Thunder, good strong name good strong bull. Growing up on the plains of Wyoming I still remember the thunder before the storms and the thunder of hooves as they quickly run through the sage. So many years ago, like bulls we age and move on. I enjoy watching and remembering, I know your dad and your father inlaw are smiling and proud.

That rush of emotion holding back the tears when the vet tells you the news that a loved animal is too badly injured and they have to be humanely put to sleep and all the time thinking could his accident have been avoided, But Mike, you take stock you looked after him to your best ability and big beasts break legs easily so unless you penned him in cotton wool nothing more could have been done and at the right time you made the right decision RIP Bubba God bless and watch over you Erin and the Kids mate..... and call the black bull Tyson.

The last time I cried about an animal being put down was when my pet pig red was loaded onto the trailer to be butchered. I bottle fed him and we kept him around for a long time as a breeder bore for us.....Then my dad announced we were loading him up to take to the meat market....the hardest part of seeing a friend go is being a kid and eating your friend on Saturday morning after you get in from chores. That son is the truth

This channel should have a million subscribers

That JD Gater is one versatile tool. Kudos to you, Mike. I could not imagine a more responsible, practical, compassionate rancher (and your little ranch hands too). Good job everyone.

Great video Mike. Like the drone aerial views, adds a lot of depth to the operation.

Please take us with you when you go bull shopping this year . Would like to know what you look for, etc.

We used to have a big black angus bull that we called "George". He was as gentle as ever. We could lay down on his back or stand on his back with no problem. He was always my favourite bull.

I love the way Mike connects with the animals. He treats them more like pets. He takes excellent care of them.

I was born in Mexico. & at the age of 6 I was already milking cows by hand..we moved to USA & I would love to work doing this job...🐂🐂

Sad, but good video, Mike. Sorry for your losses this past week. We lost our 15 1/2 year old Golden Shepherd two weeks ago so this made me cry, again. The ranch roundup sounds like a great idea.

Man, that was a rough first few minutes. I really appreciate how much you respect these animals, from the largest bull to even the smallest barn kitten.

Wow mike you have a rough week I was aware of your mother in laws cow passing really sorry for her and you I'M sure it was hard on all of you. Thanks for sharing parts of your life with us. I have been enjoying the live streams you and Erin have been doing I think they are a nice touch and another insight to what your lives are like living and running the ranch. Hope your having a great day. God Bless!!!

Bodacious the bull

All animals are Precious, so there's yours bulls name. Precious the bull.

Great video Mike. I'm a vet over 90% disabled. Your videos have given me inspiration and helped me and my wife find a direction for our life. I was watching this video with my year and half year old and she saw the Black Angus and now is running around yelling Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon. So that's our vote. From the mouth of baby Toothless

I'm going to really try and be there. Love your channel keep up the great videos. You are truly a man of your word and that's so rare now a days. My hat is off to you.

Look up Dr Temple Grandin, she is amazing with working animals. we used some of her techniques at the farm and it made animal handling incredibly more efficient. I really would like to make it to your event, if your even looking for a volunteer to help I would be interested. Thanks so much for sharing Mike, Erin.

Name him Jasper! We had a steer named Jasper and I just think it fits pretty well lol. Sorry for your losses, I admit I teared up when I heard Adie (Aidie?) was gone. It's never easy.

Thank you for being so diligent about the fence line when you moved the bulls. Having experienced what its like to hit a stray bull on a highway, I know it's not a fun time for both the driver or rancher.

I nominate Jack for his name. Nice video. We're given dominion over our animals, including kind and humane care - - clear to the end. Thanks!

A little tip for you when the animals start to go to the other end of the pasture. Chase them that way a little harder and they will soon turn and want to go the right way. It has always worked for us.

This was a tough one to watch Mike, I never knew how attached I was to my animals until one of my goats passed away it didnt help that he was my favorite goat but I sat there and cried like a baby you would have thought I lost one of my children, but my kids are all grown up now and I have a small barn with a couple of ponies a couple of pigs and the goats for my grandkids to learn about animals and I enjoy there company there all great pets but they are a lot of work for me because I am in a wheelchair and cleaning stalls takes on a whole new meaning these days I really appreciate you sharing your ranch with us and one day I would like to visit when you have another family day there

BIG BUBBA Sounds good. GREAT VIDEO AGAIN. BE NICE TOO MAKE THAT TRIP NEXT YEAR.

Hello! Just found your channel and subscribed! I'll be binge watching to try and catch up to current vids!😄

Hey Mike , Not such a good week but never mind things can only get better right ? Aww no fair about the meet and greet LOL.😀 Oh well we will just have to be content with the live stream. I thought I would Thankyou about the reply you sent to me on my partners Bevans account . I had my note book in being fixed after having the sockst repaired . You said you were so glad to hear what I had wrote about my acceptance of ranching being a vegetarian and having so much negativity from other vegans ect . Thanks to you and watching how you care and have respect for your herd and the bond that you have with them you had opened my mind . So that was me under Bevan Mudges name . All the best 😊

Mike's got an intrastate running through his front yard even (still) he knows he's got it so good!!!

Your voice is so calming! I really enjoyed watching this!

Sorry about the tough week guys, we've all had them. You should consider naming that bull Ferdinand if he's nice enough. Exciting news about the open house.

Great video Mike. I nicknamed my granddaughter George. So she told me to say George. So George it is. Have a great weekend and stay safe.-Tom

I'm glad I found your channel. I you make it a yearly thing on your ranch. I'm sorry I missed it last year. I would love to go and see the Ranch in person.

What a week!! I'm sorry for your losses. I hope you all have a great week! I think the new bull should be called Newbie.

What a bummer week, here is to a better next week. Way to go Bubbles. :) Bulls always surprise me on how well they can behave.

Love this channel. I am a second gen Oklahoma rancher, and i feel you show what ranching really is without glamorizing. For me mostly hard physical and mental work, lots of aggravation, and a thousand year to do list with low take home pay. But, we must love every minute, or dont know any better. When i figure it out ill let you know. Keep up the awesome vids cowboy.

WOW. Production quality is getting better and better each time. Keep it up! Sorry about the rough week, hopefully its the last one for a while.

Sorry for the tough week ! Life holds many bad and good things but we must go on. Condolences to Erin's mom on the loss of her beloved cow. The new alpha bull looks like a Freddie to me. Looking forward to some of that snow here in eastern NE. as winter is my favorite time of the seasons.

I like that drone being part of the Ranch...👌🤣

BO the Bull, to keep with the b's. 😁 So very sorry about the losses of the animals this week. They become part of the family and that never make it easy when their time to pass on comes. 😪 One of the harder parts of what you do I am sure. On a positive note, thank you for the exciting announcement!!! Wyoming vacation - here we come!!! 😁 Hope we can get it pulled off and plan to be there!

Sorry for the loss

Rough week, I’d name the bully tiny. Hope all gets better, good luck this winter.

Buffalo Bob for the big black bull.......you have had a horrible week. It always gets better but seems pretty bad at the time. Be safe and God Bless you and your family. Totally cool news about the Ranch visit.

Make room for 5! We are very excited!

Very well narrated.

Wow I have never seen markings on a horses face like the one at 13.+so unusual , stunning...

Hi again! A tough day at the ranch huh Mike! So sorry to all of you for your losses. I know all to well and it's especially hard when the kids are young. Tough for them to understand the whole life concept thing and especially after they've been given a name!! It's really personal then for the kiddos and that much tougher to accept they won't be with them anymore. We always had a small ceremony made little crosses and talked about God and His plan which always helped. Chore by chore things leave the list and you get a chore closer to being ready for winter! Oh remembering those WY cold winter winds!! In spite of it all a good day with the bull chore Mike. Oh wow what a wonderful invitation for a visit next year! How gracious and I must say brave to add such a huge event to your list. How I would so enjoy going back to your part of the country and meeting you folks. Good idea to put it out there early because people do have to plan ahead for such things. Have to get passed an upcoming nasty surgery but that surely gives me something to look forward to! Foods from your very ranch would be most special and enjoyable after going along with you both learning how you produce it all. I have great hope I will be there. By the way Mike I was smiling and relieved you only had one fence repair! Yay! Hope your days this week will go good and easier for you. Til next time...

That's a big to do August should be alot of fun for folks! Busy time for us truckers

August 24th! Got it! We will be there! :)

Really cool to see the livestock part of farming. We used to have hogs, but I was too little to really learn any of the process when we had them. It's fascinating to see it done. Man youtube is great ;)

Phestus would b a great name. Thankyou for great video. It's rough looking so much, so quickly. But new times are around the corner.

Sorry to hear for all your,loss
