How We Move a Bison Herd in Minutes!

[@karenbergmann209]

So hilarious when Big Joe stuck his big head inside the vehicle at the beginning!! Dusty is the Bison Whisperer! Love the sound of them tearing the grass.

[@netsailor]

He asked for a ride since he didn't want to run all the way 😂

[@izziebahsamanii2731]

I was sad when you hit him.😊

[@alanatolstad4824]

I laughed loud and long at seeing him in the passenger seat!

[@patevans3709]

Eleanor is such a sweetheart! Thank you for loving on her, Dusty!!

[@karencopelen6967]

I am just so amazed how Big Joe is so friendly with you. I really love that big boy.

[@mea3665]

Not that new it's called interaction with humans, pretty much any animal will to a point ! But still wild not really amazing common sence

[@borisbadenov8613]

Big Joe is only friendly because he wants to get cubes.

[@katepollard-vithanage889]

[@keithjones818]

Dusty, those red dogs running with their mommas, magic. Great video. 👍

[@ladyhawk5245]

Eco farming as bison farming is meant to be.🙏🥰💕🥰🇨🇦👏

[@djmac1953]

Wow...That was amazing...Dusty...The Buffalo Whisper...I love Eleanor...

[@elizabethjimenez277]

WOW Dusty, I thought Big Joe was getting in the ATV with you. You are very talented, driving AND using your drone at the same time. Always beautiful to see the bison on the move. Stay safe.

[@alanatolstad4824]

Marissa, I'm always so impressed that Dusty includes you in his discussions about you folks' plans for the ranch.

[@debannas4567]

Dusty, please keep us visiting with Dunbar too so we won’t feel he’s been forsaken ❤

[@coleengogerty3852]

Big Joe always has to get his big head up in your business! Love him! I love how the yearlings are running along the fence with the big herd. It just always amazes me how the red dogs can keep up with the grown bison. They are amazing creatures. You got Jackie helping too! She is such a good girl. This was a lot of fun Dusty. Thank you for taking us along on the bison runs! My favorite part. Big Joe is like “you try and carry this nearly 1800lbs in the summer! Lol. We love you Eleanor!

[@karmadonnelly3780]

I just love, love those Birds Eye views of the herd

[@ladyhawk5245]

I love how they happily follow their treat truck. They know they can depend on you humans. So great to watch all of these interactions with Dusty and the herd.

[@virginiacurrey2019]

Pond full and lovely out there. Amazing how red dogs keep up with mamas. Beautiful, Dusty!

[@Dogs538]

I love Big Joe!! He thinks he is an oversized giant dog!! Watching the Bison run is great..and they follow you!

[@bethp1530]

Out of all of the cows... Eleanor is by far my favorite.

[@lindachristison6883]

I loved watching the bison move from pasture to pasture. You have them trained very well. Thanks for the video

[@CrossTimbersBison]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@margesteinmetz863]

Big Joe is always friends with you. Peaches was a good leader. Princess Eleanor 💓 You truly are special. Praying for another baby heifer Blessings 🙏🫶🙏🫶

[@BinfordMJ]

I read somewhere “You can make a bison go anywhere it wants to go.” Clearly the author of that line has never met you, Dusty! You have trained your herd well. I had my first bison burger today, and for anyone who is on the fence about giving it a try, it tasted better than high quality beef! I was pleasantly surprised and will be purchasing ground bison in the future. Just know, you cannot cook it like you would beef, or you will not be pleased. There is in fact a learning curve involved. Love watching these Bison!!!

[@marissashelley2362]

Bison is delicious!!! 😋😊😋

[@susanbozard7906]

Its been awhile but I had stew bison over rice and I thought I died and gone to haven, it was cooked true native American ❤❤❤

[@nancy-katharynmcgraw2669]

I have ground bison in my freezer, from the local grocery store. Usually have 3 lb packages. When I use 2, I get 2-3 more. Stopped getting cattle's gr. beef over 2 years ago!

[@jackielowe2895]

I knew bison rancher who gave me bison to eat every year. Delicious. I was not happy when he sold his herd. lol. Small herd

[@JaniceDonahue-k2x]

Can you tell us how it should be cooked?

[@noelle1225]

Your holistic approach to your pastures is admirable, and you’re setting a good example for other bison ranchers. You’re providing the grasses the bison grazed hundreds of years ago, the grasses they were meant to graze. And this is what you were meant to do, Dusty. Your bison are some lucky animals! Oh, and the persimmon/bison snacks sound delicious. My grandmama used to make persimmon pudding, my favorite dessert ever!

[@paddlefoot5692]

That's what I call multi tasking Dusty 👍 Enjoyed!

[@sharonmaresh]

Driving, herding Bison and flying a drone while dropping snacks! Now that's talent! I love watching the drone shots of the Bison running. Thank you!

[@willowsverge3046]

Loved Big Joe raiding the cubes while your back was turned. He must of thought, you make me walk this far, it’s self serve now! lol 😊

[@k-lo0007]

You have a great sense of humor...naming Big Mama "Peaches!" Cute 😍 She knows how to help you move the crowd!!!

[@KathyHajek]

Your bison would follow you anywhere…that is so awesome…

[@air80-778]

Dusty you need to be proud of yourself... THE Bisen trust you.. ❤

[@darlahartman2003]

I enjoy watching your bisons run wild and free! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us Dusty and family. 👍😊❤

[@lynnhorsman7912]

It is so interesting to watch how they follow you. "They are wild animals but they know that you love and care for them and they follow you for that reason. I love watcvhing you interact with them.

[@carolynaozark5587]

I am impressed with the little ones keeping up!!

[@traceyhacking7109]

while you chat us up......a bison is almost inside the ATV.

[@susanoswalt1169]

Big Joe says man a brother needs a break every once in a while let me enjoy peace and quiet no one's around,I'll be there in a minute 😂😂

[@carriegrosenick6426]

I love watching the bison 🦬 herd. So fun to see Eleanor and Big Joe. ❤🦬

[@lindafick8450]

You have such a bond with your Bison Dusty! You are like the Pied Piper! They'll follow you anywhere!

[@woodlily651]

Great video - mixing of the ground shots and drone shots really made this video - thank you for the editing time.

[@marthaosburn-henry1087]

It's great to see the Big Joe herd grow. Luv this video. 🌻🤟🌻👍🌻

[@lindabrewer3243]

I really enjoy when you move the bison. Such majestic creatures!

[@janicedorsey3945]

It is so fascinating to watch you with your beautiful Bison, it makes me wish I could come a visit you and your setup. They are just amazing the way they follow your voice and your machine‼️🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@Ramona57-TX]

Love watching the herd and seeing Big Joe, he's an impressive bull.

[@Cokie1657]

What a great move, it was a beautiful video.🎉🎉. This is just gorgeous to watch you motivate and move your large herd.😊😊❤❤

[@susandallessandro5076]

First of all I watch you almost every day. You have a perfect voice for it. I love to watch you move the herd. I love when you call them by name as I can't see their numbers so it is hard to keep track. As for Big Joe, I love that guy. When he sticks his big ol head in the ATV it cracks me up. Also when you sat and waited for him to lumber into the area that everybody else was you could see his personality. I think he was saying, "I will get there eventually"! Keep up the vlogs and I will keep watching. I have to have my daily dose of Big Joe, Peaches, Elenor and the rest.

[@smartgrandma]

Oh how I love your bison! I love to see the trust they have in you and the trust you have in them! Today was fascinating! Big Joe and Elinor are my favorites. Elinor's sweet face melts my heart! Today's video relaxed me during a very stressful time. So that speaks volumes on how much this old animal lover loves watching your videos! So thank you so very much for all that you share with us! With prayers, love, and gentle hugs for y'all and all your critters too, Donna Gulyas in Spring Hill, Florida. 🙏🦬🦬🙏

[@rebruc3806]

Awesome drone footage of the bison! Thx&see ya😁

[@brendabateman4322]

Once in the back acreage, some of those shots of bison on the horizon should be postcards!!❤ Big Joe is a mighty handsome boy!😍

[@purdy6947]

I was worried about Eleanor the whole video. Thank you for showing her at the end. She is so special! ❤

[@annearoe2293]

Finally, there was Eleanor. Hope she is doing ok. I guess many of the Native American communities have nice recipies for Pemmican.

[@christinawyckoff2164]

Beautiful to see the buffalo 🦬🦬🦬🦬🐃🦬🦬 following you 💕

[@denisehibbs9576]

Amazing how well the bison follow you ! Especially that distance. It's so fun to watch ! Thank you for sharing Baker family !

[@jameswolfe7485]

I lose the sense of how hugeous these animals are, until Big Joe sticks his head into the front seat of the ATV and it takes up ALL the space! He's a large lad! Love the drone shot of the herd following you you, and the (I assume) yearling in the next pasture following along the fence line, no doubt wishing they could join the big herd. Pemmican - just as I was thinking it, you said it, like a granola bar only with meat.Great minds follow similar paths!

[@GuantanamoBayBarbie2]

I once had a bison try that head-in-the-window thing with my Toyota Avalon. His head was easily 2-3x BIGGER than the window. But I found out Bison breath was sweet! He just wanted treats, anyway.

[@dianebankston4131]

Jackie keeps a wide Bearth, good to see the bison moving and the pups.

[@sallysullivan4463]

BRILLIANT IDEA re: persimmon and buffalo jerky ! You get it produced, I'll buy it , GUARANTEED ! I, too , love persimmons ! Am so impressed how you have conditioned your herd to follow you across long distances. Ole Big Joe must have been tired from servicing his herd, 'cause it appeared that he was the last to arrive ! Great video ! THANKS FOR SHARING the event.

[@marilynbridges8697]

He was making sure they all came along, like the big boss does.

[@dorothyburton5266]

I love watching you with them, beautiful Bison .

[@marionlindsay3741]

Love seeing them follow you. They trust you. Those babies have got to be tired. Love Jackie.

[@susandixon3970]

I enjoy hearing them munch on that grass… love your ranch.

[@manuelagama9422]

Hello my dears, I never tire of admiring these magnificent animals, well cared for, I would say almost domesticated and at the same time so wild and so beautiful. I've never been close to one as there aren't any in my country but I loved it. I love what you do. Kisses 💋 and hugs from Portugal 🫶🇵🇹🦬

[@terribudesa4659]

Persimmons are just about inedible. My grandpa grew them and grandma woul make cookies which were pretty good.

[@LindaFaulkner-d7g]

That was awesome watching the great Bison migration 😂😊. Thanks for bringing me along.

[@RatdogDRB]

That is a big move to do all at once. It just shows how well your animals trust you and heed your calling. Nice to see Maya taking her rightful place, riding shotgun with you in the buggy. Since her natural tendencies are to herd, have you considered getting her a little training to hone those traits so she can help you with those times you're moving them? And it's always a good thing to see the Princess getting a little bit of time with you. She's such a sweet and calm girl. God bless you both, Dusty.

[@JudithChrispell-jl4pd]

That would be Sweet for Maya but she still Has To be Cautious on the Herd!!! One of them could accidentally step on her n that would be very Tragic!!! 😭 Like we all have to be Cautious in life!That's why we have God n Jesus n the Angels!!! But remember:Do Not JUMP off a cliff n Expect him to send Angels swooping Down to Save you!!! But he does Always protect n Deliver us From WORSE Evil n For Eternity!!! Blessings n Safety For All!!!

[@PennyLTracy]

This is one of my favorite things to watch! 😊 You do a great job!

[@rosepurdy9581]

You could always transplant the persimmon trees to a specific grove area and cultivate them to ensure good yields. Your county extension service should be able to give you guidance on the process.

[@janetb1690]

The Pied Piper of bison 😂

[@diannamueller9332]

Hey, Dusty! Hoss and girls live next door to my grandson's family, in Paonia! What a coincidence.

[@crystal6811]

Love watching the bison run. So cute the little red dogs learning to follow the ATV with cubes. Always a joy to watch your videos! Thanks for sharing. ❤🦬❤️

[@lynnlafler2768]

I don't hear them saying "Are we there yet?" I love to watch them run...

[@kimdavis1537]

Big Joe says I'm coming don't rush me.😂 I know you will wait for me. I know what has to be done I've got this Dusty 🤣

[@gwilos]

It always amazes me to see the red dogs keeping up with the herd. Even in the wild or in parks, when hundreds of them stampede.

[@pennyentringer168]

They had to adapt that way, or they would have died when traveling long distances. Especially when chased by predators.

[@brendahogue5487]

Dusty love and enjoy your videos. May the lord bless and protect you and your family and the bison and other animals. Moving the Big Joe herd

[@tresfingeros]

Great land management 👍the bison traveled anyways on the open plains, the native Americans used to purposely burn the grass to bring in nice tender grass to lure the buffalo back for hunting. those drone shots of the herd are fantastic..... Do you have any frameable pictures available? Bison bars with peaches ( NO not peaches the bison, peaches the fruit 😂😂) 😂 Big Joe: yep I will get there when I get there 😂 unless you've got bison brownies then I'm 1st in line.😂 Eleanor definitely got the hair style going 👍😂

[@wingsandbeaksbirder2312]

Those bison trust you and know what’s coming is good!😊

[@meredithtowlebanks9240]

I Love cube days too! LOL! It’s a true joy to watch the Bison run alongside you! The excitement and enthusiasm of the herd is pure enjoyment and good clean fun! Thank you Dusty, and your family, for bringing our family a special glimpse into sharing what you all love! We are huge fans of making our dreams come true and we are delighted to witness others pursuing their dreams!

[@lesliez1652]

Dusty...you're amazing. Not just a skilled bison rancher but a technical Pied Piper. They don't grow them that way here in the east.

[@naturenut7695]

Maybe you can rent some goats for the persimmon trees. Lol. Love to see all the trails that the bison have made through the pastures. A little glimpse of what it looked like hundreds of years ago. ❤

[@sunshinegal4294]

Great job! That does have to feel good to see them follow you and be connected to you. Go Peaches! I thought when I stopped it when the drone was working that I counted 31 and of those 14 red dogs. You’ve done great having so many red dogs this season.

[@annebell7274]

I love that guitar music...... Fantastic job Dusty 👍👍👍💯💯💯💛💛💛🙏🙏🙏

[@jansmall72]

Big Joe is a gorgeous Bison

[@marjoriehancock7965]

[@robertgoudy3223]

[@judithrivin2031]

Exciting watching them run. Fun video. You and Marisa get credit for becoming the leaders of the herd. 👏

[@peckaragon]

The red dogs learn at an early age to follow the ATV. A good exercise.

[@bettycarter8339]

My mother made persimmon jelly every year. Us kids would eat as much as we threw into the bucket. Good memories...

Can we see more of Dunbar?

[@letsparadise]

How beautiful to watch you and those big, strong animals. Its also always touching how intelligent they are. Nice to see Eleanor. Thanks for sharing Dusty. All the love and blessings for you and your family.

[@krislange1186]

I love watching those babies run with their mamas, crossing helter skelter all over the place. Made me wish I was there "helping"! LOL! P.S. The bison meat is TOP OF THE LINE. Even our own beef wasn't that tender!! We will order the other package next time. Need to order some jerky as well. One of your best videos! Big Joe has won our hearts!

[@katherineallen9060]

I cannot believe how long they followed you!#😃

[@marilynbridges8697]

Good to see Jacquie encouraging the stragglers at the rear. She is learning her job!
