Called The Vet and The Only Option Is To... 

You talking about the ear tags reminded me of a while back, my friend was driving by a field of cows and her little boy in the back said "Those cows are brand new." When she asked him why he thought they were new he said "Because they still have the tags on them"

Keep baby wipes in the truck. That way you have something to clean your hands with.

I find your land preservation and management priorities admirable. Most would just build a herd without taking the land into consideration. You guys are stellar ranchers!!!

Had the opportunity to visit Kankakee Sands in northwest Indiana. They have a herd of 90 bison on 1100 acres. What a experience to see these majestic animals

Dusty. I'm at Custer State Park now. The herd off buffalo used our vehicle as a salt lick. It was magical. I've been watching your channel since the start. I knew to enjoy , respect them and keep the windows and doors shut. I appreciate what you do. They are huge.

Big Joe is my favorite. He looks so sweet even with his size. I loved the one video when he came up to your window of the truck and let you pet him and talk to him. ❤

A suggestion I heard from the Canadians at the NBA conference for tagging is to paint ball the momma with the calf with the same paint color to keep track of whose with who during working and tagging. Easier to keep track of genetics

I don't have any advice, but I would donate toward purchasing more land.

My Great Great Great Grandmother was truly Belle Srarr on my Mother's side.

Explaining why Hoss went to the Big Joe herd makes a lot of sense giving Dumbar time to get his weight up. It looks like hoss has settled in nicely. Talking about future moves sounds exciting, challenging & considering cost. We really enjoy watching you & Marissa’s working with the Bison. Thanks.

Come on Companies and people! Isn't there a respectable company out there that can get them a really good squeeze shoot that is heavy duty enough with everything they need to take care of this guy and his animals. Yes, I'm saying he is a Very, very good Rancher and really cares about his animals and takes the best care of them. It would be great to see him get something like this. His wife us no slouch either she also helps. Give them some much needed help. They never ask for help. Good hard working people. When though they never ask for help they really do deserve this. From a farmer and ranchers daughter who was not afraid to help my dad growing up. My daddy farming and taking care of his cattle in heaven now. Take care.

I often share your videos with my students. They love them. I can use them for writting prompts, comprehension, history, science...We all love it..Keep it up.

Best looking CEO anywhere, and what a ranch hand she is. Truly appreciate what the 2 of you are doing, raising American bison.

What about using herbs like sweet wormwood, garlic in the food to get rid of parasites. Much cheaper than darts.

Dusty, you and Maria need to figure out a way to create a kind of cube that has a wormer included. The bison are always so willing to eat the regular cubes you give them it would be a cinch to get them to eat the ones with wormer if they taste similar... No need to run them through the chute or to dart them. 😊

You and Marissa have a lot of work ahead of you. The first female calf you should name her Sunshine.

Loving this Dusty and Marissa. That Hoss guy just cracks me up!

More babies are coming soon❤

I learn new things with each video.😊

Love your videos and enjoy watching them. May the lord bless and protect you and your family and the bison and other animals. I feel like your doing a great job

Hi Dusty and Marisa 😊😊

Can't thank you enough for your explaining it makes sense Baker family glad to see Marissa working beside you Dusty and getting to know your bison

I'd keep Dunbar on the ponderosa and move big Joe to new land. Because Dunbar has more of a personality than Big Joe. I know it's work to take care of all these animals. I love watching the bisons each one has their own personality. The calves are so cute. I would love to pet one and hold it, mommy won't let you do either. But to touch them like you do is so great. I like how you get to be around them and to know them. Keep up the good work on these bisons. God bless you.

Will Hoss ever have his own group of females? I like Joe and Dunbar,but Hoss is my favorite bull! I also love many of the females. Love watching the red dogs! Also amazed at what wonderful mothers bison are. May you and your family have blessed 2024!

I'm interested in seeing the Bull Calf "Legs" mature. I know nothing about Bison but if I had to guess he's going to be much a stud.

Hey dusty and marissa.hope everything goes well.with the darts ❤

The herd is looking great! I am asking God to guide to just the right land, at just the right time and just the right price. You and Marisa are good responsible ranchers. Proud of y’all.

I grew up on a beef cow/hog farm. Necessity was always the mother of invention on a daily basis. If you have a ball hitch, you need something tough with a chain attached to it that would be big enough to sit that big mineral block on it. You could just throw that chain over the ball hitch and then drag that big block to where you want it, and roll it off again. I hope you can find your darts.

I was hopeful of the leased land and high voltage electric fence would work for you. Prayers of blessing to your family! 😊

You and Marissa have your hands full, but work so great together! That head scratching on the mirror cracked me up.

You and the wife make a great team. Love to watch ⌚️

I sure hope you are able to get enough syringes. You guys are right on top of what your bison need! Good luck finding new property close that fit your needs! (I'm in Mississippi, so I'm of no help there.)

ALWAYS Awesome THANKS for Doing what you DO GOD Bless!!!!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Watching this from Canada makes me laugh. What would you do if you had real winter? Your winter is what we have in late fall.

DUSTY and Marissa ,great video. Hope you are able to find the syringes you need for the bisons. Would like to start a fund raiser for you, where you're viewers could send money to you for buying land, just a idea to think on. Good luck with the bisons ranching. David, Utah. ❤❤❤.

Cool names too.

Love your dedication to the welfare of your Bison kids. We think you all are amazing. ❤👍🪶

Hello Dusty and Marisa It’s a great thing that you have the dart gun! That was a good investment.. Blessings ❤ ~Linda

usty, I just read a ton positive, upbeat, and loving comments from your subscribers. It was awesome. And it occurred to me I cannot see any link to a Patreon account. I think, if given the opportunity, you will have enormous success with Patreon. I've purchased two different products from you but I don't eat that much, more of a treat. I currently have an ongoing contribution (monthly withdrawal) go to a patreon account because I value the creator. If all the folks that had such heartfelt messages of support expressed here supported you through a Patreon account I truly believe you would end up purchasing and not leasing.

Thank you for all explanations

Love the calf with the white leggs.

Where's the link you promised for the video on you land management session with Ethan at the NRCS office? 💖🌞🌵😷

Suggestion solar powered circulation pump keep water from being stagnant and worm free. That piece of 200 lbs. Whatever put o-ring in it an hook by chain to trailer hitch on truck.

The thought of selling them to be for a trophy hunt would crush me😢. I'm so happy you love them so much to make another herd.

Hello Dusty and Marisa. Love all the Bison's but I have my favorites Eleanor, Big Joe, Dunbar and Hoss

Good luck finding new land for Dunbar. GOD bless y'all.

Can you rent or purchase from any neighbors nearby? Are there any elderly neighbors that have fallow property that needs working? Are any neighbors moving to another location or town and putting their original up for sale or rent? Does your city or county have property for sale or rent? Chase down owners of abandoned or fallow property and purchase or rent it. Can you coop or co-share with someone’s property for a share of meat produce from you or some other service or products?? Really excited to see Dunbar have his own herd❤❤❤ How is Princess Eleanor doing these cold wintry days-would love to see her❤❤❤God Bless your endeavors ❤❤❤

Thanks, go for it Dusty. ✌🏻👊🏼

Good video. Informative . Not repetitive

Another idea-my parents had a bunch of acreage in VA. The grass and fields grew very wild so we let the neighbors keep their goats on our land to keep the weeds down which kept the rodents down. The goat owners took care of the fences and groomed the area so we didn’t charge them anything. So look around and see if you see and wild and woolly fields, the owners may want and need something to eat all that grass!!

Marissa and Dusty, the progress y'all have made is marvelous. Love your animals.

I'm glad the snow and cold weather is gone and your getting rain.were under flood watches in Georgia

Dusty you may want to try to get ahold of Storla Station in S.Dakota, it’s owned partially by Sonne Farms. They usually have pretty good stock of supplies.

Dusty, good video. I want to thank you for preserving our heritage through the Bison. Means a lot to me . I am native Cherokee and Irish and love Bison. Most magnificent animal God ever created! I have followed you ever since you moved to this acreage from your small one. I loved listening to you and your dreams about have a lot of Bison and making sure the herds would grow and that there would always be Bison here in Oklahoma. Love you and Marissa and your Bison! Blessings from OKC.

Great update 👍 👏 😊 tk❤

I really like that you named your Bison.. can you hug them? Especially when the moms have their babies. I also really like to hear about Dunbar and Big Joe.

Sounds like a good plan to me....More land is always a good thing....Thanks Dusty and Marissa ❣ 👍 Old F-4 2 Shoe🇺🇸

You could try to talk Daniel and Dejay into becoming Bison Farmers!😊😂😂😂😊 Take care,stay safe and God Bless!!!❤😊

I am so glad that you explain everything on your channel!!! it makes it enjoyable to watch😊

Anyone else having trouble with notifications? I just happened across this video and I'm glad I did because it was set at for me not to get any notifications, I just watched one the other day and everything was fine 😮

Love watching your videos. So informative and you do so much. God bless you always

I remember that.

Start making a wormer block for bison made with garlic, green blackwalnut hull, and southern wormwood. Iit could be left out with other mineral blocks for a limited time. 2 or 3 daysas a trial

Dusty, you and Marissa are doing awesome things! I love your videos!!! Not a farmer, just an animal lover!

Prayers and love for Belle Star for healthy birth of red dog!

Thank you again Dusty, Marisa and Brook for all you do God Bless you all 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Amazing how you remember each heifer by name or number. 👍🏻

Nice video Dusty your Bison are looking good and eating good

Think we need a tour of the new GM product

Good evening from Syracuse NY everyone thank you for sharing your adventures and your herds

Can't you get the tubs with wormer in them?

Thank you for Explaining leg

Im so happy and relieved❤❤❤ you are keeping Big Joe and Dunbar. I find it completely amazingly how you can walk in the same area with the with these gorgeous animals. Thank you so very much for teaching us about the buffaloes. I will always be watchingnyour channels to see the development of your sites ❤❤❤❤❤❤

The females tag should have been on the right…. We’re ALWAYS RIGHT 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🥳

You guys have come So So far from the first I've been a fan from the first. KEEP UP THE AMAZING JOB OF KEEPING BISON GROWING . ,👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Some people can be so cruel with their comments! I feel ad for the calf but feel worse for you and your family! My son vfust called me a few hours ago crying because hie beloved cat Lucky passed away during the night from who knows why he was a big beautiful house cat that wanted for nothing and my son loved him deeply.. as Mark said Life is so cruel.just a cat to some but a best buddy to Mark. Sorry for your loss and God Bless you and yours!

You are so right that you have to stay on top of your numbers and keep up with the proper rotation in order to take of the pastures. There is a lot of paperwork that has to be done to track all the different things that go into keeping healthy stock and land. It's not just putting the animals out and letting them graze.

Praying for Belle Star!🙏🙏🙏🦬🙏🙏🙏🦬

I remember that to manage the land the way you want you will need to get some of the current heard to another peice of land. Hoping you will find what you need at a price you can afford🤞

Love your video. Like watching Dusty and Marissa work together, strategize on the herd. Hope you are able to find more land but with economy/world this year, IMO, I'd be careful because I think next few months are going to be tough.

Most ppl do keep their heard bulls. Problem lies in when you start to keep any daughters. The goal is to alqays improve on anything your breeding. That alone has 50 catigories. You have 2 heards so its going to take u a little longer and your just starting out. I hate to see a great bull go for meat. So what we use to do when it came time is to do a null swap till they were about 15 to 18 then retire them. You have to keep good records and carefull keeping to keep good strong lines. Youll get there, and u have great mentors to help u

Bell Star is a beautiful bison hefer. Hope she has a healthy baby this year.

Also helps to have the calves early and wean them in the fall. This helps not to bring moms down especially on a hard year. The more their pulled down the more chance the parasites have a chance of taking over. The weaned calves between7 and 10 months really do well transitioning if u get them settled well before full winter hits

I love watching the bison. Make more video’s plz. I love learning about them.

😊yall Do such a wonderful job taking care of your Bison n Thank You for Sharing videos n information I think its interesting.

I so love watching your videos how you care about the bison and take care of them from WV

Maybe could try looking around different states near Oklahoma to see if there’s any rich people with big houses who want to star at Bison in their front or back yard. 😂😂😂😂😂

Bless Bell Star. Prayers fir a good birth this time.

Still love your videos like this one the best,off the cuff,peace to you folks…

I too think Haus does need his own ladies. They're very majestic animals A lot of knowledge your sharing. Thank you

I remember THAT video! That was a happy but sad day. Hope all goes well🙏🏻✌️💪❤️ From Denver area..

Enjoy watching your videos & how you explain what you're looking at & thinking about. Stay warm!

First time viewer....I love the way you talk about your animals...🇺🇲🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✌️

Do you have an eye on land to buy? How many acres do you need? Hope you find enough darts.

You're back and I look forward to your videos every day. I consider it a meal

It just seems like the other day you had only six bison. Now that you have the Ponderosa, you have so many bison I can't count them. I love seeing the red dogs and look forward to more in the Spring.

Appreciate the video, Dusty, always entertaining and educational!

Even i.f you do find lease or purchase land and establish a new herd, is there enough of Dusty to manage another herd. To do the job right the way you do, it takes lots of time. Whatever you choose I know that my husband will be behind you and Marissa every step of the way. Best of luck.

❤😊 fantastic video Dusty!

I’m from South Dakota
