The vet gave antibiotics and I kept that yak cow up in an individual pen for a week to monitor her. She came through fine and rejoined the herd and went on to have other healthy calves in the following years. Your care for the bison is second to none! Good work!

      YES, the waiting , and worry about a Mother bison, on a ranch halfway across the country….I saw the header “ We did what we could” and was braced for bad news. Then, I am overjoyed to see her on her feet, very much alive. I have a good feeling that she will make a full recovery. I know there were many, many prayers for a miracle. To bring a new life into this world, takes a lot of love, and and suffering and sacrifice, pain, and commotion, Joy and sometimes sorrow and loss. I laid awake and remembered when I was full term with my first child, and my cat was aslo full term .We would have a baby and kittens in our home at the same time. Oh, the joy! . My cat disappeared for 2days, and my husband searched for her, she had found a spot in the basement and was in labor. he took her to the vet, and i got the call, he couldn’t save her, kittens stillborn and she died. I begged my husband , please do not let that happen to me!! My son arrived safely and he gave me 4 grandchildren. i dream about when the great grandchildren will come. And dream about many more little red dogs for Dusty in the years to come, and one of them a special reward from Miss Texas. ❤ Dusty, you are a shining example of a good shepherd, you gave everything you had to save just one..

      I only thought the birth area was flushed after open c- sections? Natural birth of mammals ie cows etc its hopefully able to pass ( after birth etc)and the antibiotics and good nutrition for now is wonderful.
      Keep talking softly and reassuredly to her. She knows and trusts you.
      As someone with animals, pay attention to her scent. You already know what is normal and when to get more assistance with her needs.

      I'm guessing that your cousin lives in Texas or one of the several other states that have recently (in the past year courtesy of the Supreme Court deciding that Roe vs Wade decision wasn't a right for women to continue to have when it comes to their healthcare, cause let's be honest, Republicans don't care about women or people in general unless it's a relative of their own) passed laws that outlawed care for abortions or even miscarriages (the bodies natural abortion reaction when it determines that the body of the mother or genetics of the baby-> fetus isn't suitable for life of the mother or baby)......(?)
      Hopefully, your cousin's body (uterus) was able to pass EVERYTHING (all of baby's body parts, amniotic sac and placenta) and nothing was retained as she could still be at risk of infection or worse (as I'm assuming that this was a wanted pregnancy/child) potential for causing infertility (inability to carry another pregnancy to term safely or even be able to get pregnant again) or even cause death to your cousin herself.

Even more importantly, if the mother's body (uterus) doesn't expell everything associated with the pregnancy (see my initial response) then everything from future chances at getting pregnant to death (again, see my initial response) is a possibility.
      A miscarriage (human non-medical term) for what is happening (spontaneous abortion-> an abortion performed by the mother's body because either something is wrong with the mother's health or the mother's body detects something wrong at a genetic level with the fetus/wanted pregnancy). However, even with a spontaneous abortion=humanities term of miscarriage the mother's body has to expell all parts of the pregnancy cause the mother's life becomes a ticking time bomb for everything from issues to future ability to get pregnant to death herself as a result of infection from not expelled uterine contents that are decomposing.

    I hope she makes a complete recovery. When those buffaloes were crossing over in the pond, all I could think of were those old wildlife episodes where the alligators/crocodiles grabbed the wildbeasts and pulled them under the water. And the zebras. Good luck with all of your buffalo herds. Hey, I like your kiddie fishing pole. Anyway, have a good day.

    Thanks for the update on your Texas cow. Quite the ordeal you had getting the stillborn out. If that occurs God forbid as an Army Medic sometimes it was necessary to apply Vicks vapor rub under your nose for the Oder. Hopefully she’ll recover well. 🙏🙏🙏🦬🦬🦬

    Sending Prayers to your family and for the TX cow in her recovery. It is always a wait and see kind of thing with animals on a ranch. I hope Marisa is okay after getting out of those boots. I grew up in TX and am familiar with all of those little critters around the ponds. Just watch out for cotton mouth snakes they can be bad. So happy to see that you are sponsored by my very favorite Fishing Clash!! Have a blessed rest of the week & weekend!!

    She's hanging on and hanging in. If you can get her to clean out (ie. deliver the rest of what's in her) and keep her on broad spectrum antibiotics, high cal feed and as stressless a place as possible, she'll probably pull through. As far as the why ---- Mother Nature sometimes does that and some years really suck!

  • @Stephanie-kt9vh

    Dusty and Marissa, THANK YOU for sharing this with us. I know it's hard, I know how much you care about all your animals and you see them as the gift from God they are as well as you take seriously when God said He has given us charge over the animals. I have watched your channel from the time you started, when Dusty was still teaching and you first got your little starting herd. We are SO proud of all you and Marissa have done and how you have grown with your ranch(s), physically, emotionally, and personally. I have used your channel as a teaching tool as a homeschooling Momma, and this is so important to our learning. My oldest is going into the 6th grade, and this will be part of his lessons when school starts in a few weeks. We have been deep diving into America and exactly what was, is and will be, what we have lost as a Country and those who are trying to save the things we are on the verge of losing. (The 3 and 5 year olds will have to learn this part later) and this is critical to my oldest, to ME, to know and understand to preserve life, ALL LIFE that God has given us. You did NOT ramble Dusty, without someone teaching, we fail to learn, without knowledge we fail to preserve. Don't ever apologize for carrying enough for your herds and US to care for them and TEACH US!! (God made you a teacher for a reason) I can tell you because of you and Marissa, your Mom and Kevin, these animals have a special place in my heart. I knew about them but never understood them until you allowed us to take this journey with you! If I could ranch any animal I would want it to be Bison because of YOU GUYS!
    Thank you for caring for them, and for us. For sharing the truth and DETAILS good and bad so we can understand the reality of caring for these majestic creatures. I'm not sure y'all understand what a gift you are to us, and how deep the lessons and preservation roots run just from what you're doing. Keep up fighting for these gifts, we will keep supporting and most of all PRAYING for the animals, your ranch, BOTH places, and most of all for you, Marissa and Brooks.
    Well Done Dusty, well done!

    Nature has it's own plan. You as a chosen caretaker are doing a Great Job!!! Rember the story from Paul Harvey that's why God made a caretaker/farmer/rancher/herdsman and a shepherd
    Dusty we use a rifle that takes a dart to shot into the cow or calf. Less stress on the animal. Our vet has done this many times times to keep beast and man safe well.

    Dusty, thank you for sharing your passion(s) with us. City girl here with 'a few' decades behind me and all I've ever known about Bison I've learned from you (and sometimes even 'with' you)!!. This latest situation with 'Ms. Texas' is more than anyone could expect, let alone even try to handle. Your attention and efforts with her these past days truly reveals your heartfelt care, concern, love and respectful relationship with all in your entire herd, your ranch, of course your wife, child and family AND your viewers. Yes, indeed, she knew she needed help and remarkably, 'so far, so good'. Sorry many of us haven't the know-how to be 'helpful', but please know that we're staying strong and hopeful for you/yours AND 'Ms. Texas'. 🤞🤗 🙏

    God bless you, all your family, & all the ranchhands working with you. ❤😂

    I grew up on a dairy farm and yes this did happen. But way back then Vets came out to the farm and handled the situation. Sorry i cant help. I do hope she does recover though. The remaining parts of the calf really need to be evacuated. I dont know the meds for bisons to help with this problem though. I am hoping for you that she has a chance to survive. Bless you.

    So sorry Dusty for the Texas cow’s unfortunate loss of a calf. I was crying when I realized what you were having to do to try to save your beloved bison. Thanks for remaining transparent in your struggle, I’m not sure most of us could have handled it with as much grace as Marissa and you did. Both of you are a great team and I appreciate your sharing your venture with us. Continued success in saving the mama bison.
