I always love to see what kind of day farmers have when it comes to taking care of their animals. Animals need to be fed no matter the weather. Nobody can take a vacation or day off, just because, when you have animals. I love the different voices you make when you speak to your animals. It shows your caring nature. Like I say, I’m a huge fan. Great job keeping the animals contained as you travel through the various pastures. Your wife’s idea is a good one. Great job as always.
Watching you take that extra little bit to ensure Eleanor gets some goodies just warms my heart. I love how much love and time you try to give all of your animals.
Keep ranchin dusty. Love the bison in the snow they look more majestic or regal to me. With out snow they look smaller. Their main / beards really show up against the white background of snow.
... thats a good feeling when your chores are done ... winter will set in soon enough ... blessings on you and yours Bison too ... here's to a healthy 2023 ...
Ahhhb Dunbar and his playfulness. It's good to see Eleanor. Big Joe was rocking that new look with the hay. Work is never done there. Just stay safe. Look forward to clippings of the Bison in the snow.
Looking at all your bison now, and seeing your level of confidence and knowledge is cool, as I'm remembering your original herd a few years back. You've come a long way and have much to be proud of. The hay all over Big Joe's head and face was hilarious. I'll be visiting Oklahoma City mid March from the west coast and will be ecstatically happy simply knowing I'll be in the same state as your bison! They're such beautiful and magestic animals.
We have had very little snow this winter but a lot of rain. I'm hoping for at least one good snow. I know I'm in the minority but I like snow in winter, one that stcks around for a while. I love watching the bison in the snow. They love it.
Hello from Ohio! I feel for you... Winter work in the cold is not easy! I was watching Jackie and it looks like she is pulling on her left ear. I have had several labs with ear issues. You need to catch it early. Could be ear mites ao excess wax. I am not a Vet but lots of experience. I clean my Bonnie ears twice a week. It's hard to keep up with. Thank you for sharing. I look forward to seeing your vid🥶🥶🥶
Hello from Ottawa, Canada! I prefer the 6" (15 cm) of dry snow we're getting to the cold rain you're getting. I always enjoy your videos. I like that you explain why you do certain things and sharing so much information about bison. Keep it up!
We'd take dry snow here in Southern Oklahoma any day over the rain/freezing rain/sleet/ice that some are forecasting. I'm praying we get snow instead of all the ice. Major ice storms causes major power outages.
Good video Dusty. You need to get a spring harrow like Daniel has to drag around the pasture to break up the cow pies. It’ll help break them down and fertilize the pasture. Just a suggestion based on what my family does in the Midwest.
I think a good solution to the gate issue would be to build a lane between the pastures. You could drive down the lane without having to drive through the animals in pastures 1 and 2 to get to the rear pastures. Also you could use the lane to move animals between pastures and up to the barn if needed. It would also put a buffer between pastures so you wouldn’t have to worry about a couple of animals fighting through the fence. The ideal situation would be to have lanes between all of the pastures when you get the whole 189 pastured in but that would require running twice as much fence and we all know that would be expensive.
I’m glad you’re really looking into getting a cube feeder. Safety is important. Drive safe, stay warm. The herd is looking great, love Big Joes hay hat! Silly guy.
Great video Dusty as always !! Great seeing all the Bison , love to see their hoppy run .. it’s so funny ! It is getting to be a challenge for you with all the Yearlings and Big Joe herd ! It’s hard to watch both sides of the truck , I hope you get a feeder soon ! Be safe and Blessings to you all ! Big Joe adding to his Fro with Hay was to funny !
Love seeing the bison. I share what I've learned from you. Most people are very interested. I tell them to watch your channel. I try to tell everyone about the cow who died from eating new growth from plants during the drought. So far, everyone was very interested and had no idea that a plant could guard itself by growing poisonous leaves.
Wow a lot of hard work today. With feeding Bison. Opening and closing gates on a cold winter day. Ranching. The Bison we're waiting for you . They were actually good very cooperative with voice commands and acknowledged your commands properly. That's great Job! They were peaceful as well . Yet got to feed different herds makes for strategy planning to drive and gate tending and then also to less herds to where you need them to move to . Avoid injuries also. Time management for cold weather conditions changes as well . The chicken s were probably cold weather conditions less eggs maybe a suggestion also enclosure with thick clear vinyl tarp's attached to their cage to allow sunshine and view open yet warmer from breezes . Yet accessable to yard for exercise . And maybe a timer heat lamps also for night light for them to have extra heat as well. May help with egg production count increase . . IAM sure at local hardware store supply pre-measured tarps. To clip on secure to chicken cage as windy days happen . I think that may help with egg production.😊 . My aunt and uncle use to own a chicken farm in Arizona that's how I know . . Of course it was larger scale . But for your general size . That may help you out for snow weather. No stress to fix and not that expensive. As well. I hope I helped you out with that issue. Happy egg collection use a basket . 😊🙏👍All will be good. Have a warm and happy snow days.
How about getting a hay squeeze attachment for the back of your flatbed, then you can unroll the bale as you drive your truck. You could still have the cake feeder on the flatbed right behind the cab. 🤷♀️ I've seen both these being used on other channels to feed hay and cake 😘
Dusty, that was a bit on the scary side, walking through everyone. Even though they are yearlings they can take a wild hair and decide to challenge you. I am thinking a free standing moveable panel to make an alley way seems a safer option for everyone. I know you are really looking forward to when you can get all those improvements done that will make your job easier as well as safer. Hugs from N.C..❤️
Use a decoy with someone else in the utv if possible. A double gate system where 3 pastures meet could work, and have a battery powered gate for transfer crossing only. Stay safe
I miss the smell and the sound of rain. The Bison and myself will have to wait till April to enjoy that in my neck of the woods. Bison are built to take on the snow drifts and sub-zero temps in stride they are incredible, as a human old fart living like me in a human comfort world I still can`t take it. hahaha
Maybe try a cattle gate on the ground where the gates are ?? I was amazed as a kid seeing one at my grandparents farm. Pretty much 75 acres of fence around the farm except a 10 ft. cattle gate that they never would cross!!!! Makes a good alarm for people coming down the driveway as well!!!!
Much as your ideas are coming to fruition, you must remember personal safety. It is very easy to over trust your stock and it only takes one to have a bad day, knock your door off and things can go very wrong. It is great to watch you and the bison trying to out think each other. Will the dogs distract the bison when trouble occurs? Keep safe, enjoying that snow. Can you make up some of the extras for your truck yourself.
I love that they come to you with enthusiasm! Yes, while you have the cubes, they know that you love them too! I love visiting your family and Herds! Great job Dusty! How is Belle Star doing?🙏🙏🙏
Have you looked at solar powered gates? They have them on the estate next to me and they work in dreary England all year round, perhaps you could have a box type fence between pastures to cut down the effort of keeping them apart?
Really great videos. Thinking about the gate, if you used a split gate, each side of the gate would create a barrier as you drive through. Extra cost, but could simply your entry and exit.
😂Big Joe looks like an old fashioned punk rocker from the 80’s! 😂. Yes, I’m showing my age but it is what it is. 23:20 ⭐️⭐️Dusty you are so independent in your chores and things to get done I have to admit I agree with one other follower about being curious if someone knows exactly your plans are and where you’ll be. I live with a very determined, hard-headed, I can do it myself husband and I’ve always loved him for not being afraid to take on or try anything. I retired from Federal nursing and he retired from big-ticket sales and traveling. We were both fortunate to have been able to plan and retire early due to being frugal as heck. His first chore was painting the house and next was trimming some trees. No way was he paying an expert for the trees. We both paid for that one. I took an afternoon nap and specifically said no trimming until I’m up. A branch came down and took out the cable to the internet. He put the large extension ladder against the house and all he had to do was run the cable and twist that o-ring into the house, the top peak of the house. Halfway down he missed a step and landed on his right side fracturing ribs puncturing a lung and completely breaking the entire head or ball off the femur. Wife is asleep, phone?, what phone?? He drug a wrought iron side table up to him and drug his body to the back door which thank God he’d left open for the dogs. I hear all heck breaking loose and screaming. Jumped up and finally realized what happened. He was going into shock. Called our nephew who is an anesthesiologist and he just happened to be close by and almost before I changed clothes he was making calls and getting him into my SUV and flew out of here with flashers and honking. Told me to turn mine on and keep up. Turned heat and his seat warmer on high as his teeth were chattering and full deadly shock was setting in. ER was outside and waiting. He was in surgery in 2 hours and had I not had help I can’t imagine. Basically, I just never want Marissa or your Mom to ever walk into a situation like I did. Despite being a Critical Care nurse it’s entirely different when it’s a loved one. Skills kick in then you fall apart later. It totally wipes out plans and financially sets things back or could cause bankruptcy. Please consider a back-up cheapie phone or those long range walker talkies and never get out of your truck or whatever your in without one or the other.
Wow....thank God things worked out well in getting your husband to the hospital.....we both know that situation could have turned south a whole lot more if you weren't on it. Guys don't always get it....when Mama speaks.....they need to listen! Dusty....take heed here....please! Cricket knows what she's talking about.
Hi,at the gates in the paddocks,if u built a secure double gate enclosure just longer than your usual vehicles used for feeding out,u would create a manageable ,safe operation to progress from one paddock to the next,and making it very difficult for animals to access the next paddock.Cheers from NZ
I love this rainy day. My dad used to take me with him and we’d feed the sheep hay and cake…pellets of alfalfa…and I’d drive the truck while he tossed off the hay and cake.
I love seeing Charlie the barn cat. He is so adorable. I wish he were my cat. I hope you will keep stopping by to see him with the camera so we can see Charlie the cat more. He's almost my favorite critter on your ranch. I like the cattle dog Mia too. Didn't see Thor today though. Hope he's staying home more.
I would say perhaps make kind of a lock? You know like boats go through from one lake to another? that way you can protect yourself and prevent them from scooting into another paddock. It would take up a little bit of space between pastures at the point of the lock and it would take more fence panels, but the peace of mind and protection would be worth it.
It's clear you have a special place in your heart for Elenore. Super sweet. Please tell again how you came to have her in your herd. Wasn't she full grown when you got her? Just curious, the stars aligned that day for her. Can't imagine to many would take a chance on her.
Hello Dusty, awhile back now I was reading my news letter from the MOBA and it was discussing the collaboration with OBA coming up and low and behold there was the name of the OBA VP. You never mentioned that you are the VP of OBA!!!! Congratulations on that position!!!! I hope you can get some good footage of that upcoming event!!! Paul St Louis
We have had rain, rain, rain and some more rain in Stockholm. To destroy Agriculture. We cannot have our Horses out on the WET fields. 2 days of minus 10°C and then +2°C 24/7 and rain for 2 weeks. Then 2 days minus 10 and always it gets 10 degrees WARMER AT NIGHT. 6 times this Winter. Manmade. Weather Modification Warfare. Thanks for all your lovely videos of Yous amazing bisons.
What was fun to see who would challenge you. Need to update truck sooner than later 🦬🦬. Thanks for video and can't wait until we see them play and roll in the snow. 👍 Blessings to CTB 🙏
Hi Dusty. Great video I have watched yall from the beginning and love how you have grown. Your confidence is so impressive. Big Joe is awesome. God bless and love yall 💖💖
I love Big Joe with his hay highlights….and he did nt even have to go to the barbers!!! They are so smart …they watch your every move and you can just see they re trying to out wit you😮
Maybe look at an "air-lock" type setup for the sections where your pastures converge Gates and fencing at the convergence. That way you could drive in and only have to clear a small area before opening the next "lock". So you don't have to worry about running out to keep bison from another pasture.
always a joy to see your hard work and your reasoning behind doing it better both for your safty of you and the animals!! Happy New Year and this oldster will always start her morning watching your efforts! Take care be safe and blessed! If ever win the Lotto, you are getting automatic gate openers all over your 80 acres !!! Hugs! Frrom the Pacific Northwest!
They know who supplies their food. You have a unique way of moving your herd. Cubes!
I always love to see what kind of day farmers have when it comes to taking care of their animals. Animals need to be fed no matter the weather.

Rain...snow.. sleet..moisture so much needed..grass going to be popping soon
Pretty watching the bison galloping over the hill.
Watching you take that extra little bit to ensure Eleanor gets some goodies just warms my heart. I love how much love and time you try to give all of your animals.
😊 thank you
I pray for your safety as you continue to work with these beautiful beasts! God bless you and your family!
Keep ranchin dusty. Love the bison in the snow they look more majestic or regal to me. With out snow they look smaller. Their main / beards really show up against the white background of snow.
... thats a good feeling when your chores are done ... winter will set in soon enough ... blessings on you and yours Bison too ... here's to a healthy 2023 ...
I love seeing the bison run, especially when they have all feet in the air and rhythmically hop across the field!
Here it comes now! Good work! All happy.
Watching these Bisons run along with you is like watching little kids trying to sneak up ahead to beat you to the open gates ahead. Its cute!🧐✨😉🥰
It’s really cool how you remember their names.
Love seeing all the bison. Such magnificent animals.
You really need to be careful! Walking around them is pretty dangerous! Please be safe! Thank you for sharing.
Sounds like a good idea getting a flat bed.
Amazing large animals with a tiny cute tail it cracks me up lol
I love seeing big snow flakes and glad to see some green out there.
Ahhhb Dunbar and his playfulness. It's good to see Eleanor. Big Joe was rocking that new look with the hay. Work is never done there. Just stay safe. Look forward to clippings of the Bison in the snow.
Big Joe made himself a head cover 😅 - how you keep track of who is who is amazing. Love your videos and thanks for sharing.
Thanks. Like the way you take care of your animals. ✌🏻👊
You have my heart. Making sure Elenore got cubes unmolested by the bigger girls.
He always treats her.
Looking at all your bison now, and seeing your level of confidence and knowledge is cool, as I'm remembering your original herd a few years back. You've come a long way and have much to be proud of.

I'll be visiting Oklahoma City mid March from the west coast and will be ecstatically happy simply knowing I'll be in the same state as your bison! They're such beautiful and magestic animals.
You could stay at his cabins if you’re close enough. I’d love to do that! Maybe someday 🤔
Hi hi!! Where's Thor? I see there is Jackie now. Maybe you have brought on another. 😊
I was just thinking the very same thing a week ago.
@@deborahpetschel5633 Thor is at another part of the ranch.
@@Cricket2731 I think I'm remembering now! He kept running away to visit the neighbors pup, so they moved him??
We have had very little snow this winter but a lot of rain. I'm hoping for at least one good snow. I know I'm in the minority but I like snow in winter, one that stcks around for a while. I love watching the bison in the snow. They love it.
Thank you all you do, beautiful animals. Love the way they run.
Love watching you out feeding the bison. They sure can be a handful. Good luck getting the new bed on your truck. GOD BLESS Y'ALL.

The panel idea for the gates sounds like a very good idea.
For safety, you may eventually need a separately fenced alleyway you can drive through to get to all of your pastures.
Was thinking that 2
I agree with you but, Young folks don't need safety until someone gets hurt. They just don't listen
Great hairdo Big Joe, he looks so handsome!!
Good video Dusty. You need to get a spring harrow like Daniel has to drag around the pasture to break up the cow pies. It’ll help break them down and fertilize the pasture. Just a suggestion based on what my family does in the Midwest.

Hay bales and hand feeding "cubes" are not cheap either. He needs more land (also not cheap) for the number of bison he already has.
I’m glad you’re really looking into getting a cube feeder. Safety is important. Drive safe, stay warm. The herd is looking great, love Big Joes hay hat! Silly guy.
Amen!
I've got blue heelers and it's true what is said about them. They will bite at your heels
Never realized what you went through daily . WOW. Much respect !
Farming/ranching is a 24/7 job. Theres never a day off unless one has competent, reliable help to stand in for you.
Marissa is BRILLIANT!!!
Great video Dusty as always !! Great seeing all the Bison , love to see their hoppy run .. it’s so funny ! It is getting to be a challenge for you with all the Yearlings and Big Joe herd !

Lol I love Big Joe's hay wig 😄 You should make that image into a t-shirt 😉
I agree a cake feeder is what you need for your safety ! God Bless ❤
Thank you for another great video; it’s always interesting/fun to watch the bisons different personalities.
Good to see the beautiful animals!!!
Always love ranching with you at CTB and seeing the herds.
We are getting rain here in East Texas. I love that we will be able to see the bison in the snow. Stay safe Dusty.
My family in Central Texas are getting rain, too!!!

Thank you for sharing the bison with us and your adventures with them
How about getting a hay squeeze attachment for the back of your flatbed, then you can unroll the bale as you drive your truck. You could still have the cake feeder on the flatbed right behind the cab. 🤷♀️ I've seen both these being used on other channels to feed hay and cake 😘
I love Jackie and Charlie is such a little kitten doesn't seem to grow much. So cute! Oh silly Big Joe! Stay warm Dusty.
Dusty, that was a bit on the scary side, walking through everyone. Even though they are yearlings they can take a wild hair and decide to challenge you. I am thinking a free standing moveable panel to make an alley way seems a safer option for everyone. I know you are really looking forward to when you can get all those improvements done that will make your job easier as well as safer. Hugs from N.C..❤️
Use a decoy with someone else in the utv if possible. A double gate system where 3 pastures meet could work, and have a battery powered gate for transfer crossing only. Stay safe
Big Joe has a hay hat in preparation for the snow!😂 what a wonderful sight!
I miss the smell and the sound of rain. The Bison and myself will have to wait till April to enjoy that in my neck of the woods. Bison are built to take on the snow drifts and sub-zero temps in stride they are incredible, as a human old fart living like me in a human comfort world I still can`t take it. hahaha
Wow, you had your hands full. Snow should be pretty.🤗
Thanks Dusty! Y’all stay safe!!!
Maybe try a cattle gate on the ground where the gates are ?? I was amazed as a kid seeing one at my grandparents farm. Pretty much 75 acres of fence around the farm except a 10 ft. cattle gate that they never would cross!!!! Makes a good alarm for people coming down the driveway as well!!!!
Much as your ideas are coming to fruition, you must remember personal safety. It is very easy to over trust your stock and it only takes one to have a bad day, knock your door off and things can go very wrong. It is great to watch you and the bison trying to out think each other.
Will the dogs distract the bison when trouble occurs?
Keep safe, enjoying that snow. Can you make up some of the extras for your truck yourself.
I hope someone always knows you are there and you have a fully charged phone and an emergency medical supplies just n case🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Maybe a “I’ve fallen and can’t get up “ button!😂
I love that chewing and checking the surroundings and back the other way.
Man, when you get out of your truck and walk among those bison-I worry for you❤
Me to.please don't do that again.that scared me 😮😮😮😮😮
Love the hay rain hat on Big Joe 😄
Thanks for sharing and everyone have a bless day.😍😍😍great of seeing the bison doing good.hugs and prayers everyone stay safe😃😃
Good evening from Syracuse NY everyone thank you for sharing your adventures and your herds
New York also, Rockland County.
Hi my friend
Wonderful updates, thanks Dusty 😊👍
The Bison in the snow is beautiful. Just seeing it snow is a treat. We don’t get snow in LA (Lower Alabama ). Keep on Ranchin ✌️😊
I love that they come to you with enthusiasm! Yes, while you have the cubes, they know that you love them too! I love visiting your family and Herds! Great job Dusty! How is Belle Star doing?🙏🙏🙏
Have you looked at solar powered gates? They have them on the estate next to me and they work in dreary England all year round, perhaps you could have a box type fence between pastures to cut down the effort of keeping them apart?
I could watch the bison all day ❤ they are fascinating. You have amazing confidence with them.
Snow! Cold! Winter! Good to see some moisture.
Thanks Dusty, stay safe and warm 🙏🙏

Dusty, it looks like you are almost out of hay at the Ponderosa, too.
Be safe. Please.

I love all your bison ❤ Eleanor is special to me cause of all she's been through!😊
