I think you are very brave getting so close to those mum and calves. I lived on a beef property and know how skittish some of them can be. All my love, Ellen D Queensland, Australia.
I enjoy your channel all year long, but the 30 in 30 during calving season is just my favorite. Thank you for those glimpses into the farming/ranching life, talking to your cows, and making it fun. Some time into summer or fall I'll come back and watch them all over again.
❤... Glad to be here. Your channel is amazing Mike. Looking forward to a collaboration on the 30 and 30 series. I'm Sikemi Olabisi a young farmlady who is into catfish farminh in Nigeria. Sending you love and light❤
My family of farmers goes waaaaay back. The only engine on the farm was a horse. Its no wonder back then horse theives got the death penalty. (hanged) No horse, no livelihood, no food, you die.
Yes you are a little crazy. Anyone who farms or ranches has to be a little crazy. We could not survive without you doing what you do. Be safe and good luck in everything that you do.
I've been following you for a long time. My husband and I both have covid. Both at home both in our 70's. We are doing ok we both got an infusion of Bamlanivimab. It is a life saver. Wish us luck in our journey back to health
Hi Mike 🙋🏻♂️ That was always a big choice of wanting moisture for grass and hay but wanting dry weather for calving! You know with your cows giving their calves up for cake it’s a good thing coyotes can’t buy cake 🤔 good luck be safe
I am not a Wyoming rancher and do not play one on TV, but I do have a question. Why not save a close pasture of around 20 acres or so and then move those close up cows onto that pasture right before calving begins and until after they calve and the calf is up and going for a day or two? At that point they could be moved one at a time OUT of calving pasture and back onto the range. I realize that doing that you may have to feed a bale or two to keep the nutrition up in that short pasture, and that there would be a bit more sorting and moving of cows involved, but that seems easier to me than hunting new babies over 400 acres. You might also need a extra small pasture in a corner (or two) to aid in the sorting. They follow you well for cake. Sorting could be easier than you think.
Mike I enjoy the way you talk withe herd,your voice is calming to them,your the angel god sent to take care of the herd til tomorrow take care and God bless
I just ordered some of your Jerky! I can't wait for it to come so I can try it!!. 'Grass Fed Beef Stick 6 Packs - 4.5 oz × 1' Thanks for all the hard work!. I'm happy to be able to support American farmers!!
I'm his twin ..I can't wait to try this ..first time trying grass-fed anything and we love your videos we are always looking to try more good and healthy food not to mention actually knowing where it came from and how it was raised. I see on a daily basis how much love/care you give your livestock.. I hope more people get into wanting to know where their food is coming from and what they are putting in their bodies...
you can put your fingers in the calf's mouth to see if the mouth is cool ,usually if it is the calf body temperature is low , That is what I do when I don't have a thermometer.
Mike, old farm hand tip. Make a cake pile, then walk a trail of cake to mama. She can then eat her way away from baby to cake pile. That'll keep her occupied away (you hope). Happy calving.
Mike...a suggestion. Something another cow calf ranch in S. Dakota does is keep a running total on a whiteboard ( like your to do list board) of males and females. It's Sonne Farms that does this. I watch them online too. Thanks for listening.
Yeah Mike, when I was growing up on the farm we had Registered Polled Herefords. And I remember number 72, we actually had to go out with the hayrack and get between cow and the calf! But, she was such a good mother and she sired a calf who was “34”. (which my dad kept in the herd because “34” was a good mother also)! Go figure! Number 34 was temperamental too! 🐂👍😎
Interesting to see the work done to keep an eye on the herd. Scary to think that at any moment a protective mom could charge you that 4-wheeler. Hope you can get the mechanic to fix that gator sooner than later, good luck.
I know it must take a lot of time and trouble to do the 30-30, but I sure do enjoy them. How I wish I were able to be there to help out, but I am not physically able to do that anymore, unless there are no time constraints. LOL!!! I admire and respect you all so much for all that you do for your family, livestock, and ranch. You all are incredible and so blessed. Thank you for doing the 30-30 because I truly look forward to each episode (not much housework getting done though. LOL!). You all take care of each other and stay happy! God Bless You All!
DFS - Department of Family Services... Have you ever had anyone stop on the highway, jump over the fence and render aid to a cow/calf? Always interesting, thanks!
#2 almost taking your glove cracked me up. She wanted more cake lol. You stay safe when the mean ones calve! Not sure I could handle keeping those after my great uncle's incident.
I just find it amazing how you know each and every individual cow and their personalities. It touches me how much you love those animals. And your such a great and loving dad. Your videos are so great too. Wouldn't miss one. I love when 30 in 30 comes around.
Good luck on ending the drought, good haying weather, record jerkey sales, market and micro greens sales growth. Also record Ranch Roundup attendance. Why not offer online pre roundup ordering and a 5.00 discount at the farm market on each ranch roundup ticket. Samples sell everything. Jerkey, vegetables baked goods. May the flu be done so have some fun.
The little red and white bull calf is cute. The mother's facial markings are beautiful. Glad to hear more moisture is coming, sorry it's the cold stuff with calves being born. Have a great evening.
Love seeing all the healthly babies! Fingers crossed for something similar to the gator soon. You have the gator dialed in for calving season and it's a must have for you and the cows!
You should use 5 gallon buckets trap two of them to the front the only time you need your rifle is right before sundown how are the bull doing Are use a bungee cord to keep the cooler down I seen it shaking
Day 10 watching my favorite TH-cam channel on my birthday!!! Went and fed my friend’s herd today with my family!!! Awesome to get 4 in one day!!! Love these videos! All my best to you Mike and your great family!!!
So, how long will the male calves reside on the ranch? They and some females are headed for "finishing" in about 9 months from now, right? This year, you sent off a bunch of steer calves for processing into beef jerky if I recall.
Love those calves. You treat the mothers like they are humans ( amazing).👍🇨🇦
I think you are very brave getting so close to those mum and calves. I lived on a beef property and know how skittish some of them can be.

Hey the FarmLady. Sending you love from Canada❤. Hey MIKE you should check The farmlady out. She's amazing...A collaboration will be amazing
Giving that cow one piece of cake is like giving a human one M&M. It just leaves them wanting more.
That cow is called blonde cow
I got a high power headlamp that fits on my hat for checking calves at night. It’s absolutely indispensable. Leaves both hands free.
She's been playing frisbee with the hubcap since you wouldn't buy her one. I do BELIEVE you're a good Dad.
Mike, you need a hug
Already 1/3 the way done with the 30 in 30. Love this series. Thank you Mike and Erin.
Thank you Mike and Erin for making these videos.
Glad you like them!
4 wheeler would have been handy when my dad was cowboying. He did everything on horseback.
My family of farmers goes waaaaay back. The only engine on the farm was a horse. Its no wonder back then horse theives got the death penalty. (hanged) No horse, no livelihood, no food, you die.
@@KellysAdventures305 exactly. My dad did everything from the back of a horse.
That was the sweetest thing ever! Running over to her baby!!
Yes you are a little crazy. Anyone who farms or ranches has to be a little crazy. We could not survive without you doing what you do. Be safe and good luck in everything that you do.
Number 80 said you see the Hub Cap, you should see the car!
Awesome video the 30/30 is just the BEST!!!!
Thank youy very much!
I've been following you for a long time. My husband and I both have covid. Both at home both in our 70's. We are doing ok we both got an infusion of Bamlanivimab. It is a life saver. Wish us luck in our journey back to health
Thank you much! Good luck!
I don't know if you pu comments this long after a video plays but your just having way to much fun here. Don't skip a beat. Thanks for being u
Thank you very much!!!
One of my neighbors cows had twins just a few hours ago. Hoping everything is ok with her and she doesn't reject one.
Hope they are both girls or both boys!!
Have a friend had a cow that give birth to triple and they all have survived. She’s keeping them all as pets.

"Hey.....cow!" Love it!!!!
I love the show keep it Goin Mike hope your family is OK over there
I love your “Cow Conversations “! 🤣 Cute, cute, cute!❤️
I hope and pray your calving season go’s smoothly and you start getting spring rains and to get out of the drought! Keep everything “hunkydorey”..
Thank you! You too!
Congratulations in the 4 new calves today.
Thank you!
Mike I enjoy the way you talk withe herd,your voice is calming to them,your the angel god sent to take care of the herd til tomorrow take care and God bless
Thanks for taking the time to share. From my seat I would love to come to help!
That's a nice size calf in the calf warmer!
This video shows how you take an interest in your cows and new born calves for more then just a dollar sign.
I saw a rancher/farmer had a sled/bucket that they put the calf in and towed behind a four wheeler to take it in when needed.
GATOR..........GATOR.........GATOR............You got some beautiful calves today. Mike you do a "great Job" with dealing with those mother cows.
Mike, you have a radio voice. Awesome voice!
I just ordered some of your Jerky! I can't wait for it to come so I can try it!!. 'Grass Fed Beef Stick 6 Packs - 4.5 oz × 1' Thanks for all the hard work!. I'm happy to be able to support American farmers!!

Thanks for sharing, Mike.

Hello
The calves are pretty. 🥰 Thank you for sharing.
What a beautiful sky
Pretty calf
Thank you again...I enjoy all of your videos.....🤗

Poor ol' half slappy. LOL!
I love all the license plates. I used to have a few but sold them years ago.
Yeah Mike, when I was growing up on the farm we had Registered Polled Herefords. And I remember number 72, we actually had to go out with the hayrack and get between cow and the calf!
But, she was such a good mother and she sired a calf who was “34”. (which my dad kept in the herd because “34” was a good mother also)! Go figure! Number 34 was temperamental too! 🐂👍😎
Stay warm
Hilarious episode! 🤣😂. Thank you for bringing us along.
U had me laughing a lot during this video love it when u talk to the cows
Interesting to see the work done to keep an eye on the herd. Scary to think that at any moment a protective mom could charge you that 4-wheeler. Hope you can get the mechanic to fix that gator sooner than later, good luck.
Shaking the bucket always helped me

Wyoming Skies are amazimg
I love the hub cap collector cow.
The markings on your calves this year are just beautiful!
Good Evening to Our Wyoming Life and all others too. Great to see you and those cute animals.
Nice Video Mike and i enjoyed it.
WOW !!!!. Mike you will need a lot of rest after these 30 days. I no you want be able too rest it is always something to do.
I am really enjoying the 30 in 30 videos. Always a life on a ranch.
Use a 3 gallon or 5 gallon bucket and train them to respond to the sound of cake shaking in the bucket
DFS - Department of Family Services... Have you ever had anyone stop on the highway, jump over the fence and render aid to a cow/calf? Always interesting, thanks!
Lol, your not going crazy, that whole scenario had me rolling!!
#2 almost taking your glove cracked me up. She wanted more cake lol.
You stay safe when the mean ones calve! Not sure I could handle keeping those after my great uncle's incident.
What happened to the rifle, have the coyotes gone away? Answered! I so enjoy these videos and watching the cows. Thanks for sharing Mike.
He said it was snowing when he went out last night and left it in the shop
I just find it amazing how you know each and every individual cow and their personalities. It touches me how much you love those animals. And your such a great and loving dad. Your videos are so great too. Wouldn't miss one. I love when 30 in 30 comes around.
O Mike I neeeed to laugh today thanks for helping me.

You should call that calf "Hubcap" since mom had a hubcap nearby!
The little red and white bull calf is cute. The mother's facial markings are beautiful.
Glad to hear more moisture is coming, sorry it's the cold stuff with calves being born. Have a great evening.
Cody is getting snow right now iT is 2:26 AM SO IT IS ON THE WAY.
We had no idea...wow
Hi Mike, thanks for these vlogs, great info on a farm life
Great video Mike, glad they are all doing well.
Thanks Mike. Always have enjoyed the 30 / 30. Also your regular vlogs. Hope that calf, call it red, gets his sea legs under him/ her. Take care
Another great day on the ranch! Thank you!
Our pleasure!
Always great videos Mike!!!!
I laughed so hard at the DFS rant! 🤣🤣🤣😍🤣
Hi, Mike. I love your one-sided conversations with those mama cows.
Love this time of year with your content, thank you.
Enjoying these. Thank you for doing this. I've learned a lot.
Some of us really love this,you have no idea how much I would love to do this again,maybe one day again,thank ya'll
Hello Mike Love seeing the new Calf's
You do a great job on videos.
Awesome Video as Always!!
That landscape and sky is gorgeous
Much needed laugh from today’s vlog!
Mike I find it so interesting that with all that acreage you know it like most folks know their small back yard. Cool stuff.
Love seeing all the healthly babies! Fingers crossed for something similar to the gator soon. You have the gator dialed in for calving season and it's a must have for you and the cows!
Snow good precipation means grass.
Not really because our snow here doesn't contain the moisture that rain does..
get you some rest it work out good video man
your pasture looks like desert lands... hope you get some rain soon
What farmer doesn’t complain about the weather always
I just remembered it was time for 30 in 30 let’s go I started watching last 30 in 30
Hi Noah!
Hello mike
You should use 5 gallon buckets trap two of them to the front the only time you need your rifle is right before sundown how are the bull doing Are use a bungee cord to keep the cooler down I seen it shaking
This was pretty funny. Luca
