    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.

    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!

    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....

    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.

    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?

    • @BrokenArrowBison
      @BrokenArrowBison  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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!

  • @jimrogers2533
    @jimrogers2533 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

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!

    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.
