      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

You know what happens when 2 people who are in 2 different places in a relationship try to stay together for the kids sake? They both become miserable and it affects the relationship with the children. If their relationship is over and they can both come to grips with that, then they’re better off moving on, and being happy in their own space. When they are happier, they can bring more of that happiness to the children. Yes, it sucks for EVERYONE at first, but it’ll smooth out in time, as long as Mike and Erin can stay civil with each other.
      I’ve lived this personally. My parents divorced when I was very young, so I know what it like going through the whole “visitation” thing, and then when I had a child of my own, I spent 10 years with his mother going through good times and bad, trying to “work it out, but she didn’t want to change her ways, so I bought my own house and left. My son has lived with me almost exclusively since then….. he knew at 10 years old!

      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.

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.

    Mike, just so you know it's hard for me to give you a thumbs up. Because I don't like what I just heard. You are the channel and no one else. I will follow you on your other channel. Sorry to hear the bad news. You are the reason I started watching.

Mike you were a wonderful ambassador for farming life and I am sure that you will continue on in some capacity in the future. Thinking of all the family at this emotional time.

    Mike, Erin, to say I am totally surprised with this announcement goes without saying! You both know what is best for each of you, and especially for your three youngsters. That said, this choice by you both is fully respected! As such, and without blathering too too much, Erin, may your and Our Wyoming Life continue down a successful path, while Mike enjoys a like success Beyond The Ranch! I hope you may each continue forward with the quality work that you are each and both known for!! -Bob...

    Wow. Mike. I don't know what to say. I guess I wasn't really surprised. . . things have seemed to be just a tiny bit "off" on the channel for the last little while. That being said, by the end of the video, you had me in tears.
    I have been a subscriber to your channel for many years. Your channel has always been a "go-to" comfort place for me. And now it looks like it is done. . .
    I'll probably be moving on as well. I can't imagine watching OWL without your upbeat attitude and smiling face.
    Happy trails, Mike. I wish you all the best.

  • @deanm375
    @deanm375 7 месяцев назад +7

    while I'll still watch OWL to help support Mikes children the only cattle ranch channel left for me is "Farmer Tyler Ranch" . Tyler runs a small family ranch North of Sacramento California. He's like Mike in that he is very good at explaining why he does what he does. and he's genius when it comes to solving issues and creating what he needs from scrap material on his property. It was my wish that someday Mike and Tyler would collaborate on a video. I discovered both channels at the same time several years ago and they were always watched together. Wishing Mike and his family some peace and that Mike finds his way. While he's only been running the channel for 8 years I believe he and Erin started working the ranch back in 2008. Hopefully he can find a way to keep on raising cattle someplace else. Mike has worked hard to become the rancher he is now. It would be a shame to waste all that talent. It also speaks to Mike's character that he will not air any dirty laundry or cast aspersions on Erin publicly.

    I do wish Erin and Kari good luck. I hope you two can make it happen. Mike your love for your animals and teaching us so much about where our food comes from is what kept me here watching. I have watched you even when I lived in Oregon, before moving to Wyoming.
    I will definitely watch you on Beyond the Ranch...I have tears typing this!! Praying for you all especially your children because it is hardest on them!
    Not goodbye Mike, see you later on your new channel. 💔

To invest the best years in the ranch which is not even yours to upgrade and develop with a equipment and know how much different than what was before is just so big shame and waste of the life. Ok,your kids will enjoy fruits of your hard labor Mike,but I just hope that you will find your way for good future. I do not know and I wouldn’t like to know what was going on betven two of you but in these 5 or more years I was enjoying Because of you and Jeff,you are the brand of the ranch,with all due respect to Everybody else. Take care “my friend”looking forward to see something good from your future moves. Best wishes from Croatia 🇭🇷❤️
