Prescribed Burn On Our Bison Ranch! (Before & After)

[@susanneal3780]

The pasture is beautiful. The bison are so lucky to be yours. Thank you Dusty for bringing back our land. Just to own the bison, anybody could do; to raise them, is another story. What a gift you are to our world.

[@brendarussell7069]

This is so awesome!

[@cherimalmquist5577]

Expressed so well Susan. So warms my heart to know people like Dusty & family & friends care so much for our beautiful Country. We are not the only one smiling because of what you are doing. Our Almighty Creator smiles on all of you for sure....job well done. If any animal deserves appreciation & to be here in America it is surely the majestic Bison. You, Dusty & Co, ....a credit to Humanity 🙂

[@karlamandrell3954]

Really great work Dusty and Marissa, Brooks! Your team and the help you got for this to happen are all amazing! I remember watching the burn, good to see it worked perfectly. 🦬🦬

[@KarenH8128]

Well said!

[@carrols.hawkins7770]

Cole and Ethan were so interesting to listen to. Seeing the pasture with all the new growth is exciting and beautiful. Thank you to you and Marissa for choosing to bring back native growth for the bison. It will be exciting to see the day the bison are finally turned in to the 80 acre burn. ☺️☺️☺️

[@cindybaker358]

This is such an educational video! I love seeing all the different flowers, grasses and insects that are living off this ground! So in touch to the Native American learnings. Thank you for sharing!

[@johnking8679]

Àbsolutey !! This is definitely an educational video and I salute you and your wife, Dusty !! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing !!

[@megslittlehouseinthecountry]

It is amazing to see the native plants and grasses coming back after a burn. These are the types of prairie plants that the bison evolved to thrive on for thousands of years. 💖💖💖

[@anj3595]

This is so exciting and I just love seeing you young people so involved in preserving the Nation, restoring your area. I pray it spreads across our country.

[@yvonneadams5377]

All the different flowering plants are so amazing and to have it explained as the native Americans would have had it long ago. This pasture is going to be like candy for your bison. Such a great thing you did by burning. ❤

[@terryhobbs2038]

Great to hear the biologists talking about the plant and animal diversity.

[@elizabethlink3993]

💚 What y'all are doing there to regenerate the land by bringing in a knowledgeable proscribed burn team and creating the conditions to rejuvenate the soil with healthy microbes and fungal mycelium and fixing atmospheric nitrogen with the legumes is absolutely magnificent, as are the Bison! To see you all out there in the Burn Unit with all that diversity of plants, insects, pollinators and birds is truly bringing tears of Joy to my eyes and my Heart. Bless you, Bless you, Bless you! 💚

[@srqlisa7881]

What a beautiful recovery of native plants absolutely gorgeous. The knowledge of your team just blew my mind. Lucky bison.

[@bridgetgreene2457]

The pasture looks great and all the plants that feed and bring in other animals are great !! The red dogs are to cute ! Thank you all for bringing this educational part of the flowers and grasses !!

[@ritayoung1841]

This video was so cool. Your work to restore the natural growth on that pasture is inspiring.

[@SallyGreimes]

SO IMPRESSIVE!!! Thank you for bringing us along to share their knowledge of what has resulted from what you KNEW was going to be the best management of your land. You showed glimpses over the winter. As a WA native of 5 generations, i know our PNW natives, not what is in your area. The little pollenators are fascinating too. Without them we would be hurting. Thanks to all of you.

[@sharihopkins1959]

What an amazing transformation of your pasture! Can hardly wait to see the bison running in there! They’re going to love it! God bless y’all! ❤🦬

[@joylynnburkhardt3202]

You are doing a fantastic job of rebuilding the native flora ..

[@corbeilville]

Dusty, thank you so much for bringing us along with Ethan and Cole. Like you said they share their knowledge with us. I loved it. Cole did a wonderful job videoing, capturing the beautiful flowers, and other native plants. I hope you bring us along for the next control burn.

[@ColeMeger]

Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!

[@corbeilville]

@@ColeMeger your videos are unique. You have a nice angle.

[@noelearl5545]

You are just amazing. You’re giving a best life for your bison & a best life for your ranch. Keep up the great work!

[@sharonbolton3576]

Over 30 years ago I questioned the burns in Oklahoma until it was explained to me an I witnessed the growth of beautiful grass thicker and healthier.

[@coolwatyr]

The beautiful growth is just everything. I’m so excited to see what the seasons look like as the burn unit transitions through a year. Thank you Dusty & Marissa Blessings of abundance and happiness ❤

[@teenagardner3623]

Wow, what a great video seeing the once was burn unit that is now thriving with life in many levels. I can't wait until the bison rotates to literally greener pastures. Thank you, everyone, for all the hard work and for sharing the learning process of being great stewards of the land.

[@cwelshworld]

It is great to see those babies. You are doing an excellent job of being a good steward of your land.

[@earlshaner4441]

Good evening from Syracuse NY everyone thank you for sharing your adventures and your herds

[@Pyle81]

Look at what the fire did to that ground. The return on that simple burn is AMAZING. Its amazing what a simple burn does for the land. You keep up with that plan, And your grandchildren will see the benefits from all your hard work. This is what mother nature did on her own, Long before man came along.

[@jansmall72]

Bison are interesting to watch they are huge and amazing they are running in groups they look like they are protecting each other beautiful bison

[@maryrivera8096]

That burn unit is gorgeous! Who would have thought all those different species were there!

[@johnking8679]

WOW - so exciting !! I never gave it a second thought about the grasses, and assorted plant growth on your Bison Ranch !! Having seen your two friends and their knowledge of all the varieties of plant growth and what they can do to the soil. So exciting Dusty, and your entire team of followers as you move forward with your Bison herds !!

[@sannehansen4156]

Men's Flowers nerd talk - I love it

[@wingsandbeaksbirder2312]

What a fantastic tour of the “Burn Unit” and all the flora and fauna diversity! Having professionals as friends is the cherry on top. You are doing a great job! Work, work, work 😅and then hand feed your bison 😊. This channel is my favorite.😊

[@DustyReinsStories]

Great informative and educational segment in your endeavors. I hope to help in that effort someday. We Red Raider alums wind up doing some amazing things!

[@Shawn-id7gc]

This is feeding my biology nerdiness right now. When they started talking about plants and native insects and pollinators. Building a complete ecosystem. I applaud the practice of regenerative ranching and permaculture.

[@marilynstorey8813]

What a joy to look at the pasture after the burn. Seeds lie dormant for ages. The flowers and plants are beautiful.

[@thefosterfam484]

Whooooo Hooooo another video!!! Ponarosa is looking great!!! So are the red dogs...

[@Mrsmess6466]

Fantastic to see the rejuvenation of the pasture. I love the way you are working with Mother Nature to give the land and Bison the best of everything. ❤

[@darlahartman2003]

Thanks Dusty for sharing your adventures with us. That pasture looks great! I can't wait to watch you rotate the bisons into it.

[@rickhowell7507]

Reminds me of my Grandfather's farm when I was a kid. He had a couple of dairy cows that he milked and my grandma would make butter for sale. The onions would grow wild in the pasture and the cows loved to eat them. Only problem was, it made the milk taste like onions. Thanks for bringing back an old memory. Love your enthusiasm for what you do with the bison, and appreciate you letting us share a portion of your life. Keep up the great work!

[@debbieashton4976]

I so enjoy following your progress. Informative and such a conscious plan for ecologically sound land management. Plus the bison are cool.😊

[@ataurus2at]

The pastures look so beautiful!!! I'm sure the bison will love it

[@danielashford2430]

It’s beautiful Dusty,Happy Mothers Day Marrisa,peace to you all…

[@RatdogDRB]

It's exciting to see all of that healthy growth happening, and glad you have the guys along to help define what they're seeing and looking for. What section is getting burned this coming fall?

[@goldenmare2594]

I grew up watching burn control of land..saw the benefits, too. Glad some are back to using it..your pasture show very well why it is beneficial!

[@colleendean7435]

[@marinbandel2574]

The pastures are lovely, and many thanks to all those who helped CTB develop this land. Hugs from N.C..❤️

[@lindahipp8329]

The pasture is looking good. Glad you have the team working with you to make a better pasture for your bison to graze on. GOD BLESS Y'ALL.

[@Ramona57-TX]

I just love seeing the new growth bringing back that natural ecosystem and the wonderful benefits to the land, and the wildlife. I really hope to see more and more people getting involved in these programs and helping to heal mother earth. The burn last October was an awesome set of videos and the learning from all these guys was so cool. Dusty, I have to give you and Marisa a big high five for everything that you do, also to all the people that came in to help and now to see the results of that burn. I love this channel; I have personally learned so much. Thank you so much for the valuable content you have created.

[@terresiagregg9326]

Thats wonderful when you did the burn in October the grass is looking so good glad you have people that help you do that

[@deloresrogers685]

The land looks beautiful! What a wonderful job you are doing in reviving the land for your bison. ❤❤

[@marysewall7527]

Thank you for all you do with your land and for how you raise your animals

[@marybethkolesar5918]

I love all the information on what’s growing in the pasture. They have such knowledge

[@angiebrewer9960]

Wow…. So great to see the fruits of your labor! Congrats!

[@katherinemclean7103]

I've been watching since before you had the burn last Fall. It's so great to see such great results! The bison are so fortunate to live with you! Just love Big Joe, Dunbar, and the beautiful lady bison and babies. The flowers are so amazing! Prayers for health and safety!🙏❤🙏

[@kimberlyk418]

The pastures look amazing. I enjoy watching and learning from you and your channel.

[@wrinklesandsprinkles]

I’m excited to learn Dakota County in Minnesota has established a herd of bison within about 25 minutes outside the city limits in Minneapolis. I just heard about it so I’ll be checking them out this summer. Bison are coming home all over North America!🇺🇸🦬

[@coleengogerty3852]

I absolutely love to see our natural prairies come back to life for both our extraordinary bison and our other native wildlife and plants. Thank you Dusty for being a great steward of the land for all.

[@sherylhutton138]

I loved seeing all those natural wild flowers coming into bloom. I was wondering what the purple flower was at the end? I love purple is why i was asking.

[@rebeccaplummer7847]

The difference is beautiful and amazing. Love seeing what's going on.

[@prr500]

Great Video, perfect real life review of a burn!

[@margesteinmetz863]

Dusty thanks for sharing the continued journey. Can't wait to see the Glorious Bison Blessings to CTB 🙏

Such a fantastic video so enjoyed istening to them explain what plants they found and names. Very interesting! Thanks ❤ you all

[@user-pb4wv9hf1t]

Really excited to see you and your wife using natural methods for your management plan!

[@unitabob]

I promised water to all my youtubers, Starting with Anchor Brand Ranch 15 months ago promise water to get them out of drought. Then did Wyoming, New Mexico, and last but not least Oklahoma. California just got in the way of getting water to Nevada.

[@storiesinstones]

This video was just amazing. I think your team was very excited and happy to come back and see the results of their hard work and planning. Great job you guys 👏👏

[@sharonpiecharka1339]

love, love this. Ur protection of bison and and where they live and roam is out standing, thank u so much 4 sharing,

[@Brenda-bb8hk]

Great video today! It was very informative and interesting to learn about all the different grasses. The bison are going to love all that green grass and it sounds like it’s going to be very healthy for them. The burn was a success! ❤

[@randypayne6147]

Really enjoyed the show this evening. Educational and learning to be good stewards of God's creation. Really enjoyed this one .

[@pamelahousley7543]

You did the right thing - amazing!!!! So beautiful

[@kathywilliamson223]

That is awesome that all those wild flowers were identified.

Like kids in a candy store. Love it.

[@merrylmarsh9037]

A spectacular result!!!!!! Congratulations.

[@williamgahman5028]

Hi Dusty and everyone. Great video. Pasture is looking great I watched the controlled burn. Bison are going to love it. Be great watching them running. Yall must be so proud of what you've done. God bless and love yall ❤❤

[@shanellstrehlow7110]

Your land is looking fantastic and rich with nutrients for the bison herd. This is proof positive that the prescribed burn was totally beneficial. Very excellent job. May God continue to bless you all and your land 😇👍.

[@rhondasweeney7271]

I remember the video on the fire that was scary in a lot of ways but look at it now absolutely beautiful and very beneficial for the Bison.😊

[@Linda-it6ci]

40 years ago my father in Australia was applying natural grasses, bugs, bees, etc plus soil bacterial diversity. Plus he used triple damning pig faeces which produced clear liquid. He sprayed Sorghum and his crops were 9 feet tall. Cattle feed ...

[@susanthomas4753]

This might be one of my favorite videos. I had watched the prescribed burn video a while back. Seeing that land now is amazing. It's about the Bison, but ya'll are improving the entire ecosystem. So cool.

[@marilynjewell9337]

You and your amazing people are so Fantastic for the world

[@scottfindley7284]

I never thought a video about grass would hold my attention lol but this was an AMAZING video. Very informative and it made me want to learn more. KEEP UP THE AMAZING JOB DUSTY.

[@hugeblue]

What a great video. Enjoyed the experts exppaining the differant grasses ! Thanks

[@wendylou8963]

That pasture looks amazing😍😍😍

[@melbawoods6513]

They sure are smart men!

[@chestersarang806]

Wow the pasture is a meadow now! Im so inspired to see young ranchers taking care of soil, plants, ecosystem, I hope and Im sure it will bring all you hoped for and more! 💪🏾❤

[@Wolfpug]

All the wildflowers are beautiful! The Bison are gonna love that pasture!

[@T.C.216]

Nature always wins! Great video!!

[@teresamurray7839]

So many people don't realize the benefits of controlled burns! So glad Dusty to see the pastures looking so good! Awesome informative and exciting video!

[@irene-starbridgewater2793]

Dusty, I am so happy to see these fellas being so excited over all the varieties of plants that came from the burn as well as the insects. Cole and Ethan are definitely a n asset to your ranch and all ranchers for that matter. Thank you all for posting this so we all can learn.

[@terimmarceau5804]

This is the best video I have seen. So much education. Congratulations!

[@barbarascott2833]

In England I was brought up in the countryside and know yarrow, sorrel, wild garlic, vetch, red and white clover etc etc and knew they were good for animal grazing. The area mentioned in the video you called a “farrier ring” as a little girl in England we called a “fairy ring” imagining creatures marking areas for dancing and parties. Thank you for reminding me. All good stuff to learn.

[@larryfisher5796]

What a great video I'm 79years old I learned a lot from this video . Great job Guys Great job .I enjoy your channel so so much ,👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@julianroccopesa3491]

Great video, Ty ❤️❤️❤️💯 Really enjoyed, all the plant life, lot of natural medicine. That was a lot of fun information, truly appreciate, Ty✌️🙏❤️🕯️🎈🌻😊

[@kimkramarski-smith774]

The end result of a prescribed burn is AMAZING !

[@MaDonnaB]

Knowing what you're looking at and it's purpose for the animals and insects and bison really helps us appreciate nature and it's importance more. Thank you!!!! It's beautiful!

[@cherylmillard2067]

The Great Plains routinely caught fire before it was settled so this makes sense. Vetch is a great nitrogen fixing ground cover. What an amazing comeback.

[@edithchapman6651]

It is incredible when you honor mother nature.....how much she gives back to the land......if only humans would learn these lessons. Thank you for the education....knowledge is everything to understanding

[@dennisreeves632]

Outstanding video, so happy to see the excellent progress.

[@brendadickenson3547]

Turned out great! They do this in Florida or we would have really bad wildfires and it helps the wildlife so much!

[@stevischermi6409]

WOW. Lots of info!! I agree about people deciding what a "weed" is...who says what's a weed?? What "authority"? HAH!!! Good stuff guys😊👍

[@judelyons1]

This is a great example of rewilding. Bringing back the bison is so good for the land.

[@maryanncuccio3705]

I always knew that controlled burns were beneficial to the land but now I know why. Thank you for this important information. Love your channel. Keep ranchin'.

[@ceceliacampbell7838]

The pastures are so beautiful. I never knew all this about the grasses. So interesting. Watching from Alabama.
