MIke, I cannot see the channel being the same without you. You did such a great job and I always looked forward to watching you. Always made my day when I saw a new video. Best of luck. I will watch you on Beyond the Ranch.

Reason why we visited the ranch and followed the channel for four years was you, Mike. Heart broken. Going to miss you❤

This channel won't be the same without the clear affection you show for the animals in your care. Bambi, Bean, Forrest, Jenny, Petunia, Crackerjack & all the rest will miss you as will we.

He was the channel. Channel will die without him.

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

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.😪

Sad does not even begin to scratch the surface of what my broken heart is feeling. Letting go of all the blood, sweat, and tears poured into your ranch life and marriage/ parenting is more than I can process at this time. It does not bode well for the sustainability of the Ranch as we have known it. Prayers and hugs

We visited the ranch in 2021. It inspired us in so many ways. Yes, life does go on Mike. The Greeks has a saying: When one door closes another one opens. Will catch you on the other side. Aloha!

Wow, over 1k in lost subscribers….people love Mike! I hope you feel the impact you made in the lives of hundreds of thousands.

I’m a grown man and I’m crying like a baby. Thank you Mike you’ve done more for me and my growth In ranching. I’ll forever be grateful for you and sharing your life

PRAYERS FOR ALL OF YOUR FAMILY!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 The channel IS you, Mike!! Cant watch it without you. 😔

I have no words. Mike, you definitely were the one who drew me into your world. So much that I drove from Myrtle Beach, SC just to get a glimps. Absolutely 💯 % the best vacation I have ever had. I'm 60 yrs. old. I loved meeting you, Kari and Jeff, and the kids. I never did get to see Erin. You were the one who called when my order was messed up, and you treated me with so much respect. I will be looking forward to finding out where your new life takes you. Let me know if you need some rent money 😂, I'll send you a few dollars. Hug those babies for me and I hope you'll consider me (and my family) one of your good friends. Love you buddy! Ms Beth

So sorry to hear Mike :-( This channel is you, you are who brought us back week after week and I am so sad you must leave!!

In all my years, a KZread video has never hurt as much as this one. I literally chased my dreams and started my own ranch because of you Mike. I've learned so much from you. I will be following you on the other channel.

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.

​​@@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.

Wow...stunned. Trying to be respectable as possible. There would not even be a ranch without you Mike. It would have been taking over by developers long ago and without you it is probably sadly its fate.

Thank you both. Thank you for having me sit down first. May God bless each of you and the family. I am so sorry to hear this and I pray you both find that this was the best decision. God bless you.

Wow.... let me pick my jaw up off the floor. However, I will say that it had become obvious that something wasn't right. I honestly can't remember the last time I saw Erin in a video and the inconsistent posting meant something was off. Whatever the reason, I hope everything works out for the both of you and that the ranch moves forward and you Mike find a new path that we can follow you along on. You really turned this NYC suburban guy into a true ranch life follower and I enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks for that and best of luck!

Hey mike. Ive wayched your videos for over six years. I paid extra attention to your operational cost videos. Those videos were extremely helpful to me. Not many ranchers or farmers will be so open about the true cost. I appreciate your story here and my wife and i will be praying for you all in this new venture. So sorry😢 for your pain friend.

Mike, I grew up on a Wyoming ranch, and after retiring, moved to warmer Arizona. Your channel let me reminisce and still feel the ranch life from years gone by. I will miss seeing you explicitly explain the ups, the downs, the hardships and the love only a true ranch can have. You gave a real picture of what ranching and the ranching business entails, and the positive impact ranching and agriculture has on life itself. Thank you for all you have done this past eight years. I wish you all the best in your new journey and will subscribe to your new channel. ❤

Have a great life in your future Mike,i will follow you on your other channel,i cant see the point of continuing to watch this channel because it was you and your work i loved to see x

So sorry and saddened to hear this news. Not sad for myself, but for you, Erin, and the kids. Thank you for letting us know. Thank you also for all that you have done in the process of building up this channel. I will continue to follow here, as well as over on Beyond the Ranch. I've been following both channels for a long time and plan to continue. My best wishes for you all through the days, months, and years to come.

I’ve been watching this channel since 2018, first episode, watched “the cost of ranching” I knew something was up when they stopped doing live streams on the couch 🛋️ months ago. It’s sad news as a big fan from New York City. Stay strong Mike we love you! Definitely going to watch you on beyond the ranch. It’s a fitting name for your new journey. 🫂

I will instead move on to watching Beyond the Ranch and I wish you all the success. I am heartbroken you have to go through this tough decision in your life. How will this ranch and channel do without you? I do not want to think that far. You, my friend, have the tone and voice full of encouragement and it warms my heart just to listen to you and not watching the videos. Adieu Mike! See you on your other channel.
