A buddy of mine worked with buffalo. Once they adopt you as a herd member, they are very gentle. He slept on the ground and they all walked over him being careful not to step on him.
DannyB1954, American bison, not buffalo. Buffalo is in Africa.
Contrary to popular belief, Bison and other ruminants sleep lying down so they aren't likely to move around on their feet at night. Why would he sleep on the ground in a Buf Pen? Sounds really nasty. I smell Bufshit.
@@sergeantmasson3669 In America, American Bison are very commonly referred to as Buffalo or "Buf" even among people who are around them a lot. Scientists and hoyty-toyties insist on the proper identifying species name.
@@The_DC_Kid The species is Bison.
@@The_DC_KidI think it was more like open range. He said he was hired to be like a Shepard during the birthing season. It was him and not me, so I don't have an answer. I met him when he was living as a homeless person living in a tarp made into a lean to.tent. You would likely say that you would not live that way either.
He moved on and kept in contact. He met a lady who needed help with her farm making goat cheese. He has been there a couple of years now and says he loves the goats, (and the lady I think).
I'm amazed that these big animals enjoy being petted and you are a kind herder. I enjoyed the video. 💕
They are social animals Long as you don’t challenge the hierarchy
Dusty isn’t trying to be the “herd bull” !They know he provides stuff! Dunbar is young, has his own herd and doesn’t like having another “bull” around
Look how gentle Big Joey is when you were hand 🤚 feeding him 👏😍😍😍
Great video 👍🦋🦋🦋
He is so majestic and calm! He knows you and follows you around 🤗
Dusty is the bearer of all good things-hay, alfalfa, etc
I just can't get over how sweet they all are to you (and yes, I know they're dangerous). I'm glad that you and Big Joe found an "arrangement", so to speak, which makes you both happy!
Anyone else here get relaxed just watching his videos? Everything is so laid back and very little stress. This is so far removed from all the BS in the US today. Good job.
Yeah it makes you wonder could you live up in such a beautiful rural area talking to your neighbors once every 4 months in total isolation it always sounds so enticing and romantic but isolation is a factor when you live up in those areas but that is one of the benefits of living such a agrarian existence
@@arlenmargolin1650 that ist very true !! Being isolated is somthing you want to be !!! And you need to be strong to be able to do this kind of life !! That means every day setting new goals for the day witch need to be done and at the end of the day have results that have you pleased !!
And that over and over 360 days a year !! Respekt 👏👏👏👏
I would love to do that but not all year round !! Every day every weather ......year in year out !!
But Thanks for people wich live this way and do it !!! Thanks for sharing your life with us !!
I enjoy every minut seeing videos like this !!
Just think before internet we all didnt have the posibility doing this !!
It opens the wourld up for us all to see !! 😍
Oh yeah by the way I am American living and watching from Germany !!
Im orig.from Phila.with roots and family in North Carolina also !! 👋👋👋👋
Until Big Joe needs a vet check then it’s all about nerves and stress. 😳
Watching this is not at all relaxing! This puts my stomach in knots! Scary to me but beautiful. Much Love
The difference between country life and city corporate.
First time on your channel. As someone who grew up on a family farm where animals were treated as simply commodities, it soothes my soul to watch your concern and respect for these incredible animals. Thanks!
I agree 100% Linda
@@jedjones5406 I saw the videos of your adorable lop-eared bunny. I had rabbits growing up and have an especially soft spot for them. 😊
@The Havoc you better believe it! Plus the YT money they make!
Linda J: A working farm is a business. There is never justification for abuse of anything, but at some point on a working farm the animals will be a commodity - even if it is just a petting zoo in a suburban setting.
@@vectorm4 doesn’t mean u abuse any animal
Big Joe is just like any other animal. He will learn to love you when you feed him ❤
I'll love anybody who feeds me too, lol.
Big Joe looks like a big wooly teddy bear with horns, he is gentle with gentleness but clearly he is a big boy with lots of power. Thanks for sharing. Blessings
Don't be fooled by his looks. That can be a very dangerous animal.
@@Nannaof10 oh ues, they are wild unlike our dairy cows
great description of these amazing creatures! would love to be there and help care for them!
Yeah if you watch the videos where they try to get him into a squeeze shoot you'll be hard-pressed to find any gentleness from Big Joe then
I LOVED this video! So heartwarming to see Big Joe eat out of your hand! He's such an incredible animal. Thank you for devoting your life to these special American animals. May 2021 be a year of Blessings and prosperity for you, your family and your beautiful bison herd! 💕👪🐂💕
Wonderful, majestic animals. Thanks for sharing in the revival of the American Bison and bringing us along for the ride!
Big Joe’s a handsome dude! Love watching these big animals do their thing.
Way better than all the political BSA vids RUclips keeps recommending to me... we need more big joe lol
Glad to see you have found something for Big Joe! Really enjoy watching.
Me too!🦬
Its cool to see ranchers sharing what they do. Ppl have no clue all the work it entails to put the food on the shelves for us to buy ! Tyvm for your hard work I appreciate it !
Then they make it so much harder for themselves by filming so much for us to see. I for one am very grateful since I can't see it in person.
It's too bad my nieces and nephews are in college now. I was always introducing them to animal things. This would have been a great way to teach about various types of farming/ranching & how much work goes into it.
All the work that goes towards fattening up an animal with food that the animal would never eat if he were wild, just to slaughter the animal to sell to people as a way of making money.
dude is worming bison........wtf are you talking about lol.
@@billyyank5807 who are you talking to? No one said anything about what the pic of him deworming the bison.
Big Joe and The Ladies sounds like a soft jazz trio.
He's a magnificent creature.
That’s so funny!
😁
Yes it does!!
I like the fact that Big Joe let's you hand feed him! Awesome big boy!❣
I love the way he ate those cubes, he definitely approved them for you! Thank you Dusty I love these animals 😁 You are doing a wonderful job, well done ❤️❤️❤️ from South Africa 🇿🇦
It's such a pleasure watching you take care and talk about your bisons. You have mad respect on how dangerous they are and that they are not pets. I truly hope your bison farm becomes what you want it to be. You're a very hard worker.
Thank you for the kind words and encouragement.
Well I'm happy you thought of the cubes to worm him. It brought tears to my eyes to see Big Joe and his ladies to get to go out to a bigger area!😅😅 So happy for them!❤😊
Big Joe has much better luck with the ladies than I do, lol.
you actually truly shed tears? a little over dramatic,don't ya think?
Yes, folks don't seem to realize that the bulls are HUGE! Looks like they're all healthy animals, and fun to see you hand-feeding Big Joe. Good work!
I do so love watching you care for these animals! You are very thoughtful. You really are doing this in a positive manner. Very very neato and I will keep watching.
Dusty takes the time to learn their personalities.
Watch the Lion Whisperer switch groups from one location to another
Yup. Just sitting here on my couch in my apartment in San Francisco feeling all invested over whether Big Joe is going to eat his wormer cubes.
In in North Dakota, doing the same.
West Virginia here & doing the same :)
In Los Angeles admiring the beauty of the herd. 😊
@@matthewschmoyer8552 West Virginia here as well hillbilly lol
Yep. Watching from Yucatan. Big Joe looks lovable.
Hi from the Canadian prairie province of Alberta. We live in the north central area about 2 hrs north of Edmonton, the provincial capital. We have a cattle farm with 120 head of cows, several bulls, steers & replacement heifers. All summer we rotational graze our cattle, make big, round, dry 6 ft hay bales & 51 inch green haylage single wrapped bales for winter feeding. Our cows know when it's time to be moved & all we have to do is call them. Our feeding areas are approximately 40 acres. We have been here for 15 yrs. & the fields have improved so much in that time, especially where we winter feed. We do not feed in the corral except when it gets down to -35° to -40° F. Usually it is accompanied by some wind so even feels colder. We start feeding sometime in Nov. but if milder weather maybe not til early Dec. We feed til around the end of May so the grass can have maximum growth. Just a little info on cattle raising in Canada. Julie from Canada 🇨🇦 PS enjoy your bison videos. Bison farming is a whole different ball game. Keep up the good work.
It's always good when there are ways to give animals the things they need in ways they like.
Glad to see you got Big Joe something to worm him with.
Clicked on this randomly. Glad I did. Joes awesome
Us too..💜 Lovin it. Will be follow these kids 😁
Ditto and Ditto :-)
Me too!😁😁😁
You should check out their relatives over on Arms Family Homestead.
They do a lot of collabs together.
The bison are so beautiful. I love watching you act with your herds.
I love how the bison are so comfortable with you ♥♥
Yeah, when he's outside their corral and feeding them treats.
That's because they are Buffalo.
I think they are very boring, don't know what to do? should sing to them, or teach them dancing.
I just found your channel. I grew up in a state where we had Bison all around us. It's great to see them again. Thanks for taking such good care of them.
That is a great way to work Big Joe. A lit less stressful for everyone.
I just LOVE the fact that even Big Joe eats right out of your hand! Such love you have for these animals! 💕💕💕💕💕
I love how Big Joe moves with calm, confidence and methodical movement. A really lovely big boy. 💙
Big Joe never even put his tail up. He just stared and that was enough. That's bad ass.
Such a truly magnificent animal. I don't feel awe too often, but I am certainly in awe of Big Joe. 🥰
I am so glad that, in spite of man's wanton need to shoot anything that moves, that enough of these magnificent animals survived. A pure bison herd is getting hard to find. I hope Big Joe has many years ahead of him.
Smh🙄
Wow. Magnificent animals.Big Joe is a beast.I'd hate to piss him off.
If someone does piss him off, there could be a new Darwin award winner. I'm sure we have all seen the video of the Bison in Yellowstone being pestered by an idiot that was soon flying 15 feet over that Bison's head.
Glad you found an alternative for Big Joe! The new fencing looks great. Your herd and farm have increased so much from the very beginning. Your confidence has also increased considerably. Keep up the great work!👏🏼👏🏼
I believe this is how the whole bison herd at Wolf Park in Indiana is wormed. The woman who takes care of them drives into the field in a truck and gives them worming "treats." They have a big male as well. I'm always very impressed by the bull - his head is HUGE. That herd is double fenced.
You and your family are great stewards of the American bison! You are so kind to them and Joe looks like a shed in the lot, 😆 what a big beauty!
Yep. Here in Wisconsin, 2AM…. and just sooo friggin’ happy Joe ate his cubes :-))
Omg! I wanna feed Big Joe! That's so cool! He's amazingly docile!
Docile with Dusty. He knows Dusty. I don't know of any other person he knows that well unless it is maybe Brook. I believe the Bison are smart enough to recognize Brook as a baby and would be instinctively more gentle with her. Gentle enough for her safety ? I would not chance that and I know Dusty wouldn't chance it. Parents have an instinctive Hyper Guard mode when it come to their children.
OH my gosh!!! Big Joe is so awesome..I just love his pompadour, he's got the best hairdo..ever.
Nice to see Dunbar as well.. Thanks Dusty...take care and God bless..
I totally agree!! Love these guys
Burglars run thru a field towards the ranch.
Big Joe: So you have chosen death...
LOLOL yep ... a 6.5 ft tall at withers, 2,800 lb bison would smish a person in no time
“This property protected 24/7 by bison.”
(pic of Big Joe 🦬 standing over a bloody stain with bits of clothing and some matted hair on the ground next to a big ol’ Joe hoof)
@@davehart7943 yep .. huge, huh?
@@mynamedoesntmatter8652 lolololol that's actually a rather cool idea for that rancher
@@davehart7943 some bulls can be a little bit bigger by a few inches and a few hundred pounds.
This bull cracks me up he does not like to be handled at all .He is a character for real.
Omg Big Joe is adorable! I’m sure he can get a little crazy at times but being able to hand feed him must be creating a bond of trust. I really enjoy your videos and I feel like I’m getting to know your herd. Awesome. BTW Dunbar is still my favourite 😉
I'm a diehard American patriot and I think it's important to keep our American icon animals alive and thriving. I support the American bald eagle program too
I totally agree. I saw Bisons when I rode my bicycle across the country last year and when I was in Yellowstone, Tetons and Custer state Park, I was mesmerized by these animals and you supporting the American Bison and Bald Eagles does make you an American Patriot.
Must be soul crushing to be an American patriot these days - I know it's hard on me.
I'm older so I got to grow up in the sane America. I've told my children many stories about being a kid in that America. They can hardly believe how free and unregulated we used to be while being taught to govern ourselves and take responsibility.
@@lydiamalone1859 I hope and pray we can return to those days. I am afraid it will take a bloody war to re boot American, to return to the way the founding fathers intended and eliminate decades of socialist Democratic liberal,leftist destructive policies and aganda.
The amount of anger I see against America, Conservatism, patriotism , nationalism is shocking.....
A few years ago my son and I were at I think Teddy Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota. We were up top looking down at the bison. And then we walked down the trail to the bottom. At some point it dawned on me there was no fence between me and the bison. So we went back up. In a hurry.
My husband and I went there in September 2016 and saw bison there. It’s a magnificent place! And yes, we saw bison there too, mostly bachelors. We did see a bull with his family near the end of our time there. From our car.
Big Joe is just so majestic to me. Love the ability of him eating from your hand. They are just beautiful !! ❤🐂
What a Majestic Animal Big Joe is very impressed!
Tony from Western Australia 🇦🇺
The cubs is a better way to deworm Big Joe and glad your able to pet him. Awesome! Enjoyed and Thanks Dusty. Hugs to Brooks.
I really like your channel. So fun to learn more about the buffalo. Especially since I was taught the stories from history class of the loss of this great beast being eminent.
Big Joe is so cute. Thank you for sharing these majestic animals with us. I love watching.
Puppies and kittens are cute. Big Joe is an almost 2,000 pound brute that can kill with the flip of his head.
Ya! I knew there were ‘feed’ dewormers for cattle and horses. Glad to see Big Joe dewormed, especially by hand, so you know how much he has had. Nice work on the fencing. That has to be a truly unending job, heavy work, not really worth videoing. Always glad to see a video from you.
Wow, he appears to be as tame as a puppy ! I love it !
Oh 😦, so his cute and friendly ways are actually an
"April Fool's". Got it. Lol
They are beautiful animals.
🎵🎶 "give me a home where the buffalo 🦬 roam,and I'll show you a very messy carpet"🎵🎶
Bug Joe was taking those worming pellets like coins into a slot machine.
That is one big boy!!!!
LMAO!! Love it!
Cute metaphor
My gosh...hand feeding Big Joe is amazing!! Love your videos!
Took my advice I see. Stick those cud pellets in a 5 gallon bucket and shake it you can have them follow you.
You could make a little trail to the chute so you can weigh.
What a GORGEOUS BIG Boy BIG JOE is... they all love it there... Regards from Sydney Australia. 👍👍👍
Dusty, you are doing a Great Job! It's so nice and relaxing watching you with the bisons and teaching us at the same time! 😊
Wow, Big Joe is really tall. Didn't really notice his height so much in the other videos💯
Hi Dusty I’ve been watching your videos and your bison herd is amazing. Big joe is scary big but I was fascinated to watch you feed him those pellets by hand. He looked so peaceful ... then when he was letting you know he was not impressed it was quite frightening seeing how easily one can god get hurt. I’m from Australia so your message is getting out there. Keep them visit Ming. I love to watch. Thsnk you
Great explanations, great animals and well thought and manages winter parks👍👍All the best from France ⚜️ I only have 3 horse ladies to look after in their winter stables....yet I fully appreciate your installations and all the work behind it👍 Encouragements to you & your family and love to big Joe, Durbar and the ladies❤️ They truly represent Northern America to us in France👍
So delighted to see that you are doing such a good and impressive job with your American Bison. Obviously you have enough patience your job demands. When I saw so much Bison dung in your ranch and the sprawling land you have, I thought of this: What a wonderful opportunity to try a small scale industry on the side: Manufacturing compost for use by gardeners and greenhouse owners. You can set aside an area to manufacture and sell compost. Manufacturing compost is easy. You have all the ingredients in your ranch already. On a layer of soil, spread a layer of dung, and a layer of dry leaves and dry grass on the top, and a layer of soil again. Sprinkle water to keep the mixture very moist or slightly wet. In three to four weeks, mix the compost thoroughly, and wait one more week. The compost is ready. Pass it through a big sieve. The black compost is ready for bagging for sale. Just a thought, of course. I don’t know whether it is profitable enough and worth your while to pursue it.

Thank you!!
Great job, positive for everyone involved. Such beautiful animals.
We had the privilege of visiting Yellowstone a couple years ago, and, while we LOVED seeing the bison, it was shocking to us how close people would get to them. Very scary!
Some people insist on displaying their idiocy. Everytime I see that, I'm thinking..."I bet Darwin is getting ready to hand out more awards.
In Sweden we call those nets Sheep nets. The smaller openings down the bottom is to keep the lambs on the right side of the fence.
Nice to see these magnificent animals being cared for by people who take pride in their care. You are to be commended.
You do realize he is raising them for meat.
@@smokedoliver1 only the bulls will be processed at two years old you obviously have not been watching for long,so do your research be for condemning this families story shared with us.
They are majestic! Good job with Big Joe!!
I can almost fill your enthusiasm as you grow as a bison rancher.
So beautiful to see such incredible animals. I'm so glad these majestic beast are still around.
He was so gentle with taking that from you
Big Joe is glorious!
Can't tell you how much I enjoy your vlogs
Never though I would be watching Bison video’s
Mr. Binion Makes two of us. Interesting animals.
I love the American Bison. I really appreciate the people who are raising the Bison. It helps to insure that we will always have buffalo on the prairie.
It's OK, some people aren't educated enough to know the difference between Bison and Buffalo,
Hi Dusty! Got a cute buffalo joke for ya!......"What did the Dad say to his boy when he dropped him off at school? Bison!" Cute.....
What do you call a heifer that just had Cafe? Decaffeinated.
@@Stingraylil 😁
Such a Dad Joke
Dirk: Cute joke! But a baby cow is spelled caLF! 😀
What does an Australian wash his hands in?
Big Joe seems totally sweet and chilled out and yet terrifying at the same time 😆 you're braver than me being on the same side of the fence as that big fellow. Even the cattle dog isn't so sure. He seems so friendly though I'm amazed.
That sounds so funny, I understand though. It’s hard for me to be afraid of any animal except a mean, cantankerous and contradictory moose.
Moose are the most dangerous animal in the north. They beat brown bears, griz, and polar bears by a long short in meanness and unpredictability.
@@revbobmartin When I was a kid we used to spend several weeks each summer tent camping at a very remote lake in the Wind River Mountains of Wyoming, which is National Forest land. Small groups of moose, including mothers and calves, would follow a path from the woods to the marshland by the lake every morning and evening that went right by our tents. We didn't bother them, they didn't bother us. There were some pretty big males in the groups. My aunt and uncle in Anchorage used to have moose grazing up to their yard most days. Just be wary and treat them with respect. As long as they know you're there and that you're not stalking them most large herbivores seem to live and let live with humans.
You go Joe and the little ladies! So very awesome!
Such incredible animals. Simply love to watch them and you. As you care for these majestic creatures. Thank you.
These bison are wonderful. I am glad you were able to find a way to get him wormed.
Talk to him he ll get it
You’re awesome too Dusty! Just found you and I’m learning something new every video, thank you for your amazing
Work with these great animals, stay safe❣️
So happy to hear you found deworming cubes for Big Joe and the girls. They will have more pasture to roam. I really enjoy your bison. Love you guys. 🥰♥️💞
So Glad you keept big JOE , and a way for him and ladies to get , like worm cubes. He such a lovable big guy. You're doing a wonderful job. Thank you for caring for the amazing Beast's.💕🇺🇸🇩🇰🌅🙏🤣🤔
Such beautiful creatures and thanks to people like you they didn't disappear so we'll be able to enjoy their magnificence for years to come
Instablaster
You think they didn't dissapear because of a 2022 Bison rancher raising Bison for steaks LOL GTFO and read a book
Pretty sure he is raising them to become burgers…
If they had an appreciation for how magnificent these animals were, they would not be raising them so they can slaughter them....they would be free and protected
Big Joe, he follows you around 🙃and he feeds from your hand. Beautiful Animals. 2nd time watching 👀 I be back, enjoyed.
Great video. Lovely to see Big Joe feeding from your hand. They all seemed so much calmer.
Thanks for sharing Dusty. Glad you found6 a way to deworm Big Joe. Thanks for the info on the fence also.
Big Joe is a phenomenal species, I would think that hand feeding him and the others would be better as you can check them over. I absolutely love him and Dunbar.
It is so nice to see Big Joe Kit and the others it makes me think of the ones in Wisconsin, miss those Bison a lot.
Glad you found a way to get BIG JOE taken care of. Looks like you got a lot of work ahead to take care of your animals. GOD BLESS CROSS COUNTRY TIMBERS BISON FAMILY.
To much love ❤. Spoiling BIG JOE. YOUR AWESOME. Can't imagine hand feeding those big animals. 😍😍🥰
He is a beauty!!!
You can't roller skate in a buffalo herd
You can't roller skate in a buffalo herd

@@SweetUniverse Roger Miller
You guys are so great to care for these animals ! They should be free & happy & not end up on anyone's dinner plate ! I've rescued dogs & a few Kitty's over the years, from bad, sad situations & love them like my kids ! There's so many great people now, doing what you're doing !!!! Bless your Hearts ! Thank-You ! Love, Pamela !
I love your videos. I just love the bison. It is really great to see the everyday things you have to do with them. THANK YOU for your statement on the wild bison! I have been out to Yellowstone and Custard. The people that get to close. Selfies with the bison, then they get hurt! I have had them walk really close to my car, but I was in it. Not out taking selfies. Respect the wildlife and enjoy them.
Really surprised that metal fencing keeps those one ton animals in without them just pushing it over !!!!
They will learn barbwire doesnt do much but electric fence works perfect for my grandpas buffalo/bison pastures he uses thick metal for the feed lot area though
Big Joe weight TWO tons! They weighed him , I was shocked at how big he really was!
@@teresahiggs4896 WOW
It won't. A regular sized Angus bull would go through that fencing with little trouble. The Bison can tear through it like tissue paper if they felt inclined.
Loved the end. Joes like “you askin me about the kid over there? grrph! (Haha in bison)”
Joe is MAJESTIC!!! He is a BULL and knows it! I think he looked at Dunbar and said "What a baby..."
I feel so peaceful watching these majestic animals roam. Really makes me want to work on a bison ranch
Lol
