I had a good chuckle this morning. Maya and the bison 🦬 are just too funny. Rain barrel to catch the water. And it be nice to help off set for future
Love the interaction with the bison. Big Joe's herd wanted to get up close and personal with us watching. Eleanor is such a sweetie. Thank you and family for sharing with us. Hope ya'll have a bless day. Love you guys.
Elenanor might be a sweetie, but keep in mind she can get ugly in about 2 seconds.. Bison should be given plenty of room... There can be personal interaction... but there is a limit to the trust issue with large animals...cows, horses, mules, also
@@CapnBubbaa I know. It can only take a second. Have a good day.
@@rhondabritt972 you would be amazed how many people don't get that.
THANK YOU!! I live in montana and we hear about bison "attacks" all the time. Makes me angry. People can be really dumb and think they're pettable. ☹️ These are wild animals! They're blessed to live on land like yours, being spoiled babies. Still very dangerous animals and should not be treated as pets. You're amazing and I love your page. 💜
Agreed... I've seen where they go right up to the animal for a picture, and then get all bent out of shape, when the WILD ANIMAL "attacks"... dumb...
They are so conditioned to you especially Big Joe, they are amazing animals and I love them I'm glad you are making the herd even larger, Maya needs to be careful because that bull does not like her. Keep warm and be careful, Definitely put a gutter in less mess, ❤️ Seeing Eleanor!
Hi Dusty, may I suggest you put up gutters that drain into tank and then goes into a large-ish trough which Bison can drink from . ? Love that the Bison want to "play" with you !
Very Glad you re-enforced education about safety around large unpredictable animals! RE: Drainage, yes put up gutters and capture water for use when dry season hits. Always think of safety and adverse conditions when making decisions about future structures, and plans. Keep up the good work, thank you for the channel.
Good morning, watching from N.C. love how you remind us that Bison are not to be taken lightly. They are powerful and deserve the respect of always watching your back when you are around them. Love your careful interactions around them. Be safe and stay warm.
Dusty I really enjoy watching Hoss & Maya taunting each other. I just hope Maya doesn't go too far one day and Hoss catches her. Love the one lady feeling good jumping, running & tail flying in air. Big Joe he came right up close too you. Glad to see Dunbar, Eleanor, Peaches, Flo, & rest of the herd. Good video Dusty.
Good morning! Love watching you interact with the bison. The romping activity…Hoss in particular.🙏🏻💕🙋🏼♀️
Morning Dusty! Very exciting to watch your video today and a great start to my vacation. I would have a tub catching the water off the roof. Rain water is good for the animals. Another idea is to get a huge rubber ball for the playful bisons. It'll keep them distracted from you. Also to video tape them playing with it. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us and be safe and healthy plus your family and friends. 👍 😊
Maya, Maya, Maya! Please be careful❤️ love watching all you do with these magnificent animals, Dusty! Thank You!
Re: gates and bison escape prevention
How about this?
1. Position the back of the skid-steer at an angle by the latch side of the gate.
2. Unlock the gate.
3. Back in, pushing the gate open with the skid-steer just enough to get through. This way, both the gate and the skid-steer are blocking the exit.
4. This has you facing the gate, so it should be easy to get out and close it with little or no bison interference.
If the gate swings both ways, you can do the same thing on the way out.
I hope my description is clear enough …
Re your new sheet metal, you could make the front of that barn that you need to cover in a contrasting color and then you wouldn't need to worry about the top and bottom matching. I'm sure you've seen walls done with two colors like this in houses. My first thought for a bottom color is some kind of grey. That could look good, but I don't know what other colors might be available. I'm always happy to see a new episode of Cross Timbers Bison come out! Thank you!!
White would look good as well. Being the barn is red&white colored.
Love your hat but you need a beanie on to cover your ears and insulated coverall buy once and you will have them when you need them this will not be the only year super cold.
On our farm in NC, we use gutters that drain into large reenforced plastic containers. They hold a lot of water. Keeping sunlight out prevents algae growth. Also running a drainage pipe with a grate on top will keep the area dry.
Dusty, I know you know your animals, but you have new ones coming into the herd. Please , don’t let your guard down. I was holding my breath when they started surrounding you when you were spreading cubes-just saying 🤷🏻♀️.
I really love your channel, and have turned several people on to it. It’s amazing what you have done in a short amount of time 👍.
Glad you talked about safety today. Sometimes it seems like you are somewhat complacent and getting too trusting of these wild animals. They are never completely domesticated.
Dusty, I enjoy your videos! Your videos are so much more entertaining than any TV show! Please give 32 A name.
I think the water catchment system into tank(s) would be best. Especially in years when there is less rain. You could see if you can find those big square (I think they are called ICB or something like that) totes & run pipe so when first one gets full it will run into next and so on. Last one can feed into a watering tank for the bison. Coz you never know when the rains might not come and for how long it will last.
I like the tank idea. As long as the tank is large enough. French drains also!
Harvest the water!
Blackacre bison ranch has a TH-cam channel. They installed large water tanks and put gutters on their barn.
Dusty and Marissa do all the work and we get to enjoy the bison fun and games.
Thanks you guys. ;)
Good morning Dusty, I love how you treat your bison 🦬 with such respect and kindness 😊
It is the same as with a bull and cow herd. Especially if calves are with the cows. They will turn on you in a second if the calf bawls at the wrong time. Been around many herds. You never turn your back on them.
There is siding that looks a lot like yours. Referred to as "5-rib". Maybe you already know. The 2 big box stores -- orange one and blue one -- both carry this. At least its orderable.
I love how the bison hop around and buck like the baby goats playing.
Thanks for sharing.
They love those cubes, enjoyed the video, thanks 💕
Watching always give me a smile..😊 Dusty look like you can use some new gloves to keep your finger warm.
Loved seeing Eleanor today and glad she got a little treat before the others figured it out. Great video, Dusty! Those tubs look like back killers and nail breakers to me!
Love seeing the bison. Eleanor is so precious. Hoss and Miah are something. Love how Big Joe just comes up to you as well as Eleanor.
I drove by the Ponderosa the other day. Your fence looks great. Can't wait for an invitation to come and meet you.
Thank you for sharing! Love watching these beautiful creatures interact with you but I have to admit I found myself holding my breath when you were walking amongst them. Whew! Respect both ways.
I had a French drain at my last house that was on a slope and it worked well.
When adding sheet metal to the barn rather than try to match the color of the existing metal, how about going with a coordinating color like a dark brown?
Hi Dusty never get tired of your videos enjoy them so much . Keep up the great job and the great video's 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Re: the gates - Spring load the gates so they close by themselves. Make a flip-over stop to put on the latch end of the gate so it will stop no matter which way it swings. A row of wheels at the right height on the gate would let the gate "roll" along the side of the vehicle so as to not scratch or hang up on it.
I helped my Dad work a few head of cattle back in the 50's so I have an idea of what you are doing. The technology is better now. Dad would be blown away!
Great to see Dunbar and his ladies again. They look healthy and happy❣️
You need a double gate system with an in between area you can safely pull into without the bison, and a second gate that can be pushed opened with your vehicle.
That is such a practical solution 👍!
The Bison are so fun to watch as they enjoy the cold!
Hoss is going to be as fun as Dunbar and Big Joe.
It would be good to be able to use the rain water with guttering or maybe another pond?
He’s a lot like Dunbar
Always nice to see Marissa out with you. Just the Munda in feeding is as nice to watch as anything else. Loved watching Hoss kick up his heels.
Dusty I like the CTB ranch vest. Will you have them on the website for sale?
Good idea installing rain gutter, however keep in mind that they can form ice dams. And I wouldn’t worry about matching the U panels with the existing ones.
Might check with gardeners in your area to see if they might like empty lick-tubs to do container gardening. Not sure if the structure in the center can be cut out or if it might be usable to run a watering system through. But I know I'd LOVE to find a farm that had some so I could have a larger container garden.
I'd love to see an update on the young at the original farm. We never get to see them.
You must be processing some of these animals to make a living, who do you use? I admire your care of the bison.
Dusty and Family thank you for sharing these videos love these bison. I can always find laughter in your videos. Have a great day take care be safe and stay warm. Kentucky girl.
Thanks for including his in changes and decisions! Knowing how dry it gets in OK, it would be wonderful to collect your gutter runoff for the Bison to drink, and you to use as needed. You are so conscious of the environment AND the bison, it would be helpful to capture the water for use!
Dusty i love watching you and the bison 🦬 while watching i just want to hug Big Joe, Dunbar and Eleanor but know i couldnt do that but i can hug them in my mind. Take care.
Wow, I really noticed a difference between Big Joe and Dunbar. Looks like Big Joe is bigger for sure. The herd looks great and your special care is what makes the difference. Supplements are always a good idea in harsher conditions like winter. Just as a guess.......I think Eleanor is bred. Not putting money on it but I have a feeling. I think Hoss has been hearing stories about Dunbar and he may be in the running for "clown" bison. Keep up the hard work. Good to see Marissa out with you and I missed Brooks.
Gutters and collect the water, you never know when you will need it. You've got a big roof and should get quite a bit
instead of trying to match the red, match the trim n turn your outside office wall into a feature wall with a giant logo on it. I would also suggest capturing the water n adding a basin for them to drink from. Rainwater is free. Maximize it.
When they hop around I crack up. They are such comedians!! I adore them!!
Good morning Dusty. Hoss is adorable.
I think adding a gutter with a rain tank is a great idea. If you have a drought there's your backup.
Those buckets need a handle or
Rope around the top to move it then remove.
Great job taking care of your animals. ✌️👊
Thank you for my Eleanor fix. You can't help but love her
Love watching the Bison running to you!
Dunbar was 😊 happy to see you. Those new ones have gotten use to you fast. The round supplement sounds like a molasses cookie for them. Enjoy the close ups 🥰
It seems to me that the Buffalo and Mya are p!aying. I love it. I think what you're doing is Amazing. Soothing and very Educational. God Bless your family.
Speaking from the age of a grand mom, Dusty, it only takes once to have a very catastrophic accident. It isn’t worth good video. It isn’t worth time saved, if you are left with a life debilitating accident. I saw it coming with the well known Steve Erwin. Love you and your adventure. All your words can’t negate the
G'day sir. I believe that a 6 inch eaves trough to a container or tub would be optimal. Fantastic stuff. And stay safe.

OMGOODNESS!!! I loved the ‘nose boops’ when the bison were checking out the camera! They are like kids in a candy store with the cubes!
Love how they interact with you, one can tell their happy, well done. Dusty.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😊😊😊🇬🇧
I really enjoy watching you and the bison. They are amazing animals. I'm all for collecting rain water or meltoff! It never hurts to have an additional source of water! Especially in the heat of the summer!
Love watching your beautiful family, you take such good care of them and your bison. Such a blessing to follow.
Catching that water is a very good idea. That could be very helpful durring the dry months. A tank is the best idea as the drought continues. It was good to see Elenor doing well. Not long and you are going to need to harrow that pasture.
sounds like you need a double Gate, Open 1 gate drive in close it, then you have another Gate open proceed go in / out, enjoy Watching Bison
just like kids, love ur interaction with ur Bison families love .stay warm ,safe much love to u n family janet
Back through the gate at an angle slowly so that you are close to the fence and go you only open the gate enough get your vehicle through than just enough to be to allow you to close the gate. My uncle did this with his cattle because they did the same as your bison did, it worked for him!
Makes my heart happy to see you with Big Joe he looks like he’s getting more gentle love your skid steer the horn is so cute love from Arkansas
Watching you with the bison,make you forget these are wild animals.
Water Capture system would be great idea and use the water for odds & ends, in. a pinch it could be used to water the bison
Great time feeding the bison, thank you 👍 it would be good to collect the water from the gutter in a tank, so you can use it and it's not wasted..
Definitely add gutters Dusty... let them flow into a tank for them to drink out of... love the videos!!
Id do a Gutter and a barrell to catch it and use it in the summer for an extra water source. Summers are so hot they always need water.
I'd like to see you install rain gutters that empty into "rain barrels" or empty into some sort of water trough for the bison to access. JMHO 🐾 🇺🇸 🐕🦺
From dry country myself, so saving all the water you can is top of mind for me.
Maia’s behaviour is similar to a coyote’s when they test prey looking for opportunities. Kind of a teasing threat. The Dakota calf being range raised probably is familiar with coyotes and is wary. It’s actually dangerous for Maia to be teasing him. He might just decide to really go after her and take out a fence in the process. I’ve seen it happen with cattle and bison are more unpredictable. You might need to be a bit firmer with her, especially around your Dakota calves, just to ensure you keep peace on the range. 😌
Hoss is funny, he has lots of fun, i noticed that he has darker hair than the others, is that because of where you got him? Eleanor looks good, keep up with your herd. Can't wait until baby's come this spring!!
You could go with white on the sheet metal match the trim, since its a partial wall. just an idea.
Your Bison look soo healthy and happy ! You do an awesome job with them . Eleanor is so sweet but my favorites are Dunbar and Big Joe such massive animals !
Eleanor is such a sweetie! :-) And Big Joe just wanted some petting, too. The bison licking the footage was hilarious, lol!
Could you catch the rainwater and drain it into a tank for the bison to drink?
I am fully ready for spring and I know you all are too. The bison seem to want to play with Mia and even you when you come there.. they know you have treats. I love to watch them and you working out there with them.
Collect the water and use it for the heard especially for dry summer heat
Boy, Hoss is so entertaining to watch. Really enjoy watching them bounce up and down on their feet. Big Joe is just the best. I know feed costs are going up too fast and most people don't realize how hard it is to sustain. So happy to see the "girls of Dunbar". Thank you for sharing your videos, it always starts my day off in a great mood.
Catching option would be the best especially during the dry season.
Give the barn an accent color... to identify it's an office. One that matches your logo. :)
My friend and I are watching this video literally on our way to visit a local bison ranch to get more info!
Awesome video love watching these amazing creatures.
Fun to watch, but intimidating as well. Can’t ever let your guard down.
We hand feed Bison in our area with permission and it's something I can't even put into words. Beautiful majestic animals. ❤️
You need to get some winter tyres. Cunkies. We use them in Scotland UK on our 4x4. Never looked back with the snow. 👍👍✔✔✔✔🌿🍃💚🍃🌿
The tank idea would allow you to have water stored against drought and emergencies as well as an additional water resource. You definitely need gutters and you might consider installing them before pouring the concrete so there aren't any moisture concerns from water runoff eroding soil next to the poured area or interfering with concrete drying time. As far as the skidster and the bison getting out, I know you installed the cattle guard across the gate leading to the road which should prevent them getting out there. Since they may be getting into other areas and you may have to spend time either sneaking in/out, is it enough of an issue to warrant installation of a two gate system so that if one gate is open they can only get to the next gate? Love watching the bison! They really cracked me up when they were sniffing the camera!
"We're waiting on our food human! Hurry up! " Those bison are just gorgeous. I grew up on a huge ranch on the Colorado/Wyoming border. My neighbor on the Wyoming side, had HUGE herds of bison. I am fairly certain he had several hundred head of 🦬 bison. I don't know if they still have a big herd or not. Our crop was red Potatoes 🥔. You are doing wonderfully, Dusty. You certainly take me back to my childhood. Have a very blessed day!
Thanks for letting me ride along with Ya!
Love Hoss & his hopping around love it!❤ Well now hello ladies nice to meet you! How's let's play football dad😉 hi Marissa are you staying warm. Take care kids & see you next time love you & God Bless you your whole family 💖🙏🖐🦬🦬
Catching water from the downspouts sounds like a great idea!
Big Joe is such a good looking bull !!! It's so good to see Dunbar, we don't get to see him and his herd enough!! Eleanor is such a Sweetheart! It good to see her with a few other bison, but she still doesn't like it when the whole herd comes around. It fun watching Maya teasing, I think it is Hoss. Just hope she just stays careful!! Hoss also likes to play with you!! THANKS for sharing the bison with us!! You and your family are So Neat!!!
I'm all for gutters and rain catchment! Water is a precious resource, especially during the hot, dry months, or for emergency use if something happens to your main water source like a line break before your property. Blessings, Texas Deb ❤️
We were Bison mobbed and vicariously licked! LOL Yep need gutter drain into a tank or in the pasture, both good ideas. From my perspective those Bison respect you. You are smart about raising Bison!
Dusty, come off the roof of the barn with a gutter, to a down spout. Instead of a flimsy down spout of tin, hang a chain for the water to follow down into a trough for the Bison. On the far end of the trough, connect via PVC or ABS line into a second trough. If needed, a third trough set up the same way. This way, before the first one overflows, it fills the second trough, and before either of them overflow, it fills the third trough. Or rather than that many troughs, you could use a 300-gallon holding tank and daisy chain them in like manner... depending on your annual rainfall calculations.
I love the way you work with your bison.They trust you. Looked soooo cold there.
Those lick supplement tubs, when empty, make great planters for flowers by your cabins, for an herb garden near your kitchen, or for root veggies-carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes etc-to make harvesting easier. Just need drainage holes drilled.
Definitely rain gutters. I have rain barrels at my house, but I don't get enough rain year-round here in California to keep them filled. Then, you need to deal with litter, & in your area, mosquito breeding reservoirs.
We calve angus cows, but on the edge of our barn we have 3" rock Where the water runs off the roof. We tried gutters but they filled with ice and came down the hard way. The rock just keeps from cutting a trough in the ground, the dirt was set to grade first. On short jonts we carry our tubs by the lip on top of the tub, just slide the forks out and pick the tub up that way.. As long as there short trips and no big bumps the carry fine. Enjoy the channel.
