Please give Dunbar a few more “girlfriends “. He’s been a good bull for you and deserves to “have some fun”😂

[@lorigreen3828]

The land can only support so many. Also, some are related to him already. I believe he is getting a few more from what was said in previous videos, lol, He'll be fine :)

[@RiverWoods111]

Yeah, they are moving them all around right now. He will get some more ladies in his herd. They had to get him moved so that they could sort some out of the Big Joe herd. But the Ponderosa wasn't quite big enough to support and keep two fully mature bulls. Dunbar's herd will grow naturally because the new young Big Joe heifers will have to go with either him or Haas. They have to test them all to figure out which are which.

[@debannas4567]

@@RiverWoods111 thanks, but this I had already heard from Dusty… I just feel sorry for Dunbar😢

[@debannas4567]

And I believe it’s HOSS not haas

Dusty you Sir are absolutely charming. It was truly hard to keep from laughing when you knew you were about to be in trouble with "Mom" when moving the little ones. Honestly it was fun hearing you think ! Its so special that you both have allowed us to share in your family's journey. Be safe and healthy .🧐🫶🏻

Did everyone see the rare *white bison* calf born in the Lamar Valley in Yellowstone? Its name is Wakan Gli which means ‘rare sacred’ in Lakota. At a ceremony Chief Arvol Looking Horse, a 19th Generation Keeper of the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe and Bundle, spoke about the first white buffalo born in the wild, which was in Wisconsin in 1994.

[@MaggieMain-mk7st]

The white bison calf has not been seen since the photo was posted. I am skeptical that a professional wildlife photographer just happen to be in the vicinity where this calf was born - coincidental and incredible timing. IMO - it’s a photoshop. I remain hopeful.

[@wrinklesandsprinkles]

Hello 👋 Dusty and Marissa, I’ve been studying permaculture for quite a few years and one of the main things I’ve learned is that Mother Nature is modest and doesn’t like to be uncovered. It’s very refreshing to see the way you care for your property and the nature of it. Thanks for sharing, 40 Shades of Green Farm, Jackson Tennessee

[@timmountford8610]

I when I was growing up I wish we had bison instead of cattle. We had a ranch outside of Quapaw Oklahoma. Back in the 70's there was still old buffalo wallers in the pastures.

[@RatdogDRB]

Good seeing different facets of what you're doing and why you're doing it. God bless you two.

[@vickibird8007]

Fortunately for you, Marisa's anger is short lived. Thanks for taking us along for the swapping of the pastures!

CTB is in my top 5 favorite channels. I love you Marisa and Brooks. BUT Dusty, I have to scold you a bit. My husband and I just celebrated our 53rd wedding anniversary. I STILL can't read his mind. Tell her what you want her to do and don't assume she is reading your mind. 'Nuff said! I love big Joe, he is beautiful!!

[@kathypopp531]

Thank You for sharing your life as ranchers with me.

[@RiverWoods111]

Your Bison are trained better than any cow herd I have ever seen. Growing up the Cowboys were always behind driving them to get the cows to go. You just have trained your Bison to follow you like huge puppies. No wonder Big Joe always wants to get in the 4-wheeler😂 with you!

[@joannekoferl3333]

You guys need a better way to communicate when doing these kinds of jobs. Like walky talkers or headphones.. when you start yelling, you can tell that your stress level is rising, which I'm sure affects Marrisa and the bison.

[@jansmall72]

Your hay unroller comes in handy to roll out the hay Dusty

[@JbirdL2233]

Great video. So interesting about the erosion and how hay works to fix that. Love those little knucklehead youth, you guys got them straightened around. 😅

[@CrossTimbersBison]

Thank you!!

[@avisbrown7957]

Where the erosion trails are, couldnt you take like a rototiller and go along the trail? Then spread some rye seed, i e., along to grow and help stop some of the erosion? Also, could you take a wood chipper and crush up some of the downed logs in the erosion areas? I'm a small town girl living in the city. I guess I'm just throwing ideas out there. Some I've heard from cattle ranchers. My dad married into my stepmoms wheat farm. Dad's used his wood chipper to add into the dirt on some of the roads around the farm. His neighbors have used it for their different farms and ranches.

[@user-dn4iv2ne6r]

Annual rye is just that: an annual. It comes up, does its thing and dies. There needs to be some native perennials and biennials in the mix to get roots established deep. They will hold the soil and provide feed. When wood rots, the organisms that do the work take up nitrogen generally depriving plants of that nutrient until the organisms are done with their chore and die. If you use wood chips, it may be best to plant some legumes to fix nitrogen in the soil.

[@lindahipp8329]

Good job moving the bison. You and Marisa work well together.

[@cherrydowns7745]

It is a pleasure to watch how you have grown your Bison Ranch. Big herd now! When I started watching you Brook was a baby and you had Dunbar and then you purchased Big Joe and females. Dunbar is more mature now but he is still a hoot! I still remember poor little Lumpy and how you rescued him too.

Yup Dusty-sometimes it’s just better to zip it up! You are partners. Marissa is not the apprentice.

[@anj3595]

If you haven’t given Marissa the tips about how they will “find the opening” without being driven, she might’ve thought she needed to guide them more. It is always amazing to me how men, mostly husbands, see problem as it is happening and get frustrated their helpmate didn’t see the same thing they did. You two work magnificently together and are just pretty normal husband/wife team. You two are very respectful of each other and we all, I am sure speaking for many, love your little family and what you are building together.

Moving paddocks at least every 3rd day would minimize trail making; boost soil, plant, animal health; build soil and carrying capacity, so you could increase the herd number on the same land; minimize paracite exposure and need of paracite treatments.
