American Bison Ranch in Montana! ( EXCLUSIVE TOUR! )

"You've got to make sacrifices to live the dream"... How true!!

[@pattdunn9845]

Sitting in Chicago as a kid and after reading about Buffalo, I wanted to go to Colorado and raise Buffalo. My teacher laughed at me so I never gave it another thought after 1973. Now, today I wish I had after watching this. Good luck with your ranch. Thanks, Trinity for the video.

[@bobbyb7127]

You sound like you are about my age. Never give up on your dream. I would also love to do something like that.

[@fks-pv8il]

A Teacher may be the worst person to discuss a career or dream with….

[@judycampbell842]

Never let a "teacher" tell you what you can't accomplish.

[@crankbaitincowboy9053]

When I was 7, I told my teacher on career day that I wished to be a “jack of all trades” and she laughed, but I was serious. Now, at 14, I’m a cowboy/ranch hand, certified machinist, certified woodworker, and certified construction worker, I do leather working, forging, electrical, and a tiny bit of plumbing, and I even know hot to perform all types of car maintenance. I QuickDraw SAA revolvers, shoot lever guns, (and pretty much all the guns I can, but mostly the cowboy guns) and just up clay pigeons all day. I’m a successful huntsman and fisherman, and I’m learning about the process of buying and successfully owning a full time cattle ranch. Most importantly, I’ve come to a great understanding of my purpose here on earth through a great family and amazing relationship with the Lord. I know I sound like I’m bragging, but trust me, I’m not trying to show off. It sounds cheesy, but don’t let no yells-belly coward tell you what you can do, just go for it. If it don’t work out, try again, or try something else, but stay motivated. I know you may be a bit older than I am, but it’s never too late. I have friends my age who have passed on already, and many of my family members and close friends, seemingly perfectly healthy have passed on too soon. Live life to the fullest, and be safe. God bless y’all!

[@chrystalynnkelly5325]

That teacher had no right teaching. I hope you can still live your dream.

[@grahamrichards193]

As a leather craftsman and wannabe cowboy in the UK, I was delighted to come across your channel today. I really felt for you when you broke your rib and this video was just so enlightening and informative. I’m hoping in the next few years to visit the States and explore the SW and W. Maybe I’ll get to Montana and see these magnificent creatures for myself and even get a chance to chat with you over a beer! Thank you.

Well.........the good thing about the old vehicles that some of us still drive is that when ya open the door, that little rain gutter edge that the new fancy trucks don't have, keeps the snow from falling down on the seat. 😉

Struck a strong accord with me on two points: 1) Had a FJ40 for about ten yrs, from S. Calif, Phillipines, Oregon, Puerto Rico, Gitmo Cuba, Mississippi. And 2) First rifle i bought was a Win Mod 70 Featherweight in .280 Rem. With handloads i've taken squirrel, rabbit, coyote, whitetail deer, black bear, bighorn sheep, elk, moose. Basically a 30-06 in 7mm. Living in the botton of the 'Root, Missoula . . .

[@diggetydogdoggetydoo]

I'm sorry you broke a rib and are in pain. Breaking a rib has been a blessing for me and other viewers. I'm loving the "visits" to other ranches and learning a great deal.

[@colinkobel2868]

This is one of the most informative programs about raising buffaloe for profit that I have ever seen. Understanding the animal is completely different than beef cattle. I have been exposed to them on a limited basis, but enough to respect and admire them. Great job and stay in touch with them!

[@bryanfox2735]

I’m living on my sweet whitetail doe I got this year and it’s the purest good eating don’t mess with your guts meat!! It’s truly a gift from god!!!

[@flynbrian529]

this is soo cool , i also live in MONTANA and love BISON this guy has something going good with family ..GOD BLESS

[@skyval6359]

I love that you're doing this , we really need more bison ranches ..... the bison is super healthy meat , has a different effect on the human body and as the Indians said , the buffalo is medicine . It's still a genetically wild animal , a natural animal , not genetically modified and messed with like most modern cattle . The bison restores the prairie unlike domestic cattle , prairie dogs come back and then black-footed ferrets , all necessary for a healthy grassland. Their hooves affect the ground in a positive way . I have not eaten storebought meat in decades and I only eat wild game , deer , elk , blackbear and grassfed bison which are at a store , of course , but still genetically wild so I make that exception . I hope yours will be grassfed and finished , not grain finished . You'll have a constant market with the large natural food stores and high end restaurants and chefs . I'd buy from you ❤

[@ericameyerchandelieralves]

Man, my heart when he talked about the mental aspect of needing this lifestyle. It is my feeling exactly 💯. Need to be out there. In wide open spaces and nature. I don't know too much about Bison ranching, so this was quite interesting.

[@neolithicnobody8184]

Back in the 80s I worked on a dairy farm(4,000+ Holstein) in Ohio that had 12 buffalo and one beefalo(Holstein mix). The beefalo was HUGE and I mean really massive. His head was around 4 feet wide and stood over 6 feet tall(at center of back). My first position on the farm was the care of the buffalo as well as the Dry Barn(calving unit) and Calf Barn(calf storage). I lived on the farm and was on 24 hour call for the Dry Barn, in case a cow started birthing. My daily duties included feeding, watering, cleaning stalls, fresh bedding, etc. After a year there I obtained the job as Hoof Trimmer(Farrier) and someone else was given my old duties. Unfortunately, that guy didn't perform his duties properly and the owner decided to sell the buffalo and invested in Ostriches instead. When the owner died a few years later his family shut down the farm and sold everything. It's one of my greatest memories working there. Especially Domino(beefalo)!! He was so huge, they had to special order a Trimming Table so I could trim his hooves. Most of the other workers were scared of him due to his massive stature, but not me. lol I really miss those days!!

[@Hy-Brasil]

it's sad the family didn't continue the operation. that's what will happen when i finally turn up my toes. i am the only one in my family that appreciates and likes farm life. i told them my ultimate goal was to grow as much of my food as possible so i won't have to leave home. i can just go grocery shopping in my backyard! which is hard to achieve when no one gives a damn. they sure to come running when it's dinner time though.

[@lawrenceklein3524]

It's really a dang shame what's happening to American farming and ranching. I got into raising goats when I was about 60. I guess I was a late bloomer!

[@karenmino4472]

God provides you an amazing blessing 👍 Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths.😇👍

[@neolithicnobody8184]

@@Hy-Brasil I feel you on that. It can be done, because I've seen it done. Just not in the last 30 years. 40-50 years ago, absolutely able to be done. We lived off-grid in the 70s and 80s and went to the store once a month to stock up on toiletries and such. All meats, veggies and grains were grown, harvested and preserved on the farm. With a lot of bartering for other goods needed. It's a lot of hard work and sometimes better as a team effort. I still grow and preserve, just on a lot smaller scale with luxuries I didn't have as a kid. lol I miss the well water and the somewhat open space, but it's nice to read a book without a candle or an oil lamp.

[@neolithicnobody8184]

@@lawrenceklein3524 I've watched a lot of farms disappear in the last 50 years. I remember one farm selling out way out in the middle of nowhere and someone built a Shell Station and a White Castle Restaurant. Yes, in the middle of nowhere...at the time. It's now a very busy conglomeration of businesses, from goods to entertainment. A Shopper's Heaven, so to speak. Others farms get turned into housing developments where the neighbors are squeezed together like sardines.

[@IAGrl55]

Really enjoyed this. My Dad, when he was alive and we were living out on the farm and raising cattle, he bought a beef-a-lo and fed it out. He eventually sold it, but it broke his heart to do it. They were best buds.

I love seeing people working hard to achieve their dreams. Hats off to you gentlemen! My mentor said something once that encapsulates that idea of there not being just 1 right way to do something. He said “Truth is found in the content of information within a given context.”

[@Tommyboy1472]

So glad you touched on food security issues. To many folks have no clue where their food comes from or is produced. Snack foods, breakfast cereals are hardly made in the U.S. anymore. Many good paying jobs are needlessly lost due to corporate greed . The loss of food security could destroy many parts of our cities due to bad intentioned countries that produce our foods. With U.S. produced products we make the money have piece of mind . God knows we have the government regulation and fees associated as well. At the end of the day it's all about safety .

[@karenmino4472]

Jay very good point. If you read your Bible you can see we are seeing End Times Bible Prophecy coming to pass before our eyes 👀 Jesus Christ has already won this spiritual battle and God wins ✝️ Yeah,I have read the end of the book 📖 We are to be joyful in all things pray about everything and worry about nothing because this is not our home we are just a passing through.👍It has been quiet a blessed ride.😇 MARINATHA LORD JESUS 🙏 FAITH OVER FEAR DEAR SAINTS 🙏😇✝️💜🙏👍

[@user-pk2fg8im4u]

Yup, you guys nailed it about making money. I farmed all my life, and getting rich wasn't the idea. We do what we do and try to make things better than when we started. If you can do that, and live life like you want to, you are blessed. Hopefully there is another generation coming along with the same ideology. In my case that didn't work out so well, and I ended up the last of 5 generations. Luckily this isn't our final destination, good luck and blessings in what you are getting to do.

[@stephaniechavez9422]

trinity, loved your comments on human's connection to the outdoors. i am at my most peaceful state when i'm at the beach or in the mountains or at the columbia river here in washington state. the first time i came to the river i felt like i was in a tom sawyer book watching a barge go up river carrying a load of garbage to the waste dump. something so surreal about it. because there may have been garbage on the barge but the scenery around it was beautiful. i used to work for fema during the horrible southern california wild fires in 2003, i was given charge to create their first photo department and you can't imagine the photos the photographaers brought back -- of raging flames to the aftermath. one photo was at night of the top of a mt ridge on fire. it was like a fire snake. nature even at her worse is atristic. nature is where we came from weather you believe in creation or evolution. listening to you talk i was reminded of a quote by president john f. kennedy: "We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch it, we are going back from whence we came." you're right, trinity, it is something we FEEL.

[@BrokenArrowBison]

One of the best Buffalo Ranch interviews on KZbin. Bravo! Two things I would like to mention though. #1 Buffalo won’t kill beef cattle if run together in the same pasture. I have personally run beef cattle together with Buffalo and know numerous other ranchers that do the same. What he may be referring to is that if you confine them in a very tight space the Buffalo will be more dominant and might try to kill them but in a normal ranching scenario that is not the case. #2 The reason why his bull was agitated unexpectedly in the pasture is because there was someone there that they were not used to. Buffalo are very keen to knowing who they can trust. That’s a really good reason why you should never trust your buffalo in a scenario like that, because you never know what they are thinking. There are too many variables. Driving a vehicle out into the pasture as a place to escape to would have been a better option but that takes learning and experience over time raising these majestic animals. Hats off to you and this buffalo ranch for doing a tremendous job! Keep it up!

[@tystubblefield9863]

Thank you for the comments. Would love to meet sometime! On the discussion about bison killing cattle. Your point is true and accurate. And so is mine. Odds are they wouldn’t have killed him. But there was a chance they wood. I’ve seen them kill a bummer bison calf when reintroduced back into the herd. That was one of their own. One thing is for certain, when it comes to bison or cattle you can never be certain.

[@codysheenoutdoors]

So far most I have seen separate them out keeping hreeders together with 1 bull n rest as a meat herd.
