living life Mike.
Congratulations on the new digs. And dad taking care of pets. Former ferret owner here anything electric such as cords on floor get metal cable wraps for. Ferrets are notorious for chewing up electric cords same with computer cords. Glad the kids doing good and settling into new lives in the city.
Oh Mike! We have missed you so much! We're very happy to see you settling into the house you wanted! And the kids like it too, that's great! Their new pets are so cute and mostly easy to keep when the kids aren't there. The ferret may become more yours, and nice to come home to something that reacts to you. Hope to see more of you when you have time! ❤
Thanks Mike! Looking forward to new adventures with you and the kids. You have opened my life up to farming and how it really is. I will join patron to help support your new Adventures.looking forward to watching your videos.
Keep being strong, Mike! You're the kind of inspiration so many need, just to make it each day! Thank you! I love your house and so much potential for it, too! I'm sure the children are adjusting to their new schedule and surroundings and am glad they have their own critters to care for😅! I'm looking forward to more videos from you when you get the chance! Until then, stay well, my friend! 🇺🇸❤️
You have an awesome home Mike. You can make it what ever you need it to be. You got this. I can't wait to see the finished basement. I am happy for you.
Glad I found you. If everyone is doing great, animals and all then life is good! When I retired mom fell and broke her hip and so I moved from small town life to big city . I hate to drive so I hardly go places, mom died after 5 years and I got her condo Nics. Life changes all the time. Enjoy your kids they grow so fast I now have 3 married sons and 8 grandkids. I like the house and the kids seem to, my only downside is snakes! lol 😂😂😂
Casper is what's called a piebald ballpython, super cool it took me years to find the morph and the "nightmare high" made me chuckle that was such a dad line to say.
Been checking for new videos. Finally! Glad you are getting settled! You are upbeat despite adversity! I noticed the cross on the wall…lean on the Lord as He will direct your path! Appreciate you!
Thats why I watch and love your videos! You're honest, simple and always moving forward, no matter what. You're a great Dad, and a great person. Nobody shows all the bad, too easy to cut out nowadays, but as long as you stay true to yourself and love those kids like you do, you'll never be without...God has a plan for all of you! Thank you, for being kind and honest and giving us the opportunity to go along with your family into the future...God Bless you Mike and kids!! ❤
Well, Mike, I’m not gonna lie. I have a really hard time watching The other channel. I think you really worked your butt off on that place.. and I know your house is going to be gorgeous as it already is and it will even get better. I love your videos. I’m sorry all the split up but you’re a strong man and I know there are wonderful things to come and watching your videos thank you so much
Thanks Mike, I look everyday to see if you have a new video out, always do enjoy your work on you tube! Different is always somewhat fearful, the unknown can be a challenge for sure. Speaking from experience. You are a great example to your kids and it will serve them well in life as they watch Dad walk thru this period of his life. Good job, keep plugging!
Am so going to love this new journey you are on. 🙂 And yes it will be positive in so many ways. Seeing the lovely cross ✝on your wall, I wanted to note (may sound sappy) but I have you and yours in my prayers, often.♥
I really like your new digs. Wish my home was that nice. You're quite the father to give your son the Master Bedroom. So excited to see you moving forwards with this new chapter in your life. Thank you So Much for keeping us posted. I wish you the Very Best!
Mike, thank you for showing us your house. It was good of you to give up your master bedroom to your son. I hope the kids like the house too. I imagine theyre happy to get the exotic pets they have because thry probably couldnt have them at the ranch. Looking forward to seeing your remodeling progress. You are right i had no idea you smoked but applaud you for being strong enough to quit like you did! Glad you have uour computer set up now, I missed you!
Glad you got everything done and don't worry God got you. Just be as helpful as you can and move on. Just take God with you. God loves you and so do your followers, both for you and Erin. God bless and look forward to your channel
Great to see you doing so well. Your positive attitude is infectious. I have found my self in a severe depression and will now challenge myself to explore life!
Enjoyed the early Patreon Preview of this yesterday. I’m rewatching today for the YT algorithm. Again so happy to see you back and from all appearances doing well. Hang in there. 😊
I'm glad the house deal worked out and everyone is happy with the new digs. The only thing better than a ferret is two ferrets. Looking forward to all the new challenges, people, and projects. If you want stuff to hang on the walls, hit a few yard sales. Keep in mind than more stuff means more stuff to dust unless you don't dust which is my philosophy. Keep on truckin' !
