THEY GONE! This Could Have Been Bad…

[@mariankay6482]

We have had the joy of moving buffalo that decided to roam. We worked at an old west show and chuckwagon supper south of Amarillo,TX and we had 8 or 9 bison. We had a tall metal fencing and double gates and, well, when those girls wanted to roam, they did! It happened twice in the 6 years we had them before the show closed. We had to do our herding on horseback. So, someone kept an eye on them till we could get horses saddled and get all the crew there. It was never a big deal to get them back. They are easier to move, in some ways, than cattle. I loved them! It was great for our visitors from all over the world to get to see them. Fun times!❤️🤣 Y'all did a great job with the Hoss herd. Good neighbors, for sure!

[@lindahipp8329]

It's good to have good friends and neighbors that are willing to help out. Y'all did a great job getting them back in the pasture. GOD BLESS Y'ALL.

[@benjaminv.5662]

Thank you for treating your Bison right, I am impressed with the way you handle a dangerous animal. I'm glad you had a plan to get the herd back to where they should be. Glad nobody was hurt and the bison were not hurt. Everyone did a great job including the bison.

[@teresamurray7839]

People like Cole and good neighbors are priceless!

[@cmitchell7347]

Well, that was nerve wracking. Really appreciated the overheads and arrows to explain who and what was where. Good on Cole for single handedly working his way through the creek to intercept their movement.

[@tommas2674]

"nothing can go wrong, go wrong go wrong"... loved that about living in the country, got all kinds of interesting strays.. lol. true .

[@tommas2674]

give me a home where my neighbors buffalo roam and the skies are not cloudy all day.

Thank god for great friends and neighbors! Everybody did a good job working together...good thing that person alerted Marissa so quickly!

[@pamestep4356]

Wow, you have amazing friends and neighbors that help when needed. Everywhere should be so blessed. You all did an amazing job getting them back home. I'm a 61 year old woman and I watch you every episode. I catch myself talking about you all as if I knew you all personally. I was on the edge of my seat with this one. Thank you for sharing your world with us.

[@judithrivin2031]

Bless everyone who worked together. You and Marissa had a planned that worked - with lotsa help. Dusty, a treat to watch you stay calm and focus on keeping bison calm.

[@betty-janececile5214]

So glad they are back home and safe and no one got hurt and nothing was destroyed

[@frenchpotato2852]

Yes, and I’m sure part of the fence could’ve been destroyed though

[@emjustice1158]

Part of them getting back home is your relationship with them. Keep up the great work.

[@dianacox2293]

Wow wow Dusty!! Kudos to Marissa, Cole, neighbors, & strangers and you for doing a great job getting them back in to there pasture!!!! I was on Pins & needles watching. Yelling c'mon Hoss & ladies go home. What a thrilling video. Glad it all ended well. Thanks for sharing and job well done!!!

[@rhondasweeney7271]

Miracles will never cease! Thank goodness they all stayed and and they were not stressed out. Great job, everybody!

[@betsy0br]

Great job, and I get stressed when our dog gets out and we drive around our community trying to find her and bring her home. Our neighbors pitch in too. I cant imagine trying to chase down a herd.

[@bridgetgreene2457]

Is great to have good people in your area !! Good friends, neighbors, a wife who can do a great job as a blocker and be ready to cut them off and people who will take the time to help ! Great roundup .. glad everyone and all the Bison are safe . It’s great that Dusty knows how to be patient and just walk them slow .. they did what he wanted them to do !! Blessings to you all and all involved in this roundup !

[@ReleaseTheQuackers]

As beautiful as it was watching them be "free" for a bit, I am SO HAPPY they are back where they belong. Tell Hoss to keep his gals in the proper place!

[@joerudnik9290]

They sure had a fun day.

[@jgardner2508]

Maybe Hoss was the instigator!

[@wingsandbeaksbirder2312]

Hoss May get to say that. Not just anyone can get away with that. 😅

[@cathy-70]

That Hoss is going to give Dunbar a run for King of Mischievous.

[@diannemiller4754]

Great job all! It's exhilarating to watch. Community working together to keep all safe. Thanks for sharing.

[@Whtwngd]

I was so glad everything went well. Calm owners, calm neighbors =calm animals plus a touch of divine intervention 🙏

[@sandraamen2484]

Sometimes it takes a village to help! So glad you have a great group of neighbors and friends and strangers to help. Glad that you got them all back home safe.

[@wandabarker3772]

Such a blessing to have Marissa, Cole and caring neighbors. Each played an important role in getting the bison safely back to The Ponderosa. So thankful no one was injured including the bison. Excellent video! Really appreciated the arrows, they helped us to have a more clear understanding of where you needed the bison to go. Thanks for sharing!!

[@kimberlylockhart2379]

Thank God for your great neighbors/friends who jumped in to help. What a huge Blessing for that support system! Glad it worked out for the best!!

[@bonnieallen4236]

OMG! That was so scary! You go Marissa! Awesome neighbors!

[@sharonkukert8638]

It's not everyday you see a heard of Bison taking a walk down the road! WOW

[@MaryB-ps8lg]

In Yellowstone maybe but not in Sulphur😁

[@SandraRodriguez-ff2rz]

Great job. Well done. Thanks for all of the people that participated in getting them back into the pasture. Congratulations job well 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@kathleenmcginley4827]

Guess Hoss thought the grass was greener on the other side of the fence! Geez Louise that was fun for the viewer, I'm sure you are all smiles now that it is over. Excellent job. You get an A.

[@WesternWearEnthusiast]

What a great community!! Safety first Dusty. Good call on using your seatbelts and notifying people that the bison were out. The constant communication and quick response to organize and arrange a plan to herd the bison back was fantastic. Dusty, I seen you had some water on hand but you all deserved one or two cold ones 🍻 after getting Hoss and the ladies back home safely and with no injuries. Cole you did an amazing job walking through the muck, water and snake area while still managing to get the event on camera. That’s some dedication to filming. Thanks to everyone who provided footage of this event. So glad that no one was hurt or injured during the great bison escape!! Job well done!! 👏👏😀😀👍👍

[@gigishomesteadofadifferent693]

Thank God you were called about them. I also want to give you and your partner MAJOR KUDOS for staying calm, getting a plan, and working the plan.

[@jacquelinejohnson3141]

My heart was racing when Cole was walking through the mud and water thinking about the snakes. Glad everything worked out. Great team work!

[@FLMegan]

Same🤯

[@davidbingham7404]

Super glad you were able to get them all back in the pasture without any injuries to the bisons, thumbs up to all who helped out in getting them back, David, Utah. ❤❤❤.

[@Implied_Confessions]

That was awesome on several levels! I know you were stressed, but imagine the awe of people on the road getting to see the bison up close and personal, and watching you all handle them like pro's. Marissa shined and the neighbors ere great! I love small town mentality of help without question. Well done!

[@capt.graybeard]

I'm glad you were able to rescue your bison and get them all back home. Unfortunately we have a rancher here in Jefferson county Missouri where I live who let about a half a dozen of her bison get out and she didn't do anything to get them back in the sheriff's department went out and had to have them destroyed. I was almost in tears. I really enjoy watching your channel and once again I'm glad that you were able to rescue your little hoofed creatures...

[@coolwatyr]

Oh Dusty! I felt the adrenaline hit when I heard Marissa’s voice. I am so glad that you do have good neighbors, friends and family. Blessings of Good Fortune, Abundance and Friends ❤

[@jimsingleton3790]

I grew up working on my Uncles Beefaloo ranch it was really great years as a teenager. He had about 400 head of total animals of which about 40 were pure Bison. Learned a lot about these amazing majestic beasts. One thing that we learned that really stands out is that instinct to follow patterns of movement. We had three parcels of land that were about thirty miles apart. My uncle liked the nostalgic part of working cattle from horse back so each spring and fall we would heard them from one location to the other and then back. One year a beefaloo cow calved in route and we arranged to have her stay at a neighbors ranch until the calf was a little older. Every year after that she would disappear and then show up at that neighbors ranch to have her calf. As you can imagine I have a million stories from those years. That said your KZbin channel is such a blessing for me to be able to go back to the 1970s to my younger years by watching y’all. Thanks and Good Bless your great family

[@magn630]

Wow - never a dull moment! You guys are sooo blessed to have such good neighbors and friends. Hoss just being helpful and showing you where the fence needed fixin' 😂😂.

[@vivians9749]

OMG, so glad you was able to get them back in with no one hurt. Cole had a bad job to get to them going, it was a blessing having Cole there. You had good help glad all is well.

[@kilroygirl7347]

A great job by everyone!! Hats off to the neighbors and strangers who took the time to help!

[@RatdogDRB]

As a wise young man often says: "That's Bison ranchin' !" I was right there with ya Cole: "You knuckleheads." LOL I was wondering how the cattle guard obstacle was going to effect their return. That's a day's worth of excitement. Nice work, great thing you weren't all alone Dusty.

[@gholmes2593]

Blessings to everyone who helped bring them all home safely.

[@evenstar5937]

You make it look so easy! I would never in a million years have guessed that they would jump over a cattle guard. One more proof that they are NOT cattle. Thanks for sharing the bison round up with us.

[@margrit7560]

This sure got the heart pumpin' 😂 Great job everyone!!!

[@sallyannesmith3607]

Wow. That was one exciting day. I was on the edge of my seat while watching your recovery. Great job by all. Bison rock.

[@dianep3071]

Glad everything turned out good and no one got hurt. Thank you to everyone that helped ! God bless you all !!!

[@deborahratcliff8179]

So glad you got them back without them getting hurt. All the training and handling you do paid off. And good neighbors are something all of us wish for. Congratulations on getting past your worst fear.

[@sandrabyers8450]

Glad all of you are safe & that the herd is safely home. You know your bison & they are usually a very calm herd. Kindness & good care really pays off in the long run. Well done to you all.

[@melissawarfield]

Great job on getting the bison back home! Glad you found the break(s) in the fence line too.

[@lindadickson783]

Great job and big thanks to the neighbors that helped!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@cathywoofter1331]

Whew! I'm worn out! I feel like I was on that ride with you! lol So happy that everything worked out. Poor Cole... "he's got me crawling through this chigger and thorn-filled snake pit!" Dusty, now that's what makes a great friend! Congratulations!!

[@terrilynn1110]

Boy has ranching has changed! 4 wheelers and cellphones! Much different round-up then I recall. Glad to see ranches succeeding in today's economy.

[@dcricket1]

Oh my! No one had an anxiety attack during all this ! I was truly amazed at how well the Bison did. I’ve said this before and I firmly believe that the calm way Dusty and Kevin have raised them whether from birth or through purchase has a tremendous effect on the Bison. Most of the time unless they they are running and being silly they are calm. Speaking calmly, gently and never showing anger even if you feel it makes a big difference. Great job to everyone that helped!😂❤

[@kaywalbright8436]

Great job everyone. Those strangers have something to talk about for quite awhile. ❤😊

[@jansmall72]

That's so wonderful everyone helped out have found those bison and being them back safe and sound

[@SSTANDLEY3557]

Yall were blessed beyond measure to have so many people helping you and also that NO one was hurt in the process. Thats the real blessing. All is well that ends well!!! God bless!

[@paulpjy4996]

So happy they all returned home safely. You did a great job along with good neighbors!!

[@kathymazey1299]

WOW, what team work! You have some great friends, neighbors to help out. And the traffic sure did get a treat! I’m just thankful that everyone and the bison was safe. Guess it’s time to get back to do some fence security. Maybe one day Cora will be able to be a part of herding, if that’s something you might consider. I’d say a good old fashion hoe down for all those that helped so quickly is maybe in order!

[@edmartin875]

Neighborhood BBQ.

[@kathleendaugherty4218]

Now all you need to have is a Bison Drive Party to keep you on your neighbors good side. Our horses got out a couple of times, neighbors lose their fascination with it real quick.

[@stevendavid5370]

Nothing like a little bit of excitement. It's nice to have neighbors and friends (community) who are willing to drop things and handle somebody else's emergency situation. Even greater none of the herd got injured and remained for the most part pretty calm. It seems the community was a bit more stressed out than the bison, who were having a great time. Things all worked out and you found the break in the fence. Can't wait to hear about the fix in an upcoming video. By the way, I bet as you introduce more acres for pasture, you'll have another round up to deal with. At least it's that way with a pack of dogs.

[@donnabopp9327]

Wow! It sure was an adventure. Thankful for good friends and neighbors helping get the bison back. Whew!!!

[@douglaswilliams4735]

This video is a bit different than expected. Good to see they are all back where they belong and no injuries. If they are like most animals they are going to go right back to where they got out and try again, a really good repair of the fence is probably in order.

[@dawnstinnard4783]

Cole the things you get into helping Dusty. Creek crossing ,snakes, fences, Hoss and the ladies. Glad the community came together to get them back home. Glad no one or animals got hurt.

[@csackles]

Yikes! Blessings definitely on your side and the rainbow at the end was a great sign!! Everybody did a great job!!! Your Bison are great to watch and you can tell by their reaction they are just as happy to be home. They just looked like nothing happened when they got home!!

[@Brenda-bb8hk]

Wow! That could have ended very bad. Great job coordinating the catch. Thanks everyone for the great video footage.

[@Pambo101]

Glad there wasn’t some crazy driver mad cuz the road was blocked! That could have been disastrous. Can you tell I live in the city and deal with these crazies daily. So glad you got them back in there home and nobody got hurt on the cattle guard crossing. I was worried about the smaller ones. For the majority of the time they just lumber around and only seeing that one jump the fence I didn’t think they’d all clear the cattle gate! But they took it like “piece of cake…we got this!” Lol😅

[@deloresrogers685]

Sure did help to have your bison know you and Cole so that kept them calm too. Happy nobody including the bison didn't get hurt.

[@astikennel]

I was panicking when that thumbnail popped up SO glad everyone is OK and what great people are around there! Makes a person remember there are decent people in the world

[@nancyely9503]

That was an Amazing round up. Like someone mentioned, It takes a village. Wonderful friends and neighbors were able to help you execute your plan! Congratulations!

[@paulaarchuleta755]

This was exciting seeing you guys work chasing the bison. Thank God nobody got hurt not even the bisons. ❤

[@steveb4592]

Glad you were able to get the bison back home. Probably need to check the fences before letting the bison back out on the pasture they escaped from.

[@heartbuttenative5014]

Love the videos you share with us about the bison herd especially when it's about Big Joe. I would have loved to see you getting Big Joe thru that gate. Watching you raise Bison and the dedication you have for them gives me hope for America. GOD bless you and your family.

[@coleengogerty3852]

My heart sank there for a while. I was praying that they were all okay as well as the public. Darn ornery turds. Definitely do not want to test out your bison escape plan, but now that it’s happened you have so much information on what to do. Everyone that stepped up to help are a blessing. And truth be told, those folks seemed kind of excited to be a a “bison drive”. I know I would have helped and I’d have a huge smile on my face once they settled down. I’ve had to stop and chase in some calves after work before by myself. I loved it! Anyway, I’m so glad no one got hurt, both people and animals. God bless everyone for stepping up and out of their comfort zone! 🦬🦬🦬🦬🦬🦬

[@brendadickenson3547]
