Thank you for all the hard work and dedication. It's people like you who preserve our past and leave a legacy for the future.
Thanks for breeding these bisons, I hope you succeed in bringing their numbers back. All the best from Australia
It would be a great success but man could u imagine a car hitting one on the highway 😢
@The Anthropologist _Forensic Beautiful but dangerous little critters.
Unfortunately there are plenty of bisons but not enough conservation land to support all of them to grow to what they one were. To many people not enough land.
Truly one of America's finest beauties.
Really enjoy watching these videos. Thanks. 👍
I love Bison
Прекрасные люди! Дай Бог здоровья!
Really wish they were not only 10 mins long.. wish they could be an hour long each.
Folk's can't Thank you enough for these amazing video's and for the insight into your life and operation.
What you do is so important and I wish you the very best always.
Subscribed to your channel.
Cheers, Pete
Have you guys thought about using a drone with a camera to assist with checking the herd to help cut costs?
Wow! Just amazing to watch your work strategy!
I love this big "cute" animal
this is the great historical video
I hawe hope the BISONS back to the grassland
Maby they will back in great numers like they used to.🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂
I love to see this work been done with the great provider
Hunted.
You want to know the amazing thing to me as a kid? All that hair on its head when I was a kid created a mystery of how its horned are shaped on its skull. I was curious if it had a water buffalo bone head top, or an actual long horn cattle design. I always had a suspicion it had a water buffalo design. Now as a adult I know it is a cattle design.
Aloha, G!,❤ Mahalo
If you think about it the land,the grasslands, the animals and the people all benefit from the bison
The bison increase plant diversity by carrying the seeds in thier fur,they help fertilize the plants,thier dust bathing areas help provide homes for gophers,ferrets,snakes and owls,in the winter they dig through the snow in search of grass which the pronghorn use for easy access to grass and the people benefit from the bison as they provide a delicious and healthy addition to any BBQ,dish,taco or pasta
Many people who are trying to loose weight or gain muscle benefit from the bison's high protein and high iron content.
Cool documentary
Wait a second
My grandfather made beefalo Charles goodnight.
The name given by the Spaniards to the bison in Texas and New Mexico was "cibolo" : Cibolo creek
Funy, in spanish they are call bisonte or bufalo.
bonjour. dans quel etat des usa se trouve votre exploitation. tres belle video . congrtulations. pierre france .
Really enjoy these videos. Y'all have similar country to what we have here (Amarillo Texas) how many acres per animal unit do u run in your cattle operation? Also do you have any wind generators? They are big down here and supplement the operation
Jeanie are the winters cold in Texas like the North West United States ?
This is still the southwest
Bison are thinkers.
laughable that he said their only income was from the bison sales. they have a huge fundraising machine and big money backers.
chad peterson can you explain that for me please?
just look up the nature conservancy on google. they solicit donations. they have huge financial backing from wealthy radical environmentalists.
chad peterson bro your an idiot.
Como é uma como dar uma fazenda nos Estados
Herd dogs work with Buffalo?
Generally no - as they tend to stand their ground when herded and stop moving. If you got the right dog that applied light pressure then maybe you could make it work but any traditional cattle dog has a high risk of getting killed. They've tried doing it before and found it just wasn't dependible enough to use normally
They're called bison not buffalo, the term "buffalo" refers exclusively to cattle that are included within the subtribe Bubalina, which is native exclusively to both Africa and Southern Asia, bison are native to both North America and Europe and are included within the subtribe Bovina.
How many bison herds do you have on the 4500 acre?
The bison are so half-wild, because the daily contact with humans is missing.
It is not enough just to feed pellets from a moving track to the Bison
or to loudly to horn, so that the bisons come to the car, the bison have long since found out that when the car comes, there is feed in the form of pellest.
Actually, a commercial bison attitude and that has little to do with conservation, but is just commercial.
1400 bison on 4500 acre are simply too many bison on the total area and in the long run this damages the negative ecosystem.
Yea they round them up to reduce the population so they can infact support the ecosystem instead of negatively affect it. That’s the whole point of this video
And are they 100% bison DNA? Or are they mixed with Cattle?
It only matters to purists which are evolutionary uneducated. All that really matters is that the healthiest, most fit animals produce the next generation.
@@peterm.eggers520 It actually does kind of matters with wild life preservation. With humans we can't apply the, "purist," logic here. With animals we need to a little. When you introduce new genes it introduces possible issues sometimes. It isn't a bad thing to mix animals though. It does help make the animal more strongly resistant towards health issues with the new stuff coming in. It's just that you sometimes have the negative traits brought in that can cause problems.
(Made up example: If you have a hybrid of a wild wolf and a domesticated dog, and decide to keep it as a pet you have an issue. You create domesticated animals through years of generational breeding. You are breeding out the dangerous or problematic traits out of the animal so it will be suited as a pet. When you mate with an wild animal you literally just introduced those long lost dangerous traits back into the offspring. In other words there might be a day where the dog sees something yelling, running, and screaming and suddenly it's biological hardware instinct compels it to pounce and attack. It is because in the wild this what triggers some animals to attack prey without thinking. Suddenly you have your dog attacking a little kid. I had a teacher to tell me as a child this happened to her son. If this mixing can sometimes cause possible problems if you choose to keep a wild and domesticated hybrid animal as a pet then you bet your booty there is something like this can happen in reverse. A hybrid is set out in the wild to be part of nature. However something happens and is causing problems for the species all because of this new foreign domesticated dog genes are introducing new traits. Traits that can make it ill suited or hurt it in survival. Do you understand the point I am talking about now? It is not bad for some mixing. It's what type of genes getting into the gene pool that could potentially cause problems for the species is the concern.)
@@sharkfinbite Thank you for your response. Many expressed genes are bred for or against by people breeding domestic animals and plants. If you do it badly, you are not successful. If you do it well, people will pay you for the animals and plants you produce. Simple.
One thing you don't mention is that every new organism has a some amount of mutations, the vast majority never expressing themselves in any observable trait. But some mutant genes do create a new trait in the animal, more often than not one that has negative effects causing death or a reproductive hindrance, causing the mutation to die out. Conversely, a mutation that is beneficial to the survival of the organism to reproduce future generations, gets locked into the gene pool, at least as long as the environmental conditions exist.
Mutations are always happening in every new generation, and can be replicated in time or independent geographic locations randomly. Survival of the fittest sorts the mutations out in to good and bad.
This lot started from the pures from Texas oklahoma and Colorado.
stunning ! i call this creature GOD and very tasty
Tasty? You're eating them?
We allow grizzly and black bears, elk, moose, wolfs, mountain lions, deer, coyotes and alligators to live wild on the land but bison don’t truly get to live wild on the land only in controlled herds in controlled spaces! Why??
Ma in italiano?
Instead of killing them when the number reaches above the stable number relocate them to areas where there extinct.
wow, being of Native American decent I would point out your lack of understanding of the whole issue of the Bison. You also fail to mention that few of the Bison today contain Bovine DNA and are not pure. I find that a box of green apples goes a long way towards moving them with little pressure.
46Rambo not true. V he video says they are pure bisons.
I am not an expert in Bison.
I am one half Semitic, of Jewish Ukrainian descent, and one half Caucasian, of German, Christian descent, from my parents. Only God knows, or perhaps a geneticist who would test me, would know exactly the many different human strains are in my DNA.
I don't think there are many people in the world who are PURE DNA, of what their ancestors were a long time ago. And, probably the same holds true of bison?
But, I will respect your heritage, and agree with what you say, in that the bison were mostly killed off by the end of the 18th century, and I think herds in Canada were actually replenished with some European bison, but I may be wrong.
Once again, we revisit that idea of DNA purity, which seems to mean so much to so many people?
DNA only tells you who you have in your background. Bison contains cattle DNA. That would be like a human and an ape having a child. Than bred that child back to humans the ape blood will show up in the DNA. So you need DNA that contains only Bison genes to be a purebred Bison. The DNA from them will also have genes from other members of the herd in them.
scott chadwick
Having bovine DNA in the herd is only a problem for purists. All species DNA changes over time to optimize to their environment. Sometimes the DNA changes dramatically in just a few generations due to environmental pressure or lucky positive mutation, sometimes the DNA, or at least the overall structure, remains constant for millions of years.
Purity of DNA is not important. Stripping out individuals that are not thriving in the environment leads to the best outcome over time, and a herd that is optimally suited to the environment they live in.
So Bisons are being domesticated now? I'm not basing on the video itself but there are few comments here that gives clue to me that they're being domesticated
Dukes son talks so annoyingly
First of all, a Bison is an animal and not a "high quality product"! You guys would'nt do all that with the Bison, if you can't get a lot of money out of it. Everything - even most of the wild animals are commercialized. A Bison is not an object, it's an animal. This should be understandable for everybody ... leaf the Bison wild ! They don't want to be commercialized ...
Leaf? Where did you graduate?
Do you eat cow and chicken? So is a chicken and a cow. I don't see you giving them a strong defense towards them like the bison. They have a way worse situation than the bison. The bison are not to the extinction level like once before. The reason why they aren't higher than 1% has nothing to do with the commercialization or human involvement right now. The last time I heard there is currently a big concern going on that I forgot the details about keeping the people from forcing them all to set lose and repopulate. I think it is something biological. They are intentionally keeping the population with held for the animal's safety and the beef industry too. (Apparently whatever it is will cause the normal none bison cattle industry get hit hard severely as a result.) The situation is a lot more complicated than you may realize. From what I heard too the government programs aren't really enough and the people commercializing these things are surprisingly working with the conservation and wild life protection because of the very issue I mentioned. If it weren't for them the bison's situation would be worse right now. You might not like the bison being contained but it is because of some very complicated issues going on right now. It's so complicated it makes these people advantageous for the fight to keep them alive.
As for cows and chicken. It makes you look like a hypocrite if you are yelling about the bison and not them and others too. I pray to God you a vegan or vegetarian, because if you are an omnivore.. omg! Did you not have the foresight of this conflicting with the logic behind the animals you eat. haha
If they're being farmed then its great. Greedy people exist throughout the world. If they can make sustainable money out of them, then, they wouldn't go extinct. It's a twisted way of conservation but I'll take it any day over extinction and maybe one day we could phase out these practices.
