    Dusty, as a retired teacher and counselor, I want to commend your teaching style! You've taught all your viewers so much about bison ranching. (I also love Mya's being at the ready with her stick, just in case)😃

    Hey there Dusty, I hope you're all well and good!
    A tip for reducing a great deal of spoilage when storing round bales outside is to only stack 2 rows of bales side by side in a row, then leave a minimum of 1 bales width, preferably 2, between the next 2 wide row. This allows the air and sun to circulate around the bales, drying them out, thus significantly reducing spoilage. 🐂👍🇺🇸

      @rstlr01 2 года назад +2

      Glad to see this comment, I was coming here to say he needed to add space between the round side of the bales. But your explanation is much better.

    It is so nice you have kept in touch with your students. I can remember my favorite teacher. Mr Bricco was my Junior High science teacher and I just loved him. Years later, I was at the public pool when my son was taking swimming lessons (he was about 5 years old). Mr Bricco was there with one of his little children explaining about the clouds in the sky. It sure brought back memories. Thank you for sharing this bit of your life with us. I don't think you jabber. You are so entertaining. It seems to come naturally. Also, I really appreciate your love and gentleness for your animals. Even Maya when she gets into mischief! It is so lovely to see you with Marissa and little Brooks. Please keep the videos coming.

    I just know you still need a baby cinnamon bottle feeder from time to time which I’m still throwing my hat in the ring😂. Now I can add making coffee, do filing in the new office and be the ranch watcher too! Don’t to forget to add a designated baby cinnamon bottle feeding room in that barn - I’ll need to close a door to corral that little baby - as a Senior bison lover I don’t run😂. Just love watching your growth from day 1 - a great adventure🥰

    Glad to see you using the brain and removing the hay.About 10 yrs age my cousin in mississippi had a trash fire going and the grass caught fire and spread to his barn.He lost everything he said he had about 100 rolls of hay stored for the winter. Even the barn melted it was so hot they couldn't put it out. Lucky everybody in the town pitched in and fed his horses all winter.

    Have you thought about where you keep your hand on and your machinery to go ahead and concrete that area one it would protect your hay better and give you a dry area for really dry area to keep it plus if you have to work on your machinery it's a dry area to work on it it's not going to be Dusty in there when working on it plus dry area for your feed that way you have the dry area for all of your feed you're not going to have to worry about it getting wet just a thought I mean once you get all your welding done then you can come back in and concrete that way it's a good dry area for everything for all of your feed and your hay and all your equipment and and you're already going to be concreting in your office area. It's looking great can't wait to see everything you do out there. God bless yall.

    Dusty, I lived in Garland for 8 years, and just moved back to Michigan 5 years ago…so you were teaching in Plano at that time. My former principal Boss from Liberal, KS I had just before that, was from Plano and tried to get me to teach there. Small world. I probably saw you at some time and never knew. 😂 Good luck with your dreams you have for the property and the bison. Sounds good. Looks good.

    I hope there is room in the office to set up a bed so you and your family can take a nap there as well as do your computer work. The Ponderosa is coming along! You mentioned putting up a fence along the road. Today my husband and I took a drive where I noticed people put up a wood rail fence along the road. They either stained it or painted it white. It was so pretty. I know that wood is so expensive now, but that sure would make the Ponderosa one fine place!

    hi Dusty.. first time commenting. Had my shop catch fire last march. in rebuilding I have done something you might consider. I have installed a complete bathroom and laundry room. one other thing I have spent many years as an electrician. sometimes it was required that I unroll coils of wire. this also works on hoses. count the turns of the coil that you have undone. turn the coil around so the next coils will be just the opposite direction. now count the same number of coils as you did the first few coils. each coil will cancel the other coil and your wires or hoses will lay straight. try it.

  • @petgranny194
    @petgranny194 2 года назад

    Airflow in the barn may be why the top of the center wall is open. You might want to consider hinging the metal you install so it can be opened to move air around during the summer heat.
