We have a herd of bison in Golden Gate Park in the middle of San Francisco. Who knew?

[@Lonepine_Bison]

Yeah it is sad cause they have no bulls and no social structure (I live VERY close to it).

I just went there and it was amazing to see!! I was shocked lol

I remember going there as a kid.. it was a sight to see especially back then because they were on the brink of extinction!

Good afternoon. 🥰 You gotta love those bison. 👏👏👏 Usually a calm beautiful animal.

[@baskervillebee6097]

Grew up near Canyon, Tx. Charlie Goodnight had 2 pet bison that he insisted keeping in town for tourists. They always got out and ran around town. They were considered major headaches. Nobody said no to Mr Goodnight, but they didn't do well in a little corral in town. The last one was stuffed and put in the local museum.

[@bonniewooters6796]

👍👍👍. What a great speaker you are and the Association needs to have you speak as you educate new ranchers and work with older long time ranchers to giving a helping hand to continue the growth of the Bison. But mostly working ones own herd so that they trust you and they become calmer too. Hard to believe it’s only been three years since you began with your own small herd but your enthusiasm seems like you’re an owner for many more than three years. You not only educate yourself but willing to reach out for help and discussion with those who’ve been doing this far longer. Been watching you ever since Daniel Arms suggested to watch a family member doing something a little crazy and not an animal he wished to own on his farm. Saw your ups and downs and the sadness of loss and seen how you love upon your herd so that they are calm when you’re around. So I’m for sure excited about the future for you having more Bison and all the exciting new things you’re planning on your journey to helping the Bison make a comeback. Hard to believe it’s only been three years you’ve had your herd cus you always seem to be studying and asking for help and definitely learning how to do things better in order to raise your favorite animal......the majestic Bison. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@sharonnowlin2297]

LOVE this video, so interesting. I love seeing the bison running and playing, they look like they are running on Pogo Sticks!! You are so good with your animals, but unless I can take care of them from the outside of the fence. I still think you must be a little crazy to go inside the fence with the bison, since that can get really crazy from time to time!!

[@sandymayfield6505]

Hey Dusty...I love your enthusiasm and dedication to these beautiful Animals! I will continue to follow my Cross Timbers addiction!!

Me too! And I still want to brush them. Lol. 🐂

OMG!! I have been wanting to try to make this the year. I joined MOBA last year and now I find myself financially stressed out due to a car accident. However, the government is throwing around a lot of money! So, the dream is getting really close. The information in this video is such a blessing to me. Thank you for your wealth of knowledge.

[@dianacox2293]

Hi dusty i just am very curious about the bison herd. I have lots of movies with buffalo in them and was fasicinated. They are america, they roamed along time. I am so amazed how you can reach up and pet elanor who seems to be a sweetheart. And dunbar seems to be gentle, but i know you have to keep on watch all the time your around them. They are majestic looking. I live here in kansas. I didnt know we had bison in Kansas. Great video dusty.

[@amymayer1119]

I love how knowledgeable you are. Also, how you're willing to become more even more knowledgeable in the raising of these great animals.

[@bunnygaffney2765]

love watching them run and play they are amazing animals. wish you had a video everyday..

[@ClipCoyote]

I would LOVE to raise Bison! Its the finding and buying of decent land with water thats tough. As far as I'm concerned you are living the dream though! Ill talk to the USDA and NRCS in Nevada!

[@janicelholland8051]

I could sit and just watch them for hours. If you check out Fermi lab in Illinois yrs ago they rescued a buch of bison and they have raised many babies. Trying to bring back bison because they where almost gone I would sit in my car for hours just watching them in just awww. Love to see them running through the snow playing acting like little kids. Love from Wheaton Illinois

[@darinbennett3638]

Dusty, hats off to you and your family for what you're doing on your ranch. You're a great example and role model to those wanting to raise bison and your passion for it shows. Keep doing what you're doing and prayers for safety and growth of your herd.

[@tidelovinyankee1368]

Great video. Glad to see bison meat become more available. A little pricey, but worth the cost. I buy entire rib roasts from our local HEB grocery store here in San Antonio, and cut them myself to the thickness I desire. Wonderful meat. Please keep encouraging ranchers to get into bison ranching.

When I was considering taking the plunge I watched videos like yours. Everyone does things differently and you can learn alot by seeing it for yourself, people are more than willing to share. Having recently started a 70 head herd myslef I'm shocked and appreciate that you are able and actually willing to video some of it. As you know some of the best moments are sadly not caught on video. I learned a lot watching videos like yours, maybe I should make more on an effort to capture it and share it out. If you ever roll through Eastern Kansas let me know!

I remember the trailer accident. I would love to raise bison one day. I hope your patience and hard work start to pay off

[@Automedon2]

If all cattle could be raised the way these bison (and perhaps most?) are raised, the issues surrounding the mass production of meat would be eliminated - feed lots, long distance hauling, antibiotics. It's too bad there isn't the land to raise all the meat we eat this way. I eat very little meat just because of the mass production issues, but if I could afford to eat bison, I would every day. The quality of life that the bison at CTB have is second to none.

[@kathleencarragher8194]

I am in no position to ever have bison, but I sure love watching them! Your channel gives me a perfect opportunity to see these majestic and powerful animals. My one year old granddaughter is excited to view, also.

Went to a farm that is hilly and they use woven wire fence. They have more sloped pastures so it’s hard for the bison to charge up the hill and jump it. They don’t even electrify it which is wild.

The first time I seen a bison up close was at a native American powwow I use to go to I worked for the lady who owned the bison and she said that she was the only person who could get near it because he would attack anyone else who try to get in the pin with him and I asked her if I could get in there with him I told her that he wouldn't attack me so she told me to enter at my own risk and I got in the pin with and started petting him and scratching his head and she was shocked and asked me how I knew he wasn't going to hurt me I told her two reasons one he showed no signs of aggression to me and two my native American name means big buffalo plus my spirit animal is a buffalo most animals don't scare me I'm more scared of certain reptiles had a bad experience with them at a young age
