Agreed, reminds me of the tour i organised for our 4H group at a bison farm nearby. Funny, in french canadian (eastern canada) we always said bison, not buffalo.
Being a farmer myself I can say that this is absolutely the best way to run livestock, but unfortunately in England we don't have the space. This operation is a tremendous credit to the family, and I wish them well for the future. Several years ago I visited the Triple U ranch where Dances With Wolves was filmed, and spent a whole day learning about the way they farmed bison. I shot a large bull, and later watched it being processed ready for sale. It was great that those animals never saw a truck or a slaughterhouse. I would really like to visit sometime when travel restrictions are eased.
Just amazing, can you imagine when herds of 60 million roamed the prairies, talk about rolling thunder. great to see them doing well again, beautiful family. God Bless.
Glad I watched this. I love Bison....and usually my wife gets our from Cow Crowd (online). As for beef, we raise our own cows for us and our extended family. So around 4-6 cows. We're on 207 acres in TN in between Nashville, and Knoxville. Going to order a bunch of Bison when I'm done viewing the video.
You never fail to bring every aspect of the agriculture community to us 'city slickers' and I, for one, am truly thankful. I am sorry if I sound like a broken record. But you make these types of videos very interesting as we learn the ins and outs of what these families do to make a living and do what they love to do, and that is half the battle of getting out of bed in the morning. For me, I love to mow grass and have a successful business. I don't mind getting up mornings, in the spring and summer, and getting out there making peoples yards look great!!! Much like you like getting out there and producing the food that feeds us.
Thank you so much I found this very interesting and thank and thanks to Scott for allowing us to see their operation. I know around here there are a few farmers who have breed bison and cows they call them beefalo!!! I have eaten bison cooked an old Indian way and OMG it was amazing!!! Thank you all again!!!!
I saw a report in the paper from North West Kansas. They described the wild herd showing up in the evening. They walked through the next day. The second morning the herd thinned out so they could fix fences and find the domestic cattle which got out and followed.
The Great Buffalo massacre didn’t wipe out the Buffalo.. It definitely contributed.. it was disease from cattle drives in the late 1860s 70s and 80s that killed 80% of the Buffalo.. it would be almost impossible to shoot 60 million... in such a short time frame..
Years ago after I graduated high school, I worked on a Water Buffalo ranch for a while. It was a lot of fun and great learning. The cows were crazy mean, but the bulls were really gentle.
So important to see the Bison looked after and not massacred like in my day it was a sad time, farmers are much wiser now thank God...GB yall stay safe folks.We get our Bison from a huge Timmins farm for winter meat it is amazing.
This is my America...I keep saying that because I live in the city. I am so impressed with the farms and families you bring us. These men and women are so well versed and educated in land and animal management. Very very cool.. love it.
Awesome to see and hear all of the knowledge from this gentleman. Truly great, he knows his stuff and you can tell that he is more than happy to share it and help others learn! Keep it up.
I’m a 67 year old youngster and just discovered down vests this season. They are warm, not as cumbersome as a coat, and in Oklahoma, vests are often all I wear in cooler weather. 😅😊
I had the opportunity to ride among Buffalo on Antelope Island State Park in Utah. It was quite the experience. One of those big bulls decided to come play....my black mule turned white and I just held on for the ride!
I really liked this piece. I am fortunate enough to visit a Bison farm here in Maine (I did his website for him) and it was some of the best hamburg I have ever had!!! The farmer could not grow enough bison to fill the market here in Central & Southern Maine and internet orders. Great content!
This is good stuff! My 82 year old dad and I look forward to your content. He was a kid in the 50’s from Oklahoma and went on harvest from Texas to Montana every summer. He reminisces often while we watch.
Nice to see livestock in another country. We have a few longhorn cattle on our farm here in the uk and I have one customer with bison here in the uk too
That is pretty cool, videos like this is why I love watching all the farmers on RUclips. You learn something new every video. This stuff is 100 time better than TV and movies. Nice work!👍
Omg, that brings back some memories for me. I grew up in Tea, SD, and used to go see the bison all the time. Now I live in Dallas and only see cars. :(
I absolutely love that you do these *literal* field trips. Thanks so much! Not even close to being a farmer but I do love seeing where my food comes from! Keep up the good work, Zach!
Eastern Washington state here. Absolutely love your videos Zack. Watched therm all. Just seen this one today. Ever heard of Frederick Dupree and Good Elk Woman in the late 1800s or so? My great great great great grandfather and grandmother. Plays a great part of saving the buffalo. Great family history. Love this episode
That was flipping amazing. I am a history buff and the demise of the Buffalo is a sad part of our history, but all the farmers who have helped to save this majestic animal is a credit to how we can right a wrong. God bless you.
Really interesting. He’s into the regenerative ag practices and mob grazing. Superb. Great insight. Scott seems a nice guy. “The best way to save a species is to start eating it” gold dust. I’d love to try some of that Bison meat.
@@aaronwilton8738 and Gabe Brown and a few others. It’s interesting stuff but I am a little sceptical around output levels. However, I do believe it’s the best way to farm quality nutritious and sustainable meat.
Great video to see this young family working and building the great american bison helping to expand the herds that were just about decimated. Also great to get people to eat the perfect meat,as the Indians knew so well!👍🇱🇷
All I heard when I read that was Crash Davis (Kevin Costner) saying... “God I hate it when people get the words wrong! It’s ‘Dancing With Wolves’ not ‘Dancing With The Wolves’!” Another great KC movie. ruclips.net/video/EroyjPcw3sg/видео.html Not being rude, just being sarcastic.
Keeping cattle in a narrow space, like they had predators around, allows for the turning over and fertilization of the ground. Water penetetrates and doesn't run off. Suddenly streams as water released. Practice discovered in Africa and beginning to be incorporated here with good results. Thank you PBS!
Zach, this is one of your best productions. I could not stop watching it. So interesting and why videos like this are not shown in schools is be-on me. I learned more about bison in 31:31 minutes than I've learned in my whole sixty something years of being on this earth. Now its time for me to get back to work.. Ironically Im on the other end of the food processing chain. I'm a broker for meat processing and packaging equipment which I sell world wide. Great job on this and seeing his little son said it all about the future of our industry. Thank you again.
Hello from Alberta Canada, Best informative video Ive watched in quite some time. Used to have a fellow who worked for me and also raised great bison. Got to where my kids only wanted Bison burgers. been thru SD many times, love your great state.
One thing that's always amazed me is how these guys keep track of the cattle when they run out in huge pastures like this. And keep up with all of that fencing
Link for our new Channel Between The Rows

It says I am the first subscriber. Brand new channel!
Thank you subscribe

Do they have any natural predators ?
Thank you for the link! Love the video! #betweentherows
One of the best informative episodes you’ve published. A stand up family that takes pride in there work. Thank you!

@@terrencesauve
This is so true. I am Metis from Manitoba. I only knew these great animals as Bison!
Zach, I'm so glad to see you lending your direct support to other working American farmers. Thank you and Becky too!!
Being a farmer myself I can say that this is absolutely the best way to run livestock, but unfortunately in England we don't have the space.

It’s so comforting to see the great knowledge of this young farmer/rancher
Pretty typical for a farmer. Many don't express themselves as clearly- Though the person asking questions makes quite a difference.
Zach and Becky your videos are such a relief from troubles in this world. For that I thank you!
Those guys should start a RUclips channel. That was really interesting. It’d be a good way to get their product moving around too.
Check out the channel Broken Arrow Bison. All things Bison started just a few weeks ago.
Just amazing, can you imagine when herds of 60 million roamed the prairies, talk about rolling thunder. great to see them doing well again, beautiful family. God Bless.
Thanks, that was really interesting. Scott did a great job explaining everything.
What a lovely couple. Good luck to them. Glad to see they're avoiding having crap made in China too.
Like the idea of separating after you are done breeding, sounds like a great life those bulls have.
This ranch is 5 miles from my family ranch. Known the family forever. Awesome to see this on here.
This one is a GREAT one, MMF. Thanks to you and your wife and the staff/employees of the BISON RANCH in SD.

Really interesting. Scott's knowledge and long term planning is very impressive. Thanks for taking us along on this !
Can you imagine how it looked when there where millions of bison moving on the prairie about 150 years ago.
I saw a report in the paper from North West Kansas. They described the wild herd showing up in the evening. They walked through the next day. The second morning the herd thinned out so they could fix fences and find the domestic cattle which got out and followed.
It must have looked like the wildebeests roaming in the Serengeti in Africa.
Not as many as there were but they are making a come back that's for sure we have lot's of him up here in Canada too in Alberta and Saskatchewan.
The Great Buffalo massacre didn’t wipe out the Buffalo.. It definitely contributed.. it was disease from cattle drives in the late 1860s 70s and 80s that killed 80% of the Buffalo.. it would be almost impossible to shoot 60 million... in such a short time frame..
@@artmosley3337 people shot them and just left them where they fell
I love to see the knowledge that these farmers have for their industry. Please include more farmers like these. And include more Becky!
I think they are the most majestic animal!
That was an AWESOME video.
I appreciate the hard work they do to make their Bison farm a success.
Years ago after I graduated high school, I worked on a Water Buffalo ranch for a while. It was a lot of fun and great learning. The cows were crazy mean, but the bulls were really gentle.
This is amazing! Seeing Bison running makes my heart happy ❤️
Greg Judy farming is the first that comes to mind with smaller pastures and moving livestock every couple days. Great video y'all!
Pretty cool that Wayne from Letterkenny actually farms when he's not filming

Zach I have to tell you this was an awesome video I learned a lot and I believe I will be ordering some bison meat soon thanks
This is the coolest video I have seen this year. Love the channel! You are like the Anthony Bourdain of farming.
Let's hope it ends on a happier note.
Too soon?
Thanks to all for being great Americans.. always enjoy
Great video. These Mens, womans, kid and bisons are fantastic and it's to be pleasure to see that. In the beautiful countryland
I love the camaraderie between farms no matter what you’re farming! This channel is great ! I’m hooked!

This was a cool video, learned a lot. Thank you to all the farmers and ranchers out there that grow and raise the food on our table.
What a great footage, all of these bisons running.
America still exists.
That was really neat seeing the bison. I like how you travel with your wife👍 keep it up!
Great video, such amazing animals. What a great farm and business.
Man that was cool to watch thanks for sharing!!!
He was a student of mine at Mitchell Tech. Good kid. That’s my coyote hunting ground.
Found myself in the middle of a Bison herd one night in Camp Pendleton CA. Was awed by how big they are.
How does one consume enough alcohol that they find themselves in a Bison herd?
Nice to see livestock in another country. We have a few longhorn cattle on our farm here in the uk and I have one customer with bison here in the uk too
These field trip episodes of other farms is AWESOME! So cool to see all that goes on behind the scenes of our food supply!
What did the Buffalo say to his son leaving for school? Bison!
Most under rated joke on the internet.
Dad joke extraordinaire
This is a classic. I busted it out for my kids at Yellowstone this summer. Eye rolling ensued...
Hahahahahahahahah lol
Lol good one
EXTREMELY INTERESTING! Young American families feeding America!
Thank you. This was a very interesting video.
It’s amazing how they have the Bison trained to follow the truck.
That is pretty cool, videos like this is why I love watching all the farmers on RUclips. You learn something new every video. This stuff is 100 time better than TV and movies. Nice work!👍
Omg, that brings back some memories for me. I grew up in Tea, SD, and used to go see the bison all the time. Now I live in Dallas and only see cars. :(
There's bison all over Oklahoma.
From England this is so interesting thank you
Zack & Becky you did a great job with this video...Keep up the great work.
LOVED this style of interview!! Appreciate how this young guy knows and loves his job and his life on the farm!
I might have to gift that bison sampler box to my brother in law. He loves grillin!
Very cool video. Hard to imagine that at one there was millions of them. What a sight that would be.
Awesome Video, thanks for taking us along!!!
Thanks for sharing Dakota Pure Bison. They care as much for the Bison as the land. Amazing.
Their little fella has a future in RUclips I think. He really performed for the camera!
I live in England so that video was really interesting for me, Thanks
Excellent video! Thanks Zach & Becky
I absolutely love that you do these *literal* field trips. Thanks so much! Not even close to being a farmer but I do love seeing where my food comes from! Keep up the good work, Zach!
Best farm/ranch visit yet!
I was waiting for a bison to smoke his truck. Great interesting stuff Zach.
Eastern Washington state here.
Absolutely love your videos Zack. Watched therm all. Just seen this one today. Ever heard of Frederick Dupree and Good Elk Woman in the late 1800s or so?
My great great great great grandfather and grandmother.
Plays a great part of saving the buffalo.
Great family history.
Love this episode
What a wonderful family! Ordering here to support them. these are the type people that make our country great! Thank You!
Ted was so cute 🥰 definitely a future farmer
That was the prettiest opening shot you've had yet! 🤪🤣
Very nice family and thank you Zach for bringing this to our attention. Very interesting and informative 👍 🇺🇸🦬🏁
Awesome video of Bison running behind U. Thanks!
I love that video, we have our own little heard down here in Memphis Tennessee at Shelby farms urban park. Around 75 head.
Knocked out of the park, again. Much appreciated!
Awesome video.nice to have a little more info on bison. I would also like to say thank you to you and your family for all that y'all do.
What an awesome site to see!! So cool. Thanks for the video.
Man this was a cool video
Had my attention the whole way
I live in winner and my step dad is cousins with him so great video
Bison running is an awesome sight.
Enjoyed the bison farm tour!😃
16:38 🤣 "The old school way of solar powering your water" Zach, that would be called wind power.😁🇺🇸
This was really interesting and cool to see, thanks!

@Clark Hamlin there's a RUclips channel - Cross Timbers Bison who are in Oklahoma and are a small bison farm. You might really enjoy them.
My brother and I purchased 4 females and 1 males bison in Idaho, what a experience that was. Cows are easy to raise.
Really interesting. He’s into the regenerative ag practices and mob grazing. Superb. Great insight.
Scott seems a nice guy. “The best way to save a species is to start eating it” gold dust.
I’d love to try some of that Bison meat.
agreed. scott seems a nice guy
You must watch Greg Judy eh
@@aaronwilton8738 and Gabe Brown and a few others. It’s interesting stuff but I am a little sceptical around output levels. However, I do believe it’s the best way to farm quality nutritious and sustainable meat.
That motto works for bison because they were never hunted for the meat.
@@benpattinson1 how are you skeptical about output levels? You don’t mean Gas Emissions do you?
I enjoyed and learned from that video. There is a herd of buffalo on Catalina island.
The herd on Antelope Island outside of Salt Lake City is comprised of animals from the original gene pool of North American Bison.
Since we came to Minnesota in '92 we've had bison, bought at the store and bought in burger form. Different but tastier than beef.
Great video to see this young family working and building the great american bison helping to expand the herds that were just about decimated. Also great to get people to eat the perfect meat,as the Indians knew so well!👍🇱🇷
Makes me want to watch the movie Dancing with the Wolves.
All I heard when I read that was Crash Davis (Kevin Costner) saying...
“God I hate it when people get the words wrong! It’s ‘Dancing With Wolves’ not ‘Dancing With The Wolves’!”
Another great KC movie.

Fire brewed !!!
I'm gonna call and ask for Ted now. 😂
🤣🤣🤣

I’ve done a lot of work on the grain bins on this farm. Great people!
Hello from Alberta Canada, Best informative video Ive watched in quite some time. Used to have a fellow who worked for me and also raised great bison. Got to where my kids only wanted Bison burgers. been thru SD many times, love your great state.
So they naturally separate after breeding. Seems to be a human trait! Very educational and interesting video.
Fantastic video. Entertaining and learned a lot. He really puts a lot thought into his work and can explain it to outsiders, awesome!
