    I really wish we had a “heart” button to push...love hearing about your bison. I’ve always loved seeing them on rare occasions in a field or on an animal show. So sad there aren’t more in North America. Thanks for doing all you are doing to raise healthy animals. Can’t wait to see the babies. Awesome videos too!

    This was one very fascinating video for many reasons:
    1. Your childhood love of animals
    2. Working with Crooked Horn and Daniel
    3. Your dreams and goals on being a part of bringing Bison back
    Truly enjoyed every part of this video! (Especially Eleanor) she's a sweetheart!

    Hey Dusty, I have have a love of bison for longer than I have been married (30 3/4 yrs.) We were looking for 50+ acres but we settled on 5 acres to be near our daughter and grandsons. We are still looking for 20+ acres near us to possibly raise bison or cattle if my lovely wife is too worried about working with the bison. Keep up your good work with them. We need more people like you.

    I just subscribed thanks to Arms Family Homestead who had a video of working your Bison on their channel. I know next to nothing about running a ranch or working cattle or bison so I joined to learn more. I am a retired research chemist from the pharmaceutical industry but I grew up on a small town in Northern California, have also always loved animals, and respected those who worked on farms and ranches for a living as well as back to basics lifestyle in what now sometimes seems like a bit of a crazy world that we live in. I look forward to watching more of your videos.

    Thank you for sharing that Dusty. In the beginning I got nervous with you standing there with your back to the bison. I was afraid that something could happen and you wouldn't see it because you were concentrating on the camera and not what they were doing, but then seeing you feeding one i started tp relax about you in with them. LOL i look forward to more video with your bison. I love that scene in Dances With Wolves were they are chasing the heard of Tatonka during the hunt and they are running amongst the herd! Just an amazing scene. Hey that reminds me Dusty did you ever check out that Appaloosa Stallion " Earthquake Ike " on UA-cam cutting a Bison from the herd? It's an awesome piece of video working the bison. It's taken I believe up in Canada. Good luck Dusty and thank you for posting!😃🏇🐎🐴

    I recently lost my position as a business analyst but I've been working on the side for a couple of years as a knife/scissor/tool sharpener and sharpening has become my full-time gig since then and it's treated me well. I've always had a distant interest in ranching, particularly bison, and I've been looking for some opportunities on operations like this to get into ranch hand work. Wonderful to see someone preserve the native animals and keep the system going as it was before industrialized man showed up. Kudos!

    It was always fun to drive past his farm and see a Mom and a calf in the corral in front of the barn.
    They have a reputation of being aggressive and he had a very high fence(people proofing), and then a row of bison proof fence...

    I read somewhere that the massive aquifer in the plains states is drying up and if it does and collapses it will never refill. It is my understanding that the bison, actually the lack of bison, is the root cause. Their massive grazing and fertilizing (poop) had/has some sort of impact on the water and now that the bison are gone....so is the water! Its not replacing itself at the rate it used to.

Have a blessed day and be safe my friend.

    Enjoyed your story. It's nice to know how your love of the Bison developed. Especially enjoyed the, "OH CRAP" I'm getting Bison part. Do you have any info on how the Vet got the Bison to start with?
    I would be interested to know your future plans. What do you do with Bison? Will you develop your herd to sell, butcher meat for your family, etc.? (Not sure you want to discuss if you plan on butchering, some get upset about that.) My father-in-law use to just tell his kids that the animal had a heart attack because the kids couldn't handle it and next thing you know they had meat in the freezer. You might have to do the same with the You Tube subscribers and just say that one of the Bison didn't make it (which would be the truth). You may be able to tell that I was raised on a working farm.

      I just want to grow my herd first of all. (Even though it takes a while longer than cattle) But yes, I want to sell some for meet and some for breeding.
      I love your thinking on this though....you are right! Your father-in-law sounds hilarious, but what a good reason for the animal to "disappear". Lol
      Thank you,
      Dusty
