My mother used to tell me of her father's complaints about ducks swimming in the cattles' water tank and how gallons of water had to be bucket dipped out. My grandfather was 6 years old when his family staked a claim in the Oklahoma land rush. My mother was a child in the 19teens. This was before water pumps and generators and everything on the farm was done by hand. It may be a "dirty job" but it will still be a dirty job a hundred years from now.
Good to see Eleanor. Good job cleaning out that tank. Surprised to see how big the goldfish are. Thanks for sharing.
Considering how they thrive on algae, Their size shouldn’t be much of a surprise. ❤️
Bless Eleanor for being so smart to separate herself from the herd in order to get her own supply of cubes w/o being bothered by the other bison. She's such a sweet soul. Great job on cleaning that yucky tank. Surprised the gold fish were still alive though.
At least Eleanor is smart. So happy you treated her first . Cleaning those water tires looks like it is a job since you have to have extra items there to help. What do goldfish eat while in there? They are larger now.
Just curious, doesn’t the toxins from the tire leak into the water?
@@tlbryant88 it must not because he put those tanks in last year & none of the bison have been sick or died. So, I would think not.
Gotta love Eleanor!
@@virginiacurrey2019 - they eat bugs, larvae, etc.
Eleanor is smart, she know how to get her food without fighting or being bothered by the rest of the herd. 😉👍
I am surprised that the goldfish have survived. And at how big they are. Clearly they are thriving in the tub. 👍💖
Not only extremely proud of you for helping these awesome animals, but happy for you too for being blessed to be in these animals lives ! The goldfish too! Good job buddy, carry on.
Morning Dusty. I remember the videos of the water tires. You do a great job taking care of the bisons on both homesteads 👍
Thanks for sharing your adventures with us and keep up the great videos!
I’m new to your channel and I am amazed at how much I can see how much they love you and respect you. I love the Buffalo as they are an amazing animal. I never thought you could have one that you could actually pet and love on! I’m now a fan!
Dusty it's easy to see that your hand feeding the Bison is paying off and one on one with them . The gold fish have grown it seems . Great video and great job. Two thumbs up 👍👍😎
That tank goop would be great fertilizer for Marissa's flowers!! Poor Miah looked bored, lol
That's what I was thinking.
not so sure the green algi in tank would be good for flowers. but who knows.
God blesd
Hey Dusty I saw the video when you first put the tires in and I had my doubts but you prove me wrong. I'm surprised the tires held up real nice and so did the goldfish they can live in just about anything lol. I see that you're spoiling the Bison with treats😉 so whats next for CTB keep up the good work and see you in the next video🤔🐂👍
I love how smart Elinor is. And well done! Bet the bison and the goldfish will enjoy the fresh water.
Your tire waterers are brilliant! The cleanouts would've been our job as kids, glad Dad didn't invent 'em🤣 Hope the goldfish don't croak from the icy water! God bless Dusty! 🙏💕🙏
ya that was a big shock not supposed to do that.
janetscott - goldfish generally do not die in icy water. They can survive most water temperatures around the year. To make it easy for the animals to drink when iced up is to put a couple of tennis balls or a football in the tank. There will always be a drinking hole.
Love your Bison they are strong , healthy, and beautiful the way God created them . Thank you so much for treating them the way they should be treated by giving them a place to roam like they did when there was no fencing.
Loved watching this video. You do such a great job Dusty. Dunbar and his herd love you so much for that fresh water! 🤗 It was a dirty job, but somebody had to do it. 😂 But you did a great job Dusty! And Eleanor loved the treats, all by herself. ❤️
Yay, for Eleanor and the goldfish!! You set a high standard of care for your animals. Thanks for sharing.
I love seeing Eleanor be so smart so she can get cubes. She is really a sweetheart. Pretty cool to see the goldfish survived through a winter and hot weather. Thanks for sharing. ❤️❤️
Eleanor is such a sweetie getting her own supply of treats. Go Eleanor! Yeah the goldfish survived and tried to escaped glad you caught it .
It's a dirty job that you do because you care about your Bison. You are always doing things to make their life better. I remember when you installed those tire waterers. Take care and stay safe out there. GOD BLESS Y'ALL.
The goldfish have grown a bit since you put them in! Eleanor looks good. What a special bison she is! That tank water looked awful as you were bucketing it out! I'm sure the herd will enjoy the clean water!
Loved seeing Eleanor get her special time and treats from you. The herd is looking good.
I was recalling the hard labor you put into establishing those water tanks while watching this vlog! Brutal!! They have been a lifesaver for the bison and worth every second of your work! Amazing you had ANY goldfish survive!
Good job, Dusty!! You should contact Mike Rowe and extend an invitation to join you the next time you’re inclined to clean the tanks! ❤️your channel, ❤️the bison. God bless you and you’re entire family!
🇺🇸MesquiteTX
Really love how you call out to your favourite big buddy, Dunbar that you love him! Adorable, Dusty! 😍🇨🇦
Loved to see our smart Princess, she knows how to watch you Dusty and get prime spot for treats. Great job on the water tank. Love how you make sure job is complete 😆 rinse off those gold fish
Maya is such a good dog and loves being part of everything that is going on
That is a dirty job but someone has to do it, good job Dusty,I know the Bison appreciate it.
Good morning Dusty and Bison family. 🦬 Sweet to see Eleanor get her treats special today. She just holds my heart, such a sap for the least of the herd.❤️❤️Glad the two goldfish survived,, hope they continue to survive the shock of clean water🤣. Yucky, but great job. Hugs from N.C..❤️
It’s a dirty job but you know Dunbar and his herd appreciate it love from Kingston Queensland Australia
I love Miss Eleanor. She is so smart. She knows she’s special, too.
Yay! The goldfish made it! That looked like a really dirty job!!
Thank you so much for taking us along, Dusty.
Blessings!!
Eleanor is smart. No hassle if she out maneuvers them. 😊
I was happy to see Eleanor getting her own food! I'm glad to see the goldfish made it this long!
debbiew - Goldfish can live up to 20+ years in the right conditions.
WOW! Surprised to see the goldfish survived! Eleanor is such a sweet, smart girl
Not sure how anyone could even think you don't love your furry family!
I love your videos
He loves them but obviously these waterers SHOULD be cleaned more often. NO animal should be made to drink from this. EVER.
@@Lisa-jb9rg oh please, this is normal of any tank, pond etc. It is what it is. The goop in the bottom is algae and will not harm anything as it always sinks to the bottom, might be a small amount of dirt mixed in from the bison's feet or mouths. Some places don't clean out their tanks more then every other year that I have seen. The barley bales help a fair amount also in my experience as we used them with our pond also. Once or twice a year cleaning these out are not a problem at all.
You'd be amazed at what gold fish can live through. I think their the best beginner's fish to start with in a pond setting. 👍❤🤗
Thank you for letting us see Eleanor and giving her cubes that is awesome!! You always have so much to do !! But you take awesome care of your Boson they are lucky !!
Good morning to Cross Timber Bison and all others too. Great videos Dusty and keep up the great work.
Your guys and girls are just wonderful, nice to see something that otherwise would be out in the wild and not seen like we do with you. Thank you.
Icky job to get out of the way, Dusty, but it looked so nice when you got done and I’m sure the gold fish are happy! Loved seeing Eleanor and her getting all those cubes to herself!
Awesome job you do caring for the bison! I hope the goldfish survive another year! I want to see how big they will get in their big "fishbowl"! Love how the bison come up to see what's going on!
There is NO DOUBT that you LOVE Bison !! You're a hard worker, Dusty. Excellent job on cleaning that tyre water trough - all by yourself !! Best Wishes for a successful breeding season !!
Hi Dusty Great watching your bison following you and so curious about what you're doing. Great video. God bless and Love Ya'll 👍👍💖💖
Hello Dusty,
Yay Eleanor =) . Glad the 2 goldfish have survived, are you going to get more? You better call Mike R. when you have to clean those tire water tanks next time ;). You did an awesome job Dusty, it was great to see Dunbar again...love that big feller. God bless
Glad to see the goldfish made it well cleaning out the tire. Love seeing Eleanor having her snack.
Eleanor is very smart to separate herself like that to get cubes. That was a dirty job! And the goldfish are huge. A frisbee could have been helpful scooping out the muck in the tire.
Right there okay I'll get it
3littlepig.s ... some g/fish will grow up to 16/18 inches long depending on what type you have.
It was such hard work but when you love your animals you do it for them. Love what ya’ll do❤️❤️👏👏👏💯💯
This is the first time I have seen bison that aren't angry or charging someone who deserves it. You are so very good with them. Its as if you know what they are thinking.
Thanks for sharing
Absolutely love seeing Eleanor and Dunbar they are the favorites and nice to see that you have at least 2 of the goldfish still alive! Thank you for taking us along when you're out in the pasture
I laughed when you told Mya not to drink the gold fish lolol glad to see they survived!! Cleaning the tire was for sure a Dirty Job!!
I just love Eleanor! She's my under-bison! I always root for her! 💕💖💟
Now you know the gold fish are there. Get a cheap fish net in pet deptpartment for aquarium. That was cool the battery pack ran shop vac. Makes life better when when you have the right tools. Love your videos. Old farmer's daughter in Michigan. My Dad would say use the right tool for the job. Then take care of that tool. And you have a better life. He was wise man. Blessings to you and your family.
🇨🇦 it's very evident how much you love your Bison. You sure do a fantastic job caring for them. I've really enjoyed learning about them. Thank you so much! 👍😊
Our fish did fine as long as their water didn't freeze to the bottom. It didn't matter how cold because they were sluggish in winter, but could still swim a little.
So glad to see Dunbar and Eleanor and the others doing well. And the goldfish that was a nice surprise they're getting big, have a good day
Dirty job but rewarding the Bison with fresh water just shows your care and love for them. I really love our adventures in watching your videos. Keep them coming....How's the office/chicken playpen coming alone....lol. Keep us updated, are you having A/C or ceiling fans to stay cool?
I enjoy how much you love and care for your bison and animals ❤️ God bless you! I look forward to every video!
Such magnificent animals, thank you to you Dusty and family for committing your lives to these beautiful beasts. God bless y'all.
Love seeing sweet Eleanor! She’s such a sweetheart! Wonder if there’s a way to add a plug to make it easier to drain those water tanks. What a job! Dusty you work so hard to keep your bison healthy and happy! God bless y’all! ❤️🦬
Did you see the water draining out? There is a plug but it's in the middle not on the outer edge where the tire is lower so he had to use the bucket to get the water and gunk out.
I love Elenor, she's always so sweet! That for sure could be a short episode of dirty jobs. Ya know I'd get a pleco aka, sucker fish to the tank. It will eat all the alge, but keep an eye on it year after year, they do grow quite big but they are awesome fish. Anyway.. lookin good!! Always love your channel. The bison are so majestic and what idiots did long long ago was a tragedy! Good to see people caring about them❤️❤️❤️
Sometimes it feels good to get dirty! Just think how much the bison appreciate your hard work and the fresh water! You feel so much better getting a job like this over with, then afterward the shower feels so wonderful when you get rid of the grime! 1st time watching and really enjoyed!
Dusty, chlorine, even in the smallest bit will kill the goldfish. That's why you have to put de-chlorinator in the water when you set up an aquarium. Don't put any chlorine tabs in with the fish still in it. Just move them to another area if you're worried about them making the Bison sick. I don't think that two goldfish could make enough waste to bother your Bison, especially since the water is always refreshing when it gets low. Eleanor is so sweet! Glad she got some cubes of her own. Take care, Love from Memphis, TN!
We have had fish survive and barrels up here close to that Canadian border in the north west. Water froze during the winter with snow, and they were just fine!
I remember my husband moving the water shut off valve from the outside of the house to underneath the house and around a big wall. During the winter when the pipes froze and burst and it was below freezing and water everywhere, he had to crawl through that freezing water to shut it off! I remember giving him hell and the plumber for moving it underneath the house! I never said I told you so.. but, my husband did admit he should’ve listened!
Dusty you work so hard on your ranch and for all creatures in your care. Take some time to have some fun with your family and relax!
Gypsises used to put goldfish into water troughs so they new the water was clean enough for their horses. Don’t know if it’s still done! But a good way of knowing the water isn’t contaminated, when you have valuable live stock!
I love seeing sweet Eleanor. I remember watching you install those water-tires; oowie that was some serious work. Keep up the videos!!
Eleanor is such a sweet girl. She's my favorite I wish she would have another red dog.
I can only guess at the lovely odors coming from that tank! It will be interesting to see if the sludge deposit fertilized the grassy area, or keeps it bare!
Nicely Done Dusty 🙌.
That cold Water will be welcoming for the Bison 🐦.
JO JO IN VT 😆💕
Love watching Eleanor . She is the smart one for sure
You realize you’re going to have to name those darn goldfish, right?! 😂
the two goldfish are fine in that size of "tank" we keep 1 per 20 gallons. Do not add chlorine to that tire water that will kill them. You left enough stuff in when you cleaned it out that they still have plenty to eat inside there. Goldfish are fairly hardy and will be just fine. I used to have a pond 2' deep 7' long by 5' wide and we kept 4 koi and 2 shubunkin goldfish in it most of the summer (over winter they were in a 1' deep 2' wide by 6' long winter holding tank that we called the coffin lol). Yes shop vac is perfect for cleaning like that, that is how I cleaned our pond each spring of the gunk from over late fall and winter (leaves mostly). Cleaned the pond and filters, replaced the filter media (quilting batting) refilled the pond and treated the water, let set and ran pumps and filters for 4 days then added the fish back in. Loved that thing (hated cleaning it in the spring though) and miss it but had to take it out when my daughter started walking good cause she would not stay out of it, always trying to swim and with the rock edging it was not safe in case she slipped and fell in knocked her self out and drowned (she was a Houdini on figuring on how to get out of locked doors). The Koi we donated to our local Zoo for their huge koi pond (they are still there, see a couple of them each time we visit and both have unusual markings so yes I know they were ours). The two shubunkins we kept in a 75 gallon fish tank and just lost them both a few years ago (lost electricity at house while we were gone camping for a week - person taking care of the critters didn't think to check the pumps (filters and air) on the fish tank).
hi there, as a city guy from 🇬🇧 its great to see you have deep respect/love for your bison and other stock, they are named and not just a stock number on an ear tag. Cheers. BTW I don't know why YT put your vid in my algorithm 😎 but glad it did.
🇨🇦 I'm a new subscriber and really enjoy watching your videos. 😊 Bison have the most beautiful eyes. Your soooo good to your animals and you have a beautiful farm. Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy days to make these videos to share with us!
Sincerely from Ontario Canada.
On our cattle ranch in Namibia we had 2-sided back to back cement water troughs that watered 2 camps. These troughs had large outlets (stuffed with a Hessian plug) that we could open to clean the troughs. These were fed with water from large reservoirs that we would swim in. Green scum flouters ignored when it was about 40 degrees C.
Love you taking care of all these bison. Life is wonderful
You care about your bison thats why you do what you do!
IF YOU PUT IN MORE WATER TROUGHS please consider putting in a bigger drain fitting at the lowest point in tank , the bigger the better . Simply stir up the mud/goop and watch it drain by itself. This makes it easier and you can do it more often with out all the stench and PAIN . Thankyou subbed .
Yes, it was a dirty job but a very worthy job! I can’t believe how big the goldfish are!!
try using a brush or board to stir the dirt and muck up to let the drain get rid of most of that for you and chlorine will kill the goldfish. we have put goldfish and or minnows in our water for the horses and cows with no problems. always enjoy watching your videos. thanks for sharing with us all the improvements and letting us just watch the Bison.
Dusty I don't think that anyone who owns a ranch-farm-working homestead is going to avoid dirty jobs. It just goes with the territory. However at the end of the day it can be very satisfying!
Great job Dusty! We all know you LOVE your BIG babie!!
Finally got #2 goldfish!! God bless you and your family and all your animals 🙏
With fertilizer shortage I can not believe you threw away the liquid gold from the tank. Would have worked for wife's flowers. Thanks for sharing 🙏 😎 🏖 🏝
We always had gold fish in my Grand fathers big tank and had no problems. I used to get assigned to break the ice when it got too thick and would somtimes see the fish under the ice after I got holes for the Angus to drink from; fish survived all winter but we never let it freeze solid of course. The big Tank was concrete and probably a couple of thousand gallons fed from a windmill.
Mike Rowe would be proud. 😎Great job.
Hello,up here in Canada we use goldfish in our horses water thanks.it does a great job in keeping the water clean,in winter we have heaters for the thanks so they are just fine.we have 12 in each thanks. No more algae or green debris thanks to our cleaning crew.
Cheers!
Good to hear some feedback on them. Thank you
Eleanor is looking good. The goldfish have grown so much.
You could put some Mosquito fish in too👍, not only do they eat the mosquito larvae , they eat the algae & scumb to keep the water fairly clean--most states have a COUNTY EXTENTION PROGRAM & you can get them free to stock your ponds & such to keep mosquitos way DOWN on your property,, just a thought🤔🐡🐡🦟🦟-- good luck cleaning the rest of the water source for the Bison👍☘
Question ... How did the goldfish get in the tank? People sometimes flush their fish down the toilet and find themselves in odd places. Tip, goldfish have very slimy skin/scales and it's best to catch them with a damp rag. This will not hurt them. Also some people actually put g/fish in their animals tanks to keep the water clean. They eat the food that drops out of their mouths, flies etc.. that drop into it. They can stand all temperatures and have been known to live under ice in winter...Maybe you knew all this but not all people do.
The tire waterer is such a crafty designed. Definitely durable and much needed for your bison.
Only two more to go...but you are a pro now.
I think my grands would love one in their cow/sheep pasture. I'm not sure how it would work I'm Michigan winters.
Forget the fancy drain - you could speed up cleaning if you used a siphon hose to drain those - you could then vacuum the bottom as it drains 😎
3/4" or 1" hose would do nicely. The shop vac hose would almost work; it's probably just a little too short to not be fussy. A longer hose makes it easier to maintain the siphon. I'd wager you'd probably not have to do any bucketing or vacuuming with the shop vac.
You are right that is a nasty job. Love that Elenor was smart enough to get her own cubes.
You are such a hard working man! God bless!
lol, yes that is a very Dirty Job! You need Mike Rowe on the job ... lol Love how you pamper Eleanor. lol Wow! That is so cool!!! How will you rescue them? Saw the rescue... Goodness, that is a lot of nasty stuff in the bottom.
THE JOB OF LAYING OUT ALL OF THAT WATER SYSTEM...YES SIR!!! HAVING WATER IS HUGE!!!
Dusty you take such great care of your your animals, Eleanor is so smart to separate herself from the herd so she can have her cubes in peace. Stay safe 👍👍😊😊🦬🦬
My grandad swore by putting couple goldfish in each water trough. He was convinced they helped keep down some worms and other parasites. And of course us kids loved it too......
I hated cleaning out water troughs for cows! I don’t imagine bison were much different. It’s a dirt job but we have it to do.
Yep I like the saying where is Mike Role for dirty jobs. Great job with the cleaning of the water tanks, so good to see the water be so clean.
It's obvious you care for those Bison, because that was a nasty job. Unbelievable the goldfish survived and have grown so much. It's always a treat to see Eleanor, she was smart enough to get her own supply of cubes. Have the best day possible and thanks for sharing your adventures.
That definitely is a lot work, Eleanor is smart Bison she waited and got her treats.❤😊
There was a bit of mud in there!(probably from them standing in it lol).Big job cleaning them out. The gold fish have gotten so big.💚
