    Dusty, not sure if you know, but buffalo hair makes amazing yarn. I’ve spun up quite a bit in the past.

      Oh, that sounds interesting. Was it some of your own? What are the qualities and uses of that yarn?
      I am playing with spinning after a lifetime of needlework.

    Bison are incredibly resilient animals, hiding their sickness until it’s almost too late! 🦬 Watch until the end to learn what the signs of a sick bison are and how we use a dart gun to keep our herd healthy! Have you ever seen an animal hide their sickness? Let me know your thoughts in the comments!👇 #CrossTimbersBison #BisonHealth #RanchLife

      It's not just bison, all animals are like that. They avoid showing weakness and illness because the predators look for the signs of that.

    Fewer darts & Charcoal Charcoal Charcoal - a natural & a cheaper alternative 👍
    Charcoal is a natural De-Wormer.
    It was available upon occasion to the free bison, after fires.
    Nothing in nature goes to waste.

    Hey Dusty, worked in healthcare for most of my career and a little tip “pull the syringe back some and inject air into the bottle then you can draw out the medication out easier. ❤

      Stick a sterile needle in the med vial and it will vent it too.

    • @nancy-katharynmcgraw2669
      @nancy-katharynmcgraw2669 Месяц назад +17

      While the syringe is in the air, is when you pull back the syringe to 0.5 cc, then insert it into the sterile top of the bottle.
      Next push the air into the medicine, then pull back the syringe to draw back the medication dose. So, now you have equalized the air pressure inside of the bottle.
      Retired RN.
      Great job.
      Also, once you have the medicine into the syringe, the needle needs to stay clean...so, when you place the loaded syringe down, the needle is not to touch the track bed, or plastic or cardboard. If you lay the syringe down on a flat area, the needle should stay untouched!

    Dusty, have you tried feeding pumpkins? Many ranchers claim it deworms bovines. With pumpkin season upon us, it might be worth feeding.
    In your climate, they are very willing to grow wild. Chickens also go bonkers for them.

Also, 2 absolutely beautiful horses 🐎 I miss not having any myself. Use to have 4, as I use to show my Appy. Like you I pretty much broke him myself, they were so much fun. I hope all is well with the family ❤❤❤ So happy that Emily got to go home. I think it will really help her recovery. Thank you for sharing parts of your life with us. I throughly enjoy every video & keeping up with all the animals & the family. Sending my thoughts, my prayers & love to the family. Until next time, please take care, be safe & God bless 🙌 🙏 ❤️ ❤❤

    If you want to draw meds out of a vial you should push in 1cc of air into the vial per cc of med you want to draw out. Makes drawing the med out so much easier, you barely have to work at it. I've never given bison a shot but I learned all about IV care and how to do shots when my son was younger.

      I’ve always been fond of the buffalo and its history with the early native Indianas . They were life-lines to so many early settlers too, but with no control America almost lost them until the government stepped in to set rules, and people as you, Dusty fell for their continued existence . Thanks so much for you,Melissa, her parents and family for operating this Bison Ranch. You are getting better with using that dart gun now! Parasites and the south’s hot weather hold raising the bison. Interesting that only here that parasites are an issue. 🇺🇸❤️🦬🦬🦬🦬🦬🦬🦬🇺🇸❤️

    Another tip is to place the needle cap (for the drawing up) on a surface and scoop it up. Less likely to get an accidental poke. Whenever I see the bison all scraggly I dream about brushing them. Silly I know. Love when it’s time to remove our horse’s winter coat.

    So when the bison ranged freely in the plains was the parasite problem handled by the fact that they went north and didn’t stay in areas like S OK or was it less of a problem because there were just less parasites found in the free range prairie?

    Your horses are so beautiful. We had 3 horses on our farm. One day a circus broke down in front of our house on the highway. The next day we found a shetland pony - obviously from the circus. We had no idea where the circus went. That is how we got our 3rd horse. It was really mean. Only horse that ever threw me into a barred wire fence. I had to get a technus shot! It also would bite. My little sister was a great horseman. She could get one horse to walk on it's back legs and the other one drank from a coke bottle. My Dad named the shetland "Short Legs". He bit Sandi one day and she turned around and bit him back. He never did that again!
    Now I am going to tell you a wild story. Ready? Sandi passed away and went to heaven. One day I was up in the Courts of Heaven praying - I looked up and there was all my family that passed away. My parents and two of my sisters. Sandi was standing in the back with a Dapple colored horse. She said, "Beckie, do you know Jesus' horses fly? I ruined her thunder and said "Yes". Animals go to heaven! I have seen my two Italian Greyhounds. So people who greive their pets' deaths will see them again - like your baby calves. Angels take care of them. I told you it was wild. i don't expect you will believe me but ask God - He will tell you. Your Mom knows me. Ask her what God told me about her. I am wild and just decided to believe everything God says in His Word. It is actually in the Word. I love your family so much. I will meet you someday. Maybe you know this already but if you don't, I am not offended. God is good!
