Thank you for teaching us about a beloved Bison history and allowing us to love Big Joe! I never thought that my heart would feel joy about the fathering of a bison. You and your family have brought caring heart ❤️ My heart smiled this morning, thank you. Prayers for many little Big Joe’s in the future.
So glad Big Joe is alright! Hopefully this season the cows will be receptive of him. It’s awesome that Tyler wants to be the next generation to raise those beautiful bison too! Marissa’s flowers are just gorgeous! God bless y’all! ❤️🦬
Such great news about Big Joe!! Looks like his ladies like him fine now so look forward to lots of Big Joe red dogs next year. So great that Tyler could be there, what a fantastic learning experience! And thanks for taking us all along virtually.
So glad Big Joe has his stuff! Lol Those girls just don’t know what they have in Joe! Learning the background in testing was so interesting. Thank you for taking us along!
After watching this, I will not EVER complain again when I have to put one of our cats into a carrier for the 20 minute drive to the vet! I'm so very happy that Big Joe is not sterile! After cats, Bison are my favorite animals. Let me rephrase that. Cats are my favorite domesticated animal and Bison are my favorite wild animal. Bison are so majestic, so beautiful. Doc Parsons is a Great vet!
Lol! I go through that with my kitties too. Cats are my fav animal as well. Next time you have to use the crate, if you have a Pet Taxi hard crate, stand it vertically, and lower the kitty into the crate bottom first. It's a Lot easier than trying to shove them in when it's on the bed or couch.
Yay prayers were answered! Brought tears to me when u told the results. Big Joe probably thought what the heck was that all about. As always God bless stay safe until the next video ❤️ 😍
I’m so glad Big Joe is healthy! I’m a 75 year old female, retired military! I love watching your channel! Big Joe & Dunbar a Gods precious creatures! I’m so glad you are taking care of them!
So happy to hear about Big Joe's good test results.He is such a gentle giant.I know a force to be felt with on some days.I love watching all of your family on video's.Marissa's is flowers are very pretty!!She done a great job on them.Looking forward to all of your future video's and thanks for sharing your family and your Bison.
What a relief that must be! It’s great that you have some answer as to why there weren’t more babies this year. I am looking forward to seeing the next year of the journey! Blessings and Abundance!
All the ladies run to Joe when he got home. "Not today, ladies. I've had a rough day." 😎 So happy to hear that Joe's genetics will carry on. Great learning experience for Tyler. Successful day, all around.
Learned alot today! That makes so much sense about the ladies accepting him. So interesting. I know you hate working him, but from seeing from the first day you got him, this was the best loading he has ever done. you all made it look effortless this time. Congrats. And thanks Tyler for your help today. 👏
LOL thinking Big Joe may not be so eager or easy to load or get into a chute system next time after this vet visit LOL. Know it needed to be done but honestly not a pleasant thing to do or watch (went to school for vet tech and did these tests with the school vet on the schools dairy herd bulls).
So glad that Big Joe is ok. Sounds like Y'all learned a lot today. It was interesting listening to Doc talking about the Bison. Tyler got his feet wet in the world of Bison. Glad you had him there to help you with Big Joe. Looks like the ladies were happy to see Big Joe back home. Hopefully he'll produce more Red Dogs this season since the ladies are more used to him. Take care and stay safe out there. GOD BLESS Y'ALL.
I can’t tell you how much it means to me that you are 100% about taking care of these majestic animals and work so hard for the future of this species. I have always had a love and respect for bison.
I grew up on the farm with beef cattle in the Midwest and I love your videos. Keep up the good work Dusty. You work so hard your whole family. Congratulations on Big Joe's fertility test I know you must be very happy
Big Joe is so handsome. And ya kinda get the feeling he knows it lol So glad he's able to produce offspring! Looking forward to seeing all the red dogs next year! Thanks for taking us along. I didn't watch (when they put that big glove on I'm like nope, not watching) what they had to do but I listened. People aren't informed if they don't learn!!
Prayers were answered !!! Thank you Dusty for doing all that you can do to take of your animals . Big Joe did great .. gave a little show but I think he’s mellowing out . I’m so glad he is ok ... I couldn’t wait for this video ! Thank you Tyler for helping Dusty with the loading of Big Joe, you are getting an experience of a lifetime from information from Dusty and Doc ! They both know their Bison ! Can’t imagine what Big Joe was thinking as he was being handled in the squeeze shoot ! He thinking Hey .. they don’t normally do this to me !! Lol. Love Big Joe .. Thank you all for what you do with for the Ponderosa herd and the Dunbar herd !🙏❤️. Flowers are beautiful also !!
I'm glad Big Joe is all good and will be able to continue to produce for you and the farm.! I'm also glad it's being done here in the Great state of Oklahoma!!.. Thanks for all the good content you share with us all to enjoy.!
Praise the Lord!! I’m so happy to hear the great news about Big Joe!! I have been waiting on this video. Thank you Dusty for sharing all of this with us. I love your channel!! The questions that I had were answered by you and Doc Parsons!! Y’all done a great job getting Big Joe loaded and worked. I can’t wait to find out who is the daddy of the baby bisons!! The NABR is awesome!! Lol, you have to admit Big Joe worked you and Tyler!! Keep up the great work you are doing with the bison!! Sending my love to you, your family and the Bison. Always put God 1st!! See you on the next video!! 🙏❤️✝️🥰💖🤗💖🇺🇸🌸😁 Please let Marissa know that her flowers are so beautiful!! Thank you also for such a great learning experience!! I have learned so much from this channel since I first subscribed!! It’s been a great journey and I look forward to continuing this journey with you and your family and the Bison!! Stay safe!!
I suspect most of those born in the Dunbar herd will be Dunbar babies and most of those born in the Big Joe herd will be Big Joe babies. Funny how it seems to work out like that.
Hi Dusty. Flowers are beautiful. Great video and information about the bison. Thanks Doc. Big Joe was very cooperative with all that was happening. God bless and Love Ya'll. Congratulations on Big Joe 💖💖👍👍
Poor Joe! Did Joe need a magazine? Lol. I love the videos. I learn so much. Thank you for sharing your farm and all the things you do and your family with us.
hi to Cross Timber Bison and all others too. I hope everyone feeling ok and enjoy another amazing video of the chubby bisons. Congratulation Dusty excellent content and thanks for sharing ,everyone have a great and bless day.😍😍😍
Nice to see Big Joe a little calm! Love the History lesson! This Doctor is amazing! Congratulations Big Joe! Thank-you for wonderful experience! You’re so good at explanation!
Probably one of the best videos ever. The Doctor was informative, Big Joe actually I thought did pretty good considering in the beginning he had you climbing the rails. I’m glad Big Joe has lots of swimmer’s. Thanks to Tyler for helping & getting some good education. Like I said damn good video. Thanks Dusty.
Guys, HERE is Our Savior YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified for our sins, NOT jesus, and “HERE IS THE PROOF” From the Ancient Semitic Scroll: "Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3) Ancient Semitic Direct Translation Yad - "Behold The Hand" He - "Behold the Breath" Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
I am soo glad that Big Joe is fine ! I love the Big guy so much also Dunbar !! Great video nice to have Tyler there !! Pray he stays working with Bison !
What we all learned from Dr. Parsons . Thanks for taking us on this journey. Fantastic news of Big Joe. We are just as happy as you. From Roodepoort in South Africa. God bless.
So happy for you that Big Joe has great swimmers 😂. My Nephew up in Alberta Canada use to collect seamen from Bulls, it is a much needed part of ranching. Well done Dusty. It is great being a mentor to another young man who is interested in Raising Bison. 🇨🇦
Big Joe and Dunbar are both beautiful bulls. I'm certainly no expert on bison conformation, but they look to be very well conformed and an asset for improving the breed. Enjoy your videos Dusty. You're doing great work.
Hallelujah!! This I believe is one of your best videos!! I learned so much from doc too! So excited for joe too. I hope this goes viral!! From Montgomery al 🙏 ❤️
Unfrickin' believable how you were able to load that bull. Woozer! Great Job of bravery and skill.... Glad to know he's not shooting blanks. Great social animals. Thanks for sharing w/us
Dusty, that was such a neat experience to watch all the process of Big Joe to see the fertility procedure and the genetics. Good luck with the advancement of the lineage of Joe and Dunbar and the Cross Timbers Ranch.💕🙏🏻🙋🏼♀️
Happy 4 U and Big Joe, babies here we go. When my parents retired from beef and grain farming, they sold it to a guy who turned it into a Bison farm. Remember dad really proud of that. Don't know if there was any cow blood mixed in or who the farmer was, or even if its still running, but remember dad been super proud. Thank U 4 sharing ur farm and life.😄
Super educational and informative video keep up the great work young man and many thanks to Doc Parsons for teaching and showing the younger generation what it's all about and how to carry it on for many years God bless
Yay!!!!! Big Joe gets to stay with his ladies and babies 👶 ❤️ 💙 I was about to be upset if his checkup went opposite, yay again for The Big Guy!!!!!! Good Going Dusty....God Bless You 🙌 🙏
Thank you for taking the time to explain everything. You are great about covering all the little extras and making sure your animals are well taken care of. You actually make it look pretty easy. Even though you say you stress out when you have to work Big Joe ! You are hard on your self. Its fun to see how much you know about your bison. Your heart shows in every action you are involved in. Your future will without a doubt be great !
Did you tell Big Joe why you were asking him to be loaded? Maybe if he was told , he would have better understood the purpose of this trip...not kidding... just talking to him, possibly a few cubes... just askin'.
@Dusty I started watching your channel since almost the beginning. And I’ve been meaning to tell you, “Thank you for keeping the language clean!” I never have to fear allowing my grandbabies to watch the bison. They all love to watch and know most of the bison by name. So thankful Big Joe is healthy; he’s one of our favorites! ♥️🦬🦬🦬♥️
Clean language is important to me too, and I'm an old man. There is so much foul language out there these days that a feller has to watch his every word or find himself slipping up. I spent 20 years in the US Navy and didn't hear as much foul language as one does anywhere in public these days.
So glad to hear that all is well with the Big Guy! Thank you Dr. Parsons for sharing your wisdom with us, it's always interesting to hear about the genetics of bison. Good Luck with your school Tyler! I know you'll do well. Sending love to you all, from Memphis, TN!
Big Joe is a magnificent animal glad to hear that his blood line will go on for a long time . Great job I learned a lot about the Bison that I didn't know .Thank you Dusty for a Great video.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Loved learning about the NABR and how it helps keep the bison genetics. So glad Big Joe is good. The ladies were all so happy to see him. Thanks to Doc Parsons for all he does for the bison industry. Great video Dusty. ❤❤❤
What a fascinating, information filled video. Thank you for sharing. Thanks to you and Dr. Parsons for what you did for the American Bison. Such an important and beautiful creature. Thanks to Tyler for helping you as well. Here’s to Big Joe, go get those ladies!! Such good news.
Doc is such an informative person he’s still learning too. Great teacher. Tyler learned a lot today hope he enjoyed himself. Big Joe was cool dude. Ladies are just going to have to warm up to him. Stay safe. Flowers are pretty
So happy you got the good news on Big Joe This was a great video showing what's involved in working the big guy and all the interesting and informative facts while at the Doc's place. 👍 The way his ladies greeted him when he came home was 💞 Let's hope you will have many more red dogs in the future!
Joe is learning to run the shoot and transportation! He trusts you which is a beautiful thing to see. What a change since the first attempt to work Big Joe. Genetic testing is also important to avoid in-breeding!
I think Big Joe did a lot better loading and being worked this time - he is trusting the process more and more. Heck, we all feel the same way about going to the doctor for a check-up Joe! I'm glad he's fertile so he can sire some more awesome bison just like him!
AWESOME. I am so happy for Big Joe. Lovin that Big Boy! I do believe he has learned to trust you, Dusty. If not edited this was the smoothest loading I seen him do! Maybe this next season his production will increase now that he has been with these ladies awhile! " Honeys, I'm home!" LOL They all checked him out when he came back! That was so neat to watch. Training the next Bison rancher! Yes!
I was happy to see that you had the help of Tyler . Thank you Tyler because I think Dusty gets more stressed out than Big Joe who was actually pretty chill today and his '' ladies '' seemed very content to have him back with them . Also , Congratulations concerning Big Joe's ability to continue to breed successfully as I'm sure that gives you peace of mind . I agree with your idea about last year as the '' ladies '' might not have been ready to accept him at that time . Hopefully they will have full trust in his ability to take care of them this year . Doc Parson's is a great vet as he is so knowledgeable and explains things so well . When he spoke of the bison's natural predators weeding out the weak in a very natural way that spoke to me of my own belief - nature will repair itself if given enough time and man does not introduce things against the laws of nature . Thank you for another great video , Dusty and please tell Marissa her flowers are lovely .
I think I would just waste day after day just watching those bison! How awesome are they! Thank you for sharing, I'm so glad your channel showed up on my recommended list. Very cool!
Great news on Big Joe! You must be so relieved. Hopefully next year will be better, they probably sensed the iffy weather conditions and it affected breeding too? If only they could talk! The footage of you getting him into the trailer and the katydids (?) is amazing
Dusty, this is one of your best videos ever! Good news, of course, about Big Joe, but the bigger news is about all the genetic testing so that the future of bison in North America is solid. Doc’s comments were extremely informative. I love the care and concern and respect you put into raising your herd. Well done!
Big Joe's vet visit was either traumatic or a good time. 😂 I love the education of bison. So glad big Joe is going to be a Daddy many times over. How long is a bison able to reproduce? Is it longer in captivity? Love the Doc, you are lucky to have him. ✌🙏❤
Great educational video about bisons! Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing your adventures with us 👍 Happy that Big Joe is fully functional also
Thank you for taking us along... I can hear him say "and then, you know what they did to me?!" I know he's not human, but I've been with a male human who went through this same set of procedures.... The discussions we had were hilarious. Also, Just remember, it is usually the ladies that make the final decision. I look forward to find out about the genetics. Well done! Tyler can learn a lot from you, mentorship is extremely valuable in growing skills in the next generation. Yeah Tyler!
Big Joe had very good news for you. That was a great visit. Registration is important so the bison don't breed with close family. I am glad you got to see for yourself. 😊 it sounds like it's best to keep him with the ladies that now accept him. Thanks Dusty. You got some great pictures of bog Joe on this trip.
Wow! You have to be physically fit to move those bison. All that fence jumping and quick movements are so necessary. I’m glad Joes fertility test results were good. He didn’t seem to mind the attention from his ladies when he returned home. Maybe some extra cubes will help him forget the day or at least forgive you. Thanks for sharing.
How great to be able to add Big Joe's genetics to the registry! I'm happy to see you participating in the NABR. Not only are you able to ensure that your bison have a pure bison lineage, but by keeping the registry, the NABR is able to track genetic abnormalities and help producers keep those abnormalities from continuing through the breed
Yahoo!!! I was needing some good news! I sent several prayers up for that big boy, you can't help but love him. Give him some cubes for me, he's earned them.
Saw fertility testing on one of Daniel’s animals so interesting to now see it done for Big Joe. So glad all is well, and he can get busy! Has Doc written any books? His knowledge needs to be preserved for future bison ranchers. I’m always intrigued by what he had to share. The NABR sounds like an amazing organization. What foresight it took to create and implement this! Going to do a bit of research on it because genetics like this interest me. Glad Tyler was able to help out, and share time with you!
It was good to hear the results of the testing of big joe. He will help build your herd, and provide many red dogs in your future. Take Care and God Bless
Thank you for all of the teaching today! What a great video and experience! I immediately went to the internet to learn more about the Bison Bottleneck. (The National Park Service has a great column about Bison called "Bison Bellows". Lots of information and pictures/videos.) Could you tell us a bit more about the beefalo controversy? Is that because it conflicts with having "pure" herds? I can see that it would be a conflict of interest between those that want to preserve the American Bison herd as genetically pure as possible vs. those that are only interested in making a profit with beefalo. Beefalo do not seem to appear in the popular media or restaurants as often as they did in the 80s and 90s, but perhaps I have just not seen/heard much information. As the daughter and sibling of 2 OSU Animal Science grads (and mom who was an OSU home economics education major) I am always pleased to hear about OSU! Good for Tyler--he is in a great place! Again--thank you for teaching us with every video, and for all you do to preserve our American Bison!
I think the biggest controversy is that some of the raisers of beefalo were pushing (IMO) Heart Doctors to push their product on their patients as a healthier meat option for those who have had strokes, heart attacks, and heart surgeries. I know they told my dad to eat beefalo when he had his stint put in after his heart attack a few years ago but I winged out on them and said if he HAS to go to that lean of a red meat it would be pure bison but being on limited income that was not happening either, so we did more chicken, fish, pork (loin, chops aka less fatty of the cuts), venison (when we could get it) etc. A friends dad was told the same thing 30 years ago so that was all he would buy for years and years and still does to this day that I know of. On the other side, you have producers like Dusty and Doc that are trying to keep the herds as pure as they can trying to preserve a native species that was nearly wiped out by hatred of the Indigenous People who depended on them for survival, and many for their greed to make a buck by selling hides, bones etc. I am glad some had the vision in the beginning to save these majestic animals or they would be another statistic in horrible history of statistics of what we do to the species on this planet when they get in our way.
Yes, the Emminant Domain behavior of the non-Indigenous people has done soooo much harm, for well over 600-14,000 years, in all of the America's. Well beyond the current 600 years of white old men & their "good ole boys club" mentality. So very painful to sooo many.
I grew up in Montana so I went to Yellowstone all the time. Just to see how close I could get to them. Some of the bulls wear huge, thank you. You're doing a great job.
Your channel is always interesting an educational. 99.9% of us will never come close to owning any bison but we all (or most) find interested in learning! You are a great ambassador for the bison industry !
Glad to hear the good news about big Joe. I love watching your videos. I go to Pioneers Park in Lincoln, NE or the Safarie to watch these amazing animals
It's great to see that you know and understand your herd. I think Maya is just getting ready for the heat. She looks at you like, please don't make me get out dad.
Dusty I think you can relax working Big Joe. He seems to respect you once he knows what you want of him. So glad he has swimmers.I didn't realize the breeding with cattle was a situation. But makes sense. Thank you to you and Dr Parsons for preserving the bison.
I love seeing the process. Doc was fantastic in describing all the facts and the reasons why for keeping the bison breed more pure. So happy Big Joe had great results. Maybe those females will cozy up to him a little more.
My dad loved Yellowstone and would take our family vacation there every year. The earliest trip was in 1941. My earliest memory of seeing bison was when I was about four. Yellowstone during the 40s was so full of wildlife. Dad took home movies and we loved reliving our adventures. I feel blessed to have such wonderful memories of experiencing nature in all her glory. Love watching your herd.
I love watching your videos. You always bring great information about the Bison and what you are doing to grow the herd and to maintain their health and wellbeing. And always love when I get to see Big Joe or Dunbar and now Hoss too!
Omg!!! I feel like such an idiot that I'm crying over Big Joe NOT shooting blanks!!!! Thank you Doc Parsons for looking after the big guy!! I've learned quite a bit watching this today!! Dusty, you must be so relieved!!!?? Tyler, thanks for helping out that day!!❤🇨🇦❤🇨🇦❤
I am an 85 year old Great Grandma. I have an iPad that I am constantly on and I came upon a video about Bison. Started watching and am now obsessed with Big Joe and Dunbar and the ladies and how they are taken care of.
awesome news about Big Joe so happy for yall so glad he's got lots of swimmers and these cows over here at the ponderos so definitely seem to love him a lot so hopefully there will be lots of red dogs from him next year probably the cows at the old place just didn't take to him that well and that's why there wasn't the red dogs like you were hoping for this year. I know it was disappointing but that happens but at least now yall know Big Joe is good to go and his cows over here on the ponderosa really seemed love him so praying for lots of red dots next year on the ponderosa, and back on the home property with Dunbar also. God bless yall
Thank you for teaching us about a beloved Bison history and allowing us to love Big Joe! I never thought that my heart would feel joy about the fathering of a bison. You and your family have brought caring heart ❤️ My heart smiled this morning, thank you. Prayers for many little Big Joe’s in the future.
My thoughts exactly
Big joe is so cool he is such a monster but he is so big and cooler than the other bison
So glad Big Joe is alright! Hopefully this season the cows will be receptive of him. It’s awesome that Tyler wants to be the next generation to raise those beautiful bison too! Marissa’s flowers are just gorgeous! God bless y’all! ❤️🦬
Tyler will do good. He has the same calm demeanor working with big Joe as you Dusty.
Such great news about Big Joe!! Looks like his ladies like him fine now so look forward to lots of Big Joe red dogs next year. So great that Tyler could be there, what a fantastic learning experience! And thanks for taking us all along virtually.

Cats aren't really domesticated. They are just wondering if they should keep us.
That's funny! Lol
@@SandraNelson063 That's very true!

I think they domesticated us.
Yay prayers were answered! Brought tears to me when u told the results. Big Joe probably thought what the heck was that all about. As always God bless stay safe until the next video ❤️ 😍
Amen Kim!! Prayers were definitely answered!! God Bless you!!
I’m so glad Big Joe is healthy! I’m a 75 year old female, retired military! I love watching your channel! Big Joe & Dunbar a Gods precious creatures! I’m so glad you are taking care of them!
Thank you!
Thankyou for your service!🙏💞
Taking care of them ?? Are thay not raising them to butcher ???
Thank you for your service
Mostly not.@@lindavanocker1841
So happy to hear about Big Joe's good test results.He is such a gentle giant.I know a force to be felt with on some days.I love watching all of your family on video's.Marissa's is flowers are very pretty!!She done a great job on them.Looking forward to all of your future video's and thanks for sharing your family and your Bison.
What a relief that must be!
It’s great that you have some answer as to why there weren’t more babies this year.
I am looking forward to seeing the next year of the journey!
Blessings and Abundance!
All the ladies run to Joe when he got home. "Not today, ladies. I've had a rough day." 😎
So happy to hear that Joe's genetics will carry on. Great learning experience for Tyler. Successful day, all around.

Guys, HERE is Our Savior
YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified for our sins, NOT jesus, and “HERE IS THE PROOF”

I am soo glad that Big Joe is fine ! I love the Big guy so much also Dunbar !! Great video nice to have Tyler there !! Pray he stays working with Bison !
Your herd is growing so fast !! Awesome to see.
What we all learned from Dr. Parsons . Thanks for taking us on this journey.
Fantastic news of Big Joe. We are just as happy as you.
From Roodepoort in South Africa. God bless.

So happy for you that Big Joe has great swimmers 😂. My Nephew up in Alberta Canada use to collect seamen from Bulls, it is a much needed part of ranching. Well done Dusty. It is great being a mentor to another young man who is interested in Raising Bison. 🇨🇦
Why 🦬 look dangerous
Big Joe and Dunbar are both beautiful bulls. I'm certainly no expert on bison conformation, but they look to be very well conformed and an asset for improving the breed. Enjoy your videos Dusty. You're doing great work.
Hallelujah!! This I believe is one of your best videos!! I learned so much from doc too! So excited for joe too. I hope this goes viral!! From Montgomery al 🙏 ❤️
Unfrickin' believable how you were able to load that bull. Woozer! Great Job of bravery and skill.... Glad to know he's not shooting blanks. Great social animals. Thanks for sharing w/us
Glad Big Joe is fine. Maybe just another year with him, the cows will have come to accept him
@@Praise___YaH What does this have to do with the subject?
Dusty, that was such a neat experience to watch all the process of Big Joe to see the fertility procedure and the genetics. Good luck with the advancement of the lineage of Joe and Dunbar and the Cross Timbers Ranch.💕🙏🏻🙋🏼♀️
Happy 4 U and Big Joe, babies here we go. When my parents retired from beef and grain
farming, they sold it to a guy who turned it into a Bison farm.
Remember dad really proud of that. Don't know if there was any cow blood mixed in or who the farmer was,
or even if its still running, but remember dad been super proud. Thank U 4 sharing ur farm and life.😄
What wonderful news! So very happy for you. Love listening about what you all are doing to help strengthen the breed. Super video! Thanks so much!
Super educational and informative video keep up the great work young man and many thanks to Doc Parsons for teaching and showing the younger generation what it's all about and how to carry it on for many years God bless
Yay!!!!! Big Joe gets to stay with his ladies and babies 👶 ❤️ 💙 I was about to be upset if his checkup went opposite, yay again for The Big Guy!!!!!! Good Going Dusty....God Bless You 🙌 🙏
Thank you for taking the time to explain everything. You are great about covering all the little extras and making sure your animals are well taken care of. You actually make it look pretty easy. Even though you say you stress out when you have to work Big Joe ! You are hard on your self. Its fun to see how much you know about your bison. Your heart shows in every action you are involved in. Your future will without a doubt be great !
Thank you very much!
Did you tell Big Joe why you were asking him to be loaded? Maybe if he was told , he would have better understood the purpose of this trip...not kidding... just talking to him, possibly a few cubes... just askin'.
@Dusty
I started watching your channel since almost the beginning. And I’ve been meaning to tell you, “Thank you for keeping the language clean!” I never have to fear allowing my grandbabies to watch the bison. They all love to watch and know most of the bison by name.
So thankful Big Joe is healthy; he’s one of our favorites!
♥️🦬🦬🦬♥️
Clean language is important to me too, and I'm an old man. There is so much foul language out there these days that a feller has to watch his every word or find himself slipping up. I spent 20 years in the US Navy and didn't hear as much foul language as one does anywhere in public these days.
So happy Big Joe is still fertile. Thanks for letting all of us know Dusty. Take care..be safe
So glad to hear that all is well with the Big Guy! Thank you Dr. Parsons for sharing your wisdom with us, it's always interesting to hear about the genetics of bison. Good Luck with your school Tyler! I know you'll do well. Sending love to you all, from Memphis, TN!
Big Joe is a magnificent animal glad to hear that his blood line will go on for a long time . Great job I learned a lot about the Bison that I didn't know .Thank you Dusty for a Great video.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Loved learning about the NABR and how it helps keep the bison genetics. So glad Big Joe is good. The ladies were all so happy to see him. Thanks to Doc Parsons for all he does for the bison industry. Great video Dusty. ❤❤❤
What a fascinating, information filled video. Thank you for sharing. Thanks to you and Dr. Parsons for what you did for the American Bison. Such an important and beautiful creature. Thanks to Tyler for helping you as well. Here’s to Big Joe, go get those ladies!! Such good news.
Awesome 💯👍 so glad to stumble on interests like THIS!💯😁💕🌷🌹👍🌹🇺🇸💐 Thank you
Doc is such an informative person he’s still learning too. Great teacher. Tyler learned a lot today hope he enjoyed himself. Big Joe was cool dude. Ladies are just going to have to warm up to him. Stay safe. Flowers are pretty
So glad Big Joe is ok. Also so glad you figured out what happened to the calf crop for this spring summer. Very logical.
So happy you got the good news on Big Joe
This was a great video showing what's involved in working the big guy and all the interesting and informative facts while at the Doc's place. 👍
The way his ladies greeted him when he came home was 💞
Let's hope you will have many more red dogs in the future!
Joe is learning to run the shoot and transportation! He trusts you which is a beautiful thing to see. What a change since the first attempt to work Big Joe. Genetic testing is also important to avoid in-breeding!
Thank you for the commitment in keeping your herd healthy. Hard work but these animals are worth it. Blessings.
I think Big Joe did a lot better loading and being worked this time - he is trusting the process more and more. Heck, we all feel the same way about going to the doctor for a check-up Joe! I'm glad he's fertile so he can sire some more awesome bison just like him!
AWESOME. I am so happy for Big Joe. Lovin that Big Boy! I do believe he has learned to trust you, Dusty. If not edited this was the smoothest loading I seen him do! Maybe this next season his production will increase now that he has been with these ladies awhile! " Honeys, I'm home!" LOL They all checked him out when he came back! That was so neat to watch. Training the next Bison rancher! Yes!
I was happy to see that you had the help of Tyler . Thank you Tyler because I think Dusty gets more stressed out than Big Joe who was actually pretty chill today and his '' ladies '' seemed very content to have him back with them . Also , Congratulations concerning Big Joe's ability to continue to breed successfully as I'm sure that gives you peace of mind . I agree with your idea about last year as the '' ladies '' might not have been ready to accept him at that time . Hopefully they will have full trust in his ability to take care of them this year . Doc Parson's is a great vet as he is so knowledgeable and explains things so well . When he spoke of the bison's natural predators weeding out the weak in a very natural way that spoke to me of my own belief - nature will repair itself if given enough time and man does not introduce things against the laws of nature . Thank you for another great video , Dusty and please tell Marissa her flowers are lovely .
Good on Big Joe. That's quite a process.
The flowers are beautiful. ❤️ Be well.
Glad you are able to know Big Joe's status! Anxious to hear about his DNA also. Good job! 👍
I think I would just waste day after day just watching those bison! How awesome are they! Thank you for sharing, I'm so glad your channel showed up on my recommended list. Very cool!
Have you been to bison farms?
Great news on Big Joe! You must be so relieved. Hopefully next year will be better, they probably sensed the iffy weather conditions and it affected breeding too? If only they could talk! The footage of you getting him into the trailer and the katydids (?) is amazing
Just probably lots of Grasshoppers...
Yo have such an awesome life there Dusty. Love your content... Keep them coming
Thank you, I will
Dusty, this is one of your best videos ever! Good news, of course, about Big Joe, but the bigger news is about all the genetic testing so that the future of bison in North America is solid. Doc’s comments were extremely informative. I love the care and concern and respect you put into raising your herd. Well done!
Big Joe's vet visit was either traumatic or a good time. 😂 I love the education of bison. So glad big Joe is going to be a Daddy many times over. How long is a bison able to reproduce? Is it longer in captivity? Love the Doc, you are lucky to have him. ✌🙏❤
Let's all get honest with each other and admit that "Doc Parsons" is the best cowboy name ever and talking to him is like talking to Yoda
Great educational video about bisons! Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing your adventures with us 👍
Happy that Big Joe is fully functional also
Thank you for taking us along... I can hear him say "and then, you know what they did to me?!" I know he's not human, but I've been with a male human who went through this same set of procedures.... The discussions we had were hilarious. Also, Just remember, it is usually the ladies that make the final decision. I look forward to find out about the genetics. Well done! Tyler can learn a lot from you, mentorship is extremely valuable in growing skills in the next generation. Yeah Tyler!
Big Joe had very good news for you. That was a great visit. Registration is important so the bison don't breed with close family. I am glad you got to see for yourself. 😊 it sounds like it's best to keep him with the ladies that now accept him. Thanks Dusty. You got some great pictures of bog Joe on this trip.
Wow! You have to be physically fit to move those bison. All that fence jumping and quick movements are so necessary. I’m glad Joes fertility test results were good. He didn’t seem to mind the attention from his ladies when he returned home. Maybe some extra cubes will help him forget the day or at least forgive you. Thanks for sharing.
How great to be able to add Big Joe's genetics to the registry! I'm happy to see you participating in the NABR. Not only are you able to ensure that your bison have a pure bison lineage, but by keeping the registry, the NABR is able to track genetic abnormalities and help producers keep those abnormalities from continuing through the breed
Yay Big Joe is ok so happy love the videos you and everyone do with the bison love from Kingston Queensland Australia
Yahoo!!! I was needing some good news! I sent several prayers up for that big boy, you can't help but love him. Give him some cubes for me, he's earned them.
Saw fertility testing on one of Daniel’s animals so interesting to now see it done for Big Joe. So glad all is well, and he can get busy! Has Doc written any books? His knowledge needs to be preserved for future bison ranchers. I’m always intrigued by what he had to share. The NABR sounds like an amazing organization. What foresight it took to create and implement this! Going to do a bit of research on it because genetics like this interest me. Glad Tyler was able to help out, and share time with you!
It was good to hear the results of the testing of big joe. He will help build your herd, and provide many red dogs in your future. Take Care and God Bless
Thank you for all of the teaching today! What a great video and experience! I immediately went to the internet to learn more about the Bison Bottleneck. (The National Park Service has a great column about Bison called "Bison Bellows". Lots of information and pictures/videos.) Could you tell us a bit more about the beefalo controversy? Is that because it conflicts with having "pure" herds? I can see that it would be a conflict of interest between those that want to preserve the American Bison herd as genetically pure as possible vs. those that are only interested in making a profit with beefalo. Beefalo do not seem to appear in the popular media or restaurants as often as they did in the 80s and 90s, but perhaps I have just not seen/heard much information. As the daughter and sibling of 2 OSU Animal Science grads (and mom who was an OSU home economics education major) I am always pleased to hear about OSU! Good for Tyler--he is in a great place! Again--thank you for teaching us with every video, and for all you do to preserve our American Bison!
I think the biggest controversy is that some of the raisers of beefalo were pushing (IMO) Heart Doctors to push their product on their patients as a healthier meat option for those who have had strokes, heart attacks, and heart surgeries. I know they told my dad to eat beefalo when he had his stint put in after his heart attack a few years ago but I winged out on them and said if he HAS to go to that lean of a red meat it would be pure bison but being on limited income that was not happening either, so we did more chicken, fish, pork (loin, chops aka less fatty of the cuts), venison (when we could get it) etc. A friends dad was told the same thing 30 years ago so that was all he would buy for years and years and still does to this day that I know of. On the other side, you have producers like Dusty and Doc that are trying to keep the herds as pure as they can trying to preserve a native species that was nearly wiped out by hatred of the Indigenous People who depended on them for survival, and many for their greed to make a buck by selling hides, bones etc. I am glad some had the vision in the beginning to save these majestic animals or they would be another statistic in horrible history of statistics of what we do to the species on this planet when they get in our way.
Yes, the Emminant Domain behavior of the non-Indigenous people has done soooo much harm, for well over 600-14,000 years, in all of the America's. Well beyond the current 600 years of white old men & their "good ole boys club" mentality.
So very painful to sooo many.
I grew up in Montana so I went to Yellowstone all the time. Just to see how close I could get to them. Some of the bulls wear huge, thank you. You're doing a great job.
Big Joe! Very informative episode. Have seen the herds in Yellowstone and they are impressive.
Your channel is always interesting an educational. 99.9% of us will never come close to owning any bison but we all (or most) find interested in learning! You are a great ambassador for the bison industry !
Thank you!! ❤️
Glad to hear the good news about big Joe. I love watching your videos. I go to Pioneers Park in Lincoln, NE or the Safarie to watch these amazing animals
I'm always amazed at how much of the herd movement you do all by yourself WHILE filming. Also amazing how incredibly agile and quick the bison are.
It's great to see that you know and understand your herd. I think Maya is just getting ready for the heat. She looks at you like, please don't make me get out dad.
Pretty fast maneuver there Dusty. Had us all on edge loading him up. I know it must be extremely dangerous but fascinating to watch.
Dusty I think you can relax working Big Joe. He seems to respect you once he knows what you want of him. So glad he has swimmers.I didn't realize the breeding with cattle was a situation. But makes sense. Thank you to you and Dr Parsons for preserving the bison.
I love seeing the process. Doc was fantastic in describing all the facts and the reasons why for keeping the bison breed more pure. So happy Big Joe had great results. Maybe those females will cozy up to him a little more.
My dad loved Yellowstone and would take our family vacation there every year. The earliest trip was in 1941. My earliest memory of seeing bison was when I was about four. Yellowstone during the 40s was so full of wildlife. Dad took home movies and we loved reliving our adventures. I feel blessed to have such wonderful memories of experiencing nature in all her glory. Love watching your herd.
Glad Big Joe is fertile. He is a beautiful bull and I am looking forward to seeing his calves.
This was so interesting. Thank you for taking us along with you!
I am so happy Big Joe still has what it takes! Poor guy must have been so confused though, wondering what just happened! 💖😂
I love watching your videos. You always bring great information about the Bison and what you are doing to grow the herd and to maintain their health and wellbeing. And always love when I get to see Big Joe or Dunbar and now Hoss too!
Omg!!! I feel like such an idiot that I'm crying over Big Joe NOT shooting blanks!!!! Thank you Doc Parsons for looking after the big guy!! I've learned quite a bit watching this today!! Dusty, you must be so relieved!!!?? Tyler, thanks for helping out that day!!❤🇨🇦❤🇨🇦❤
What cow wouldn’t want you Big Joe. You’re a rock star. Love watching you work the big guy.
I hope that everything is well with big Joe
I am an 85 year old Great Grandma. I have an iPad that I am constantly on and I came upon a video about Bison. Started watching and am now obsessed with Big Joe and Dunbar and the ladies and how they are taken care of.
awesome news about Big Joe so happy for yall so glad he's got lots of swimmers and these cows over here at the ponderos so definitely seem to love him a lot so hopefully there will be lots of red dogs from him next year probably the cows at the old place just didn't take to him that well and that's why there wasn't the red dogs like you were hoping for this year. I know it was disappointing but that happens but at least now yall know Big Joe is good to go and his cows over here on the ponderosa really seemed love him so praying for lots of red dots next year on the ponderosa, and back on the home property with Dunbar also. God bless yall
