Bison Safety

My thought about the fence being within 25 feet of your barn is that, mayby you can work pit a plan to have a smaller trailer, like a 1 horse trailer, where you can shelter a calf if it BAS to be seperated from the heard for health reasons, or in a case whwre the calving cow has died, may allow you to move the calf to their natural distress call can be distanced from a heard while still providing some shelter for that calf. Just an "Educated Guess" from a subscriber with no 1st hand experience. I appriciate the content you (and others in your circle of family & friends) are providing here, Noah. No need to reply, Noah, but would appriciate a quick like just to let me know you saw my comment. Prayers are with you, my friend.

Have you ever watched Cross Timbers Bison, Rusty has a Bison named Dunbar, never mind you just mentioned him, but Dunbar is my favorite.

[@BrokenArrowBison]

Yep and I actually know Dusty. Check out some of my other videos and you will see him in there. Dunbar is awesome!

[@7EarthCat]

Bison, not buffalo, is the correct name. Buffalo are found across the ocean. I was surprised to learn that Buffalo horns and coats look different, too. The song Home On the Range and the Hollywood westerns got it wrong! I think we Americans have learned to use the names interchangeably.

@@BrokenArrowBison I just unsubscribed to that fellow’s channel. I spent too many years working in emergency medicine. He just seems way too nonchalant about meandering around his pastures...while holding a baby daughter. I personally watched a tourist with a camera in Yellowstone get herself gored and then tossed 20 feet in the air. She died before she got to hospital. Your video is a whole mouthful of good sense.

A few years ago, we were fishing the Yellowstone, on an island. There was a huge group of bison on the far side of the braid that formed the island. THE bull ended up across from me, making bison noises and occasionally stomping the ground. I pretty much ignored them other than marvel at their size and beauty. I never felt threatened and as long as I fished the other side and didn’t stare at them or try to get closer i felt safe. Late in the afternoon all of them gathered at the river , around 200, and swam across about 30 yards upstream from where my friend was fishing. One of the best pictures I’ve ever taken. Maybe I wasn’t as safe as I thought.

[@BrokenArrowBison]

LOL Yeah they are incredibly good swimmers.

[@BrokenArrowBison]

Wow. Yeah I have heard that they will go after tractors or ATV’s that you work them with or any type of machinery. I’m very careful not to push them for that reason. I don’t want to train them to charge in the middle of the field.

There is also a Yellowstone vid where a small calve got tired and lay down in the middle of the road! Bunch of females surrounded it. One fool across in the traffic got out. Tails were up! Took quite awhile for the Mom’s to get it up and moved. Many Bison’s were on the road.

It is amazing how far away you are and the first bison moves, and these are not true wild out on their own. So many people think, oh, herbivore (cow), no problem. I watched that first animal move and the hairs on the back of my neck rose. I am stunned anyone could mistake these for domesticated. Great topic and breakdown. (Total city girl, but handled animals a lot).

[@jfk64kennedy95]

1983 ish, friend had small cattle ranch, mostly Herefords for breeding, Sire was a purchased Penn State farming program bull. He also got Holstein steers from local dairies to raise and sell, or contract raise for a friend. One spring, we have the Hereford mothers and the 14 or so calves in "calf" pasture, we would also bring up the animals we were getting ready to send out "finishing". Well this one Holstein steer, now about a yr old, had his horns and one curved in front of his left eye, so we named him "Hook", He was "pasture protector" and one time, down in other pasture, had watched him hurdle an electric fence like a White Tail deer...no joke. Well my friend and I are out in middle of this 6 acre pasture, at least 150 feet to nearest fence, ear tagging the spring's Hereford calves, we get to last calf, the runt....Bill grabs it, it screams...."OH SH*T !!!!!!" here comes Hook at full charge, head down, my mind only pictured the red lights from an ambulance, thought was at least going to get gored, good chance killed...Bill starts screaming, I jump up waving arms, yelling....Hook stops about 25 feet away, head down, pawing at the ground with his hoof, YES, they do that.....I very slowly start backing towards fence, Bill still kinda sitting on ground with Calf, and remember, we had raised hook from time he was only weeks old, this almost a yr later....so I make to fence, go into garage, get Axe Handle (I was a 240 lb farm boy, pretty powerful) climb back into pasture walk right up to hook and place the head of the axe handle gently rt between his horns and start pushing him backwards...thankfully, he backed up with some resistance, but he backed up, I was ready to crack him with, didn't want to, but was ready to swing the handle with every bit of my 240lbs...hopefully stunning long enough to get away safely, thankfully didn't have too....but really thought either Bill or myself were going to get seriously hurt when Hook was charging that day...after Bill tagged the last calf, this about 1 in afternoon, we went in the house, cracked open a cpl beers, broke out the bottle of Jack Daniels, did a cpl shots and smoked a joint....EVEN BEFORE THIS, NEVER TRUSTED THAT ANIMAL...His Hereford bull, gentlest, sweetest, best socialized bull ever and think it truly had a sense of humor, he liked to play, but gently, never once did ever scare or surprise me in a bad way

[@BrokenArrowBison]

LOL That’s quite the story! Yes unfortunately I think a lot of people don’t realize that animals can flip a switch at any second. And if you have 1000 to 2000 pound animal flipping a switch who knows what they can do. Thanks for the story!

Many people become stagnant and confused when facing retirement from a committed career such as yours. You are such an inspiration not to have closed your "book of life" after such a monumental life challenge and are already eagerly beginning to script a new chapter. You are so wise to fill yourself with information and experience from seasoned bison ranchers. Now that I've explained why your story caught my interest I am very excited to ask where you are in your new adventure! One year later, I would love to know your current situation. Are you still in the planning stages or have you embarked into ranching now? If you did commit to the bison industry, do you have a US tube channel?

30 years ago a friend of mine had buffalo (he never called them bison). They were much larger and really mean. By larger, I mean 5+ feet to the wither. Does this mean that the industry has cross-bred them down in size and that means that they are really beefalo? Are we seeing all over the USA a crossbreed of an original?

[@BrokenArrowBison]

That’s really cool! No, all mine are calves. Some of them like my bull isn’t even a year old yet. He will not mature for another five or six years. Yes a full grown bull can get to 6 foot at the shoulders. As far as them being mean there are a lot of factors that play into that. Some of it can be genetic, other factors can be if they saw humans or not when they were little and still other factors could be handling practices.

[@seaknightvirchow8131]

@@Trumpisthevillageidiot Thanks for your reply but I was talking specifically about cattle bulls. I grew up around cattle and based my comment not only on personal experience but also on some research I did one time. Statistics are a generality based on a number of events but cannot predict an individual behavior. This is just like cancer survival statistics. We do not know which person will be in the survivor group among 100 people with the same stage and grade of tumor. I have found dairy bulls particularly dangerous. Animal behaviorists say that young bulls should be kept with other members of the herd whether other bull calves or cows, Not all pit bulls are dangerous but they are responsible for half the dog bite fatalities in the US. Statistics are just what they are. My grandfather was nearly killed by a Short Horn bull who had been so docile that my dad and uncles sat on his back. I am sometimes amused by a statistic that says I am more likely to be killed by a cow or dog than a shark. Yes this is true only because we are exposed far more to dogs or cows than sharks. I don’t fear salt water crocs because I am not in their habitat.

Noah, My dad wants to know what is the smallest joule size electric fence charger for bison? The maximum size too? I know Greg Judy uses a 60 joule charger for his cattle.

[@BrokenArrowBison]

What Gallagher recommends is a minimum of a five for bison. My guess is Greg Judy is saying a minimum of a six not 60. There really isn’t a maximum. I think the biggest charger that Gallagher makes is a 10 or 15 and that would be a good charger for bison. It’s not really about the joules for controlling animals as it is about the volts. Joules are what is going to keep the charger running in tall weeds. Think about it this way, joules are torque and volts are the house power. 😁

[@marilynzimmerman5028]

Were you able to save the calf?

[@BrokenArrowBison]

Unfortunately no. It was pretty heartbreaking honestly. He survived for a couple of days.

[@marilynzimmerman5028]

I am sure you did your very best. Nature is tough sometimes.

Couldn't help but keep my eye on the bison all during your video....just can't trust the wooly buggars....saw an idiot get flung into a tree in Yellowstone a number of years ago...it's something that you never forget

[@BrokenArrowBison]

Wow. That would be hard to forget! You are right though. I am ALOT more relaxed with these guys given there age. Never want to let your hard down though.

[@cypressblue8877]

I find when there tail goes up, look out. Stay safe & take care of you all. Thanks for sharing eh :))

[@BrokenArrowBison]

Absolutely right!

[@cypressblue8877]

yeah you should know. @@BrokenArrowBison

[@colleentunnicliffe2408]

Why are the bison deformed as calves, as we do with the farm animals in n.z.

[@BrokenArrowBison]

Do you mean dehorned? If so they have horns even as calves, just small.

[@carolaustin123]

Wow this was very interesting thank you

[@BrokenArrowBison]
