The land can only support so many. Also, some are related to him already. I believe he is getting a few more from what was said in previous videos, lol, He'll be fine :)
Yeah, they are moving them all around right now. He will get some more ladies in his herd. They had to get him moved so that they could sort some out of the Big Joe herd. But the Ponderosa wasn't quite big enough to support and keep two fully mature bulls. Dunbar's herd will grow naturally because the new young Big Joe heifers will have to go with either him or Haas. They have to test them all to figure out which are which.
Im a (66 year old) citygirl from the netherlands. Ofcourse there are cows horses and other animals in the neighborhood but for me they are far from me. I like to watch your video's. You explane what you are doing. Love to see your family. Thank you very much. Keep save.(sorry for my bad english )
Dusty you Sir are absolutely charming. It was truly hard to keep from laughing when you knew you were about to be in trouble with "Mom" when moving the little ones. Honestly it was fun hearing you think ! Its so special that you both have allowed us to share in your family's journey. Be safe and healthy .🧐🫶🏻
Did everyone see the rare *white bison* calf born in the Lamar Valley in Yellowstone? Its name is Wakan Gli which means ‘rare sacred’ in Lakota. At a ceremony Chief Arvol Looking Horse, a 19th Generation Keeper of the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe and Bundle, spoke about the first white buffalo born in the wild, which was in Wisconsin in 1994.
The white bison calf has not been seen since the photo was posted. I am skeptical that a professional wildlife photographer just happen to be in the vicinity where this calf was born - coincidental and incredible timing. IMO - it’s a photoshop. I remain hopeful.
I have been watching you from the beginning and it is so nice to see how you have grown your bison herd. Very nice to have Marisas help. I had to laugh when you said you will be in the dog house. God bless you all 🇨🇦
I when I was growing up I wish we had bison instead of cattle. We had a ranch outside of Quapaw Oklahoma. Back in the 70's there was still old buffalo wallers in the pastures.
I admire Marisa working beside you, as it appears that she does, in the small window we are able to see through your videos. She will only continue to learn all the behavioral cues that you watch for in the bison
Hello 👋 Dusty and Marissa, I’ve been studying permaculture for quite a few years and one of the main things I’ve learned is that Mother Nature is modest and doesn’t like to be uncovered. It’s very refreshing to see the way you care for your property and the nature of it. Thanks for sharing, 40 Shades of Green Farm, Jackson Tennessee
Lazy day for the Bison, 😊🦬💜 😂Marisa and you are so Cute, your banter back,and forth is entertaining! Can tell you Love what you're doing!😘💜 Keep Bison Ranchin Dusty and Marisa!🙏🦬🌸💜
Your Bison are trained better than any cow herd I have ever seen. Growing up the Cowboys were always behind driving them to get the cows to go. You just have trained your Bison to follow you like huge puppies. No wonder Big Joe always wants to get in the 4-wheeler😂 with you!
You’re so right! Maybe they need to make up some hand signals that mean stop, go, etc so you don’t have to yell to each other…. It was funny though! Lol
@@dianaseligman7261hey, that’s real life! There might be raised voices from time to time but it’s always done with love, it just doesn’t sound like it sometimes hahaha ♥️🙏🏻🇨🇦
It is a pleasure to watch how you have grown your Bison Ranch. Big herd now! When I started watching you Brook was a baby and you had Dunbar and then you purchased Big Joe and females. Dunbar is more mature now but he is still a hoot! I still remember poor little Lumpy and how you rescued him too.
Hi Dusty, Marissa and Brooks Always something to do on the farm. Moving the bison is a lot of work. Great that you have Marisa to keep you in line 😊 Bison are magnificent and they know how much yall care about them. Bless yall for what you do. God bless and love yall ❤❤
CTB is in my top 5 favorite channels. I love you Marisa and Brooks. BUT Dusty, I have to scold you a bit. My husband and I just celebrated our 53rd wedding anniversary. I STILL can't read his mind. Tell her what you want her to do and don't assume she is reading your mind. 'Nuff said! I love big Joe, he is beautiful!!
The silhouette of Marissa behind you in the vehicle is so pretty. Dusty I bet your sister could make a beautiful photo of you two on your ranch to hang in your building. Next to it hang a pic of Brooks with animals. 👍❤

Where the erosion trails are, couldnt you take like a rototiller and go along the trail? Then spread some rye seed, i e., along to grow and help stop some of the erosion? Also, could you take a wood chipper and crush up some of the downed logs in the erosion areas? I'm a small town girl living in the city. I guess I'm just throwing ideas out there. Some I've heard from cattle ranchers. My dad married into my stepmoms wheat farm. Dad's used his wood chipper to add into the dirt on some of the roads around the farm. His neighbors have used it for their different farms and ranches.
Annual rye is just that: an annual. It comes up, does its thing and dies. There needs to be some native perennials and biennials in the mix to get roots established deep. They will hold the soil and provide feed. When wood rots, the organisms that do the work take up nitrogen generally depriving plants of that nutrient until the organisms are done with their chore and die. If you use wood chips, it may be best to plant some legumes to fix nitrogen in the soil.
Great video. So interesting about the erosion and how hay works to fix that. Love those little knucklehead youth, you guys got them straightened around. 😅
I often see old round bales just sitting in the field. They aren't new but years old. Can you use hay for this that is a year or two old or do you have to use this years hay? OMG, that squeaky gate took me back to Jurassic Park. I love it!
IMPORTANT! Just watched your video with the new, truck mounted feeder...very cool. However, the turkey eggs that you placed into the incubator need to be set "pointed end - IN"; the big end goes toward the outside of the incubator. Reason: Air cell is on the big end.
Interesting video and good explanation regarding the hay and regrowth. You do amazing moving your herds around the pastures. Marissa is a great help and support to your farm, is she growing her flowers along the front again this year? Looked very Pretty last time she did it. Take care and stay safe all of you.🙋🏡🐂🐂🐂
I am so glad you didn’t sell big Joe. We went out west and we seen a bison head in a store and we had to do our pictures with them. I’m gonna try to find them so I can show it to you.
You guys need a better way to communicate when doing these kinds of jobs. Like walky talkers or headphones.. when you start yelling, you can tell that your stress level is rising, which I'm sure affects Marrisa and the bison.
I’m a little behind on your videos. I am trying to get caught up. It’s good to see Hoss and the females so happy out there in Colorado gorgeous gorgeous country too.!!!!
You’re saying “meadow” properly now instead of the way most of us in the South pronounce it. Why? I miss it. It’s like around here in NC, we pronounce window as windah. Just giving ya a hard time, kinda. Bison are looking fabulous!
Love your videos, you explain all the reasons for what you do. Seeing your growth and all your equipment is inspiring. Good luck and wishing you so much success. I am a lover of bison meat, so delicious and healthy, wish I could buy from you. See you on the next video.
If you haven’t given Marissa the tips about how they will “find the opening” without being driven, she might’ve thought she needed to guide them more. It is always amazing to me how men, mostly husbands, see problem as it is happening and get frustrated their helpmate didn’t see the same thing they did. You two work magnificently together and are just pretty normal husband/wife team. You two are very respectful of each other and we all, I am sure speaking for many, love your little family and what you are building together.
We really enjoy watching you round up and drive the young ones and they learn quick. Goose does Awesome and she is Only going to get better by learning thru your Patience and Love. All Glory goes to Father GOD for putting you two together so Love and Enjoy your Time with each other.🥰🙏🙏
I wonder how long of a meeting 🤣 after shutting the gate before we got to see the youngsters going across the creek 🤣🤣 it happens all the time when we work with our wives😂
when we worked Black Angus cattle we called (Herding slow down but hurry up.) Those black angus in the hills can be a real pain to get were you want them especially if it is hot.
