    Thanks for joining us once again. This video was suggested to us by one of our viewers and regular commenters, Tortaboy. Sometimes its easy to be to close to it and forget that we tend to talk in a language that others may not have ever been exposed to. Thank you Tortaboy for the the great idea.
    If you have a suggestion for a video topic, feel free to email us at ourwylife@gmail.com.
    Thanks to everyone for watching and supporting our channel! - Mike

      Our Wyoming Life: When I was a youngster feeding hay (60# square bales) to a 40 cow herd at 5:00AM in winter before school, I had some terminology for them that you don't want mentioned here. :) Wish I had that chore to do today. Good on yall for what you are doing. Thanks for having us along.

    • @OurWyomingLife
      @OurWyomingLife  Před 6 lety +1

      I often wonder how many times the cows look at me and wonder what I'm doing. I get the same looks when i fly the drone around them. Doesn't bother them, but they all look annoyed with me. Lol. Thanks for watching. -Mike

    Mike, When I first started watching this video, I somehow thought it wouldn't be that interesting. However, as I continued watching it, I became totally fascinated with it all. Without a doubt, while ranching is massive hard work, It is fascinating to watch. The bull calling the ladies reminded me of my earlier dating years in the Navy... but I won't go there...
    Regards,
    Ron

    • @OurWyomingLife
      @OurWyomingLife  Před 6 lety +2

      Truth be told I was wondering when I made it, how interesting it would be. I'm probably hardest on myself though. I can only imagine a few bulls on shore leave. Noisy bar to be in! -Mike

  • @lucasnydam469
    @lucasnydam469 Před 6 lety +2

    Thanks for the video! I'm in the process of starting a mobile farm slaughter business but I didn't grow up around cattle. Learning the lingo is definitely important! I recently found your channel and I really enjoy it.

  • @zach_hewitt
    @zach_hewitt Před 6 lety +7

    As a new cow owner, I'm learning many of the terms like you guys did. Always good to expand your knowledge base, thanks for the help!
    On a humorous note, every time someone is talking about cattle, I'm always hearing the line from Tommy Boy "you can get a good look at a T-bone...."

    Wanabe rancher. Had me hooked after this video. Subscribed and have been watching the vids form the very 1st one. Can't thank you enough for putting out these videos. Even had the wife watching your wife doing the winter gardening.

    • @OurWyomingLife
      @OurWyomingLife  Před 6 lety

      I have to tell you this story, Erin and I were in the car headed to town for Mackenzies birthday dinner when your message popped through. On our phones we only see the first couple of words and Erin says to me, "someone just called you a wanna be rancher" Its been the day for weird comments so it made me laugh, then she read the rest of you comment. Thank you very much for making us both laugh on what has been a very long day and is sure to be longer. We are both glad that you found us and thank you very much for watching! - Mike & Erin

  • @karenbartlett1307
    @karenbartlett1307 Před 4 lety +1

    Very interesting! We had about 10 calves when I was a kid. We had to feed them calf-starter. Then my older brother took over all their care as his FFA project, and fed them hay through the winter. In 7th grade I used to listen to the 8th grade lessons on agriculture in our 3-room schoolhouse-our grades were in the same room. I've always been interested in ranching. I really appreciate your channel because you are kind to your animals. Subscribed!

      Oh I bet it was, when I left radio to come here, the owner of the group that I worked for out of Boston fancied himself a cattle guy, he had a few cows on a place he owned. He definitely had a different way than they have out here. Thanks - Mike

    Glad I found your channel the other day. I am a recent transplant to Texas and the whole cow, heifer, steer, bull thing had me afraid to open my mouth at the local farm market. I will still keep quiet but I can now learn a lot more from the local farm folks. Thanks.

    "Mosquito in a nudest camp" ... That's too funny 😂🤣. Thanks for the terminology. I'm living on a 846 acre ranch that leases the pastures out to a stock buyer/ seller. Everytime I'm recruited to help sort out the next shipment, I end up lost in the conversations. Your posts have helped alot, keep'em coming. You and Erin will make me a good cooking ranch hand someday. 😉😂🤣

    Just found your channel yesterday. I've been watching some of your vids this morning. You guys really do some great videos. Good luck on the winter gardening. I'll be following along on that. As far as the cows, I'll just have to live vicariously through your videos. LOL! Cows are cool! You are doing a great job for someone who didn't grow up on a farm. I have to say that every time I finish watching one of your videos, I'm surprised that you don't have way more subscribers. Thanks for passing on the knowledge and information.

    Absolutely right about heifers ,we calve 60 heifers each year all home bred also the 3 bulls that are run with them are homebread and are polled simply selected out of the fattening yards.bulls go into the heifers on march the first each year so heifers and bulls are roughly 14 months old and will be due to calve in December

    Great Video, isn't ranching a fantastic life. I own a small ranch in Texas and raise Zebus. I feel sorry for those that have never experienced Ranch life but then with me having Zebus you probably think I don't know

      @OurWyomingLife  Před 6 lety

      Hi John, thats is awesome you have zebus. They are one of the more interesting type of cattle for me to look at, and it always amazes me what people can run and do...In no way would I down play what you do, and I would love to learn more about them. You are right that its amazing for people to experience the ranch life, Thats what I love about youtube, giving people from all walks of life to step into our shoes. Thanks and thanks for watching - Mike

    Hey Mike.. great video on the terminology and I know you guys work hard.. As an ex beef farmer in New England .. it would seem that getting that hay off the ground and not having the cattle grinding it into the ground...would be a help on the waste.. Thanks for sharing you ranching life we enjoy watching. All the best

    • @OurWyomingLife
      @OurWyomingLife  Před 6 lety +2

      The majority of it they eat pretty fast. That part of the video was taken about 4 in the afternoon after they had already been fed about 7am that morning, but I totally understand what you are saying. My ultimate goal would be to be able to bunk feed and we are looking into ways to be able to do that. Thanks for watching Rob, means alot to us! - Mike

    I've just spotted that old Wagon in with the Heifers , isnt that rare. I'm in the Uk and I've only seen these wagons on Hollywood movies as waggon trains . How old is it ??
    Lovely video . The dairy cattle left our farm in 1976 , but I still remember them fondly.
    Thank you.

    • @OurWyomingLife
      @OurWyomingLife  Před 6 lety +1

      I have a number of old wagons that I have rebuilt or am in the process of. Hard to pinpoint the year on them but that black one is a covered wagon, probably originally from the late 1800s. Usually I put them in the yard in the spring but this last year with the construction on my mother in laws house I didn't, there was a lot of traffic in and out, big trucks and what not so I didnt want one to get hit. We will be putting them out this spring however. Thank you very much and thanks for watching - Mike

    • @OurWyomingLife
      @OurWyomingLife  Před 6 lety +1

      That reminds me, I sat a couple years ago and watched two bulls bellow at each other, almost face to face. Kind of a stand off, funny part was there were all these cows standing around watching them. They all had a look like, "ummmm, we're right here" lol it was funny. Thanks Kory! - Mike

    Shoot this doesn't even scratch the surface...then you get into Bos Taurus vs. Bos Indicus, Sire, Dam, British/English breeds vs Continental/Exotic, Gomer bulls etc. which for the most part gets into too advanced stuff and stock show stuff compared to just normal rancher terms. Great basic terminology though. Love the videos.

      Its not in too bad of shape, I also have a couple buckboard wagons.

We will be putting them out in the spring. Thanks Mike - Mike

    • @OurWyomingLife
      @OurWyomingLife  Před 6 lety +1

      I have a dump rake, I'm not sure it would pick up manure though. I've never tried it on manure. I usually just hit it with a drag. The dump rake might work to pick up the frozen stuff if it would come unstuck from the ground. Thanks for the suggestion. - Mike

  • @greathodgy22
    @greathodgy22 Před 6 lety +1

    Good video, lots of information. When do you start calving ? Here in Alberta it starts in February which is hit and miss when it comes to weather. I used to live in Saskatchewan and there is no way to start in February, way to cold. My cousin is still there and he has about 160 head in his cow/calf operation and calfs in May. Weather is good and no checking the herd at 0300 in a snowstorm.

    • @OurWyomingLife
      @OurWyomingLife  Před 6 lety

      The weather game is tough. We start calving in March with heifers and the cows will start at the end of March. We will still get some wet heavy snow during calving but we try to avoid as much of the cold as we can. Then again, who knows what the weather will do. Thanks for watching! - Mike

    Hey Mike - really great video, all stuff I didn't know. This probably isn't the right video to ask this question (maybe the one you were taking the cows to market) but I wanted to ask you why you don't have a couple of dogs to help sort the cows out. I'm sure you have your reasons, just curious.

    Do castrated bulls not produce that characteristic hump on their neck like the breeders have ? Or is that hump just a result of age ?

    • @OurWyomingLife
      @OurWyomingLife  Před 6 lety +1

      the more pronounced hump over the shoulders is a adaptation to also show masculinity in a bull, and goes along with the whole "good looks" and intimidation to other rival bulls with the heavier muscling in the neck and shoulders. Casterated bulls wont develop it or it will be less defined. Good question, thanks Jason and thanks for watching - Mike
