- Thanks for watching and supporting the herd! This was a really fun mini series / mini documentary to make. "Working Big Joe Documentary: Bison Handling Behind the Scenes" was filmed in the spring of 2021 at Cross Timbers Bison Ranch in Oklahoma. Today we learn about the process of working Bison and revisit some never before seen "behind the scenes" action. In this video you can see him tear up the new gate before we are able to get him in the corral system and squeeze chute. Luckily our Vet Doc Parsons encouraged us to keep working him because he eventually gets his weight and vaccines in the next episode. Stay tuned for part 2 and 3!

Long hard day but it paid off. Glad Y'all were able to win over Big Joe. GOD BLESS Y'ALL.
I love how Daniel is ALWAYS there to help!! You are one blessed family!!❤🇨🇦❤🇨🇦❤
That’s one strong bison!! Be safe! He doesn’t like being caged for sure
What a beautifully dangerous animal. He is what they all looked like before their numbers were decimated. Thank you for taking on the job of caring for these wondrous animals.
Big Joe's a hell of a specimen,😄. He's just great. Love him. 💕
Big Joe is so powerful. Aww bless his heart he's so scared. What a gorgeous creature 🐂💪❤️
I dont think hes scared at all. Hes mad!! No ones gonna tell him where to go!
Also good to eat.
Big Joe is fuked up
Sorry
This really breaks my heart. This is how we have do things to preserve our natural history. To try to retain even a small part if what these magnificent beings have meant to this continent. When miles a day were their natural gift and the joy of a herd run. Just because it feels good. 😢🐂🐃
Dusty, his family and Doc are the best people, good people
Now, I understand the Gate Drama! Big Joe! The Gate Destroyer! Well! The Good News is that Big Joe had his exercise! Congratulations for Winning this round! Dusky, Big Joe is very important! You’re definitely the owner for Joe! Big Joe, Dunbar and Eleanor are definitely Family! Who said raise children was easy! Doc is the best support! Three Cheers to Doc! Dunbar carefully watching as an observer! I understand the Situation! Big Joe climbing the Fence! Big Joe is amazingly strong! Oh! My! I’m looking forward to Part 2!
Such beautiful beasts!!!!! Thank you for taking care of them as you do!
This is one of my favorite videos Big Joe is so huge you just got to love him
I love watching you, and what you do with your Bison....Just love all your videos..
Gotta love Big Joe! I'm glad y'all finally got him in the chute. He definitely is a big boy!
Woohoo !! You got Big Joe !! Wow !! BLove ya and Bless you all !!
Great video . I seen you work big Joe it was amazing. Dusty thanks for sharing 👍. God bless you all.
An American in Germany watching your channel since beginning keep up the good work and keep safe and healthy
Like Dusty said, thank goodness for Doc. Behind the scenes pretty cool. Big Joe could have his own channel! I see it now, Trials & Tribulations of Bi Joe! 😎
Big Joe is the boss! Gotta love him! 🌞💛
Big Joe is so powerful you guys did a great job with him❤️❤️❤️
WoW. He's a beast and a half !!!!!!!!!! 🍃🌿😇😇😇
OMG THAT BISON DUMBAR WAS VERY UPSET I AM GLAD NO ONE GOT HURT THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR VIDEO
Such MAGNIFICENT creations of God. Just amazing how HUGE Big Joe is. Wow. I know I missed my calling to work with animals. Being stuck at home really makes me understand the meaning of what life or how life is supposed to be. And looking at these huge creaturs helps me understand once I am able to get past surgery/recovery end of the year, I am going to search for volunteering to help people rasing and protecting any animals big and small. Thank you, Dusty. Blessings to you and your family. =) One thing I notice when Big Joe is spinning around. He wags his tail all the time! So it is like he is having fun with you at some point. Like haha dad you ain't the boss of me!
I've said it before...Big Joe is scary. But he is what makes bison so majestic. Thanks for sharing some of your behind the scenes videos.
I love independent, strong minded animals. When I worked with horses, stallions with attitude were always my favorites.
@@Automedon2I've never owned a horse only riden them. I guess if you can win them over they know they can trust you. ❤🐎 When I was young my mom was visiting a person who owned horses. My mom was bragging about her ability with horses but, when she got on him he kept going back into the barn.The horse was brought out and then it tried to scrape her off by going close to a pole, before bringing her over to the steps to get off. So funny his daughter and me both got on and rode him around the yard with no problem. Could this be called horse sense?🐴😁
Please dont say ‘Crazy Wife’ !
She is incredible & brave to put up with all these potentially dangerous
situations…please have
patience with
Her…be safe & God Bless
@@harleymarvin who said that?
@@harleymarvin Anything like that is 100% joking. Marisa is incredibly brave and luckily also has an awesome sense of humor
Wow! Big Joe is tough, but you all stayed with him. It’s just not in their makeup to be penned up. Thanks Doc for taking time to be there and give Dusty suggestions.. this could be very dangerous for all.
I can't imagine seeing that action up close. Good thing you didn't have to test the strength of the trailer walls.
A stressful day for sure ! But finally got the big guy in the shoot . I love watching all the Bison and enjoy them all .... But Big Joe has my heart ! He is so massive and such a majestic beautiful beast . It’s like you see his soul thru his eyes ! I think he is amazing . And Dunbar is a beauty too !
Couldn't have said it better myself!!❤🇨🇦❤🇨🇦❤
Chute.
I'm glad you made a point of saying it has taken 3 years to get your facility up because people think you can just throw up some fences, gares and you're done. Love your perseverance & how you've learned at the school of hard knocks. Lol class 101 with Big Joe
Terrific.....love behind the scenes
When I see how powerful the bison are, especially Big Joe, I pray for the LORD'S hedge of protection upon you, Dusty, Kevin, and your family. Normally, they look so timid but once they get worked up over something, they become extremely dangerous.
Thank you for sharing this video.
BIG JOE, HE'S ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
Don't give up on Big Joe ❤. He is always in beast mode huh!!
Big Joe is so big and powerful...beautiful animal
He is incredible! Doc’s right though ….. you need to be the boss . Good luck and be safe ! Love your channel !
Oh my I can’t even imagine this actually being done!
Big Joe is such a gorgeous animal.
Working big joe is undoubtedly the most intense videos!! Love em even 2nd time around!! From Montgomery al
Good Evening to Cross Timber Bison and all others too. Congraulation Dusty and everyone have a great and bless day. Way to go Big Joe 😄😄
They're unbelievably massive and powerful.
Big Joe is an amazing animal. I remember watching that entire video when you first posted it. Remarkable work on the part of the entire team to get Big Joe through the chute and worked. 😀
Big Joe is truly impressive. I hope you manage to come up with a gate that he can't demolish at will.
Calls for pipe being stronger which means a little bigger, and, of course, more expensive.
Wow what a powerful animal
Big Joe your a Beast
Dr is right. Congratulations
I remember that video
Ive watched this video several times..love it. I think and hope next time you have to get big Joe in the shoot..maybe he will remember Daddy gives him treats at the end..lots of hard work for you and alot of enjoyment for us. Thanks Dusty fir sharing..take care
awesome loved watching
Boy you have to be careful handling that big boy he's sooooo powerful omg
Them big ol’ shaggy’s are hard headed brother!!!💪
Wow.😮😧😵💫You guys are fantastic.
That was a little too exciting.
Congratulations.
I think I would tranquilizer that handsome beast. I don't know how you could even put him in a trailer.
Love him... Big hugs 🤣❤️
Joe’s a beast!
Not for the faint of heart‼️ 👍
Big Joe is huge and massively strong. But, he has sweet childlike eyes. His eyes are stunning.
Cool video
Curious to know why you didn't give him a sedative ? Not enough to knock him out , but to calm his energy , make him sluggish . Maybe as they do high strung horses have a couple companions (cows) with him , . I don't know it's easy here drinking coffee and commenting on something you know nothing about. Can't wait for follow up , it was exciting , thanks
Then what do you do with a sedated bull. It doesn't work to sedate.
@@donnaelkins186 I would assume that you would move him through the shut , he would still be alert just not as traumatized . What do you do with an animal like that with broken legs? Hamberger . What do you think about the idea of accompanied by other animals ? Just arm chair referring ,20/20 is hind sight, thanks
@@donnaelkins186 They don't know his weight. That is why they are trying to weigh him so, they can give him the right amount in his shot to keep him heathy. He's talked about it in his videos. I love learning about his bisons. Sorry should be sent to other person
They need to get his weight to know how much to give him in the shot they give them for their health. If they go under on a guess that may not be helpful now and in the future. That is why doctors take weights to know the amount of doses to give.
@@kcallaghan7839 I must not be journalistic enough to get my point across ,so "Big Joe" is weighed ,vaccinated and back to pasture safe and sound . Everything is AOtay , trying to find Custer Park branding and culling videos thanks all.Looking forward to the next video
No thanks! I’ll stick with my gentle Dexters. Proud of you guys for your perseverance. ❤️👍🏻
That was so intense just watching, what y'all had to do that day and it worked out. This is a great video, seeing Dunbar scoping out the situation. Oh I am loving these behind the scenes videos, Thank you, God bless y'all
Glad you finally was able to work Big Joe.
Thanks for sharing
Thank you for sharing this part of your life.
Even though we've seen this footage already, it's exciting to see it again. woohoo go Big Joe! smh
I cheered seeing big joe get in the chute, lol my heart was going too !
Maybe train them from babies once a month to go through the pens and shuts. That way they get use to the process and will not fight so much. Like when we run water under the baby horses feet to imprint the feel of water running across the hooves.
Those buffalo are powerful for sure.
Love you videos.
God bless
You would have to have the patience of Job. You certainly do an amazing job. I never realised how big they are and how cantankerous they can be
Working with bison isn't like working with cattle. Bison are wild animals. You do a great job with them!
we put a makeshift squeeze shoot out in the pasture and put cake inside for months so our bull would go thru it several times. it seemed to help.
I know some what how you feel. My female German Shepherd thought she was the boss of me - so I did a wolf correction on her. It took 30 min.'s with her growling at me but if I let go she won . Sore arm but it changed her mind set lol. I am glad you did give him some cubes - this way he knows it not going to hurt him. Got a kick out of DeJay when she booted it out of there. Stay safe & take care of you all. Thanks for sharing eh:))
Wow just wow Big Joe is Magnificent!!
I had to watch this one twice. He was ready to fight !
Dusty, you held your frustration well. I love this footage, it's what got me interested in your channel ( thanks to Arms Family Homestead ). I cant wait till the next time you work the bison..... I know it's gonna happen soon and I'm eagerly waiting.
Big Joe is a fantastic animal!
He’s absolutely beautiful…..I love him…..his head is magnificent
What a sweet pet to hug ! Lol ! 😀 I'm not surprised that these huge peaceful wild animals cannot stand being corned in a restricted area from where they cannot escape, their primary instinct for survival comes out. I'm always afraid Big Joe hurts himself when he knocks the iron gates with such a power. Amazing animal ! Same when wild mustangs are captured and transferred, they panick.. You are brave, it's potentially dangerous. I imagine the thickness of the fences to contain these strenghtful majestic creatures.
I worry too that Joe could really hurt himself trying to escape!!
@@sandiblohm6733 yes, it's very impressive !
Big Joe. 👍🇺🇸
I did a study about the behaviors of buffalo and their tales. If you watch them... they tell you a lot. I also live on an Indian Res. and they have a guide about it. Pretty fascinating.
Nice
What would be the right word for BIG JOE ... TERRIBLE TWOS HAVING TEMPER TUNTRUM !!! 😒 ..WOW WHAT A BEAST 😲😳
He's a Beast 💥
JO JO IN VT 💕😄
Dunbar is supervising!!
Big Joe is handsome.
Great video.
Big score Bison Dad
Vote for "Joe" Bison!!!
Big Joe: Do I look like a cow? I’m an American Bison! You better treat me as such!
😂😂😂
Start with the bison when they are very young and do it often and they will be used to the enclosures etc.
Why did you cut out all the good stuff ? When I first saw it , it was very exciting and seeing his power and determination was adrenaline pumping.
Omgaaaaaaaaaaaaawd!
I bet they keep you welding!
Looks like he is terrified, and could easily have hurt himself trying to escape.
Think I would install electrified wires on gates every time big joe has to be worked. Maybe after getting shocked a few times he would not head butt gates. Either that or lot stronger gates.
Big Joe needs a time out{hehe}, but you won this time, good job, between Big Joe and Dunbar they like playing the Boss game, but I Love it
Powerful animal, is an understatement! Fortunately, Dunbar is more used to being worked.
Big Joe might be Alfa in the feild with his girls, but Daddy proved he is head Alfa! WTG Dusty you Won keep showing you are the head Alfa. But Big Joe is handsome...
You have to make a show working big Joe
Big Joe: Lemme outa here!!!
Dunbar (yawning): Whatever...
I would call him Bersker!
Perhaps you should make your gates out of 4 inch square tubing.
I'd be terrified that he'd hurt himself
