I appreciate how you lovingly and respectfully removed the calf’s body and gave it a nice resting place under the trees after giving the mother some time to grieve. 💔
Mama still looking for her baby. This was so hard 😭 sad for Belle Star and sorry you had to go thru this with her 😔
There must of been something wrong with the calf because Belle has cleaned yet.
I am mourning with you, Belle, and everyone else. Watching Belle chase you, crying for her baby.😥😥Gut wrenching.
@@phylliswells289 could also be that with the calf still born and never nursing it didn't kick the hormones even higher to enhance or strengthen the contractions. Have seen that before with several species of animals in the past.

Poor Belle Star😢 thank you for taking the babe and giving it a perfect burial place❤
So sorry for the loss of Belle Star's baby, and prayers for peaches and her calf. Not sure why I received this today but brought to mind something that happened to me in my 20's, years ago here in Oklahoma, for some reason I just wanted to go out to the Arbuckle mountains by myself so I parked my car out in the field and walked up this hill to a place I'd never been before and when I came back I noticed my car was surrounded by bison which I'd never seen before being a city girl and never being near a farm, this was a real treat but they had my car surrounded and I waited and waited and they weren't moving, not knowing any better I was a little frightened but It was getting late and I needed to get to my car so I slowly crept up little by little and believe it or not they slowly started moving away and just made a pass for me to get to my car door. I slowly turned on the car and ever so slowly crept out of there, heart pounding but I remember the look in their eyes very peaceful very calming and I felt I had an experience I would never forget and I haven't some forty years later. Have loved bison ever since 🥰
I’m kinda worried about Belle Star. She still had the afterbirth hanging after that long. Hopefully she’s ok and there isn’t anything wrong there, no infection or anything. Nice little place under the trees for baby Belle. You keep on ranchin I’ll keep on watching.🦬🦬🦬
I was wondering the same thing. Dusty, how long do you leave the afterbirth hanging before some kind of intervention is needed?
Thank you for the respect you gave that babe. The trees will be great protector's.
Yes - I know in cows you sometimes have to pull it. When do you get concerned with a bison cow?
Yes, I was concerned as well. Hopefully she eventually passed the rest of the placenta. With cattle, horses and other livestock you can monitor and treat for retained products of birth pretty easily but bison is a whole other situation. They're super resilient animals but still vulnerable to the same birthing complications and resulting infections.
I noticed the same thing. I was told for cattle you go by the hour. 1 hr after onset of labor the babe should be on the ground, 1 hr after that it should be up and nursing, 1 hr after that the momma should clean out the afterbirth. Maybe this doesn’t exactly apply to bison but this long after she definitely should have passed it I would think.
I was wondering this same thing myself. I hope there is nothing to be concerned about there. Poor Mama.
Dusty you've done everything you could to give your Bisson the best life humanly possible!! You are truly a gift from god for these animals!! Canada has so much love and respect for you and your family!!!❤🇨🇦❤🇨🇦❤
Crying...❤...you did the right thing. We appreciate your humane treatment of both the momma and her baby...not to mention all the other wonderful things you guys do all around. Truly, thanks for sharing.❤
Love how you showed Belle the respect of allowing her to mourn.
I'm not sure why this channel came across my YT feed today, but I can't stop watching it, and seeing Belle Star so obviously devastated was such a relatable emotion. I definitely cried a bit. Then I was cheering on Peaches and hoping that her calf would be okay. Sheesh. I'm already hooked 😳. Honestly, seeing the guy tear up when talking about losing that calf, his genuine heartfelt love for his animals is why I subscribed.
So glad you get to be a part of the best bison channel on yt. Welcome aboard!😊
Great channel, I've been watching for months now. ❤
@wingsandbeaksbirder2312 I'm catching up with every video of theirs!! It's so interesting and highly addictive!! They have such a beautiful family and love for their animals that who wouldn't love this channel??!! I just watched one where he was talking about Marissa being wife of the year bc she was out helping him move Dunbar on mother's day 🥹!! They're positively adorable!!
welcome to the channel, watch all of them. Alot of them are hilarious 🤣 I caught him about his 2nd-3rd year.
Same here.
Thank you for showing kindness and respect for Belle Star and her baby.
I was in tears watching Belle Starr chase you crying and bellowing and then the care you took of one of Gods special creatures .. It shows so much the character of you and the love you have of our Beautiful Bison ... Thank you Dusty ... you made this grandma's heart love you even more as a man and human to care so much
Yes, that was sad to see.
Please think of this feeling Belle Starr showed when you buy products where milk is in. Every cow cries when her new born baby is taken away so that we humans get her milk. 😢
Greetings from Germany
So sad
👍
Yes, thank you.
All life is precious, this made me cry & yes it brought back memories when I buried my beloved 16 years old ChowChow, wrapped her up in a beautiful pink blanket & laid her to rest outside my bedroom window. All mothers grieve.
My heart broke when Belle started running after the truck. Beautiful final resting place.
Dusty, I loved how respectful you treated Belle Starr's calf and laying it to rest. Thank you.
My heart hurts for Belle Star. I wish more people understood that animals love their babies too and mourn their passing. Thank you for caring for your animals with such concern, love, and respect. Blessings for a healthy calving season.
I am one of the people who very much understands that animals grieve, love, have deep affections, are more intelligent than biologists give any of them credit for. Sometimes I wonder if God gave us dogs to show us how to love unconditionally
Sometimes they will leave them after several hours, but if they don't sometimes for the cows sake you have to take them. I had a mare grieve for almost a week even after we took the foal after 6 hours. Fortunately we found an orphan foal and she accepted it.
You are doing a wonderful job raising these beautiful creatures
Your love & admiration for your Bison is commendable. Belle Star was obviously hurting but we could see you & probably your family were hurting. Prayers for your animals, your family. Thank you Dusty for including us in a difficult time. 🙏🙏🙏
You can tell this was very hard for you and us too. Love how you were so respectful of mama and her baby and how you put the calf in the hole and made sure everything was just right. What a beautiful place to bury the calf underneath the big beautiful trees. We can see how much these incredible animals mean to you and we are very blessed that you take us along on this journey. God bless:)
You’re doing a commendable job, taking care of these bison. Days like this are not any fun, but we just have to take them in stride. Our prayers are with you guys. 👍❤️🙏
Thank you for taking such good care of your herd and yourself❤
Hugs to you Dusty. You are an amazing person. ❤
❤hard time, I see the respect you had as you placed the red dog and covered it. Praying this will be the only loss on the Ranch.
Probably not TBH, it’s part of ranching, since the beginning of times (though vet medicine has made SO much progress, these bison 🦬 beasts are still considered wild animals - vs. domesticated cattle/dairy/beef cattle!
That's a beautiful place to lay the calf to rest.
You have to show the good and bad that is nature so sorry for her loss 😢
Dusty, you took such care laying Belle's little one to rest. You've got a big heart! I hope Belle Star is able to stop mourning soon.
Dusty, sorry for your loss. I’ve raised cattle for over 50 years and I know what you’re going though. My vet always says if you raise livestock, you’ll have dead stock. It’s just a part we all hate, but it is the reality we deal with. Sorry for your loss.
Kudos to ya Dusty, sorry about the red dog. 😢
I felt so bad for Belle Star when you drove away with her baby😢
Fellow Okie here. Love what you guys are doing. It isn’t easy losing any animals. On a different note, I heard you call your tortoise shell cat, Charlie. Is it a male? If so, they are extremely rare. Most calicos of any kind are female. He’s a little miracle himself. I was raised on a farm, and I enjoy you sharing your journey.
Charlie is a spayed female, I believe.
Charlie can be short version of Charlotte also. It is one name that can be either gender.
Charlie is a female.
Peaches and her calf are adorable together. My heart breaks for Belle Star. Her grunts and rumbles were so sad. I know this is part of nature, but we don’t have to like it.
The respect you showed your momma and her baby is so overwhelmingly beautiful. Brought tears to my eyes. Bless you
Dusty you have such a good heart. I've watched you from the beginning. You show so much for love for your family and animals. God bless you.
Poor Belle Star. I hope she’s going to be ok and able to have another when she’s ready
You are the epitome of human kindness, love and decency. You understand that every creature on this planet has the capacity to mourn a loss and the decent thing to do was to honour that loss with compassion.
I cried a bit when belle star was vocalizing, her emotions were so very evident and heartbreaking.
God bless you Dusty.
That was so heartbreaking watching her start calling to her baby and start looking for it. She will be an amazing Momma next time.
You did such a wonderful thing for Belle Star. ❤ You're going to feel the pain they feel, you love them. You care a lot about them all. You did a good thing for that baby, it has a resting place, and close to its mama. ❤❤
What a lovely resting place for that poor baby.
I hope to see a good update on Miss Belle Star in the next few days. Hopefully she looses the rest of that discharge soon. Peaches is such a good mommy.
This was rough to watch. I’m not going to lie, I cried watching Belle Star frantically looking for her baby. That is just soul crushing as a mama. I can’t imagine being there and having to go through this and not being able to help her. But Dusty, you are one of the most caring people online and you did everything you could. Honestly you have done everything right and letting Belle Star grieve. I know what it’s like to lose a baby so I know how she feels. But your gentleness and kindness will always be part of Belle Star’s life. I pray she can bounce back in time. You giving her baby an amazing burial is so special. It’s going to be hard to watch Belle Star for a while but I am praying for her and the whole herd.❤❤🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Great resting place and truly a respectful act that you performed !!!! Thanks
I loved seeing Charlie and Betty. Thank you for showing such respect to this little red dog and burying it so lovingly
It’s good to know you sincerely love these animals. You’re in the right business.
Matey you can only do what you can do..ultimately it's in Gods hands.
You are a good man, Dusty, honoring Belle Star's loss and burying her calf in a lovely place. God Bless
😪My heart hurts for mama Belle - may God keep blessing you for taking such good care of your bison family, especially for showing so much respect for Belle's baby.
It is so hard Dusty, to see a mom animal suffer at the loss of her calf. I grew up in the country where we had dogs and cats. True it's not the same as your bison, but we were able to help the moms deliver when they had problems. Sometimes, there's just nothing you can do. I'm so sorry, had my share of tears when we lost one, too. It's just heartbreaking. My prayers for Bell Star and all her human family. She trusted you to try to help. 🙏🏻 God bless you all.
Awww man! My heart just breaks for Belle!!! She is so sad! 🥹🥹 Thanks for your loving care of your Bison! ♥️♥️
And thank you for sharing with us… 🙏♥️🙏♥️
Hey Betty 😊
Dusty we know you would have, if you could have saved that calf! We have felt the loss with you😢🙏🦬💔
Hey Charlie girl 😽
Happy to see Peaches calf is doing well!🙏🦬💜
Sorry Bellstar, 😢 your Beautiful reddog has a great resting area,under the pecan tree's!
Thanks for sharing Dusty! 🙏🦬💜🌸🌺🥀🌹⚘️🌷🌼🌻
So sorry for the passing!! Its so sad warching Bellstar running after your truck!! Playing she doesnt mourn much longer!!! Peaches calf is gorgeous
I appreciate that you show us all the realities of bison ranching ! It's tough to loose one. But you have shown us how a real rancher handles the situation. You were compassionate and respectful. That is what makes you a great rancher! That was a beautiful burial site ! Thank you for sharing !
It shows how much you care for and about all the animals you raise. You are teaching your daughter by example to respect living things, particularly the ones that are your responsibility.
Good evening from Syracuse NY everyone thank you for sharing your adventures and your herds
Hi Earl Im from NY as well. I am from Star Lake area but currently Living in Tupper Lake. You are about 2 1/2 hours from me. I have family that lives on Oneida Lake.
Ok my friend
Thank you for giving the little red dog a decent burial. You picked a very nice spot under the pecan trees. I hope Belle Star will be ok. I cried watching her look for her baby, 😢
I have so much respect for you Dusty. You gave Belle Star time to grieve and you buried her baby in a beautiful spot. Prayers to you all.
Watching her chase the truck just about broke me. That was very compassionate of you to let her have time to mourn and give her baby a proper burial.
Thank you Dusty for caring so much about these babies. It tore me up when she lost her calf. I was worried that Peaches might lose hers too. Thankfully it’s ok.
Hi Dusty! Thanks for being such a wonderful Bison Rancher. You truly treat all your animals with respect and dignity. Peaches' baby is so cute. Could you please reveal the gender of the little red dog for us? Thank you again for taking us along on this adventure. Blessings to all!
In the last video he said it was a bull.
Love the respect and love you show to not just Belle Starr but to that baby that past. Doesn't matter if you raise animals for 1 year or 50 years this is never easy. I'm sorry this has happened and pray this doesn't again.
My heart breaks for Belle Star😢💔 It is so hard to see her being so confused and lost. You all are doing such amazing things with these Bison. The world is lucky to have ppl like you. With that comes heart break some times. Praying for you all.
Thank you for sharing everything with us. Charlie has beautiful markings.
I think going through this ritual is helpful for you too, Dusty. The baby bison will always be remembered, as well as your respect and consideration for the short life it had. Thank you, sir.
It was so sad watching Belle Star mourn for her precious baby. She couldn't understand why it wasn't waking up. Watching her lick it trying to stimulate it broke my heart. Then seeing her run after your truck when you took it for burial. Brought tears to my eyes. And you placed the baby so delicately in its resting spot, then laid flowers on its little body before covering it with dirt. That got me.😪 Now I hope Belle Star will be able to produce a healthy red dog on her next cycle. Thank you Dusty for the care you do for those beautiful bison!🙏
Life in general ain't all "Unicorns & Rainbows". Ranching's a hard business. The fact that you show the bad WITH the good says a lot about you. Thank you for your compassion & honesty in telling the story of caring for this incredible animal. ❤
Saying a prayer for Belle Stars’ loss of her calf. All of your animals are so lucky to have you to take care of them. May God bless you, your family and all of your beautiful animals. 🦬😢❤🙏
You’re a good man and you honored the life of that calf. God bless you, your family and your herd.
Thank you!
Thank you for the warning- this just broke my heart. Forgive me for not watching😢
Watching something like this isn't for everyone hun. He will not hold it against you. Hence the disclaimer at the beginning of the video. ❤🇨🇦❤🇨🇦❤
Dusty thanks for showing so much care and respect to Belle Stars calf 💕🙏😊
I also appreciate the respect you showed in both allowing Belle the time to mourn her loss and providing her babe such a personal, respectful and caring burial in a beautiful place.
It makes me wonder if she didn’t have, like humans can, either a placental abruption, or a cord accident, any number of things. I don’t know enough about bison to even know if it ‘translates’. 🤷♀️
What I can see in the videos you have posted, is that it was out of your hands and control. Thank you for sharing the hard parts of your work as well as the good. Catching Peaches delivery somehow seems to at least bring some bit of comfort in a sense. 🤷♀️ I hope Belle recovers well.
May you all stay safe and blessed. ❤🙏❤
Usty, This is exactly why I love your channel content! You show us everything that comes along with ranching! Thankyou for teaching us! God Bless!
RIP lil baby😞🌹
How hard this must have been for you, I am truly sorry, it's hard to see one you love mourn the loss of a baby. Thank you for all you do for these amazing creatures!!
Looks as though Belle Star still hadn’t passed the afterbirth when you had to take her calf away. Is that a problem? Hope not. So glad Peaches’ little red dog got up and is doing so well. Keep ranchin’!!
If not passed, it can cause infections since that’s essentially now rotting flesh inside her. Most animals you want it dropped within an hour or 2 of birth
What a beautiful place for your lovely red dog to rest. Sleep well little one.
It must have been hard for you to see Belle Star following the truck with her baby in the back. But it's admirable how respectful you were towards both her and the calf. Don't ever lose that sensitivity. These are obviously sentient beings who feel pain and mourn loss.
Feel for Belle Star! And for you. We have lost many dogs over the years! Our lab left us in March, due to bladder cancer. God bless you. I hope she passes after birth soon!
Bless you Dusty ❤❤ so sorry for the loss ❤️
Thank you Dusty for showing how life can come and how it can go and not sugar coat the whole thing like many channels do. Many out there only show the sunshine and roses aspect and to me that is dishonest content. I am worried about Belle not cleaning out yet, I hope you don't have to try and load her to take her to doc's and she passes that soon for you. To bad you couldn't get any oxytocin into her to help with contractions to clean her out (may have to look into a darting system for medications in these rare instances) if she is not past the timeframe to use it (we would use it occasionally in our female dogs if we were missing a sack after all the puppies were born). I really hope she will be ok. Funny enough we had a dog named Belle Starrz Dakota Sky Angel who we lost in 2021 (15 yr old shih tzu). Hmm thinking you need a Annie Oakley (Annie Oakley R Lil Sure Shot - shih tzu we lost in 2014) yet lol.
Hello from south bend Indiana. Love the series.
So sad. My condolences to you and everyone at CTB.
Such a sad time Dusty .. my heart goes out to you all ! You buried him in a beautiful spot !! Prayers for you all !!
😂 You did what you needed to do. What ranchers/farmers have to do!! I can only imagine that it was difficult for you and I'm proud of you for being so compassionate
for that momma!! Keep on keeping on!!
Poor Mama Belle. So sad to see her mourn. Hope her emotional pain goes away soon. You are such a great caring farmer to all of your animals. Prayers for all involved.
Oh my Dusty. 😢😢😢. I loved how thoughtful and gentle you were with the wee fellow. God bless you for that. It must have been hard for you to film it and share it. Thank you. 🙏☝️👍❤️❤️
We know you love all your animals Sorry for your still born bison ! ❤️
I loved how she ran after the truck then two of the females joined her then stood by her.
Sorry for your loss. Now I hope Belle Star can lose her placenta and it not cause her an infection. Not sure of the length of time that has passed but was surprised that it was still attached to her when you pick up the calf for burial.
You did a great job with the situation. The mama hasn't cleansed yet, and that might be an issue. Great job under the circumstances. Sorry for your loss.
Dusty you did it so tenderly & Gently for Belle Star and for yourself !!! Thank you for doing it like this YOU HAVE GOT A GENTLE SOUL in side of you !!!
Dusty thank you for being so caring to these animals. Your viewers can feel the passion you have for them.
My heart just hurts for both you and Bell star. I pray that she does not mind forever.
Is Belle going to be okay? She still has material hanging from her. Won’t that cause infection? I hope she can pass that and not get sick. TFS
You were so gentle and respectful to this little lost one.
Arranging it in the little grave so tenderly.
♥️😥. bless you Dusty.🙏
Sorry for your loss and prayers
Bless her heart. It was so sweet for you to give her a final resting place ❤️ Bison are truly amazing!
You did the right thing Dusty, you gave her time with it, and nature would have told her to move on. Nice resting place for the little one. Kiwi from Virginia.
Oh my goodness, this one broke my heart. When Belle Starr was running after the truck for her baby, that broke me down and when she was crying making that noise. Y'all are so respectful to your animals and I love seeing that.
Dusty, sorry for your loss, I appreciate how you handled the whole situation. Love your channel.
I really appreciate how you TREAT your BISON. I FEEL BAD FOR THE MOTHER. QUESTION, WILL THE mother be ok. Thank you. DANIEL PITTMAN PITTMAN
Oh my heavens, what an awesome thing you did to allow her to grieve for a bit and then give the baby a decent burial. That had to be so hard for you, you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Belle Stars baby looked very small compared to the others out there. It won’t make it any easier. But there had to be a issue. Nothing you could have helped her with.
Beautiful way to pay tribute to Belle Star and her lost calf Dusty... your love for these beautiful relics or early America is evident... well done amigo - well done!!
Thanks for caring and showing such respect. Love it’s resting spot.
So must respect to your animals and family. You and Marissa did a great job. Respect to all your crew.
