I was thinking Pex too. Better than PVC. We have to go down minimum 6 foot in this area. But I've got a short straight line between the house and the garage without any obstacles in between so it shouldn't be too hard. Of course, now that I said that out loud… Lol.

@blackaxeranch If I wasnt so far away I would help ya ! I'm a retired plumber! Good luck ! Keep us posted ! Peace !

Thank you! And will do! Won't be doing anything about it until late next spring when the ground thaws out. Until then, we will be hauling buckets! Lol

It's a good idea. Ive seen several large bison ranches use them. It helps them get rid of that itchy winter coat come Spring. :-)

Thats the plan! :-) He won't be able to lift THAT! Lol

Hello!! :-)

That seems to be the most common suggestion. If we got lucky and were able to get a fecal sample, we could make more of a determination. But it has also been suggested that at least one other animal would also be afflicted. But we are going to try some feed containing fenbendazole and see if that helps. The only other real possibility is a mineral deficiency which we are also working on. And it is possible that she had a miscarriage…

​@@blackaxeranch I hope it wasn't a miscarriage where she was unable to expel the baby and other matter from the pregnancy. I would think though she would have a discharge if that was the case but not necessarily if it was early in the term... I pray she recovers soon.

Thank you! I haven't seen any indication of a miscarriage. But then there just might not be any. I think we need another round of dewormer

We have, but even they are stumped. It would be easier if we had a squeeze chute but that's a little further in the future for us at this point. Thank you for watching! :-)

Keep us posted and keeping you all in my thoughts.

Will do! Thank you!!! :-)

It's too bad you don't have a local vet with a traveling squeeze chute like doc Parsons. Have you called him (or Dusty) yet? I know I would. I grew up raising Angus cattle and Suffolk sheep and they are able to be tamed, unlike bison. It's a shame they just don't trust people enough to let people help them. That said, even tamed my cattle and sheep still had ornery moments. A steer once ran me over and broke my collar bone, a ram ran at me from about twenty yards away but I had no where to hide so I stood my ground and let him run at me. I sidestepped at the last moment but a moment too late as instead of missing me, he ran right between my legs, picked me up as he ran and slammed us both into the fence. He staggered as I jumped off and was able to get the hose I was watering the trees with and hit him with a hard blast of water as he set to charge again. I just kept blasting him with the water and he ran away from it into allow me to get up on my porch and inside my house. From then on I made sure I always had a charged water hose line with me when I was outside while he was not locked in his pen... That said Bison are different... I doubt that even if you bottle fed them that they would ever be trustful enough to allow more the scratches yours allow you to give them. I hope Ruby gets well soon!

Thank you! :-)

@@blackaxeranch ur welcome 🙏

Thank you! We have increased supplements for her. Basically like a multivitamin boost. I think she will be ok, it will just take time. 🤞

@@blackaxeranch That is great. Will keep Ruby and all of you in my prayers. 🤗

Lol, that sure would come in handy!! :-)

Lol! He sure has style!!! Thank you for watching! :-)

None whatsoever! They are nice and toasty warm with all that hair and they would be out playing even if it was -40°! :-)

Hello back! There is still a small possibility, but at this point, we are thinking not likely, unfortunately. :-( Sapphire, on the other hand, seems to be heading in that direction! Lol.

@@blackaxeranchAwe! Sapphire having a Red-dog this spring, awesome! I hope Ruby gets back to her old self again! MERRY CHRISTMAS to each of you! Remembering, the birthday of the Lord Jesus! 🌟👶🏼🙌🏻🎄 🦬🦬🦬🦬🦬😉

Not until the Spring. Just didn't quite have enough time to get it done this year. No heat for the shed, but I would like to run electrical out to it for lights. So we will store hay in the garage for another winter it seems...

Thank you!!!👍

Definitely! Very hungry! Lol. :-)

Sometimes the best shots are when you least expect them! Lol! Very happy you enjoy the video, thank you very much for watching! (and...I learned a little something, too! Thank you!)

I think Thor gets jealous! Lol! :-)

Thank you! And thank you for watching! :-)

Lol, they will love apples come Spring! 🍏 🍎

Good morning from Minnesota! :-)

Very true! Unfortunately the snow is melting, lol!

We were thinking the same thing. On one hand, she was hardly eating all week, but on the other hand, she could very well have miscarried at an early stage. I know some animals will sometimes consume the material that is ejected. Not to sound gross, but that's just the way it is sometimes.

@@blackaxeranch It is not gross what the animals do. It is nature. I am happy that she is getting better. 🤗

We sure did, not a whole lot, but enough to cover the ground. However, we've got a warm spell right now that is making it disappear, lol!

@blackaxeranch gotcha are u expecting calves next year

@jermainewyatt1995 we sure hope so, but not sure yet if they are pregnant...or just well fed! Lol!

@@blackaxeranch gotcha

Lol! You're probably right about that! Or vice versa, haha. Thanks for watching! :-)

They can be, lol!

Lol, I definitely agree!!

Lol! I guess I can't blame him! :-)

Im leaning toward concrete, lol. A good project for next Spring! :-)

Definitely advice worth considering. Thank you!

Maybe they share a great grandfather somewhere? Lol! Thank you for watching, you have a great Thanksgiving as well! :-)

Not exactly the way I wanted to start my Sunday morning, but overall I would say it was more entertainment than anything! Lol!

Hi Rick, funny you mentioned that because I was just saying the very same thing earlier today about the concrete feeder. That might just be a project for next summer. Stronger, more sturdy… And I'd love to meet the bison that could flip THAT up in the air! Lol! Actually, now that I think of it, I would rather not…🤔

Very true! Every one is a unique blend of characteristics! Like Forrest Gump says, "You never know what you're gonna get." Lol!

@blackaxeranch I'm preparing my place in SE Kansas to take on three to start. It has been a dream of mine since childhood to have bison
