I see Jeff is still addicted to Mtn Dew:-) He's worth his weight in gold. I was afraid he might not come back this season, but I'm glad he did. He's a lot of help.
He’s a ton of help! Everyone who helped Saturday worked hard! They made the day go easy!!
Keff, don't drink diet Mtn. Dew! The caffeine together with what is in diet...doctors thought he had a heart attack until found out he was drinking way too many diet Mt. Dew.💛👎sad. He lived several years afterwards.
@@OurWyomingLifeI would like to see more videos about hay making a the weather
FYI. I´m also glad JEFF is back on the ranch for another OWL 2024 Season; this young STUD is worth solid GOLD BARS! JEFF´s experience, maturity and leadership is priceless at any given time when called upon to handle any job in the field. JEFF works hard and smart as any 18 year old cowboy in the country, that´s a fact. JEFF is my Captain America and a HULK at that! Thank you JEFF. GOD bless you my friend.

Great job Erin, Jeff and the crew.
👍👍
Thanks!
Awesome look into what happens on this evenful day! Thanks so much for showing us all what it takes to look after your herd. It's fantastic to see your community come together during this time! I'm glad all were safe and had fun! Western tradition continues! Thanks so much Erin and crew !!
I enjoyed sharing our day with everyone!
Erin you’re doing amazing !! I love how you chose to keep the children of social media and keep their lives private. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 We all enjoy these videos keep them coming
Good video Erin. You had good help but you are a good leader.
Thanks for doing this video and sharing the process u do with cattle. You explain very well done
Erin, when drawing up meds via needle, pull the plunger on the syringe back and fill it with air. Then insert the needle into the med bottle, push the air in and the pressure it creates, causes the med to fill the syringe without muscles.
Erin thanks for taking us along for the journey. Love the content so much better then before!
AWESOME teamwork everyone- truly an amazing coordinated effort👏👏👏👏 Thanks for taking us along.
Branding is always a great but exhausting time of year! It's a time to cherish with friends and family.
It really is!
Sure do injoy your videos you are doing a good job im sure glad too see jeff back
Enjoy the branding time. Yep they have been doing it for years to identify that animal. Had plenty of help for sure. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for sharing a wonderful video great job Erin see you all on the next OWL hugs and prayers❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
Excellent job to you and all of your helpers. Branding is always a great day. Great freinds and great food
Uncle CJs the most handsome steer on the place has been for years
Another great job Erin. You and your gang did a great job at branding.👏
They did awesome!
@@OurWyomingLife Erin, You and the "gang" did an OUTSTANDING job branding and vaccinating your calves! Between the bawling babies and mooing Mamas it was so very pleasantly noisy! I ❤'d it! Thank You Erin, you are
AMAZING! Until your next video ~~~ Stay safe, healthy and happy! 🐄🐃🐂
Lots of help there, getting it done, good job. Have a good evening!
Thank you, Erin! That was the first time I have ever seen branding of cows. I have never been a part of one. It was fun to watch. Great teamwork!! Have a great week, OWL!!🤠
If you inject/shoot a syringe of air into your medicine bottle. The positive pressure you create in the medicine bottle will push the medicine into your syringe. No need to strain to load the syringe
Awesome time Erin… you’ve really surprised me. Once you and Mike split and are divorcing, I thought the ranch was going to go downhill but you’ve done an amazing job, sorry for doubting you. Wish there was more videos tho. But otherwise GREAT JOB!!!!!
Erin has ranching in her blood. She's a bonified cowgirl.
LOLLOL I love it, someone else that says "butt-ton" besides me! Thank you for letting us tag along, I truly enjoy your content!!
Be blessed!
( Omgosh i love Cracker Jack!! He is awesome! )
Cracker Jack is awesome!!
@@OurWyomingLife Thank You Erin for another great video! Cracker Jack is my most favorite Bovine! 🐄❤
Like a well oiled machine. 👍🏽
It went well!!
Thanks Erin
THANK YOU FOR THE VEDIO IT LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF WORK GOOD TO SEE YOU HAD SOME GREAT HELPERS TAKE CARE GOOD LUCK .
Hi Erin & kids,such an awesome video.Erin you are doing such a wonderful job!So glad you had help.I just love Crackerjack.Have a great week!❤
I really enjoy watching your show you are a joy you do such a good job with the animals. It takes me back to my younger days. Thank you so much.
You are so kind!
What an awesome team you have there helping! Fantastic job everyone! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Regarding the kids, good for you Erin. Look after your children .
I probably sound like a broken record, but your videos are so GREAT! The way you record, edit them, and how when you are talking it's like we are there partaking of a great conversation! 🙂
My late Uncle used to keep out 2 Bull Calves and not castrate them. Both would be raised to 1200 # them entire meat made into hamburger. 1 was for the family. The other was for a local fundraiser. They held a Flea Mart once a month and sold bowls of Chili Beans with mest. BEST HAMBURGER EVER ! People fron San Francisco would plan a 100 mile trek just for the Chili
I bet that chili was amazing!
Clever way to get the cattle to follow you 😊I’m going to try that 👌
Takes a little training but it works well!
Yes, be with your kids.❤❤❤❤❤
Just rewatched and that certainly sounded like Mike on the radio and it looked like him leaning on a fence in the back of one of your shots, wearing a black Stetson. Did Mike come down to help?
Hi the gentleman in the back leaning up against the arrowquip is one of Erin's family members enjoying the day. Yes he also owns a black cowboy hat. Mike was not present during branding.
Enjoyed!!
Thank you for watching!
@@OurWyomingLife Your welcome !
Your killing it super women you show Resilient🔥🙏💪
Secret when pulling out of viles - push air with plunger into vile it will release vacuum and pull out the amount you need - it will flow faster
I am glad you are not showing your kids, it will help keep them safe. I been teaching on line safety, you are doing the right thing, never put our kids your kis on you tube or other media site, it's the first thing, predators, pedophile s and traffickers check out and target, yes I know people do not like to talk about, but it could dave their lives, never allow any kid to have their own social media under the age of sixteen, Florida is the first state to mandate this. Thank you for practicing safe computer practices, I wish more parents did this.
All the best. MM
Doing great Erin, hang in there. Bless ya.
Thank you!
one of my favret jobs working on farms at my grandparents is working cows that is my favret job. have a good day
You don't sound exhausted today.👍💛
Mr Mike really trained the cows good for them to follow you home
I often helped bring the cows home. They don’t care who drives they just want cake.
@@OurWyomingLifeyou should have been in front of the camera and people would give you more credit I very rarely saw you and thought you were not really involved in this part I knew you had things that you had of your own the gardens and the food bank and just because you are divorced doesn’t mean you can’t give Mike any credit for anything he did just my thoughts
@@dw1920 Well said. Being constantly reminded how they were there and helped too or just in the background and defensive over someone expressing their preference for Mike's video's and editing or gratitude towards his dedication towards the ranch... It speaks volumes. And the difference in viewership under this "new format" speaks for itself no matter how it's spun by the handful that come to the comments rescue and regurgitate weekly. And yes... I know where I can find Mike on his own channel.
@@jaydavis3156 If you have preference for his videos and editing why are you here?
@@kmarch6630 Please read my comment again. There was no I in it.
Busy day, thanks for filming the activities. Thanks ya’ll.👍👏
Yup you got a private live👍
Excellent as always. And BRAVO for keeping your children off video.
You're quite the Lady Rancher. Nice to see you have a bunch of help to make this process go quicker. Hope you enjoyed the rest of your day!
Definitely nice to have help! It’s a fun day with friends and family!
My brother freeze brands his cattle.. . Permanent.
Hello Erin 💜💛
Hi!👋
Interesting place to put the brand
Wait... you're ranching without hats? What in the name of Teton Pass is going on over there? Great jo Erin and team.
Nice video,
Great video Erin! Loved the content. Those calves are sure growing fast!
How is your little heifer bull doing?
Heifer Bull is doing great! Enjoying his best life out with his gals!
Is it possible to bell train cows. If the gator wears bells, there's cake inside! Like little kids running after the Ice Cream Truck. LOL
PPE, Erin! Gloves and Glasses with anything that splashes. You have children.
Nice editing, thanks for sharing. -EZ
Bells could be interesting!!
Indeed cows will train to sounds.
@@OurWyomingLife I can see Bambi Hightailing across the field, ICE CREAM!! 🤣
@@OurWyomingLife I also thought about the old school bell in the garage across the street, hung on the edge of the cow shed.
If it's ringing weather is coming, bring it on home ladies. Don't make us come get yous. LOL
Hi Kari!!!! In Idaho... :)
Amazing Process & I loved the cows mooing! Have a Great week🙂
Actually I was thinking Jeff and Carrie didn't really want to be on the pod until the group photo. lol
✨💗🌷🌿You actually look s happy!💖🌹🌿
💛🌻🌿🌾💛
I love how crackerjack just stayed right there with you and didn't move at all for the ladies. I know that branding is necessary but still makes me a little sad watching the calfs. Great job Erin!!!
Crackerjack does what he wants!!
@@OurWyomingLife He just seems like such a "go with the flow" kinda guy. I love it
Hey Erin, those are the same vaccines we use on our calves except we nasal the inforce at birth. I realize you cannot do that at birth as you calve out in the field. Wouldnt be convenient. We just done our last 100 calves sunday.👍
Job well done. Branding is not my favorite thing, cuz of the smell of it. But i would recommend everybody see one in their lifetime. CrackerJack is so funny first one in the cake. He is twice as big as the ladies. Have great week OWL family
It definitely has an odor!! Thanks for watching!
what are your opinions on vaccinating for your herd as an individual herd rather than what everyone else in the area is vaccinating for. i often think every herd is differnent and requires different vaccines or less vaccines
Thank you sharing this with us.
My pleasure!
brilliant video. thank you for sharing x
Nice work.
Love you, girl!! Thanks for sharing
You’re doing a great job, Erin! It’s good that you explained it all too. Thanks for sharing Western Traditions!!! 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸
Enjoy your day. Thank you for sharing.
Great job Erin!!!
Nice video. We don't brand cattle in my area. Is it a requirement in Wyoming?
Yes, Wyoming is a branding state.
I like your video keep them coming ❤❤❤
Thank you, I will!
Does the two older cows that got separated, are the going to become beef jerky?
No. They are going to a local auction. I have a good supply of inventory until preg checking time and I don’t want to have more product than I need.
What is it that you spray on the brands and what does it do?
Catron
Repels flies and Fly maggots
Good content. Suggest however if your practicing medication directions net up to do it off line. You’ll have all sorts of comments on that. Also. The branding and castration together is painful maybe give something for pain. Calf’s face indicated pain. Be sensitive please they’re living creatures. .
Cows are all trained to the cake bucket rattle,
Yes I’ve done that often too! They like cake!
Branding has got to hurt do you give them anything for pain???😊💜
👍👍❤🐂
What role does Cracker Jack serve on the ranch? He seems important.
Cracker Jack is the lead steer....wherever he goes the ladies follow him.🐄❤
Why not use free tattooing? Better for the critter. comes out in white hair and grows bigger...no pain or fly concerns.
Wyoming is a brand State, she cannot sell them without a brand.
👌🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂
I like hearing all the cow calling out. But I think it would get annoying fast also.
You kind of learn to tune it out after a while!
where is the hubby
They are getting a divorce so he lives in town now.
Your kids are never on the videos no Korean. We miss them
I talk about the kids at the end. I’m keeping them off social media for now. They are doing well!
@@OurWyomingLife Excellent idea Erin! Take good care of your kiddos! Just know that we who are your cheerleaders wish your kids the very best of everything! ❤❤💙
First
Congratulations!!
Erin Why don't Mike make videos anymore?😢
You will have to ask Mike on his own channel, he isn't here anymore.
Yeah well alot of us are concerned why he is not answering or making videos. @@evelynmueller6523
@@jeanneshannon5607 That's fine and I understand but ask him there. Why would she know why he is or isn't making videos. Since we don't know the dynamics of their relationship we can't assume she knows all the answers to the Mike questions. And if she does, maybe they have an understanding between them about all the social media stuff. He has an email, and you know where he works, call him if you are that worried.
@@jeanneshannon5607take a look at her picture you’ll understand why she has a attitude her friends are probably only animals she looks like a prison guard or something I won’t say
@@dw1920 hahaha now that's hilarious! You have yourself a fantastic day, this comment sure made mine.....lol
Wear your hats. Protect your eyes and skin. Do not inject yourself or others with you.
Yeah do your thing by branding to me is very harsh, and cruel.. what if the tradition was a reversed on to people.
I don't find anything in life necessary unless it's thee obvious.
Shame the branding looks painful poor calves
