Springtime! He's showing his ladies how big and strong he is.

[@ladyliberty417]

Everyone seems to agree he needs to be let out/ I know that feeling!! Spring is here❗️ He’s feeling his oats😁

[@cindyruch785]

My sentiments exactly! Beside the lawnmower noise.

[@kerrecloyes6054]

Big Joe sure has a spring in his step today!!!!!! Love to watch him. He is ready to rumble & no one will play.

[@lisawatkins2590]

Spring and testosterone! He wants to be out tearing up the range! Can you imagine what it was like when they roamed free!

[@rafaeldelgado4985]

One can only imagine but it brings tears imagining it.

This video always brings a tear to my eye. The first wood bison re-introduced into the wild. I read they had a decent winter and are expecting at least 45 calves to be born in the wild this spring. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZqpiqWVfq6Khsk

[@jbarn49]

Lewis and Clark wrote that they had trouble sleeping at night from all the bison bellowing!

[@Cass-es5kl]

Was stationed in Lawton, OK and they had a wildlife rescue where there were wild bison and long horn cattle. Impressive

[@bestofsmall]

I am so surprised by the sounds he makes! He sounds like he is roaring like a lion almost! Awesome!

[@johnritter5951]

I have often lamented being born in the age we live in, always wishing I could have been a mountain man. Think how much this big guy would have loved having a whole prairie to roam in. Nice to be able to see him up close, but this is not what he was made for. Look at that energy that wants to run. The pioneers said that the ground literally shook when a herd of a thousand or more passed by. And, to think, not one four-lane concrete highway in the country.

[@hiker4life4020]

The sound of the mower and the smell of fresh cut grass makes him curious!

[@leeahammon5661]

Yes, that's what I was thinking! Fresh mowed grass has a strong smell! 🐃

[@kwilliamson1096]

@@leeahammon5661 Exactly what I was thinking. Probably a combination of a warm spring day, being cooped up in a small pen and the smell of fresh mowed grass. Big Joe and the girls came to the Ranch on approximately November 15th 2020, at least that's when the video was posted. So I assume this is Joe's first time experiencing fresh mowed grass. From what I read some animals can smell fresh mowed grass up to a mile away.

[@richardveale6304]

The smell indeed, being able to smell grass is a survival skill for the herd

[@davidvickers8425]

Better than the dried up garbage hay in the feeder. I used to bale up grass hay as green as i could just before the crunch, that way it didnt mold and store it tight, but it was still so fresh the cows would rub on it because the grass smell was so strong. They would eat it through winter and it wouldnt go brown

[@glendabooth3810]

Big Joe is. an beautiful creature with attitude

[@hellosunshine9915]

He really moved so smoothly when he ran ! Very cool to see this ! Thank you !

[@jeanbridgman7513]

It is wonderful being able to watch these beautiful animals just being themselves. Thank you for sharing.

[@gailwalker6872]

Big Joe needs to be able to run in that big pasture behind him. Brooks is so cute. Sounds like she is trying to copy Big Joes noises.

[@doriswiesike1417]

narrow pasture for such big animals.

[@priscillarowlett3733]

Yep, Joe needs more room!!

[@natashamiller4860]

I guarantee you all that he gets plenty of opportunities to do that...based on his feistiness, I am sure he has tasted that freedom and is protesting the fact that he isn’t experiencing it right now. If he didn’t know freedom, he wouldn’t behave that way. 😉

[@ajett5081]

Big Joe needs big toys to play with.

[@ajett5081]

Big Joe wants to drive a tractor.

[@virginiareid5336]

It is always amazing to see an animal as large as Big Joe at full gallop. There is a type of grace about his ability to move so quickly.

[@dylanstraub9612]

He's got the zoomies. My dogs get hyped up at random times during the day.

[@NancyBryantIdeas]

Big Joe has heard of your plans Dusty, but he is impatient and like so many have already said the smell of the grass...... Just be patient Big Joe, Dusty is working on getting it all ready for rotational grazing. (His impatience reminds me of how we humans are with Our Heavenly Father's plans. HE has good plans for us but we want to rush ahead of HIM and do things our way.)

[@werthebest1s]

Love the way Big Joe runs=like a doe, so cute! Think Dunbar may have taught him how to throw things around? Lol. Can't wait to see how the "run" goes this time...hopefully you will be able to get them all! ;) Brooke is soooo adorable! Thanks for sharing n God bless n keep you all safe !

[@marilynmifflin6309]

Brooks is sooo cute; we could watch her all day 🥰

[@kimhumble7927]

Really amazes me how a big guy like him can run so effortlessly

[@rjszrama]

I am imagine you can feel the ground shake when he trots by like that.

[@bonniewooters6796]

🤗🤗🤗. Love your speaking voice Dusty but this video only featuring the sounds of Big Joe was awesome. Of course nothing beats Brooke and those sweet baby sounds 😘😘. My gramps had a bull that would do the goofiest things hearing lawn mower and smelling fresh cut grass. It only took one whiff and he’d even try to jump over fence otherwise he was chilled but that grass got him started doing the same as Big Joe. Hope ya have money saved IF ya can get Big Joe in any part of your corral system. Just saying that’s ONE BIG Bison bull and and nothing will hold up to his strength and size. Should be interesting and may have to make sure he’s last so can work the rest of the herd before he destroys it. Will doc Parsons help this time? Could he give him a tranquilizer just to keep him calmer so could get his weight at least? Someone must have had a bull his size that could help with ideas. Loved this special video just hearing the sounds they make while checking out that green grass on other side of fence. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@rogerwilco2]

Yes, just the sounds of the animals. Pity there was some machine in the background.

[@frenchysandi]

Well that’s a beastly display for sure!!

[@barbaragreene6592]

I just love to watch the bison stiff hop/gallop. The way that they stiffen their legs is so awesome. I don’t know about Bison but I know that when the weather is about to change, a lot of animals will get hyped up.

Well, its springtime isn't it? Time for breeding season, he is fired up and ready to go. He is also stuck in that small enclosure, he probably wants to get out and run around.

[@andrewj9831]

Agree...It seems Big Joe and his girls are stuck in the small enclosure a lot while the "main" herd has wide open space, and never locked up. The lawnmower isn't helping so close to them in a closed in area.

[@anitak_ilovepink]

That is one scary animal. Dunston is sweet but WOW Joe scares me even through my computer screen. So much power and he cannot even control him to go through the shoots to weigh him. This animal could if he wanted to break out and tear up the flimsy fences. I would also be scared of him if I were a female. YIKES! I watch because I always thought Bison interesting because they are one animal that doesn't get cancer and their meat is very healthy. However!! YIKES!

[@dcricket1]

Brooks is going to be used to the Bison being raised from her first memories. It reminds me of our great niece. We went to a hockey game with our niece and they had box seats with the plexiglass where I could touch it. I was holding her as she’s just learning to stand. She had her little hand on the plexiglass exactly where the puck hit and then WHAM two players crashed into it at the same time and the fight broke out! Crash crash crash! She just squealed and laughed and loved it! Me on the other hand almost jumped the rail behind me! Every time she went she was like that. A couple of players came out during break to see her cause she was so cute and they loved her. They held out their arms and the child who was picky about who she went to went straight to both these big men in their giant padded uniforms and helmets. Amazing what children adjust to!
