เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 29 ม.ค. 2023
We are a veteran-owned startup bison ranch in Aitkin County, Minnesota. We love bison! And we want to share ours with you!
We are new to bison ranching so keep that in mind when watching our day-to-day activities as we manage these amazing animals. We will definitely make mistakes! But, hopefully we will learn from them along the way.
Our plan is to expand slowly; adding a few new animals each year. And by doing so we hope to expand upon our knowledge and experience as well as our ability to share those experiences with others.
So enjoy our videos! Watch them, share them and please feel free to leave us a comment!

❤🎉😂 Lol Thor is to Bison what Tex is to Lester's Longhorns..🤣😂🤣😆 Omg he's SO funny !! Thanks for sharing very enjoyable to see lol. 😆🦬❤️🇺🇲
Thor certainly had an attitude! Lol. Always things to repair. Have a nice Thanksgiving 🦃
Oh my gosh. Thor the destructor. Thor is very bossy with his food. Does not like to share. They are happy chewing the cud. Thank you for sharing. Thoughts and Prayers. Love and Blessings. Doris, Penrith 🇦🇺🦘
That's a whole new level of hangry. Thanks for sharing!
Thor was a bit hangry it appears.
I think you're right, he sure was hogging all the food after his little tantrum! Lol! Thank you for watching! :-)
Thor is being a brat and a bully. I noticed the lose wire in the fence. The feeder probably got caught on it with all the pushing around Thor was doing. Have a good Thanksgiving.
Mostly brat, I'd say...at least today! Lol. Have a great Thanksgiving! Thank you! :-)
Great video thanks for sharing my friend
You're very welcome!!! 👍👍👍
He’s an incredible beast!!!
Thank you! :-)
@ thank you for having him!!
HIM SAYS THE GRASS IS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE.... LMBO.
And probably right!! Lol!!
Thank you for your great bison videos! Looks like a great life up north! Relaxing to watch during these crazy times!
You're welcome! We are very happy you are enjoying them. Yes, very relaxing!! :-)
Thor looks like he says "this trough is empty, dad".
He sure does let us know! Lol
I'd have to have socks with my sandals at 36°.
Lol!! Apparently it doesn't bother her, but my feet were cold even inside my boots!
O.M.G. South Florida here! At 70° we're getting out the space heaters!! 🥶
70° right now would be nice! Lol!!!
36 degrees is nothing for Minnesota, you shouldn't complain.
Lol, true. 36 BELOW zero is right around the corner! Then I'll complain. Haha!
Happy Sunday !!! 🌹🌹🌹🌹
@@bohammarberg4072 to you as well! :-)
Always great to see your videos. Thor is such a character and has to show off for the camera.
@@pennyentringer3557 he sure does! It's hilarious! Thank you for watching! :-)
Awesome video as usual. I wear sandals in winder as well. They are the comfiest. Thank you for sharing. Thoughts and Prayers. Love and Blessings. Doris, Penrith 🇦🇺🦘
Thank you! I don't know how Kim does it, my toes were cold even in my boots!! Lol.
@@blackaxeranch 🤗
Sandals?? You are a much tougher Minnesotan than I am! Thanks for sharing!
Lol! Won't be sandal weather much longer!!
Has your Bull bread any of the cows yet or are they old enough?
Just old enough, barely. We think one might be pregnant. Guess we will know come Spring! Lol.
Great video thanks for sharing my friend
You're welcome! As always, thank you for watching! :-)
Now you guaranteed that you will have to redo that fence in about 10 years. PLUS you gave up the $2000-3000 timber value. A TREE IS NOT A POST. You screwed yourself..
@@jeffery19677 thanks for your concern, but I think we have a pretty good handle on what we're doing.
Would it be possible to have a tap fitting on the bottom of that watertroof on the inside of that fence
That's the plan one of these days, but a project like that will have to wait until next year after the winter. Maybe not quite out to the fence itself, but we are considering running a waterline from our house out to the garage. Then, when we want to fill the water, it's only a short distance to the water tank with a hose. For now, hauling water buckets will work (and it gives me the exercise, lol) but we will definitely need to do that eventually because as the herd gets bigger, they will need a larger water tank and there isn't enough time in the day to keep a bigger tank filled with buckets, alone, lol!
@blackaxeranch That tap is for emptying the watertrof. For filling that watertrof, you could try fitting a levelling system with a float. Like the inside of a dunny system, Google dunny
Hello, everyone from the Sunshine Coast at Maroochydore Queensland Australia 🇦🇺
@@JasonSwadling-hw8cw hello back from Minnesota! Welcome to our channel! :-)
Thor having fun😂
@@cherylepeikert723 he sure was! He seemed to be enjoying himself!! Lol
I knows it's a little bit late for this idea but we used to use pond pumps to empty the water tanks. Of course you have to have a long enough extension cord and a good length of the pond tubing as well. You simply put the pump into the tank with the pond tubing hooked up to its outlet, then run the tubing to a good place for it to put the water outside of the pen, then plug in the pump and let it do its job. When the water is so low the pump can't pump anymore out unplug the pump and it's tubing. Then dump the remaining out so you can get the muck out of its bottom. We put our water troughs on top of 4x4 pieces so it was easier to tip them over to clean. (As long as there was enough (clean) water in the trough the animals couldn't tip it over.) Anyways, once clean, upright it and fill with clean water. The pumping allows you to not dump most of the water into the pen and water trees or such whole keeping pen relatively dry compared to dumping it all out into the pen or on the ground directly outside of the pen. I explain too much , I know but I was taught to write so the reader can picture what you're trying to convey in their mind. Anyways as I said to late for this season but maybe a project to chew on for next year. 😊
Definitely should add something like that to the wish list. Although I don't mind using a bucket to get the water out, lol, a pump would work a lot better. Especially when we continue to get bigger and upgrade to bigger water tanks. Then I don't think the bucket will be quite as effective, lol. Thank you for watching! :-) And as a sidenote, we definitely don't mind nice long comments! Thank you!
Thor is gorgeous!..🦬
@@cindaanderson8655 Thank you!!!
👍👍👍
Good morning !! 🌹🌹🌹🌹
Morning! :-)
The bison have a fear of missing out and they have to know what's going on all the time. lol
They sure do like to be where the action is! Lol!
Thor is one handsome Bison. He is going to have beautiful babies/reddogs. I love his spirit/soul. We have not late Spring/early Summer. The heat has started here in Penrith, Australia. We had 35°C = 95°F. today they say it is going to be 30°C = 86°F. Thank you for sharing. Thoughts and Prayers. Love and Blessings. Doris, Penrith 🇦🇺🦘
Yeah we are definitely done with temperatures like that for awhile! And we can't wait for reddogs! I still think Ruby is pregnant but its hard to tell without an actual test. Have a good rest of the day! :-)
@@blackaxeranch 🤗
Entertaining and informative video! That's my brother. Not Thor. The human walking and talking. Michael is down there hunting today, luckily far away from you and the bison. Probably snoring in the deer stand. So you're safe.
@@Kayyouhu77 lol!! Glad you told me, I feel safer already! :-)
Great video thanks for sharing my friend
You're welcome!!! 👍👍👍
Finally turning cold in MN and feels good. Hey, they just don't want to miss out on anything that's why they're always around. 😆 Thanks for sharing!
It actually DOES feel good! Lol. That's right, they sure do love being in the middle of things! Lol. Thanks for watching!
Dang I missed it. Happy National Bison Day three days late! That shed is looking good.
Better late than never! Lol! Thank you! :-) Thank you for watching!!!
Halloween snow in Minnesota. I thought you had two feed troughs. The last video you only put food in one, that I saw. It's a gradual change over from sandals to close toed shoes, shorts to long pants in the north.
@@pennyentringer3557 not the first Halloween snow we've seen, for sure! We do have 2 feed troughs, I think the way I edited made it look like using only one. Definitely still have the two, lol! Although if Thor keeps beating on them, might be back down to only one again. He broke a side brace off the older feeder! Sigh....
@@blackaxeranch I knew you had two and hadn't seen both in a while. One problem with messages like this is that you can't hear word emphasis and tone of voice. Love your videos. Apparently, there was more moisture in this snow than there was in the 1991 snow.
@ it sure seemed like there was a lot of moisture for the amount of snow we got! Lol
Thank you for sharing.
