Mike I really admire your dedication to your animals. Hard morning on the ranch
Your a very dedicated farmer. Bless your heart❤
It amazes me how well you handle the cows all by yourself.
My wife and I were just saying that
They are in a precarious financial position right now and funds are limited by constraints. There's little income to justify veterinary visits, however, they have been, with time and effort, finding themselves increasingly better versed to handle various aspects of operating their ranch. Pulling a calf is an accomplishment and they have learned a great deal since coming there. They are, like others, having to learn how do more with less. It isn't an easy occupation.
@@thomaskeil1437 Well said.
I know, I’m a one guy show to. You know the girls know me, and there actually more chill, when I’m there alone.
It’s really scary when you have those big calves and they’re having trouble. You amaze me and handle it so well
WOW ! That is quite the video of you working alone. Thank you for showing us the hard work you do. We appreciate you farmers and ranchers. 😊
Thanks for watching RD Summach.
Don’t apologize about the camera. Taking care of that heifer and calf is more important! Mike you are the best mid-wife
So glad the calf was alive,that was a hard pull for a first time momma,I think she is in shock,glad she's ok,the calf is so cute 🥰
It's called management and he's not doing a good job. Especially first time heifers should be bred to a smaller frame bull not a 2 thousand pound monster. How much dies a dead calf bring at the sale barn.
Omg. So glad the baby is ok. That left front leg looks injured.
Great job Mom and Mike.
Yeah I saw that too.
Hi Shari, that can happen with large calves. Not an injury, but just from being contorted....the ligaments just need time to stretch. So, they kinda walk on their "knuckles". See it a lot on large calves and twins.
Yes exactly. He’s doing great now!
@@timbaker7238 this is what I was looking for 😊
@@joanneriley3899 glad I answered that for you.
That is one sore mom, and extremely tired. Great job Mike. Pulling calves is never a fun this to do. So glad you have the knowledge to take care of your animals.
As an OB nurse for 8 years I know exactly what you are feeling. It's the same as when I needed to resuscitate a baby after a difficult birth! Me and Doc. at the same time; " We did it again!"
💓
Glad for people like you and the Dr who took care of my daughter who didn't breath at birth! Thanks for what you do
Do not worry about camera work, take care of the cows.🐮🐮🐮
That Mama is so lucky she had you there to help her and her calf. Great job!
That was intense. Glad that calf was alive and appears to be OK. 👍
The way you talk to her I can tell how much you care for your animals.awesome job pulling all by yourself.
Mike, you are so wonderful. The care you give to your livestock is so heart warming. God Bless you 🙏 ❤ 🙌
Thanks so much for saying that. I appreciate it Janet.
Baby comes first. Don't worry about camera.❤😍
Aw its a wonderful thing to see 48 being so calm with her calf and standing still for him to suckle. And a handsome boy she made at that.
Congrats 130 for little heifer.
By the way, you can drop that camera like its hot if you need to. You can always tell us the details later.
Mama 48 must have been in shock. That is one big boy!
Awe… my heart. So good to see the baby is okay and Momma is so attentive to her little fellow. Great Job helping with the delivery! Saved his life!
It’s incredible the way you single handedly deal with difficult births etc it’s unreal !!! Kudos to you !!
Happy Sunday Mike Erin & kids,so glad the calf was alive.WOW your work never ends!So admire the way you take care of all of your animals.Have a great new week! 🌷💕🌷
That was fantastic. So happy for you. Love how you talk to each cow. I am grateful to be able to explore cattle farming with you.
Mike you are incredible the dedication you give to your herd. That cafe was huge great job.
The adrenaline was really pumping in this video! Glad it turned out so well. Thank you Mike & Erin
That cold snow probably feels good on her nether regions. Bless her heart, and yours. Glad baby made it through the birth.
So glad to see that calf up and doing well! We're just about to start lambing season here!
This was a breath holding few minutes of video. So glad it turned out well. Have a great evening.
Glad you enjoyed it
@@OurWyomingLife I got to help hold a bull calf's head as he was being pulled in the dairy barn, a long time ago, but an experience I'll never forget.
Great work, Mike. Banamine is given at 1-2 cc per 100 pounds. Also, for extremely swollen tongues, 1 cc of Dexamethasone directly in to the tongue will help. And BoSe or MuSe, depending on your area, will help with the contracted tendons in the calves front ankles.
Ankles,they dont have ankles!
Donkey and emus have developed quite a nice friendship.
They do seem to get along pretty well.
I grew up on a farm with South Devon cattle, and of our herd of 450 females, we get 3-5 over-sized calf births a year which need assistance. A car jack is always our the 1st port of call for a stuck big calf once the legs are out. Can’t always wait for the Vet when they’re 60 miles out.
I heard a few bleeps, but I would have been praying so hard. Then when the calf was miraculously born alive, I would have been praising with hallelujahs! You are blessed.
You and Erin are amazing. The amount of love that you show for all!!❤❤❤❤❤
Mike, I always love how dedicated you are to the animals on the ranch. And when it's calving season, your care for the cattle really shows. You are out all hours of the night and day checking to see who's getting close to calve. That bull calf and its mom would not have lived if you hadn't been on watch. I'm so excited the calf and mom survived and are doing great! He definitely is a big boy for a newborn. I doubt if one of the older cows could deliver one that big without your assistance. So congratulations for another successful birth!🥰
When you go out to check heifers you should take roll call. One “moo” for “nothing happening”, two “moos” for “birth in progress”. Could help streamline things. ;-)
I can’t believe how hard you work, Mike. You are a hero!
The Sheep Game (in Scotland) is lambing 800 ewes and has an issue with really large lambs. In their case, not yours, it's because Cam says he started conditioning rations 4 weeks late and all the energy went to the lambs.
Wow!! So glad everything worked out!! I literally was holding my breath until I saw her breathing...what a miracle...👍❤🇺🇸
30 in 30..... WOW! This was an amazing video! I think we ALL held our breaths while you were pulling that BIG baby out! So glad that baby and Mama are doing well! The new baby out with Mama in the pasture looks so cute too! They are both good Moms! Can't wait until tomorrow's video! 👍👍
Amazing Mike I heard you breathing hard though, be careful. You need something that can provide leverage nearby to help in these situations.❤❤❤❤
I love how nice you are to the cows. It's good to see. Never change.
Cow Whisper! Amazing job, all by yourself. Thank God you were there for Mama Cow.
Mike you are amazing I can feel the love you have for what you do!!!! And i am very thankful for letting us watch and enjoy what you do ❤️ may you have good rest for another day on the ranch! With many blessing and continued prayers for you all.
Awesome job Sir, on delivery of another precious calf. I love all creature babies, but farm babies are my very favorites. Thank you Mike for sharing your amazing life with all of us. God Bless you, your family and all of your animals. ❤️ from N. TX.
Mike, you are so wonderful. The care you give to your livestock is so heart warming. God Bless you 🌷🌷🌺🌺🌹🌹🌼🌼🌷🌷🌷❤❤❤❤💙💙💙💙💙💙
I’ve never done any farming but I’m so obsessed with yt videos of the things that happen on working farms/ranches. I think the main take away I’ve seen so far is that some the most “show no mercy to the animals” moments are actually the truest moments of mercy. What you did looks so barbaric with no context, yet, hearing you explain it and show the whole process… it is truly a beautiful moment. You did so much to help the momma and the calf and you saved them while keeping a cool head and never giving up. This is so admirable
Aww the big calf is adorable and I’m sad he’ll go in the feed lot when he’s bigger. I eat meat but am also a wildlife rescuer and my heart is definitely with animals, all kinds. I couldn’t do what you do but I understand how great it must be for people to buy lovely fresh meat that’s been raised so well. I hope you get a good nights sleep occasionally because you seem to be active and working so hard 24/7. Thanks for another great video and sharing the amazing life you lead.
YEA A LIVE CALF. Hard but great pull. Great catch. These heifers have really tested you thus far... Keeping you on your toes, Mike.
Awesome job hustling, and not letting the camera slow you down from your primary focus.
Wow Mike ,man you do such an awesome job! You and Erin make a great team. Thanks so much for doing 30 in 30. ❤ you all.
I love a rancher with a double pierced ear! Bucking the stereotype, thanks for inspiration!
I'm happy that the calf made it out alive; not happy that you are putting him into your feed lot!
Egads! what a morning! So glad mom was able to get up, scary few minutes there! And swollen tongues are so dangerous, glad you have that medicine cabinet. Well, another exciting day on the ranch! Thanks for sharing!
"Humungus" would make a great name for that big ol bull calf! Congratulations!
Tell Jeff we will miss him in the fall. I look forward to seeing you guys work together ❤😂
Hay Guys you've kids have come a long way from the first time you started your channel . GREAT JOB GUYS ENJOY YOUR CHANNEL SO MUCH 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
The joys of ranch life - wtg Mike - that was a life saving job for both calf and mother!!!! That calf in the barn is walking on his left front ankle instead of his hoof - will that correct itself???
I remember when I first started watching your channel several years ago. At that time the ranch seemed to have mostly "wild and crazy" cows, which seemed to make your "calving watch" jobs much more difficult, not to mention more dangerous. It's great to see how your calm demeanor (and frequent cake treating) with the cows you are working with now has cultivated more gentle cows and much easier cooperation. Great job guys!
Good job, this is my first time on a computer so I can comment. I usually use the tv, handy but not what I wanted. Great job, So happy to see #48 do a super job. Take care and watch out for all this snow that is coming.
1st episode I've seen. Mike is better than many local TV reporters. I subbed and thumbs up!
#4 keep them coming. You put them i watch them. From the imperial county California 👍👍🖐️🇺🇲🇺🇲
Praying for this precious baby calf
I used to watch those glamorous cowboy type of ranch, and in my mind, I was convinced that, that’s the way it was. Thank God, I started to watch the videos that the ranchers load up to internet. Then I realized the hard work ranchers do. Thank you all for your hard labour. It’s greatly appreciated. God bless you all.
❤awe such a cute baby! So happy you were able to save him!
This just makes me want to come spend a day on your ranch... preferably not during the winter, though. You're talking about warm days on days my whole state would be shut down. 😂
I was pulling with you. Cow never even cried out. Really tough pull. Great job.
Wouldnt have minded an extra set of hands pulling either!
♥️♥️♥️♥️ another beautiful baby boy. You rock Mike.
When I had my little farm in Oregon I loved springtime. When I first saw every new baby I knew/felt there really is a good God. Luckily I never had to pull a calf or anything else so I can only imagine how great it must feel to save one.
I can’t believe how your cows do just what you tell them to do. Also they seem so docile
I had a cow delivering breach once. Called the vet. He couldn’t get there. He said not to pull straight out, but down towards the ground. Big bull calf came out ok.
Great job, saw a guy place one of those long plastic gloves over the cows nose and mouth, when she had no air she stood up, he quickly whipped the glove off then.
Such a handsome boy. I love Angus.
Mike, I give you a ton of credit for sticking with filming. I might have said F-it and tossed the camera. So glad you didn’t as we learn so much from times like these. Thank you
Heroes come in all different areas of life...and you are one!! Great job!!
I think ur great....such a caring person and I think the animals in ur care r very lucky
Wows what drama with the calf birth, I was trying to help mom while watching 😂. Great job helping mom
I love caving season! I’m happy to report I’m done for this year. Makes one really appreciate a full nights sleep! Hope you enjoy yours Mike, after the live stream!!!
Amazing , thank you all for saving the calf , outstanding job , stay safe !
As an Aussie I love the way you pronounce Emu!!! Most Americans say it soooo wrong.
I don't know how you keep track of the moms and their calves!❤❤🤠
Amazing you could pull that big calf by yourself! That's hard work! So glad the calf was alive. I LOVE watching this channel! So glad you made a comeback!
Praise the Lord
Wow that new mama went right to her calf!
Awesome job Mike, couldn't have done better myself pulling the calf and you and Erin getting he up. It's always a win in situations like that when you can come out with a live birth and the cow is okay too! I didn't know about the Banamine either, good tip. Well this was very successful day, winning in all fronts, that's a blessing for sure, congrats! Enjoyed this one, thanks Mike, have a great night, see you tomorrow!
She's a good new momma
She really is!
Such a amazing job dude and knowing the calf wasn’t breach was 💯 % good news and also you was able to get mom out the crush which was a god send to help her out 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Congratulations on the new editions and more to come ❤ everyone stay healthy and safe
Maybe you could leave a sled by the squeeze chute in case you are by yourself again when having to pull a calf, so you don't have to make the calf lay in the cold weather & snow for 10 or 15 minutes....Glad you finally got a calf that didn't have to be pulled!! lol Even if you don't have anyone there to help you pull a calf, you are NEVER alone Mike, we are all pulling with you. One can only do the best they can, God will take care of the rest.
Very busy day for you Mike. Relieved the big black calf made it OK and drank some much needed Collostrum. Take care
I actually have experienced many births growing up on a dairy farm in Western Massachusetts. You are correct, it is an experience like no other both good and bad. Good, of course, is joyful.
Agreed. An experience like no other. Thanks for watching.
I haven't been at a cow birth since I was a kid, BUT I have had the honor of delivering 5 women of their babies' out in the field. I'm retired Firefighter/EMT. Now I have to say that being their for someone's very first breath is just AMAZING
Always nice when things go good
I cannot believe it - mother cows & calves should be put into barns during winter like in UK
Mike, you are so amazing. I love the 30/30 videos. Husband watch this one today and said, damn, that Mike guy has a lot on his shoulders, what an amazing rancher.. I agree 💜
Thank you again for sharing your life with all of us
The calf is beautiful.
Another toughie. I'm always amazed at how tough a new born calf or horse is. But it's great that you are watching them so close. A lot of really big ranches don't or simply can't watch them all.
Boy you work hard. Nice job saving Calves!
Mike diud you notice he was knuckled under on left front hoof. Glad he was trying to nurse. Great job all by yo urself.
He is a big beautiful boy and a cute little heifer they are just adorable, I love baby calves‼️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Mike are you sure your numbers are right, I think there are 5 calves on the ground. You did a great job saving that calf.
A very busy morning for you.
She is a good first time momma, especially after a hard birth.
Feel bad for the momma that you had to shock her right after she had such a hard birth but also know that you did what you had to do in her best interest. Great job.
Praise the Lord it's alive. I did see the eye blink, So excited. Two baby calves today. Great day for the Ranch. Good job Mike.
