It's a hard decision you have to make on the Texas Cow. If you don't process her she's a drain on your resources. At the same time, the fact that she's fought to stay alive and managed to get up 3 times after laying down shows her determination to get well and live. A very hard call that all Ranchers have to make from time to time. I don't envy you having to make this decision. Wishing you all the best.
Poor Dunbar! I pray his eye heals completely! I feel so bad for him. I love Dunbar! He's always been my favorite Bull and Eleanor my Princess! Love those 2.... Thanks Dusty. Sorry times are so hard for you! Prayers for ya'll... God Bless. 🙏🙏❤❤🇺🇸🇺🇸
Hand feeding Dunbar was so thrilling to see!🤩💜🤩 Praying for your water concerns!🙏🙏🙏
Praying for full recovery for Dunbar, for plentiful water and the best thing for TX cow. Prayers for all! Much love to all! ❤
Glad to see Dunbar improving 😊 Hope you folks have gotten some rain.
I am so glad you did what was right for Dunbar. When the expert vet tells you to do something, you do it for their health. Don't let anyone on the internet affect how you care for your bison. Look at how Dunbar loves you. Wow, that is a BIG litter of puppies! I counted 10! Ranching sometimes is tough and your viewers need to know that.
I absolutely LOVE your LOVE for your American Bison, Jackie, Pups, Cora, all the animals and especially for Marissa and Brooks! You are such an amazing man, Dusty!!! Thank you!!!🙏💙🌹 I realize that I cannot fully realize the amount of work that you do! I have raised 5 children into adulthood, but I know that animal husbandry is vastly different. Again, thank you for being such an upstanding man and rancher!!! I also have faith that your Bison Momma is worthy of keeping and that she’s able to have a healthy calf one day…she hasn’t come this far because she’s weak or finished…Miracles still do happen!!!
If she is healthy...see if she will carry a calf...maybe it's not as bad as you may think..
It is a miracle that she is alive. She would be a very expensive pet. It's hard to be realistic. But it's part of real farming.
The puppies are adorable. Praying for water in every way. Praying 🙏🙏
It’s been a tough year for you but it’s always darkest before the Dawn so that means next year you will shine. Keep your chin up and be careful shooting those darts. Sending positive vibes and strength your way. You got this, bad only last so long.
May the lord bless and protect you and your family. Love your videos
May our heavenly Father bring many blessings to your farm, whether it's health for your families, your livestock, or financial as well as working components.
Thanks for sharing.
Those puppies are so precious
Prayers for you and your family and your bison!🙏🙏🙏
I absolutely love seeing Mr.Dunbar! I pray his eye gets better soon. He should be your official mascot..❤🦬
I sure hope as yall do that Dunbar gets totally better. I also hope for the best for the texas cow. It sure is sad that happened to her. I will be praying that you all make the best decision concerning her and yall. I know it will not be easy. Yall have a good rest of the week
Praying they all be ok❤❤❤great work Dusty and everyone have a bless weekend😊
Processing her would seem to be the most viable option. Tough I know, however you are running a business at the end of the day. You will do the right thing for your ranch.
I rescued a five pound dog who came to me with an eye just like Dunbar after his antibiotics. The vet said it was probably an old injury and what we could see was the scar tissue. Manny had sight in his eye , just probably not full range of vision. He was my fastest mouser. He even beat the cats and dogs who were twice his size. He just ran under them and walked away with the mouse.
I think you should give her another chance. Nature causes calves to abort when something is wrong with them NOT necessarily the cow. I realize it was traumatic for you but you don’t know that will happen again. Think positive Dusty 👍
Give her one more chance to breed.
I don’t believe this was an aborted calf at that many weeks, it was a failed delivery for whatever reason. It is likely there is permanent damage. It would be wrong to put her through it again. I think you have to do what needs to be done so as not to take a total loss.
I agree how was the conclusion that she is ‘damaged’ come about .It is their decision of course and not hating on them for what ever they decide but I would give her another chance. She has gained weight and looks healthy.
Gorgeous Herd you have...❤
Thank you for sharing.
Have you called any of the zoo. We have several small drive through place also. Also in Arkansas and Branson. Or the Buffalo. Ranch rest stop and woodshed. in Afton, ok they have a few for people to look at and take pictures. It has been a place that has always had pets I guess.
Or any or the casinos Might want her as apart of their native side. Buffalo run casino and resort has the perfect place for her to be!! It’s a beautiful pasture with a pond. Geese and ducks.
I'm glad dunbar's I looking a whole lot better than it was before it's not running water or anything like that I love them Bart in the rest of the crew one love everyone 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🦬🦬🦬🦬🦬😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
We used a dowser when we dug our well. Maybe you should have someone come in and look for water. I've done it and it works, but we got a professional as they can tell if it's water runoff or a good spot to drill your well.
Thanks, what about an ultrasound for the Texas? For the Texas cow, best of luck. ✌🏻👊🏼
Those puppies are so cute. In large litters it is not unusual to have an angel baby. That texas cow is so sad what happened to bad they can't scope her to see how things are.
Very cute puppies
Why not have a ultrsoubd done to check her for damage?
Rule it out with an ultrasoubd
Any chance Doc could scope your recovering cow and give a report on breedability? Understandable that the decision comes to economics as part of the equation and I have no idea what taking a chance on a new calf v producing some meat would cost. Tough decision. God speed on that one.
As harsh as it sounds I would process the Texas cow. Unless there's a way to get an ultrasound done to check for damage. It seems like it would be kind of cruel to try and breed her again and keep her as a pet by herself, since herd animals want to be, well, in a herd. Ranching can be a very hard business but it says a lot about you that you care so much about your animals.
PROCESS HER.. THERE IS NOTHING TO THINK ABOUT!
so wonderful beautiful video friend i love it see so nice
You sound tired Dusty, can hear it in your voice. Hope things take a turn for the better soon. Can you afford an ultrasound to see if there is anything left in her uterus?
You’ll make the right decision on Texas Cow,
The eye has no nerves so there is no pain involved only time. You wave your hand and hes like well where is it? Dusty I think she will recover fully. If there was calf still in her, she is not going to be looking like this. She would have Pyometra and you would have lost her already or within 2 weeks. Damage maybe but an ultrasound would show that also. Dont underestimate the powers of mother nature's healing. I also agree you run a business, and you do have to consider that.
9:03 seems like he’s trying to say thanks…
I’m sure a lot of people already know this but Holy cow just by coincidence Tom Pemberton farm life just had a cow with “forest eye” looked just like Dunbar’s eye. He put the antibiotic paste in the cow’s eye. Very interesting, it must be more common than you would think.
The Texas cow could be put down because as hard as she has fought, she is missing her herd interaction. She may die on her own, but you have done everything to keep her alive, but that may not be what is best. I think Marissa is a good sounding board for you, she has a good heart and a logical mind. Wishing you all the best.
Seems like if there was much rotten calf inside I would question processing the animal for meat consumption.
How about a pounded well do they work in Oklahoma?
Part of farming is in the heart for animals the other part is business what a struggle being pulled both directions. I feel for you and Marisa
you both have a tuff decision but it will be the right decision.
Animals can be resilient and even though Dunbar may not see out of his eye, he will carry on with carrying on 👍
She would be dead if she had anything left over. This is the hard part of business. I think one of the hardest thing I went through was having to up down a mare that was colicing when she was in foal to a world champion Stallion. You hit hard some times give it to God you will make it through.
Big Joe is my fave. He knows he is an Emperor of the pasture.
When talking about the aquifer, ask yourself how long the draught has lasted.
His eye is a long way from his heart! Doesn’t need his eye to make babies!!!
Dusty, "He's not going to be slaughtered."
Dunbar, "We'll that's good news". "You know I'm standing right here, right?"
You could give some antiinflammatories, to decrease the swelling. He will do ok even with loss of some sight.
Portable ultrasound? We use it… depending on the worth in dollars (no heart strings attached) of the animal.
I’m going to give the answer the internet doesn’t like.
You run a working ranch not a sanctuary. Donate the animal to one. Or, well u know ur options.
If you lose money on clear choices u guys will negatively impact ur ranch and family. She is the first with this problem..
Sadly, it will not be your last. God Bless ❤
They thing is we as humans get sick and we need antibiotics to survive an infection. Animals are no different. People saying otherwise or complaining they don’t want it grow your own meat poultry etc. like Dusty said they wait for antibiotics to completely clear. SMH 🤦🏻♀️
Dunbar is just like a puppy with you. 😁
It looks like there’s a piece a straw, working its way out of his eye maybe think about putting them under general anesthesia taking a look to see if you can see if there’s something stuck in his eye.
I so want a puppy!! Can you actually drill that hand dug well?
You do what is best for your ranch. She is definitely a fighter.
Are you sick Dusty?
How do you know that there isn't something in his eye especially when he pushes the hay around with his head.
Dusty, you sound tired! Please take care of yourself! So much has been piled up on your plate this year! We all will support you & Marisa in your decision on the young mother bison!
Yes, he sounds so depressed.. poor family…
Keep pressing on, Dusty. You are a great man. Praying things will turn soon.
Want water find an Ole downer it truly works to find water, honest!!apple or willow works best for dowsing!!!!😊👍👌
And I 100% agree on the decision to use antibiotics on Dunbar. animals will sometimes need support. And “no antibiotics”refers to the animals who are being processed for their meat.
The antibiotics were administered for Dunbar’s well-being and in turn the breed herds overall wellness.
The right choice was made. Especially since you can already see improvement.
God makes miracles
Antibiotics can be used on animals intended for food; you just have to pay attention to the withdrawal period so that it is eliminated before processing day.
I agree. There is treating an animal that is sick with antibiotics. It is a temporary use meant to heal the animal. Where it goes bad is when they use the antibiotics all the time to speed production and so on.@@Oak_Hollow
Y'll is are amazing, showing and teaching good ways of ranching.
The problem with antibiotics is instead of providing proper care the horrible farms just give them instead of proper care clean water ect. And you have to love them videos with the half dead animals going to process
Dusty, Marisa, Brooks and Cole Thank you again for a very informative video God Bless you all and all the Bison watchers Healing Prayers for all fur babies and humans that may need them 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Outstanding folks your doing Wonders and I am praying for you and Dunbar
Melissa here using my husband's account. We Texans are strong and stubborn. Texas cow is a fighter...she has proven strong and didn’t give up. In the end it's your call but my vote is give her another chance. Not too quick but in time. So sorry of your hard summer. Life is always throwing things at us. Be strong, have faith! Sending prayers for all of you. Glad Dunbar is doing better! Love sweet Eleanor.
CITY SLICJER GRANNY LOVES WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS, PLEASE KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK. BECAUSE GOD BLESSES THOSE WHO CARE FOR HIS ANIMALS.
WHEN IN LAS VEGAS, CONNECT?
That Texas momma is a miracle She is strong and beautiful. So happy she is doing well🙏🙏♥️Continuing Prayer’s for her to continue getting stronger.
Well, if Dunbar can only see clearly with one eye, he should be able to do his job. He shouldn't drive without depth perception, so none of that. We're pulling for the whole Cross Timbers family to come through this awful summer and be able to move forward.
I think he would climb into that vehicle with you
Those puppies are sweet
Cute puppies!!! I know it's been a rough year for all of you!!! I hope things change soon!!! I'm praying for you guys!!! God Bless Us All!!!
Well if he does drive it should be with a seatbelt and a TomTom 😂
So glad Dunbar is doing better and that cow is doing better. We’ll just keep hoping and praying. That sure is a cute bunch of puppies. Take care!👍❤️
Praying for Dunbar and the entire herd!
🧡🙏
Dunbar is a character 😂😂! Glad the TX cow is doing well. Sorry you have a tough decision to make Dusty. It's been a rough year. You take such great care of them, they are extremely lucky!
She’s a fighter God kept her here for a reason
You have all had a challenging year but unfortunately that is what happens when you farm. Let’s hope the new year brings you a better time but you can’t count on that happening.
Lots of love coming from sunny Queensland Australia. ❤️
Dunbar may have poked his eye with a piece of straw while he was dismantling the straw bale.
one stiffen piece of straw or hay would do it ... and he too likes to play
It could have been a branch from the area where the bison have been eating the underbrush.
It really is a miracle she is still alive! I am sure you & Marissa will do what is best for your ranch & for her. Is there anyway to get her in a chute & do an ultrasound on her to check her reproductive organs? Good luck with whatever y’all decide to do. Thank you for the information on antibiotics & hormones. The pups are so cute!
Praying for RAIN 🙏🙏🙏🌧️Glad Dunbar's eye is doing better. Blessings to CTB 🙏🫶🙏😊
A lot of the country is dry this year. I live in MN and we are very dry here.
The Texas Cow is quite a decision for you and Marissa. The 2 of you became very invested in her life when you were removing the dead baby. I love the interaction between you and Dunbar - in fact, I ❤ DUNBAR.
Hello from Canada, Dunbars eye definitely looks better. Your herds are healing Rusty.
*DUNBAR* contacted me and claims he is a really big DOG! He says he is a rare Bison Dog of the cuddly persuasion. LOL!
On a serious note, though it does eat into the ranch budget, I vote for giving her a year off of breeding and then let her breed again and see what happens. Chances of her healing enough to do this are unknown, but the potential of her giving her you years of red dogs is valuable. It really is a miracle that she still alive and looking so good.
Dusty I think the fact that the Texas cow came up to you that day knowing you’d hep her is pulling at your heart strings and it will be so hard for you to let her go. Is there a sanctuary somewhere that can take her to live out her life? I’d hate to be in your position because I know how much you care about your bison. God bless you for helping her like you did, you did great by her. xx
Sanctuary is good. The money you would get by processing her you can raise through TH-cam fans. Another site called Friesian Horses raised money so the lady running the site could buy one of the horses (Unique). We could do that and lots of us would adopt her or go see her. Lots of advertising for the Buffalo community. God Bless.
Thank you Dusty 🫂💗
Keep it coming with your wonderful work😊👍
Thank you Cole 👏 and Doc 😊👍
I’m glad you gave us an update on Dunbar, hope it heals all the way. Dusty you have had your share of problems this past year. But you met each problem head on, consulting with your vet, consulting with other bison people, looking at each option that was given to you. You, Marissa and family, made all those decisions that was best for you and your future. Some decisions where harder to make than others but in the end you did what was right or best for the animals and your future. It all comes down to your decision. You two know what to do and what the right thing is.
Your Bison 🦬 are healing well by the looks of me. Dunbar's eye is looking better and Texas cow looks like she's feeling pretty good. I'm sorry about the water situation at your mom's and Kevin's place now. But you explained it very well about what will be done to "fix" the problem. And I have to say those puppies are so stinkin cute! I want one 😁 Dusty please take care of yourself, you sound like you might have a bad cold or something along those lines. Thank you for another great video!👍🥰❤️👏🎉🦬🦬🦬
Dusty, you sound very tired. Don’t be defeated! Challenges are worth their weight in gold, learning and growing in your knowledge of these wonderful animals. You’re a great steward, never doubt that! Keeping you my prayers.
Dunbar's like a pet dog coming up and wanting attention ❤❤
"Hey, Dad! Where's my cubes???"
I love when he starts inching closer to Dusty, and whipping out his tongue, trying to lick him! He definitely knows who you are.
So glad to see Dunbar’s eye healing.. he’s a Beautiful Bull.. thanks for taking Such good care of him and all the animals .. they are amazing
I hope Dunbar keeps getting better and the same for Texas Momma~ and I hope for some good rain for y'all!
Dunbar is just like a puppy dog when it comes to cubes. Such a sweetie. Thors pups r so cute. Im glad the TX cow is doing well. I know it's gard to make a decision when u have a big heart.
Prayers for Dunbar and the entire herd and rain. Puppies are so cute and adorable. Take care
Oh Dusty I can’t imagine how hard it is on you about the Texas cow! I hear the emotion in your voice!!
The Texas cow has a great will to live and gives a story of hope for us to follow. One cow won't make or break your farm, but the good the story does for your TH-cam channel is priceless.
beautifully said! Keep her, please
Or send her to one of the sanctuary farms.
She offers a great story this is true; however, I believe you should do whatever you feel is best for Crosstimbers Bison.
@@melb7948 TH-cam income is a boon for Crosstimbers Bison. She deserves a chance.
Is it crazy to start a gofundyou for her,just give her one more chance to have a baby.I am a softy,too
Dunbar is one tough customer! He'll be fine, Dusty. If his eye doesn't fully heal, he will compensate in other ways. Animals are resilient, they adapt well. King Dunbar will do what a bison does. As long as he has ladies and cubes, he will be okay. Hope all goes well for him.
Hi from Western Australia hope Dunbar’s eye keeps healing, & no permanent damage
Thanks for the updates. Sending prayers for good health for you, family, friends,animals and for helpful wisdom to make upcoming decisions.
I believe you will find water at 50 ft near the hand dug well when I dowsed it. Also, the Texas “miracle mom” cow who came to you for help is looking good, a testimony to her will and your good care, I think she’s even more of a miracle than we know! Give Mira a chance!
Don't worry yourself about what some people say. You have to do what you have to do to take care of YOUR animals. Just be sure to tell Dunbar chick's dig scars...lol😂
Kevin has and continues to be the best help y’all could ask for. Kev’s the Man!!🤙🏼
Hi Dusty, first of all, I hope you feel better. I can detect a virus in your voice. Take care of yourself too.
Dunbar doesn’t seem bothered by his vision, hope it clears up but could be scarring too. You take very good care of your herds and there will be occasional down days. Thanks for sharing.
Detect a virus in his voice? Not all sickness is a virus.
Glad Dunbar is getting better ! Hope he fully recovers ! This summer has sure been hard for you'all ! Puppies are sure cute ! 😊
Awe Dunbar loves you Dusty & those treats. Lol 🤣 Pray his eye completely heals.
It looked like Dunbar was begging for treats. He knows Dusty has a soft spot for him.
I'm sure if you said she needs a new home someone who follows this channel will be happy to adopt her
Being an animal guardian is never an easy job. Sweet Momma, Dunbar and all your family are in my prayers. Hoping you are blessed with rain soon.
Continuing Prayers for Dunbar 🙏🙏♥️ and all of you 🙏🙏♥️
The new puppies are adorable. I bet Daniel and Deejay will want one for a "future LGD" as Bear is getting some age on him. Glad Dunbar's eye is healing well. It looked "pink eye" to me.
Our old hand dug well was appox 25 ft, had been producing well for years and years. NEVER went dry when others did. A few years back during a drought, it collapsed in. Had someone come out and witch and found water 15 ft or so from old original well. We had it drilled and use same well house and old pressure tank.
I need some one who can this too. For me. Witch. I need a well.
It's been quite the year for you for sure! Glad Dunbar is healing and the Texas cow continues to improve! You'll make the best decision for your ranch with her. The puppies are cute! I'm not surprised that the well is going dry with the drought conditions you've been operating under for the last few years! It seems that you're in good company, unfortunately. I hope things will work out and that you get the rain you need!
Those puppies are adorable! So glad Dunbar's eye is looking better! I know a water witcher is more expensive, but it may be cheaper in the long run. I know it is a hard decision you have to make on the Texas bison. It is such a large animal, not like a puppy or kitten. It requires so much feed & water
Glad Dunbar's eye is getting better. Antibiotics are for the betterment of the herd. You did well!❤😊
Thanks, Cole. Always lovely to have you filming, different perspectives/angles/views, plus Dusty is hands-off.
The Texas cow has already beat the odds! I think she’s good to go. I see the sadness when you’re talking about what you should do. Keep her and she’ll have more calves 🙏
Hi Dusty, Marissa and Brooke. Thanks for the update on Dunbar. He is a magnificent bison. He truly loves yall. I love watching Adorable puppies. Hopefully yall get some rain. God bless and love yall ❤❤
Good evening from Syracuse NY everyone thank you for sharing your adventures and your herds
Gotta use the anti-biotics where you NEED them. Dunbar's recovery to important to the herd as well as to your family and attachment to him. It's the right thing to do. So glad to see the TX cow is still on the mend and improving. I'd say transitioning her to meat production is a good plan.
If you get a really good well drilled, might you be able to haul to the Ponderosa as needed too? That's good news that the equipment for the old well is not a total loss.
Puppies is kewl! Jackie needs another female to hang with since Maya's not there all the time. Big litter there. Shows how well the dogs are cared for and have some solid genetics too.
