Creek Fence Problems & New Life On The Ranch!

[@gaylemcpherson3987]

You can now say that a herd of Bison truly ran free in Oklahoma for the first time in 100's of years.

[@Og-Judy]

Ranched herds isn't exactly the same as the wild bison herds of yesteryear. Glad conservation work with wild herds is doing well.

[@lrpcreations4016]

​@@Og-Judy yeah if people would leave them alone in the wild and not be stupid and interfere with them. Like the moron who did with the reddog and got it killed. People don't understand not to touch wild animals. Just heartbreaking 😭💔!

[@Aliandtosha6689]

So glad to see them back. But at least this time they won't be hunted down. Dunbar and Big Joe are so handsome.

[@brtidwell55]

Always amazed at how gentle the big guy actually is

[@ColeMeger]

It’s crazy how calm and gentle he feels around us… in the pasture that is! 😅 get him penned up and it’s a different story

[@brtidwell55]

@@ColeMeger Yeah I have seen that. But once you do get him in the squeeze chute he always seems to gentle up some when Dusty talks to him, feeds him a few cubes, and gives him a scritch on the nose.

How long do bison live???

[@catherinescotttoner1392]

The shots of the mamas and their babies was so serene. Roaming in the tall grass and wild flowers. The babies passing under momma's chins. I could watch 'em all day❤

[@RatdogDRB]

More new red dogs!! Very nice! Wonderful, being able to track and control the genetics like that. Speaking of, I wonder if Eleanor's genetics includes weakness of the horns? Little Nora does seem very chill, just like her mama is. The pastures are looking great. The ponds are looking great. The creek is looking great. The Bison are looking great. And little Jackie and Maya are looking great. Creek fencing. A thought, Dusty. On either bank, anchor a STOUT metal post from pipe, making certain they're plumb and anchored in with concrete. These should be taller than everything else. Take gate sections and weld them together to span the distance between the poles. Connect them to the poles with rollers which ride the poles vertically. At the bottom of the gates, have sealed up barrels welded to the bottom of the gates to use as floats. As the creek rises, the fence (gates) rises. As the creek drops, the fence drops. Rollers top/bottom on each side, and stagger outboard/inboard of the poles to keep the fence (gate) sections connected/parallel to the posts. Small panels welded at angles to follow the angle of the bank could be stationary to compensate for raising/lowering fence. The stationary angled panels should remain separate from the steel poles/floating section.

[@ColeMeger]

Thanks for all the support and feedback! We’ve talked about eventually installing options like this down at the creek

[@Factchecker111]

Thinking the same about Noras horn, genetic? It didn't look damaged, just stumped with a twist.

[@patricia.g1651]

Beautiful watching the herds grazing in the green pastures.

[@lindahipp8329]

CONGRATULATIONS on the new red dogs. They are so cute. You take good care of your bison and that's what helped you get them rounded up when they escaped. GOD BLESS Y'ALL.

[@Marian-pb7fd]

Great to see Nora! She seems a little bit more adventurous than Eleanor as she was with the group and not away from it.

[@ColeMeger]

Nora has quite the personality, a little diva. Just like her momma!

[@candicel3224]

Having cattle/bison broke to feed makes life so much easier. We also include a certain whistle when we want them. Eventually, you can just whistle and they will come to you even if you don't have feed. I love watching your bison and how the farm is growing.

[@ColeMeger]

It really does help! That’s the plan once feed truck is up and running!

[@paulpjy4996]

🇳🇿Downunder New Zealand. Can't wait for next surprise ‼️You guys are doing so well 👍 Love the new Big Joe calves. ❤️

[@hermithag]

Your drone would be a great tool for finding your herd. Our neighbors use a small plane to find their cows spread out over 600 acres.

[@ColeMeger]

Good idea it really does help a lot whenever initially trying to spot them! We have done that before, but you can’t see through the tree canopy this time of year so it doesn’t really help if they are laid up in the woods 👍

[@denisehibbs9576]

[@magn630]

Those tiny reddogs are soooo adorable 🥰. When you found the Hoss herd on that tall grass meadow with the white flowers, I thought of the really old cartoon - Ferdinand - a bull that just wanted to smell flowers. Kinda like Dunbar, Hoss and Big Joe, gentle giants. Can't wait to hear what the huge changes are!

[@madampolo]

Can't wait to hear about your upcoming big changes to the ranch! Those red dogs are so cute. One has a tendency to think of bison like cattle but they are a dangerous animal, for sure. I agree with you wife. You need to work on that creek crossing.

Love seeing all the bison. They are amazing.

[@Brenda-bb8hk]

It’s great to see all the bison just roaming around the pasture. They probably think they are in heaven with all that grass to eat! The creek crossing hopefully will last long enough for them to get all the grass eaten down so they can be moved out. Then you will be able to fix it better. The suspense of what is coming is driving me crazy! Can’t wait to see what’s next for you and your Family at the Ponderosa! 😊

[@coolwatyr]

Thank you, Dusty and Marissa, for taking us with you on the check in. Red dogs on the ground. It doesn’t seem like it’s time yet. It’s exciting that it is! I can’t wait to see what new things are coming! Blessings of Abundance in all that you need and all the good fencing 🤭 ❤

[@carolgay8230]

Love your channel. I'm a dog groomer and do positive reinforcement. Every zoo uses it from elephants to dolphins. Cubes are just that. Follow the leader and you get food. I've even trained my house cats that escape out the door to come to the sound of the dry food in the metal dish. Like I said last week, several bison were put down in my State because they endangered cars and weren't able to be caught. We have the same thing with cattle.. You kids are doing a great job and remember each scenario is a learning curve.

[@ColeMeger]

Such good points! Great training tool to help when you need them to follow. Too bad they won’t just follow you into the chute/alley system for cubes when getting vaccinated 😂

[@wingsandbeaksbirder2312]

A couple of weeks ago, in Ark City, KS, we tracked down a bison 🦬 herd with the help of a gentleman obviously on his way to go fishing. After flagging him down, he graciously said to follow him and he’d show us where the bison were. North of a cemetery older than the Civil War, we got to see a guy in a skid steer widening out a pond. Here comes the big bull, not the least bit intimidated by that piece of machinery, checking out the pond changes, so much like Big Joe, in charge. Leaving a note in a plastic bag attached to the owner’s fence, he was asked if he knew you. Not having heard from him isn’t a surprise. He a busy man! Perhaps you will hear from him. Nice way to spend a Saturday morning, watching a guy taking care of a small, but growing herd of America’s largest mammal. Thanks for sharing.😊

So happy that the bison are all safe and healthy. Big Joe is looking more bulky than he was when you all worked the bison. Hopefully he continues to put weight back on.
