I really enjoy my bison steaks and burgers! Thank goodness for these ranchers who helped me regain my health by going carnivore and dumping processed faux foods.
So great to hear Carrie! Thank you so much for your support!
But are they true bison?
@@susanbozard7906 Yes they would be. The hybrid bison cattle have a lot of miscarriages and that is a huge money waster. Those are bison.

I swear, I don’t know why anyone watches a video on a livestock channel just to complain about the animal. Yes people, Bison were almost wiped out but thanks to ranchers who care about this animal they are able to exist and thrive again. The fact that there are sales and interest in these bison goes to show that their numbers are once again increasing and that’s a great thing for humans and bison!
Couldn’t have said it better Danielle! Thank you!
Yep

@@rigomartinez9810 Qué casualidad, un latino hablando bobadas; como dice el dicho: "la ignorancia es atrevida". Para la llegada de los estadounidenses a cíbola los bisontes, o cíbolos, ya habían incrementado su población a niveles insostenibles, el hecho de que se presentaran en las planicies de a miles quiere decir que no había depredadores que los mantuviese a raya... un fenómeno similar al de las palomas mensajeras y los guanacos, todo antropogénico, ya sea por acción mexica o por acción española, estos animales ya habían sufrido cambios en su ambiente que probablemente cambió su morfología, dado que hay dos especies, aquel de las sabanas y el de bosques (más grande), de este último en introgresión con el gaur se piensa que son los padres de todos los bovinos modernos tipo taurino: uro, banteng, bisonte europeo, etc.
Hahaha true
I'm a truck driver, and I have been noticing over the last 2 or 3 years, little herds poppin up a lot places!
I have seen 2 in cali, I just saw one right off the 70 west of denver, and one on Iowa side outside of omaha... slowly, they are comming back!
That’s really cool to hear!
There's a big ranch north of Pryor, Oklahoma, on US-69. Looks like there may be over 200 buffalo living at that ranch. There are Angus cattle too. The buffalo and angus cows stay in separate herds. Even though both are in connected pastures.
That great! Yes, they do not mingle unless forced.
I been trying to get some is there some near kolona
In Cali! Wow! I remember reading an article of a moose being spotted in Colorado. Was interesting
Bison have just returned to the UK following an absence of thousands of years, thanks to a pioneering scheme to reintroduce these mammals to one of south-east England's largest areas of ancient woodland. All the best from the UK.
That’s awesome! Great to see these animals returning to where they belong.
Salute to everyone who is working to improve the herds of bison and ranching in general. These animals look great!
Thank you Valerie!

Such a beautiful animal 🦬. The 1st time I saw a bison I went on a field trip to Magic Mountain. On the other side of the mountain there was a train ride and there they were! Our teacher gave us a quick history of the bison. Some of us being from the inner city had never seen a bison 🦬 before. I don’t think our local zoo had any back either.
I’m from the city to Julio. The first time I saw this magnificent animal was very similar to yours!
Im Native American and i love it. To see my heritage being preserved fills my heart . A message to the haters you sound like the second coming of the same old cavelry.
Thank you Bobby!
I Agree it's an amazing thing to see the number of bison climbing.
Also I'm part blackfoot 🤙
TOUCHE" sir! Absolutely the truth.
Nothing but a maze of holding pens and gates. It's amazing how they direct those huge beast to go where they want them to go. I noticed they never take there eyes off of the bisons.
It definitely is a dance!
Auctions are necessary for sales of animals but they sure do cause a tremendous amount of stress on the animals. One always hopes the animals get great care and peace in their new homes.
Yes.
I remember several years ago a man had a white buffalo calf born. Ted Turner offered the guy a million dollars for it and he turned it down. His reason had to do with respect for Native Americans' culture about the white buffalo . As the buffalo grew its coat color changed colors and ended up a color only a little lighter than a normal buffalo.
Wow. I would understand his reasoning but it sounds like he missed out.
The Plains Indian legend is that The Maiden, after giving the people teaching on how to live properly, rolled away and changed color 4 times. The final was a white buffalo.
We went to see Miracle a white bison born in Wisconsin. As it was explained to our family, the white buffalo coat goes through color changes the reflect the Native American belief of the Four Colors of Man (White to Yellow to Red to Black) to whom the are to bestow a blessing upon their arrival. We felt seeing her was quite a blessing for us. She was a magestic creature and quite social.
@@debrafisher2556
We went to see her too. She wasn’t available at the time so I left a pouch of tobacco and a lock of my hair. Tied it to a tree in her pasture with 4 ribbons of red, yellow, black,and white.
That’s amazing!
To all those running the gates..you are all AMAZING. Thanks for sharing this video..take care
Sure are!
The white one is beautiful. There are so many of them here! Wow!
I think so too! Yes it was a big auction!
I read somewhere that the White Buffalo had some special meaning to Native Americans, I can ONLY surmise such meaning had to do with the rarity of true Albino Buffalo, just wish I could remember the meaning, my Old Age is showing, loved the Video!!
Represents the Maiden who taught the People The Way. When she left them, she promised to return. As she rolled away she turned four colors - black, red, yellow and then white.
I suggest the short story by Barry Lopez entitled "The White Buffalo" . It gave me chills when I discovered Lopez in my late teens. I am 68 now and still amazed by his words.

This sure brings back memories of home in my under 30 years. My brothers both run farms with a variety of animals on them. They have had Bison too. My sister had a cattle ranch. Those were good days. Makes me miss the life. It was a good one. I sure enjoy these channels. Warms my heart and puts a smile on my face. Thanks for sharing this video. It's so good to see my former home again. A former Kansas Border/ Okie girl.😁

So good to hear Michelle! Thank you for sharing!
@@BrokenArrowBison You're welcome Broken Arrow. I know your part of OK well. Miss it. Mostly miss the people!! 💜Grandma Michelle
Wow. That was quite an auction! All the work in the back moving the bison was amazing! Thanks for sharing this, Noah.
Glad you enjoyed it Donna!
@@BrokenArrowBison Noah my dad wants to know if we'll get a new video out on Friday or Sunday?
Today!
Awesome behind the scenes video. Brought back great memories of you and Dusty at this auction when you bought your first bison. Thank you for this.
Thank you! It sure did!
Humans killed them off and now we cage them for profit. Yeah, humans are so great to bring them back….😢
I seen the first and only true white Buffalo. it was supposed to be a sign to bring all peoples together. Like world peace. I took care of the white Buffalo at the woodland zoo in Farmington pa. I was there the day he was born. His name is kenahoken (spelling is wrong). The Lenape tribe named it. That was the local tribe to our area. Thousands of native americans came from all across North America. It was a true honor to be part of the everyone coming together.
We've had a natural white calf born just outside of Lethbridge, Alberta. And yes, the local tribe comes to bless the event as a sign of peace to come. and then they name it.
That is amazing!
That’s not the first nor the only albino bison idk who tf told u that, white cloud was born in 1996 we had her in ND she died in 2016 and had a white calf still living; like any other animal, albinism occurs naturally as a mutation albeit more rarely depending on genetics
I remember going to an auction near San Angelo, Texas with my great grandaddy Ed and my grandfather Ray. I was probably about 8 years old, and all about the animals and ranch life (some things never change), begging to go with. Didn't hurt that Both those sweet men adored the little girl I was back then. I saw a group of 4-5 white buffalo there. My remembrance is that they were second generation from bison crossed with Charolaise. Or maybe it was another "fancy-sounding" breed. I was just a kid, but breeding small animals was already in my wheelhouse, with dreams of breeding horses and cattle, so I soaked up knowledge on the subject like a sponge. After the auction, we all went to visit a nearby client of Grandaddy Ed's (a Scurry County veterinarian) who had bison and sheep outside of town. They had a bottle baby bison calf at the time and I think I had a shot of taking it home with me, just for a moment there. Momma would'a had a cow! ;)
New sub here. Loving your content so far.
Such a cool story! Thanks for sharing! Yes the bison/beef Charlotte has been a thing for a while in order to get that white color. I believe that’s what this animal was. Thanks for joining us!
Nice story!
They would have been crossed with Charolais, and they were the only Continental breed (Fullblood) in Mexico at the time. Due to Europe not having Brucellosis under control, it wasn't until 1968 in Canada that European breeds were allowed ot be imported, and I think 1970 for the USA.
Beautiful! The only place I have ever seen bison was in Yellowstone National Pack 40 years ago. This is great to see that their population has increased so much.
There is a white Buffalo that lives about 30 minutes from me. Breaks my heart every time I see him/her. They have it in a small pen and is the only bison they have. The rest are different types of cattle.
Thank you for this video. Wow those bulls are beautiful and huge. 💕
Yes they do need more animals with them. Typically a minimum of three works well. Thank you!
Sad. Herd animals should not be alone.
Noah, glad you filmed from above showing the sorting of the Bison. They seem to have everything down to a science. Glad the railing held that one crazy Bison, trying to attack that man. It was interesting hearing about the one unusual white Bison also.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Crazy seeing mokan. I live in Massachusets now but my family farm used to be there. Great seeing this video. A lot of fun memories!
That’s really cool!
You know, Natives have a legend about the White Buffalo....
Yes they sure do!
Take it to the black hills, kill it, share the meat.
Now I need to know. Please tell.
It's like Jesus coming back for Christians.. it was supposed to be a sign to bring all peoples together. Like world peace. I took care of the first and only true white Buffalo ever at the woodland zoo in Farmington pa. I was there the day he was born. His name is kenahoken (spelling is wrong). The Lenape tribe named it. That was the local tribe to our area.
My grandmother you should tell me stories about the white buffalo. It was amazing stories
She's beautiful! I'm hoping that pretty girl has a nice home with whoever bought her
Hopefully so! Not sure who bought her.
*Wow, what an auction! The behind-the-scenes effort in handling the bison was truly impressive. Thanks for sharing this, Noah!*
Thank you for the amazing experience. Some beautiful animals there.
Glad you enjoyed it Julie!
He looks adorable
God bless ❤❤
You too Debra!
This looks just like the auction building I went to on Thursdays cattle sale growing up, always had to walk the overlook of the stalls in the back as well :)
That’s great!
Wow!! What an Experience!! Those guys working Those Bison are awesome!! I assume next Episode you'll let us know if you purchased any!! God Bless and have a Wonderful Week!!😀⚘❤
So much fun! Well, spoiler alert, I did not. 😕
Thanks ... Interesting!
You’re welcome Bill!
What a nice action barn. Well setup and coveered. I enjoy seeing well setup corals.
Me too!
WOW! Thanks for showing this video with us! Very Interesting!! 🤗♥️🙏🏼
Glad you enjoyed it Kim!
I love the cat walks, and organized gate system. Having this much organized chaos is way better for the animals and works with their instincts.
Yes it’s a nice facility!
If it were an Albinoi it would likely have pink eyeballs. Myself I would not want mix breed Bison/Cattle. You should have an idea of the Bisons that you want, that would come with experience. I would be more interested in size, coloration, and ease of handling them rather than shooting for a price. Buying from an individual rather than an auction you can get a lot more information from the Rancher on the history of the animals heritage.
Absolutely right Terry. 👍🏻
Are you trying to imply a white bison is a cattle mix? White bison have been legends in Aboriginal cultures for centuries. Long before white-boys starting cross breeding cattle with bison.
@@gingerbaker4579 White boys ?
No I never said that. Most white Buffalo today are interbreed, not all. True White Buffalo are very rare.
@@BrokenArrowBison All Buffalo, with the Yellowstone Bison being being the exception, have cattle blood. Ted Turner is the only person who has pure bison, which he bought from the National park service. My info is several years old so maybe others acquired Yellowstone purebreds.
Thank you for sharing this.
The whiteone is gorgeous.
Love the title, Broken Arrow Bison 🦬
Glad you enjoyed it!
This animal is so beautiful it should live just to be admire 🥺 💛
Thanks for the video! I had not seen a white bison.
Glad you enjoyed it Karen!!
Thanks for sharing Noah. The white one was different not like the others in temperment it seemed to me. Be safe and God Bless
She seemed to be a calm animal. Glad you enjoyed it!
@@BrokenArrowBison I did very much enjoy it. Made me smile alot. I love learning new things. Thanks hon.
It's probably due to having cattle genetics in her
@@jtschwinghammer Thank you
I love the video
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for sharing Noah
Thanks so much for watching Rodney!
The handling system is amazing!
It is very elaborate!
It’s your typical sale barn it’s not all that complicated just common sense
We enjoyed your video Noah!!! Really good looking Bison!!
Thank you so much!
Noah that's a big sale barn!!!
Sure is!
Noah, thank you for taking us along!
Glad you enjoyed it and Cheryl!
Saw Doc Parsons got one.
Sure did!
Great video. I love a good auction
Thank you! You too!
That was amazing to watch!
So glad you enjoyed it!
Good staffing and care for the bison.
That was cool!!! 😎 Thank you so much for posting this!!! ✨😁💫 Have a spectacular weekend!!!
Glad you enjoyed it! You too!
Great respect for the guys handling the gates, I would have to change my 👖 every 10 minutes
They did a great job!
Because you are not a MAN.
We have some white buffalos back when we had a buffalo farm! Great times
What a beauty 🤗🥰
YES SHE IS MAGNIFICENT!!!!!
😁👍🏻
I had a vision of the white buffalo back in Early 90s it will come to pass everything been told of by the white buffalo!!!
Great behind the seens video. Some nice looking bulls up for auction.
Glad you enjoyed it! Yes some of those were really nice animals!
wow those gate keepers great job well done,very professional
😁👍🏻
That was a beautiful white bison
I love watching hing these majestic animals.
Me too!
This job would sure get the adrenaline going. Have to be on your toes all the time! Beautiful Bison.
You are sure right!
I really like the catwalk idea. Much safer for folks to view the stock.
It is the best way of doing it.
White bison! I remember a movie long ago about American Indians and a white bison. Even when isn't pure is beautiful, it doesn't matter its mixing.
Yes it was pretty.
Buffalo are the most beautiful exquisite beasts on earth & I sure would love to be able to have some. I'm in Ohio but I bought some land out West and planned to keep buffalo & wild horses then C19 hit and ruined everything.. lost my business and my land so I guess it wasn't meant to be for now but I sure do enjoy watching them so thank you for showing this! The white one sure was a beauty even if she is a cross! I'm hearing impaired so I couldn't hear/understand the Auctioneer but how much did the white one sell for? The closed captions just completely shut down on the auctioneer 😄 That very last bull would have been my pick!
Sorry to hear your mishaps. Keep the dream alive though! I think she went for summer around $4000 or a little under maybe. Thanks so much for watching!
dang that is very hard to hear man.
Nice white buffalo
LOVE THIS WITH ALL MY HEART
Glad you enjoyed it Jonathan!
How Beautiful,
Healing to the touch
😁
Awesome insight,what a way to spend the day!
😁
I think it’s good to have the white bison in captivity because it’s colors could camouflage but only in snowy seasons and bison live in places were it doesn’t snow all the time so it’s good to have the white bison in captivity so it doesn’t get killed
They survive perfectly fine in the wild.
That white buffalo is beautiful.
Complicated system to move bison towards auction room and return as well. It's impressive and Inspired
Absolutely!
What a beautiful bison.
I think so too.
We have one in WI about 5 miles from me off Lake Michigan. She is gorgeous...
That’s so cool!
@@BrokenArrowBison She is kind of an Eleanor personality. Very meek.
Beautiful cute 🥰
Great video!
Thank you Sean!
That was fascinating to watch. How incredibly dangerous it all links for the handlers.
👌 Awesome upload 👍
Thank you Perry!
These humans moving these bison are amazing. Big job where mistakes are costly.
😁🦬
Was the last auction in MO on the 19th? This was a great podcast. Thank You
Yes it was. Thank you!
I’ve been too quite a few auctions! But this dude would make me spend over $5k 🤣 I can’t understand his cadence at allll 🤣💀💀
Noah enjoyed your video. Wow a white bison. How beautiful she was. How much did she sell for??? Trying to understand auction talk has always been difficult. They talk so fast. I really love this video. I use to go to cattle auctions at Eldorado, Kansas as a kid. I enjoyed going and seeing at the cows, calves& bulls come through the gate and try to get out. That bull at the end was mad he was scraping his hooves in the dirt. Good job.
Glad you enjoyed it Diana! I believe she sold for close to $4000. Yes they can be confusing sometimes! LOL
Diana Cox, Wow! I haven't heard about Eldorado in forever. I was born in a tiny town called Potwin near Eldorado. I learned to roller skate and swim as a young child on Eldorado. Lots of great memories there. I had Grandparents in Eureka. Thanks for the memories from long, long ago.🌞🌻

@@michelleshaw1211 I use to live in Douglass, Kansas well first out east did you ever hear of a little pitstop corner called Smileyberg, Kansas??? I lived just 1 mile north and first house back west. Use to be a car garage and filling station, bait shop and few houses around. Lived there 48 years then moved to Douglass 2010 till I got sick in 2018 now I am in Wichita. We lived on the road that went straight into ElDorado. It was haverhill road. I had family in ElDorado and also Potwin. My cousin married a fella who worked in that pipeline company on Ravenhill and 242 was it. Alot of memories for me too. Glad I could share some for you. Thanks for replying.
There is a beautiful song about the white Buffalo ❤
Привет, я из России, из Сибири, обожаю бизонов! Это моя мечта.😍😘🤗
Robert Pickering wrote an interesting book on the white buffalo, likely out of print now.
I’ll have to look it up.
Beautiful white buffalo 🦬
Sure is!
Last time I saw a for real, albino bison was White Cloud in Chamberlain N.D. Years ago.
That’s awesome!
Back in the 90s I had a vision of the white buffalo and what been told to do is warn everyone who are native people to go back to your beliefs and do what you supposed to do store up your food and clothing and foot wear and help each other in every way you can,,
That last one had an attitude lol
That beast is beautiful🤩!
Absolutely!
Increíble como an Recuperado la cría de Bisontes Genial videos gracias bendiciones exitos
White buffalo is amazing Very Rare to see and own.
Incrível. Parabens pelo trabalho de criação e preservação. Um grande abraço meu amigo. Brasil
White Buffalo is pretty. Can't beleive its bring auctioned off. Aren't they a good sign ? Hope it will be happy where ever it goes home with.
Just remember these animals are big and even a tame cow or steer when scared, could kill you. I was pinned to a wall by my steer
Absolutely!
Hi im Arthur Morgan welcome back to fact or cap
I want to start up a bison sanctuary someday.
The white bison are sacred to the Lakota Sioux. Thats where they belong, not being terrified and handled rough in an auction.
That looked like the pen stress test of all pen stress tests ! 👍
You got that right!
I wonder if later in life Auctioneers develop mouth issues. My jaw would be locked up for two weeks. I am constantly amazed how they move so many bison through those bison gates. When they focus on one bison they can steer them in the direction they want to go. Was that one bison towards the end were they about ready to charge the fence? I imagine that mixed breed white bison did not bid as high as the pure breed bison?
Yes it is a marvel of getting everything to work just great! Yes he actually did charge the fence he hit it pretty hard you could hear in the video though. She sold for somewhere around $4000 just because people think it’s a novelty just to have a white buffalo. Even if she’s not pure breed.
@@BrokenArrowBison *Purebred
I saw white bision at Yellowstone giftshop in the back beening Born . My son Alton was five yr old. They had the big then.bdm UNLV msjc 2022.
That’s very cool!
Great channel I subbed
Thank you!!
‼️SACRED‼️ 😪💔
Problay one of the most dangerous work environments. Handling Bison im sure somewhat different than cattle. It's certainly looks like it is being done as humane as possible. The white Bison so beautiful a spiritual animal to the Native Americans.
It is definitely a challenge. 😁
