We were up at Custer State Park. We think Tanaka would be a great name for the new bull. It means bison from the Native Americans. Love the LMNT product flavors.
If you do the old Atkins diet you will like it so much better. You can have some veges and salad. I think it is from the 60's. Carnivore diet is really not that great. I know as I have always been a meat eater but I also like a bit of salad! Just saying look into it. I love the bison meats I get from you! It is amazing. 👍💖🌴The Endy family from NE Florida.
Truthfully, hot wire fencing for bison and for that matter most cattle is nothing that will stop them, once they've gotten out once by breaking the wire, they will continue to break through no matter how many volts of electricity is going through them, BECAUSE they quickly figure -out once the wire is broken the "ZAPPING PRODUCING THE PAIN", STOPS i've know cattle go through 3 fences deep of hot wire, it's more effective to put up taller then the livestocks chest height wooden fences, painted white, they rarely will mess with that from of fencing
Been binge watching Dustys channel for a couple of months now , he is great at narrating these stories , I love the way he pronounces " BAAAS'N " We live in Wales Uk, in a farming area average farm is 120 acres , Oklahoma is 9 times the size of our whole country , we are about the size of New York State ! 😍😍🙏🙏🎥🎥🎬🎬 love n' hugs from Wales .
Cannot say it often enough save your self the headaches and put in wooded treated fence posts buy from Canada by the semi truck loads more cheaper with the exchange rate and will last you for generations. Only way to go with ranching. Hire a fencing crew and down like din din. We did 12 sections of land. Stress free.
Dusty, When you were talking about your LMNT drinks, it reminded me of the hilarious I Love Lucy episode when she was doing an advert for Vita-Meata-Vegiman! LOL You said, "and it takes good too", and Lucy said practically the same thing too before she got drunk, "And it's tasty too"! Hilarious! OK, I'm old... Bummer on the hot wire issue, but it'll probably happen again (and again).
Learned in RN school, In The late 1970's, to be well hydrated 1 hour before the exercise, hike playing a sport, etc. Then keep drinking 4-8 oz every half hour. Remember, when your mouth is dry, you are ALREADY Dehydrating... glad you were taught these ideas... Kinda interesting watching Big Joe STRUT through the opening!!! Good catch! Think about tieing an orange "flag"... on each section, top towards the left T post & the bottom hot wire, tie one near the right T post. That's so each segment has two flags, spaced not too far apart. Maybe even tio one atop the T posts!!! Just trying to help y'all!
Hey Dusty, I've been following your channel from your starter herd to now and then sync that with joining the low carb community (Carnivore/ketovore) to be exact. Welcome to my hood. 🎉 You've got a great meal source. I hope you check out the OGs in the community as this is helpful. For example Dr. Berry and Dr. Hampton and others. Just know your reason why you want to make this food management change and you'll stick to it for the right reasons for your wellness needs. I started the low carb journey 3 years ago and feel healthier than I've ever been for a 66 year old retiree. I'm down 120 lbs and cholesterol and bp numbers are golden. Staying the lifestyle keeps my osteoarthritis from flaring, my mind sharp, and sleep deep. There's a host of benefits you and your wife will personally witness. Love your channel. As you say, keep bison ranching sir.😊 Hope the hot wire system improves. P.S I just love that Eleanor and Bullet since I lost my doxie to old age and illness last year. Can't wait for your coming adventures with your horses. 😊
I love “carnivore”, have lost weight, and feel so much better in several ways. My joint pain went away, as did brain fog and mental outlook. I feel stronger too. The loss of visceral fat makes my weight loss look so different than ever before. I hope you enjoy it too!❤
Congratulations on starting carnivore with a group of friends! Friends keep you accountable and plus it’s just more fun to have friends around you eating the same way. I’ve been carnivore for almost 3 years! 😊❤
Dusty, HEAVY spring attached to the reinforced steel post with high tensile tungsten wire attached to the spring will be more likely to stretch instead of snapping/ breaking long enough for a few pulses to get their attention 🤠
Dusty, your keepers(insulators) are on the wrong side of the fence. You want the keepers holding the wire on the side that your animals (bison) are on. In the last video I noticed it and when the bison would push on the wire they just popped out of the keepers. My Mom taught me this as a young girl. We had horses though. We also put strips of fabric on the wires themselves in-between the t-posts so the wire is more visible!! Also, the tougher the hide the less chance they will feel the zap!! If they touch the wire with their nose or ears they will definitely get the Zap!! Our cows never respected the hot wire fence. Always make sure the grass under the wire isn't grounding it out!! With our horses after finding what grounded out the wire and fixing it we'd grab a piece of wire with rubber handled pliers and touch the hot fence with it. They'd hear the pop sound and stay away cuz they knew the wire was hot again!! I don't know if id try that with your fence though as its way higher voltage then ours ever were!!
Sounds like he will be alternating the pasture they are in so eventually they will be on the opposite side of the fence. Maybe alternating the side of the fence the wire is on, like they do with the wire guard rails we have here in MN>
You’re forced into being patient. It’s inspiring to watch. Every new thing pushes you and Marisa into a steep learning curve. No matter how much research you do. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
I'm 72 & been on carnivore for a year now. Lost 30#'s only walking 1/4 mile a day. I've stopped all but one med for BP. I strongly recommend it for everyone I meet. It helps mental & physical health. Lol, you need some fattier meats than bison. Bacon, eggs, meat, salt & cheese for me, so easy to shop for these items & bypass everything else.
Wow that was a bad deal getting your electric fence took out by the bison but you’ve got it all back up and repaired. They should remember that now hopefully. You’ll be good to go. Good video Dusty. 👍❤️
Dusty, I have been a carnivore for a long hot minute. One of the first things I noticed was that my inflammation went away, and all my fibromyalgia pain was gone. Then my Triglyceride dropped over 100 points in 3 weeks, and my doctor was shocked at that. My blood work has never been better. The cherry on top and the thing I am most excited about is that my IBS went completely away. Make sure you eat when you are hungry and stop when you are full because you are not getting extremely low carbohydrates in your body calories are not a problem. Eating enough food is the main focus, especially for you and Melissa because you are doing this for health. This is a way of eating and not a weight loss, although you can lose weight on it and significant weight. For me, I am having to learn to eat a lot more food to be able to lose weight. Trust me you will never feel better than you do when you eat carnivores. The LMNT will come in handy when first starting out once a day. Well because you guys are always out in the sun you might continue to drink it. I just salt my meat heavily. Partially, because my blood pressure is in the low end of perfection and salt is needed to keep it there. At least you have a great source of meat to eat!
@@joywebster2678aint that the truth! Eggs too. I miss my chickens so bad right now. Im just guessing the management of my apartment wouldnt look kindly on a dozen hens scratching up the place! 😂
@@stephanieaskew771 Basically. I eat 80-90% animal based foods. I do use seasonings now and some fermented veggies. I also drink coffee and tea. I eat veggies when we are guests or when we have the occassional "dinner out". 2 years ago I had a severe arthritis attack and it lasted for 6 months. Because I prefer to heal my body rather than treat the symtems with medications, an animal based life style (meat, seafood, fish, eggs, some dairy) was the answer. My blood work is excellent! I am now 71 years old and going strong!
Been watching crosstimbers bison from the very beginning and just to let you know that after having been 100% carnivore for the last 7 years you're going to be amazed at what this is going to do for your health .... I was so excited when I heard you say that you and Marissa were going to do the carnivore diet😊❤
Fences are only suggestions to Bison, but you know that. The corral pipe fencing is the only place they couldn't overpower or jump if they chose to. Hanging more strips of vinyl survey flagging on the hot wire might help to make the fence more visible to them until they learn to respect it.
I can definitely see how a Milwaukee power tool shock from a fence would not stop a Jurassic Park Dinosaur!!! How could a charge get through such a thick coat of fur? Can't stop a bulldozer.
Those kids! Eleanor's whispering in the others' ears. I think I heard her giggling off by herself. Jackie's sure showing you she's a good girl. Hope nobody's got a hole in them from snapping that T-post in two. That's a LOT of power on the hoof.
Hi , I'm from Canada and I just started watching your videos and I enjoy watching them , my Uncle was a farmer but in Beef Cows and I find your videos are Excellent, your Bison are alot like Beef cattle , I'm enjoying your content .❤❤
Bck in WI, when they were training heifers to electric fence, they would hang corn cobs with wire from the electric fence. they would wrap their tongue around the cob, and spit that bad boy out quick. but, they learned what an electric fence is. :) also flags in the middle between the posts would help alert them.
Okay Dusty on homestead horsemanship the last video that they just posted a day in the life of a farmer or whatever rancher at about 13 minutes I believe it was he shows the electric fence that he uses and its solar powered
I gotta give y'all a BIG PAT on the back for your patience. After putting that hot wire up and all it took to do it then to have it ripped down just a short time later. God's blessings to y'all for sure !! Dear sweet princess Eleanor gotta love seeing her 🦬 👑 🤗 thank ya for sharing this part of your lives with us I always look forward to a CTB video !!
I believe you said you got the new bull from a couple by the name of Bonnie and Joe so I thought maybe you could honour them by combining parts of their names to name the new bull “BonJo” just a thought but it really sticks in my head lol. I think he’s going to be a great bull once he gets his little harem of ladies to date/mate. I can’t believe those big turds broke through your electric fence already, wow! ♥️🙏🏻🇨🇦
Dusty you guys might want to look at putting more of those flags up. I noticed that where the damage occurred didn't seem to be many flags. So I'm wondering if maybe they scuffled near a part of the fence and didn't realize it was there until they ran into it. Just a thought.
If the middle third of the post is protected because of the wire, but the top is not they are going to learn very quickly that they can pop the wire off by just bending the top of the post. The other thing, thick fur is very good at moving the charge to the outside. Charge wants to be away from the center so if the fur makes contact the charge will be softened by the redistribution of the charge over the surface.
Dusty You are needed to wet the ground where you drove the ground line to. I recommend ribbon on the wire to help see the wire , in the dark ,, I ran 48 head of horse in a wire for 10yrs plus behind wire ,, the ground line is a key for the wire to be able to work ,
You n Marissa n Your Friends work so HARD to take care of your BISON n one of them Decided to go wherever😢God Bless You n Have Jesus to Keep them safe n get them back where they belong!!!
I was going to make a comment about this but I had to be somewhere. My brother-in-law had some Belgian horses including a big stallion. Said stallion busted through that like it wasn't even there. I figured the bison would do the same thing
I have 30+yrs. You might try a thicker wire. Tractor supply might have it. Put a solar charger at the bottom of the line and only charge the bottom wire. Run the top wire from your existing charger. I’d leave the small wire up,since it’s already up.
Best way to eat healthy is to find local sources for *all* your food (including yours). I barely go to grocery store anymore for anything, I have a farm stand for veggies,and a farm stand I go to for all my meat! All my food comes from a 40 mile radius from my house, and honestly i've felt so much better. Notice i start to feel ill/iffy if i get meat from the regular store. Makes a huge huge difference.
Possibly the electrical tape (which is white and about 1/2" wide) might be more visual and they might possibly check it out with their nose close enough to get a shock before walking through. Their wet nose is probably the only opportunity to receive a decent and effective shock. Thanks.

OK, I don't know anything about Bison ranching but if i was putting up that fence i would run barbwire on two bottom rows and the hot wire on the top two rows and that might keep them from busting thru????
Can you alternate the insulators on each post to have one on one side and the next on the other side of the post so no matter which side they may try to push the wire, not every insulator is going to snap off? (In theory) I hope I explained that okay.
☘️🇮🇪🇺🇸 ROFLMAO OH YEAH kinda like walking out my back door to find my 200lb ram chewing his cud on the roof of my van w/the “ morning ma thought I’d check out the view” & my girls cleaning the last of my garden out for me. Yeaaaah .. blessings
As with anything new that you try to have to adjust things until you get it where it will do the job you need it to. Maybe another strand or putting t-post closer together will help. GOD bless y'all.
Dusty we had a electric fencing in our back yard to just keep in our dog. He was pretty good size about 125 pounds. But no Bison. However When he was taking a piss the stream somehow managed to hit the fence and it ran up and zapped his man hood. And he tan off squealing like a little girl. And around the same time I was using my vacume to suck the dirt that builds up around the back door ehere it connects to our mud room on the house. Well I managed to hit that hot wire and honestly it felt like all hell went off in my body. I lost my eye sight in my right eye and it lasted for a week. Both of my arms felt as if I had been beaten with a baseball bat. It was horrible. My point is you need to be prepared that possibly one of your bisons just might hit their eye area on this new fence and it may really cause some serious injuries. So be very cautious with this fencing. I for one would never ever use such a device again. Its cruel. 😢❤️
How about sticking some of those non-permanent fence pieces staggered down the line to help in training?? Didn't seem like the adult bison were getting zapped with all that fur?? Thanks for sharing! What a bunch of hooligans!
Dusty, this must have been so frustrating! I hope the bison learn how to stay on the correct side of the fence for you. If it doesn't work, then what method will you use for fencing instead? There sure is more work involved with raising bison than I ever imagined. There's no time for you to get bored, is there? It's always great to see Marissa! How is Brooks? I hope y'all are enjoying the weekend. With prayers, love and gentle hugs for the 3 of you and your critters, too. God bless y'all, Donna Gulyas in Florida. 🥰🙏🙏🙏🦬🐎🌴
Do you ever use you horse to go check on the Bison. I do realize the vehicles are quicker and can carry more. Just curious. God Bless 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻. I Love watching the Bison
How do ya keep a buffalo put? Still a good question with Big Joe herd. Had to laugh. Don't understand how they even feel the thing with all that hair/fur on them. Love your channel. Every day is a new adventure. Better than TV any day. Keep on keeping on.
I was wondering, can bison even feel the electric shock from the fence? Bison have thick tough hide so do you think this fence is a good idea ? I love your videos!!❤
Need to put more flagging between posts. For the distance you have between posts I would put att least 4 flags. Found with cows the more flagging worked the best to keep them from breaking the wire. For bison I would use barbless wire as it heavier and slow them down
I really love Eleanor. Dang now to fix it & hope they feel the zap to learn. I like keto it has lots of eggies. Stay safe & take care of you all. Thanks for sharing, eh :))
All his ground and tell the new guy you definitely don’t be long and since you weren’t watching they decided to fight and they were probably going head to head and one was probably back wards and it didn’t even matter what they touched! Lol!!
Are there bigger insulators that go clear around the post, those come off too easy. Also, it might work better if you have bigger posts possibly big round wood posts which is how I normally see it. I know it works with bison, but those posts you use mean all your fences are honor fences. The bison can plow down any fence on your property.

You may have to keep it on constant until they start to resect it. I had a bull calf that was that way.
If the middle third of the post is protected because of the wire, but the top is not they are going to learn very quickly that they can pop the wire off by just bending the top of the post.

Dusty You are needed to wet the ground where you drove the ground line to. I recommend ribbon on the wire to help see the wire , in the dark ,, I ran 48 head of horse in a wire for 10yrs plus behind wire ,, the ground line is a key for the wire to be able to work ,
❤ They are like toddlers 😊
You n Marissa n Your Friends work so HARD to take care of your BISON n one of them Decided to go wherever😢God Bless You n Have Jesus to Keep them safe n get them back where they belong!!!
Love your channel. Thank you. I am a great fan of LMNT too. 😎
I was going to make a comment about this but I had to be somewhere. My brother-in-law had some Belgian horses including a big stallion. Said stallion busted through that like it wasn't even there. I figured the bison would do the same thing
BIG JOE❤❤❤
My late husband always enjoyed fencing together.
My grandson uses that LMNT all the time, he runs XCountry and it keeps him competitive.
Thanks. 👊🏼✌🏻
I have 30+yrs. You might try a thicker wire. Tractor supply might have it. Put a solar charger at the bottom of the line and only charge the bottom wire. Run the top wire from your existing charger. I’d leave the small wire up,since it’s already up.
I guess there's a learning curve to this with the Bison. So sorry you had to do so much work to fix the Bison's demolition of your hot fence!
Best way to eat healthy is to find local sources for *all* your food (including yours). I barely go to grocery store anymore for anything, I have a farm stand for veggies,and a farm stand I go to for all my meat! All my food comes from a 40 mile radius from my house, and honestly i've felt so much better. Notice i start to feel ill/iffy if i get meat from the regular store. Makes a huge huge difference.
Thank you Dusty for the update on how things are going in Oklahoma !
Eleanor always sweet. That electric wire wiping stop those big guys n gals.
Possibly the electrical tape (which is white and about 1/2" wide) might be more visual and they might possibly check it out with their nose close enough to get a shock before walking through. Their wet nose is probably the only opportunity to receive a decent and effective shock. Thanks.
I love Miss Eleanor ❤
We put plastic strips cut from grocery bags. The brighter color the better I think..we had horses.
YES IT IS LMINT IS VERY GOOD
What did he do?!! I'll bet if you asked, he'd say, "Job security, dude." Then chuckle. He has no idea how busy you are already.

the Ele-fence Manual
Installation of low-cost solar-powered fences to manage human's elephant herd
It's like trying to keep wooly mammoths out with toothpicks and yarn, it don't look good 🙈
I enjoy watching your beautiful animals
I think you're going to need some Jurassic Park level of posts and hot wire.
OK, I don't know anything about Bison ranching but if i was putting up that fence i would run barbwire on two bottom rows and the hot wire on the top two rows and that might keep them from busting thru????
I love watching your ranching videos.❤
Can you alternate the insulators on each post to have one on one side and the next on the other side of the post so no matter which side they may try to push the wire, not every insulator is going to snap off? (In theory) I hope I explained that okay.
Maybe you should secure the Tpost with a wooden post do like a 2x4 on the top and another half down so they can see the wire. Fencing is so expensive
That was a big mess!! Eleanor is such a sweety!!😀😃
☘️🇮🇪🇺🇸 ROFLMAO OH YEAH kinda like walking out my back door to find my 200lb ram chewing his cud on the roof of my van w/the “ morning ma thought I’d check out the view” & my girls cleaning the last of my garden out for me. Yeaaaah .. blessings
Are you and Marissa ever gonna give Brooks a brother or sister?
As with anything new that you try to have to adjust things until you get it where it will do the job you need it to. Maybe another strand or putting t-post closer together will help. GOD bless y'all.
I talked to a bison rancher here in Utah and he uses hot wire too . He sets the Hot wire at 10,000 volts
Oh my goodness Bless you, hate it when that happens 😢
Dusty we had a electric fencing in our back yard to just keep in our dog. He was pretty good size about 125 pounds. But no Bison. However When he was taking a piss the stream somehow managed to hit the fence and it ran up and zapped his man hood. And he tan off squealing like a little girl. And around the same time I was using my vacume to suck the dirt that builds up around the back door ehere it connects to our mud room on the house. Well I managed to hit that hot wire and honestly it felt like all hell went off in my body. I lost my eye sight in my right eye and it lasted for a week. Both of my arms felt as if I had been beaten with a baseball bat. It was horrible. My point is you need to be prepared that possibly one of your bisons just might hit their eye area on this new fence and it may really cause some serious injuries. So be very cautious with this fencing. I for one would never ever use such a device again. Its cruel. 😢❤️
How about sticking some of those non-permanent fence pieces staggered down the line to help in training?? Didn't seem like the adult bison were getting zapped with all that fur?? Thanks for sharing! What a bunch of hooligans!
Love this video ❤❤❤
I didn't think that would work for those hughe beast when I saw it yesterday there to big and have a lot of fur child's play to them
Hello Marisa Dusty and Brooke
Dusty, this must have been so frustrating! I hope the bison learn how to stay on the correct side of the fence for you. If it doesn't work, then what method will you use for fencing instead? There sure is more work involved with raising bison than I ever imagined. There's no time for you to get bored, is there? It's always great to see Marissa! How is Brooks? I hope y'all are enjoying the weekend. With prayers, love and gentle hugs for the 3 of you and your critters, too. God bless y'all, Donna Gulyas in Florida. 🥰🙏🙏🙏🦬🐎🌴
Do you ever use you horse to go check on the Bison. I do realize the vehicles are quicker and can carry more. Just curious. God Bless 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻. I Love watching the Bison
How do ya keep a buffalo put? Still a good question with Big Joe herd. Had to laugh. Don't understand how they even feel the thing with all that hair/fur on them. Love your channel. Every day is a new adventure. Better than TV any day. Keep on keeping on.
Advocare rehydrate is great!
I was wondering, can bison even feel the electric shock from the fence? Bison have thick tough hide so do you think this fence is a good idea ? I love your videos!!❤
Watching you from Delaware.
Need to put more flagging between posts. For the distance you have between posts I would put att least 4 flags. Found with cows the more flagging worked the best to keep them from breaking the wire. For bison I would use barbless wire as it heavier and slow them down
Have to say, the fence held up a lot longer than then I thought it would. 😂
I really love Eleanor. Dang now to fix it & hope they feel the zap to learn. I like keto it has lots of eggies. Stay safe & take care of you all. Thanks for sharing, eh :))
Concrete wall should work 😅😅
All his ground and tell the new guy you definitely don’t be long and since you weren’t watching they decided to fight and they were probably going head to head and one was probably back wards and it didn’t even matter what they touched! Lol!!
Are there bigger insulators that go clear around the post, those come off too easy. Also, it might work better if you have bigger posts possibly big round wood posts which is how I normally see it. I know it works with bison, but those posts you use mean all your fences are honor fences. The bison can plow down any fence on your property.
Dusty i 😢 think they let you know what they think of that WIRE!. 😮 😂
