What a delight for this wholly ignorant viewer to learn and enjoy. The father and son are admirable and to be appreciated and envied. Keep-on keepin’-on
Noah, this is one of your best videos to date. The background information given, the drone footage shown, and the depth of knowledge of these gentlemen came to the forefront of the video. This is an excellent documentary of modern day buffalo / bison ranching. Thank you for all the effort, editing, and time you put into this video. 👍🦬👍🦬
you are dead on with this comment. Lovely to see others appreciate all the hard word these ranchers and documentarians do to bring light to this wonderful animal...my favorite animal to see while I am bicycle touring out in the west. I have ridden my bicycle through the Tetons, and Yellowstone and up in Northern Montana through Glacier NP and I never get tired to see this majestic creature. In the near future, I will take a trip through Nebraska and Kansas to see more of this amazing creature. So awesome to read comments like this.
That is the best looking handler, the description of process looks like it is a good way of dealing with the herd. The gentleman did a very good job of telling how the process he works. They do an excellent job of management of the land as well the Bison. This would be a good ranch to try to emulate to be successful.
Thank you Noah for this wonderful video. These gentlemen are so knowledgeable, informative and just down to earth in the information they present. It’s a very common sense approach to raising these awesome animals. Keep up the good work and looking forward to seeing YOUR heard again.
Great video!!! I really like these guys. Thank you for continuing to interview multiple ranches. The information alone he offered about the changes in the pasture land over time is priceless. I'm in Iowa and in the last 25 years I've watched fertile crop land being developed for housing. One of my goals is to find one of these tracks before developers and keep the beauty of this area but improve it with a small herd of my own. Building my savings for this exact reason. Watching you and Heidi work your land, and learning more and more with each one of your interviews keeps my dream alive. For that I sincerely thank you!
Hi so great to sit and enjoy these beautiful bisons. Nice work guys and i hope everyone is feeling ok . Noah great content and channel thanks for sharing. God Bless You all.
This is one of your best interviews to date!! Thank you for putting this together for us. SO much information! It KILLS me every time they get to talking about the social structure of bison and cut it short with "I could talk about that all day." PLEASE DO! I want to know! 😭🤣
what an amazing documentary this is and what a wealth of knowledge this father and son duo have. I really appreciate all their knowledge and willingness to have a discussion into how they are working with this amazing creature and how they want to live this planet better for the next generations while understanding how vital it is to conserve such an amazing creature...for all the things that people complaint about the lack of goodness in the current society...these gentleman' are the standard to what I believe makes this the greatest country in the world. Great people working for such a cause to preserve the heritage of an amazing animal that has had such a positive influence in the Great Plains for thousands of years. Hurray to them ad hurray to the people who bring these programing that is fascinating, educational and inspiring....
Not only magnificent but a most peculiar animal. It is heart warming that they are such companion oriented. Just makes ya love them more. And what a wealth of Knowledge from Black Kettle Buffalo Ranch!
Wow! Their grass looks a lot better than Dusty's at Cross Timber Bison. His is so parched in a drought. Looks so different. Enjoyed seeing another bison rancher.
Awesome choice for an interview Noah! Dick and Reese are so helpful and knowledgeable!! Always willing to help or answer questions I’ve had tons of questions for Dick from before we started, to present and never fails to get back to us in short order. Really can’t say thank you enough! Great video!
Fascinating, I wish I could hear more of the Gehring Wisdom n Knowledge. I didn't find a youtube channel for Black Kettle. Really awesome Intervuew. Appreciated all that was shared. Lots to consider. Thank youuuu all!
Look at that above belly high grass! Wow! What beautiful graze for those bison. I started eating bison by chance after cancer treatment made it impossible for me to eat beef any longer. I really missed beef in all sorts of foods. Since my beloved husband refused to eat beef if I couldn't we tried bison. A total and wonderful taste revelation! We love it and it IS sweeter than grocery store or butcher shop beef. Thank you Black Kettle Ranch for having the foresight to start in buffalo all those years ago and learn how best to grow the beauties that are BISON.
Loved the video Noah, Broken Arrow Bison is easily my favourite channel on TH-cam, lots of informative content and you and Heidi are a lovely couple. I look forward to watching each and every one of the video's. Much love from me in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 ❤️
I always found that right - you dont want to upset them and Dusty is learning that now - calm and collective horses are the same if he is calm Big Joe is calm
I’ve never watched a Bison 🦬 documentary a day in my life….. until now! Wow, what a joy!! The father and son duo are to be commended. I really enjoyed the Father’s commentary.
Great to hear the knowledge this man has , question does bison taste like beef and where in Missouri can we buy bison 🦬 meats or cow beef please let me know thank you
Nice drone video. Interesting how the Bison naturally aligned themselves in a circle with two in the middle. Were the more dominant animals in the middle?
This was an amazing interview. Your interview videos keep getting better and better. The Black Kettle Buffalo Ranch has a good handling system. I think it's one of the best that I've seen. It seems like it would create less stress on the bison. When you do these videos do you ever think to yourself, "This is something I'd like to try over at Broken Arrow Bison."? I think a less stressed animal would make for a better tasting meat product. Do. you have any thoughts on this?
Thank you Donna! Yes they do have a lot of knowledge! I absolutely do take a lot of mental notes from these other producers! Yes, a animal that has low or no stress has a extremely higher meat quality. Some producers take it a step further and do not work their animals and kill them in the field with a mobile processing unit. They say the meat quality is tremendous!
Woodland bison are huge compared to plains bison. If you ever get a chance a few of the woodland bison breeders have some seriously BIG bison that they sell semen from.
@@BrokenArrowBison I have an affinity for bison because of how hearty they are. I live in Iowa and have worked in about every state for construction. I’ve seen bison shovel 4’ snow drifts with their heads to get to grass. The fact they can push that much snow side to side with ease is just absolutely incredible.
Nice looking ranch that’s great seeing it turned back from farming. The best way to get those dormant seeds moving is to burn the land. The seeds are viable for over 100 years. The heat will help draw them to the surface and crack the shells. If it hasn’t been burned ever then you should burn 3 yrs straight and then once every 3 years it should be burned. This also clears all the debris from the last yr. most importantly all the burned material feeds the land giving it a jump start in the spring with an added 20% extra light from being cleared also. May be a good idea to collect the native Kansas switch grass seed and plant it in all the lower areas since it does well. Thanks to black kettle ranch for restoring the land. Every inch of prairie counts. This is a big deal the grass land has as many species as a rainforest, and traps carbon at extraordinary depths.
you have to understand that the grass you grow can be either sweet or salt etc Here is welsh lamb raised on a peninsula of sea water and the lamb testes after and is sought after by chefs etc and again your customer
Gotta listen to Neil Young's instrumental variations of "Home on the Range", tracks for the sountrack of the movie "Where the Buffalo Roam" 1980. The one with his vocal is awful, but the others are grand. Loaded up by "Neglected Trax". Off of a vnyl record (no cd issued) Great quality, though.
@@BrokenArrowBison Thanks. As my health deterioates much quicker than my age (65), I think back to those 2 years at Fort Sill ('76-'79). With all those 500 (at that time) buffalo free ranging in the beautiful Whitchta Wildlife Refuge and the endless hours I'd spend in the cab and bed of my pickup truck. Being among the Buffalo. I also spent many years in Kansas growing up on Fort Leavenworth. So both states, brought back to me in Iowa now. With such beautiful, colorful, landscape, with the georgous healthy, happy, Bison, which all of you guys take care of. Heals my heart and soul, to it's depths. I get your passion! My late parents were both born and raised in Buffalo, New York, so it's always been my totem animal, lol. Through the miracle of the Internet, I've come full circle to my old haunts! Thanks!
One of the great movies ! Heckuva job Noah, when is part 2 ? No problem there for animals to gain heat cycle, get pregnant and calf out healthy, the animals sure have some nutrition going on there. Most of what I see on youtube is malnutritioned animals, looking unhealthy and calving rates 20 - 40% which is just unsustainable
Lions, buffalo, and antelope are all found only in both Africa and Asia, therefore it is actually misleadingly incorrect to call a puma a mountain lion, misleadingly incorrect to call a bison a buffalo, and misleadingly incorrect to call a pronghorn an antelope, the Puma (Puma concolor) is actually more closely related to cheetahs (genus Acinonyx) and the jaguarundi (Herpailurus yagouaroundi), bison (genus Bison) are a genus of true cattle (subtribe Bovina) with the closest living relative of both the European Bison (Bison bonasus) and the American Bison (Bison bison) being the Yak (Poephagus grunniens), while buffalo are an entirely distinct subtribe (Bubalina) from the true cattle (subtribe Bovina), and the word "antelope" refers correctly and exclusively to the taxa Tetracerus, Tragelaphini, Hippotraginae, Peleinae, Reduncinae, Antilopinae, Cephalophinae, and Neotraginae of the family Bovidae, while the Pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) is the sole extant member of a separate family known as Antilocapridae, which is actually more closely related to giraffids than to bovids, making the giraffes (genus Giraffa), Okapi (Okapia johnstoni), and Pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) the only extant members of the broader superfamily Giraffoidea.
One of the best bison videos on TH-cam.
Thank you!
6:04 They're all looking for that mean old gal who likes to stick a horn in their rear" 😂 !!

They have done a great job.
Great story and understanding of ways to manage wild species like bison. Really liked their approach
Thank you Greg.

@@BrokenArrowBison That's great ! Anything over 90% after weaning in November is the ticket, then you're stylin . It's good to have 96% pregnancy rate

Eat bison. That encourages the farmers to raise more.
