Those are some good looking bison. It’s great to see that so many people are involved in preserving these majestic animals.
I think so to David!
I expect that they are trying to profit from bison sales.
commodification of a species is not preservation, it's a tragedy
@@that_garden_gnome
Why? The method seems to have the effect of preservation as the number of bison increases. The bison pay with their lives for the care they receive. One large bison is worth one or two thousand dollars suppose. Do you have a better plan? What?
Have you been listening to Klaus Schwab and the world economic forum and his plan to reduce world population?
Good morning to Broken Arrow Bison and all others too. Merry Christmas
😃🎄
Omgsh I'm so glad you said a prayer. Love that ❤️
😃👍🏻
I really enjoyed the video, Noah. Thanks for recording the prayer. Shows where their hearts are. Wonder how Dusty's stubborn Big Joe would do in that facility.
Thank you Bill! I think he would do just fine. It’s pretty well designed for stubborn animals. LOL
A fantastic chute set up. The wranglers are safe,the animals are controlled. You can tell a lot of trial and error went into that. Guaranteed any weak spot those animals will find it. Great job
Yes it is a good set up. They put a lot of time and effort into that like you said!
Thank you for taking us to see other farms and how they take care of their bison. I love seeing them worked through the alleyways and on out! Its exciting and frightening all at the same time. Its important for the care of the bison.
Absolutely. Thanks for watching Donna!
What must the plains looked and sounded like back when millions of these magnificent animals roamed free?
Wish I could have seen and heard it!
A lot noisier and better fertilized. There would be more depressions in the soil where the bison would wallow.
@@thomaskeil1437 Thomas amen to that. Except it seems today's politicians have caught and maybe surpassed the bison in the fertilizer department?
Great video
Thank you!
So love it when you travel and video other places working their bison. Awesome Hydraulic system hooked to the tractor.Great video. God bless Noah!
Thank you Donna!
I love it when you take us to other Bison Ranches. Beautiful healthy bison! Great video Noah. Love that they prayed before starting. God bless
Thanks for watching Debra!
I think I’d pray too! 🦬🙏🦬

Amazing. I really enjoy watching such a majestic animal. Thanks Noah for taking us on this adventure
Thanks for watching Janet!
Thank u Noah for sharing his awesome video! Can see why the adrenaline runs high dealing when working those beautiful animals….Glad everyone was safe. Loved watching ❣️👍😊😊
Thank you Glenna! Yes it sure does.
This was a fun trip and some really beautiful bison. They look like they are very well cared for. Happy holidays. 🎄🎁🎁
Thanks Patricia. Yes they are. You too!
Thanks Noah for sharing this event! It was fabulous!! I really enjoyed watching! I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and the best wishes for the NEW YEAR!!! I look forward to following you in the new year! 🤗❤️🙏🏼🎄
Thank you Kim! Merry Christmas!
What a great set up, hopefully you and Dusty can work toward this type of set up one day. Thanks for taking us along to see the bison being worked.
Absolutely. Thank you!
Thank you for taking us along. Stay safe.🦬💖🇺🇸
Thanks Jean!
Great video, Noah. I don't think the day could've been captured any better. It was good seeing you again. Merry Christmas.
Thank you Glen!! Merry Christmas to you also!
Wow! Awesome and Intense! What Gorgeous Animals!! Thanks Noah, Have an Awesome Day!! God Bless! 😀❤⚘
Thank you Karen!
Thank you very much 👍 to take us along. This was very interesting, so sophisticated equipment, well structured.. Although it stresses the Bison.. Stubborn but quite docile. When chased they could turn back and charge but in panicked mode they could also commit suicide when they rush or try to climb a metal fence..
Thanks for watching!
@@BrokenArrowBison 👍
Loved it. Fun day out, thanks for bringing us along, Noah.
Thanks for watching!
Great video. It amazes me the amount of work it takes to raise livestock.
Yes! People who raise livestock truly have to have a passion for it.
Best setup I have seen. I like the fact that that there are no corners, everything is rounded . and fresh water available while working them .
Absolutely Jeffery!
Great video. Enjoyed the prayers. Keep them coming. I'm a Bison junkie don't cha know! Paul St Louis
I appreciate that Paul! Me too!
What an awesome set up. Thanks for sharing this video..take care
Thanks for watching Carol!
Enjoyed they do seem pretty chill especially on work days. Love the little bulls
Me too!
Impressive... thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
What a great setup. Many years ago I helped at the Witchita wildlife refuge and and we worked off horses and sure didn’t have facilities anything close to that. It could get very hairy at times. I noticed the prayer before starting. Good for you. Y’all havagudun.
Thanks so much!
Thanks guys from Argentina 🥰🇦🇷
Thanks for watching!
Just come across your channel. I'm a farmer from the UK and it's really interesting to see different systems
That’s great! I find it interesting to see other systems too. I’d love to see your operation!
I got rid of the cattle a few years ago but this video got me all stressed out again! I don't miss that excitement too much.
Great video that was a nice herd and nice facility
Thanks for watching!
Oh what an adventure this must have been. Don’t know how I missed this but am glad you put it in a link. My favorite of course are the grunts..😀 take care
Glad you liked it!!
Amazing...definitely a nice coral setup. I like the tub alterations. The bison flowed easily through the system compared to others I have seen. Really good video watched it twice.
Thanks Jim!
Beautiful animals.
Sure are.
Really interesting and well filmed and edited as usual. The money it would take to put that ranch into operation! The mind boggles! Total City Girl
Thank you! Yes, funds that it works take…
Excellent way to start y’all’s day….🙌🏻🙏🏻🙌🏻 Hallelujah!😀🦬🦬🦬🦬🦬++
Love the prayer. Its always good ...With dangerous animals it is especially wise.
Wow, what a great video! I love the fact that the animals are not handled any more than needed and that safety was top priority. Great job. Most folks see a beautiful bison and think it's a pet, but in reality the bison is one of the strongest, most dangerous animals and are usually scared when being coralled. I don't blame them. Again, great, great video! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much! Yes handling them in a low stress environment is always best.
Awesome
Wonderful to see a praying family!
😃👍🏻
Wow this was amazing to watch these animals go through those cattle chutes
I think so too Rebeca! Thanks for watching!
Loved the video.
Thank you!
Only two minutes in, but oh do I love, that you start that tour with a prayer together 💕. You won’t find that happening here in Europe anymore 😔
That is a nice set up you all have.i love how you all got it set up.that save a lot of work.
They sure did a great job!
Priddy FFA (Future Farmers of America) is a school in Priddy, Texas and their Ag Mechanics team built the handling system and it won Grand Championship at the San Antonio Stock Show (Ag Mechanics contest) in 2013.
That’s great!
Very interesting!!😀
😁🦬
I love my family' buffalo ranch. They are incredible. One of our oldest females, Peaches, is more like a puppy than Buffalo. It feels like she considers me her yearling, at times, and has protected me from more than few of them. Cheers, from SoDak/Southern Black Hills.
That’s awesome! Great to hear from you Jose!
@@BrokenArrowBison Thanks for your reply. I had thought about starting up my own YT of our ranch/rock shop, but it feels like it would be too much work. I'll stick to watching you.
You should! I won’t lie though, it is a lot of work.
Neat video. Very educational and enjoyable.
Thank you Rose!
I know this is a older video but I enjoyed watching it. Working the bison is my favorite to watch.
Thank you Faye!
@@BrokenArrowBison Your welcome
We had a few bison farms around here in Alberta, one had around 800 head, one of the farmers had a 30 panel that he had hooked up to his loader on the tractor to move them in alley ways, I think it might help to put some rubber conveyor belting to cut down on the noise to settle them just a little better
Sounds like a nice facility!
Love the praying
Me too. 😁
Great video again love the Bison 🦬
Thank you John!
Your mechanical support system to keep cows is very solid, I wonder how much money will have to invest in this system
Noah this was a really good video. I loved listening to the bison grunting. They are all beautiful especially the calf I seen. Are any of your gals going to produce babies soon?? Wow nice facility, but nice to have to work the bison. Makes life easier and safer for you all. One day you will be in his shoes. Drean big Noah. Thank you for taking us along to Oklahoma. As always a good video. I miss seeing your herd. Merry Christmas and happy new year to your wife, kids, & you. And Wolf & Bison. Give them extra cubes and bone for Wolf
Thank you Diana! No, mine are expecting any time soon. Will do! Thanks for watching!
Great video!
Thank you!
Retired cattleman here. That setup would make cattle working easy as moving puppies around.
Sure would!
Just to reflect - brilliant that you are out there taking it all in - another little point of what we found out about the routine - is its very wet weather more chance of having to do it - the best way for an animal to thrive is to let it on the dry side of things. I mean dry feet etc - dry stalls - be specific of cleaning up muck area etc.
👍🏻
We had a cattle prod on the end of a brush handle. They sometimes turned on you. A quick zap with the prod and that stopped them in their tracks. Even in large spaces you had to be on your gard. They were warse still when they had cove's.
Yes sometimes that is necessary. They do get protective with those calves.
Looks like that herding quad could use pneumatic folding long gates on either side of it to expand outward 15 ft on either side when herding the cattle; like a race start truck with the unfolding wings on a standardbred trotting track; thats how they start the race.
Sounds like that would work!
@@BrokenArrowBison herding bison is a very difficult job; they are definitely not as domesticated as cows; the quad wings wd have to b very sturdy indeed; and the funnel fence leading into the canal type fence wd have to have a large gradual mouth to it; otherwise the cattle may not readily go into it. but think what a great video that would make with a quad OR an older pickup that had expanding folding wings; you could go to any trotter racing track and examine their race start truck to see how they do theirs up. wd make a very good yt video!!
Yeah that would be a great setup!
It's called a Sweep.
The Overhead cat walks and remote gate operation is IMPRESSIVE!!!
Sure is.
I'm kind of playing catch up again Noah but I truly enjoy your videos God bless you and all the work that you put into your farm Sandra from Mississippi
Thank you Sandra! Appreciate your support!
@@BrokenArrowBison love watching you and Dusty with your boss and and I try to watch everything that y'all do I think your tire project is awesome Dusty's got some at his farm I'm so proud of his new form that he's got I just watched him corral a bunch of cows on it and I think you and your wife and him and his wife are doing an awesome job with these bison's God bless you Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Sandra from south Mississippi
Merry Christmas Sandra!
very cool
Best bison ranch! I love this one!
Thank you!
Hi good to see the Bison being worked
Thanks for watching Georgia!
GREAT VIDEO,ALOHA,SMART 2 PRAY AHEAD,U GUYS F......G ROCK,YEE HAA!!!
Lots of fun!
Avery awesome set up Noah.
Thank you Rodney!
I just finished my first bison round up. We sorted and weaned. It was stressful and traumatizing and there was casualties (2 calves and one bull).
We don’t do any ivermectin or any vaccines. All natural. The animals were all healthy but it was stressful.
I know of ranches that don’t wean and I think that’s the way.
It sure can be stressful. Yes I know a few that don’t wean myself. Where are you located?
@@BrokenArrowBison this Ranch I’m working on is in Northern BC, Canada. 700 head. And all day long now I deal with with bison on the road as the yearlings try to get back to the main herd. It’s a nightmare! I would try not weaning if it were my ranch. I do understand the need to sort cull animals but I don’t know. Must be a better way 🤪. We slaughter on ranch every Friday in winter. Would be nice to have a squeeze chute but just a regular one seems to do the trick so far….
Sounds like you’re learning alot!!!
I love how well this facility has been Temple Grandinized. 🙌👏👏
😁
Awesome corral system
Yes it is!
I think I would at least try to deaden the sound on the chute setup. It has to be adding to the stress of the animals and making it harder to get them to run though. Even just gluing some foam rubber to the outside of the equipment would have to help.
Yes, different producers are always trying things to make the equipment quieter. It seems to be somewhat of a trial and error.
Excellent handling facility. Looks like a healthy herd, good looking animals for sure. Is that ranch a possibility where you will get a few bison from to expand your herd? Great video Noah and appreciate the chance to see how other bison ranchers operate. Also want to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas. -debbie
Yes it sure was. Quite possibly! Thanks so much, you too!
Such tough animals, and wild.
Yes they are!
How large is their herd , and the ACREAGE They are on.
Great video, Noah! Some of those bulls were really magnificent. Feel bad for the little guys that get so scared, but that won’t be their last time and hopefully they will get a little used to it, but that might be wishful thinking on my part! None of them seem to like it much!
Surprisingly some of the older animals do seem like they get used to it!
I don't know whether the smaller ones get castrated or not.
They do not get castrated.
Great video thanks new subscriber
Thank you for your support Robert!
Remember, it's the bison's world, you're just living in it
Seems to be the case Mike.
Big ah tonka👍
👍🏻🦬
Thats a great system they got
It sure is!
So interesting. I just have to say, I really appreciate the way you are always explaining but never repeating. There is another young bison rancher with a TH-cam channel similar to you but OMG the narrative about drives me crazy!! Same thing over and over again. I guess I’m from the school of if you don’t have something interesting/ original to say just roll the footage. Anyways all and all, I like your style!
We raise cattle in the central part of Texas. When we pen cattle to work, separate calves etc. we use horses in the pens to separate and cull. I was curious if y’all have used horses to assist in moving the bison into the holding facility??
Personally I have not. Horses are used to round them up often but I don’t know of anyone who uses them in the actual holding facility. Bison are faster and more agile than most horses are. So it would take a good horse and good rider I suppose.
GREAT VLOG, Noah!! Thank you! 😻 🇺🇸MesquiteTX
Thank you for watching Carol!
nice set up
Sure is!
That ranch set up is no joke. Very well organized I love bison meat. Just found out there's a bison ranch in ohio and they have a family owned store run by two brothers called the Bearded Butchers, can't wait to go shopping there. Bearded Butchers are on TH-cam. Thank you for all your videos.
That’s awesome! Love there channel.
This gives me Jurassic Park vibes 😂
😆
Doc Parsons has a similar chute but his chute in mobile on wheels !!!
Sure does.
You guys ever use dogs to sort them? I always hated using them for cattle but I think it would beat jumping down in there myself to sort bison on foot.
That catwalk design is genius though. I'd look forward to working cattle with a setup like that.
Few ranchers do but a gentleman from Oklahoma I know uses them. He uses mini Australian shepherds.
There was 5million head in north America back in day
Would have been nice to know what some of the treatments were and views of the bison getting them.... maybe next time?
I had to go clear to the end of this clip to find anything resembling action-packed
AMEN
Maşallah 🧿🧿
OK. How in the world do they "preg check" a bison?! Ultrasound, blood work? Those really are beautiful animals they raise. I'm like you, I like the darker markings best.
Thanks again Noah. Merrie from Southeastern Pennsylvania.
A trained vet can use there hand…. Or they will use an ultrasound.
Bison meat tastes good too...🇺🇲
Sure does!
I don't know about any of y'all but I'm up for a Bison burger now!
Sounds good to me!
@@BrokenArrowBison Do you process your livestock? If so, you can send some my way!!!!
Not currently. Maybe in the future though!
@@BrokenArrowBison 😔
herding dinosaurs! monsters. I live near Broken Arrow and had no idea they were there. do they sell meat? Bison steaks?
That’s great! I do not believe they sell meet at this time though.
That almost looked like Kevin down below you? They seem pretty good at getting into the shute. Stay safe & take care of you all. Thanks for sharing eh :))
No it was it. LOL yes, this is a very good working facility!
Are you building a shute like this?@@BrokenArrowBison
No, I wish. Just the squeeze chute alone (the thing that holds them down) is over $50,000… A little out of my price range. 😉
Wow crazy on that price. Maybe one day you can get one of them Noah - dreams do come true. @@BrokenArrowBison
🤔💭😃👍🏻
What good are bison.
Love the channel and content! If you don't mind me asking, what is the main source of return/income on them? Is it meat? I myself, love Bison meat. Esp jerky. Lol
Thanks Dave! Yes, buffalo meat is the main reason for raising them. Obviously there’s other reasons but that is the number one.
nice operation well organized, mayhem to the minimum,mininimizing stress on the animals and personnel grreat operation.
I agree Dennis!
I have never heard of "flushing" buffalo. I have heard of herding cows and just wondered if there is a difference.
Same thing, just different ways of saying it.
