Bubbles was a good looking bull and I'm sure helped produce many fine calves. He left with his head up high but you could see a tear in his eye as he left the ranch and friends behind. Thank you Bubbles for all your work and memories. 🐃🐃
It is so tough to lose any animal. When we lost the bull here a few months ago, I won't lie, I shed a few tears for him and the cows that adored him. Since then, we have a new bull that I can only hope will fill his shoes. I appreciate you Mike and your 'Big Picture' way of looking at ranch, farm life. Thanks for sharing this day.
One of my least favorite things, selling the old stock. Your handling of him was smart and safe, a lot of people don’t understand how fast a bull can actually move. I was amazed you had to haul so far. Then I thought about all the closed sales barns in this region. [South Central Kentucky] The nearest to us is an hour away. There are at least 5 under half an hour that have shut down in the last 7 years due to over regulation and shrinking sale numbers. Be safe and know you always brighten my day with your honest and real approach to teaching people about ranch life.
Hi ya'll, new subscriber here. While I was born and raised here in southeastern PA, my heart is in the west. Lived in Utah for a period in my late 20s & early 30s. I'm am auctioneer now, and after auctioning a nice piece of in the late summer of 2010 we lit out in our small motor home for the west. We spent 3 glorious weeks in you part of the country as well as a night or two in Buffalo were you dropped Bubbles off. As we pulled up to our home late in the evening my wife looked at me and said. . . . "Would you do that again?" My answer . . .I got a full tank of gas, warm close and food onboard, and am ready to head back out right now. You can come if you want. I just love it out west and really enjoy your TH-cam channel. Thanks a lot for sharing your family life with us. Looking forward to more.
We will miss bubbles but he lives on in calves and cows he produced while on the ranch. Thanks for sharing as always mike. Hope Erin and the kids are doing well. Have a great week. God Bless
I could see the pain in your voice and face about the pain of Bubbles demise. I felt the same way until I went to the basement and got out a thick steak or a roast that grandma would make. It's the circle of life!
Bubbles reminds me of the old bull, young bull joke. Young bull wants to run into the harem, bubbles calls them to him. He has earned his keep and will live on with his daughters on the ranch. I paid for college with my herd 6 of steers on pasture. Selling Betsey my first bottle calf benefitted me and she went to a great pasture grazing farm. Heck of a fun channel.
Mike , I know good bulls are hard to part with . We had a gentle giant for 5 years till he was replaced. We luckily found a brother of his who I hope is just as good.
I have inherited a small cattle farm in Kentucky. Learning things the hard way. We sold a bull in the spring weight 1820. He looked wide as a vs coming at you in the loading pen. I spent more time on the other side of the gates.
I spent a night in Buffalo, Wyoming at the Occidental Hotel on vacation a few years ago. I loved that little town. We drove over the Big Horn Mountains too.
Hi Mike appreciate your time love your videos. my dad used to be a foreman for a ranch here in West Texas .I always wondered what kind of Lifestyle I would have head if we stayed .I must have been 4 years old when we moved to the city of course I'm 62 now that was years ago my dad worked for John deer tractor four years but he always worked with livestock sold and traded there's nothing like working with animals it's a beautiful life style God bless you from San Angelo Texas
Bubbles will live on through his daughters on the ranch. He was a very good looking Red Angus bull, and certainly helped sustain the ranch. His good genes are a tribute to his breeders, and will be seen next spring. To those who want him treated as a pet... he is not/ never was one. He was a dignified and dominant bull, treated with respect by man and beast.
Those of us who raise livestock fully understand, and respect the lives they live and the purpose they serve, We treat our livestock better than some people treat each other.
Susan S. A great comment, he was an outstanding bull and walked the pastures as top bull for a good run. In the replacement heifers I wonder if the big red heifer Lincoln kept was a daughter.
Bubbles was the type of bull my friend and I looked for at auction . We could not afford a top bull but we looked for older bulls that weren't crazy. It was just a small farm and we would buy for a few years and then sale
Great video, grew up on dairy farm in Vermont. Prize Holstein Bull brought a lot of young cattle into herd. Raised a young bull, all black except for white diamond on for head, his name was Uncle Miltey,after Milton Berle. Loved the calves and trained them to halter for 4H FFA.
Hi. I started watching your videos🤠. Not sure when these were done, no date.🗓 Noticed your antique vehicles and equipment when you were driving out your lane. I love antiques, reminder of how we have come to be where we are today and to show younger generations and other folk how blessed we are are today because of the generations before us of what they endured to make it and survive!🙌🏼🙏🏻😇🇨🇦
That music is exactly the way I feel when I get cows into the trailer! Too bad you had to sell Bubbles. But each cow has to go at some point. Great video as always!
Hey there Mike...... I'm Chriss Cevert. French born and part raised. U.K. Part raised and now live. Home in London. But own and run a Rehoming and retraining CENTER for Thoroughbred and Standardbred former racers (before that I was a jockey then retired due to injury and B.S to do with abuse and dumping of unwanted racers). I'm new to your videos and I'm really enjoying them. New fan and of course just hit the subscribe button and bell just as the video ended. It's always hard to say goodbye to any working animal who has done so great for you. I miss many of my former rides as a jockey. Only some I know where they are due to them now being at stud or are brood mates or show/eventing/performance horses. That's one of the reasons I do what I do. Too many good ones ended up gone while still good . I give them a new life and another chance. And I'm so proud of them. Even the ones that are just lawn mowers. Love your videos and I'm gonna binge on them. Please keep making more. From a new big fan..... Chriss fro🇬🇧 .....❤️😍❤️
Rather a sad end in some respects for Bubble's days on the ranch. Yet in some ways, Bubble's lines will carry forward through the future generations and life cycles of the ranch Mike. Bubbles is a good teacher, as you and Erin are also through the times you share so generously! -Bob...
I enjoy watching your shows, I have always wanted to work/own a small hobby ranch in which to live the rest of my life in peace taking taking of animals. Love it!!
What did Bubbles weigh? I hunted antelope near Buffalo and was treated liked an old friend by the locals. They are simply the salt of the earth. I don’t know if you know this, but Longmire was filmed in New Mexico. In fact we used the cabin the acted as Longmire's home as a staging area when myself and others from the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation helped on some youth elk hunts on the Valles Caldera. Awesome country there too!
Bubbles did his job and now its time for the rest of the bulls to do theirs. Im sure he will be missed by all the cows he had fun with. thanks again for the video.
We have never sold a bull on the farm, in fact I remember grandpa saying they always rented the neighbors. I was told meat from an aged Bull doesn't taste as good as that from a younger cow or steer. The testosterone supposedly makes for poor tasting meat. Hopefully he gets another job with a new batch of cows. Thanks for sharing!
We had a bull break a leg a few years back. After treatment he still limped and we were afraid he would break it again dismounting. So we had him slaughtered for ourselves. Sunrising it was just as good as the year old steers.
Carol Covey thanks for sharing, we are not at that point yet but when the day comes I'd rather feed my family than feed my bulls to a stranger. Good to know they will still taste great.
@@spencerseifert7344 in my experience with the local packing plant, they all would go down the same line if the cattle were deemed fit for slaughter. The unsafe ones get knocked off and turn into dust. The slaughtered ones get what ever done with them and what is less fit for human consumption goes across the road to the fees processing plant for dog, cat, etc feed.
Hopefully Bubbles gets an easy last years, with a small herd of ladies. Thanks for the note about the wire above the project board too, I can stop cleaning my screen...LOL.
Hi again! The rhythm of the ranch the way it flows huh Mike! I learned early on it's really best not to name them cause once you do then your heart gets involved and it's a whole different deal! Funny how when kids get older and figure out the process they start naming everything so they never have to leave! But then if they stay so called forever the day inevitably comes when they pass away. The mourning process at that point can be as real and difficult as for a person and it's really tough on the kiddos til they're old enough to understand that rhythm of the ranch. But I'm sure with good old Bubbles it was hard in it's own unique way for you Mike. You can't help but feel respect and gratitude to Bubbles for his contribution to the ranch and it's future. And now the next step into the future is in the new bulls you purchased. And so the story goes. Back to The project list Mike! I'm happy to see you're not stuck in 2nd lol and holding up really good lol!! Thx as always...
I was a part of the FFA show team. I showed a goat by the way. I surely miss my goat because you know, getting used to him a whatnot. But knowing my experience I'm sure Bubbles is fine ^^
Here in Australia, we have electronic tags that scan and will carry the ranches "properties identification code" we fill in a form and send them to the yards
My dad and I say, if it doesn't affect you to see calves or bulls leaving, momma's and baby's passing you shouldn't be doing it! The ones that haven't had to see a calf you watched being born, or the cow/bull that has been a part of your life for years, time come to an end do not understand as much as we do. It's always a sad day. We always build relationships with our animals even when we know, they one day will leave. Some sooner than others, But push on and as you said look to the future. HAPPY TRAILS BUBBLES!!!! You will be missed.
Selling a long time cow bull dog etc is always hard. My grandfather sold his whole herd in 2004. Never saw him cry but after 50+years it's always hard.
it's sad to see a old friend go ... I am dairy farmer yesterday we loaded old frosty on the the truck of no return.....frosty was our oldest cow at 15 years old she lived the life of a queen but it was her time 6 months ago we just couldn't do it but in the end it's business and 1 animal and break an entire operation
@Rachel because you believe everything the media says. Just because some may be unkind to their animals doesn't mean every dairy farm is. That's like me saying you are a murderer because you are human , like everyone else.
Hey wreckandraceify!! PETA has nothing to do with it. Where do you think veal comes from? Calves. Do you think cows magically give milk? No. Cows have to be kept in perpetual LACTATION to produce milk and you can't do that without becoming pregnant and giving birth. Learn how, where and why you get your food and then you'll know. PETA did not expose anything that isn't part of the livestock farming industry. PETA may be ignorant on some things but they are not stupid. They'd be in lawsuits til doomsday.
Hi Mike, great video. Looks like we were out your way this past June. Spent the night in the truck camper in the Walmart parking lot in Gillette. The next day we stopped at the welcome center in Buffalo. Met a really nice gentleman there. He gave us an alternative route to take to Cody. Just past Ten Sleep turn right and take the back way. Beautiful country out that way. Much snow yet ?
Never heard it called a “sales barn” before. Bubbles looked pretty thin in his last days compared to earlier shots of him. Even the most famous bulls end up at the sale barn at some point.
I Love red angus cattle. Funny how much more Vocal they are in my experience compared to other breeds. We had one that would see my dad working somewhere and come stand there and watch him for a long time. Then often he would just lay down and spend the day watching daddy work. He wouldn’t do it with anyone else. It’s like they had a special bond. He was a dog in a bulls body
Ranchers have other people come in to do hoof care. The Hoof GP has a whole channel for that. He mostly works on dairies. Just a little suggestion if your interested
Just found your channel and am really enjoying it. My family and I just bought some property in the Pacific northwest and are raising 4 cows for beef. 1for us and 3 are sold already. And I agree it's not going to be easy on may 8th, as that is the day. Also I really enjoyed you video and breakdown on the cost for pigs as we will be doing some for next year.
Hi Mike ! I just found the ranch on Google maps. Bubbles is laying at the fence in the picture that was taken as the car drove past. You can see him laying there watching the cars go by. On second look, is that him standing? Sorry to have a long term friend be gone.
C'mon Mike... he's not dangerous. He just wanted to snuggle... Hahaha I cracked up when I read the note on the board about the crack in your phone screen. LOL!
I don't know how often you have to push the cattle with the gator, but ever thought about a simple tube attachment on the front? (Think Reverse grill guards on a pickup, that curve away from the gator. Nothing too extreme because it would tear up the gator, but would be a quick on/off and give a little more size to the front? ...
Bubbles was a good looking bull and I'm sure helped produce many fine calves. He left with his head up high but you could see a tear in his eye as he left the ranch and friends behind. Thank you Bubbles for all your work and memories. 🐃🐃
Glad to see bubbles leave on a high not, eating good n just chillin by himself.
His voice is so soothing😍
You will always be there on the farm Bubbles. Your legacy walks in the fields. Good job.
Thats for sure, thanks Donna - Mike
Ok I cried at the ending.
Thanks for your service Bubbles! This video is gonna be a hit Mike. Great quality, and great information. Loving all the camera angles.
It is so tough to lose any animal. When we lost the bull here a few months ago, I won't lie, I shed a few tears for him and the cows that adored him.

Was good ta hear you mention weight displacement in the trailer. Trailering 101 that alot of folks don't catch

as a retired farm wife I love to watch your video
Tough to see a good friend go. Thank you for sharing Mike. BUBBLES, we LOVE YOU 💗
We will miss bubbles but he lives on in calves and cows he produced while on the ranch. Thanks for sharing as always mike. Hope Erin and the kids are doing well. Have a great week. God Bless
The trailer is lighter, but I'm sure your hearts are heavier. Good job, everyone.

Very well said, he is a beautiful bull. Such awesome creatures. It hurts saying goodbye to a working bull.
He's done so well for y'all it's sad to see him go
Bubbles reminds me of the old bull, young bull joke. Young bull wants to run into the harem, bubbles calls them to him. He has earned his keep and will live on with his daughters on the ranch.

Thanks for taking us along. It’s an important part of ranch life

If he goes to auction, he goes to slaughter.
Not necessarily. Thanks
Longmire was one of my favorite shows
Loved Longmire.

Great way to think of Bubbles. I know I've had to sell a lot of bulls and older cows in my lifetime.
Bubbles is a georgous bull
Cool name for a big bull🐄🐂🐂🐂🐂
I love these videos. Bye Bubbles!
Edit: I dont think I can ever Ranch, I'll miss/love those animals too much.
Great video, grew up on dairy farm in Vermont. Prize Holstein Bull brought a lot of young cattle into herd. Raised a young bull, all black except for white diamond on for head, his name was Uncle Miltey,after Milton Berle. Loved the calves and trained them to halter for 4H FFA.
I also liked your note on the project board about a cracked screen...hilarious!
I caught that immediately too! Your right it was hilarious!
Sad, but funny I have a crack on my screen that the arrow points too. It took accidentally flipping the phone the other way before I noticed the wire.
Hi. I started watching your videos🤠. Not sure when these were done, no date.🗓 Noticed your antique vehicles and equipment when you were driving out your lane.

I’m sure many of you have watched The Lion King and life on a ranch is much like that The Circle of Life continues even on a ranch in Wyoming. 🐂
thats the way we get our food as i tell my kids it just dosent jump in the fridge
Goodbye Bubbles. You’ve been great to get to know.
That music is exactly the way I feel when I get cows into the trailer! Too bad you had to sell Bubbles. But each cow has to go at some point. Great video as always!
The bull has another day or two to live after u left. I did not notice any hay or water in the holding pen? They still get thirsty!
I was wondering where the water was. Its shocking to.leave an animal without food and water.
They move them to a different pen. Thanks -Mike

Thank you Mark - Mike
Why did ye sell him
Paul Hallissey --If you watch the video he tells why they are selling him. Basicly he is to old.
McBubbles Beef Burger.
@@markmortensen4341 yeah just realised it there haha had to watch a second time
Hey Mike. Hope you are keeping well. Sad to see him go but all good things must come to an end. Thanks Mike

I show the same respect being cautious around livestock, no sense risking injury unnecessarily, especially with a bull isolated from the herd.

I surely miss my goat because you know, getting used to him a whatnot. But knowing my experience I'm sure Bubbles is fine ^^
Happy trails, Bubbles!
I know you shed real tears for him, this video was sad, paving a way or not...poor mr. bubbles!
Thanks for sharing. It's not pretty, but that's business. And running a ranch is tough business.
This is fast becoming my favourite Channel cheers to you from Gary on Pender Island
Here in Australia, we have electronic tags that scan and will carry the ranches "properties identification code" we fill in a form and send them to the yards
Ok Mikey I'm with. I like how you're driving him up with the Deere then block the access with the Deere and getting him into the trailer. Alone...
My brother lived in Buffalo for a while...often spoke of its beauty...
Much Respect For Bubbles!!!
Sure do miss that bull. My heart is heavy
My dad and I say, if it doesn't affect you to see calves or bulls leaving, momma's and baby's passing you shouldn't be doing it!

Yaa bubbles fight till the end you don't want to be ground round love you
another great vid keep up the good storeys mike . thanks
Will do, thanks Andrew - Mike
Love your vids. Please don't ever stop making them lol
Selling a long time cow bull dog etc is always hard. My grandfather sold his whole herd in 2004. Never saw him cry but after 50+years it's always hard.
At least you have his blood line on the ranch. Had to let my bull and rest of cattle go to sale barn last month very unexpectedly.
There are days I miss Wyo.
Carry on Bubbles. You will be missed
One of my least favorite things, selling the old stock
Thanks for sharing this day
it's sad to see a old friend go ... I am dairy farmer yesterday we loaded old frosty on the the truck of no return.....frosty was our oldest cow at 15 years old she lived the life of a queen but it was her time 6 months ago we just couldn't do it but in the end it's business and 1 animal and break an entire operation
@Rachel because you believe everything the media says. Just because some may be unkind to their animals doesn't mean every dairy farm is. That's like me saying you are a murderer because you are human , like everyone else.
Is that really what happens or just what you've seen on PETA propaganda videos?
Hey wreckandraceify!! PETA has nothing to do with it. Where do you think veal comes from? Calves. Do you think cows magically give milk?

right, and she couldn't have lived out her final.years with you? Please.
Mike sound and looks like a friend I used to work with
We been fixing fence all day because one of our bulls decided to go visit my neighbors cows. Bubbles was a nice looking bull.
Hi Mike, great video. Looks like we were out your way this past June. Spent the night in the truck camper in the Walmart parking lot in Gillette.

Thanks Mike for the great work you do i hope one day you invite me to the ranch to help you doing some work
Life goes on , Realy nice Video Mike . Thank you 👍
I wish I could have Bubbles he's a good Stud Bull gonna miss em
Just started watching. Love all of them. Do you have a episode on hoof care?
Ranchers have other people come in to do hoof care. The Hoof GP has a whole channel for that. He mostly works on dairies.
Just a little suggestion if your interested
Sham Bubbles is so nice his going
Enjoyed the trip
Hi thanks for sharing. Love it.
Excellent video. Hello from Cheyenne.
Hello Cheyenne :) Thanks for watching - Mike
Just found your channel and am really enjoying it. My family and I just bought some property in the Pacific northwest and are raising 4 cows for beef. 1for us and 3 are sold already. And I agree it's not going to be easy on may 8th, as that is the day. Also I really enjoyed you video and breakdown on the cost for pigs as we will be doing some for next year.
Hi Mike ! I just found the ranch on Google maps. Bubbles is laying at the fence in the picture that was taken as the car drove past. You can see him laying there watching the cars go by. On second look, is that him standing?
Sorry to have a long term friend be gone.
@@ellaromeijn2351 it's s secret
@@ellaromeijn2351 I see no actual name in front of the ranch but do know where it is.
Bye bubbles you will be missed what a bull he was wish we had one like him
Hes a good boy, thanks - Mike
Good farm management.
Bon Voyage Bubbles.....fair winds and following seas old budddy!!
C'mon Mike... he's not dangerous. He just wanted to snuggle... Hahaha I cracked up when I read the note on the board about the crack in your phone screen. LOL!
Mike it's allways hard but think even us as humans get slow in our fun Lol still we keep on going
I assume no cameras/videos allowed at the sale barn?
Depends on the barn, the place where we sell calves let me film. Thanks - Mike
Everyone will miss you bubbles. Hope you enjoy your last day.
Have a great time
I don't know how often you have to push the cattle with the gator, but ever thought about a simple tube attachment on the front? (Think Reverse grill guards on a pickup, that curve away from the gator. Nothing too extreme because it would tear up the gator, but would be a quick on/off and give a little more size to the front? ...
Whens the put fire truck and other rolling stock under cover plan? as cold as it has been is the fire truck winterized for its nap?
Love the country side over there in Wyoming !! Good job on the vids.
