[@ladybug3856]

Thanks!

[@CrossTimbersBison]

Thank you!!!

[@Da-v3-p4x]

Hey Dusty, I've moaned and groaned about some things over the years, but less and less as you've grown in this business. But you deserve kudos for how you've put your experience into practice. I've watched your channel from almost the beginning, and the way you've learned to handle your bison herd now is impressive. Congratulations! 👍👍👍👍👍

[@paulaadams9546]

Your Mom looks like a teenager out there! It's great to have alot of Great people and family to help! Great job! 😊❤

I thought that baby was going to be crushed.

[@tommas2674]

picked you to talk to: what were they doing to the bison's mouths?

[@SueT8300]

@@tommas2674it’s an oral medication or dewormer.

[@cherrydowns7745]

Thank you Doc and everyone for helping Dusty maintain and grow his beautiful bison herd!

[@dancnluc1]

Oh man when your boot got stuck - I couldn't help from not laughing. It just brought back memories from a similar thing that happened to me years ago. (Boot stuck and almost did not recovery it.) Great setup. I started watching the year that Big Joe was first ran through the shoot. I was sitting on pins and needles the whole time. What improvements you have made to make it safer for everyone. He is such a beautiful creature. His exit - after he was out, he was in no hurry. I have to say I got a little worried about the little reddog for awhile. The way the bison hop - made my day seeing that. Such characters! You, Marissa, and all those helping out are doing amazing work with those amazing bison! Thank you for sharing!

[@krislange1186]

I couldn't quit groaning when Dusty got stuck in the mud\!!

[@hearourvoice5495]

Funny story, my dogs frisbee went in our pond, it’s really low, I thought I could step down on side and with a stick drag it in. Well…I stepped in to far and sunk like that and I had my new muck boots on and I had to drop in the muck on my butt so I wouldn’t loose my new boot. Lol my other dog thought he was helping and jumped on me. I was one mucky mess from front to back. I retrieved my boot but I stunk from the wet silt I was stuck in. No body got to play or walk, mission retreat, 😂

[@cherrydowns7745]

Working the Bison, beautiful. Boot stuck in the mud; Priceless! Sorry Dusty, I giggled! 😆😆😆

[@judithrivin2031]

What changes since the first time you did this! Congrats on Big Joe gaining 200 lbs. Great to see the humans safer and the bison with as little stress as possible. Good job , Dusty and Marissa. And thanks to the helpers. .

[@zurastewart6375]

No big deal for Big Joe, takes it in stride. Good to see his weight gain. Love his hay hats. Well done CTB collective crew. Barn yard stories ”did you see rancher Dusty loose his boot today” 🐴🐓🦃🐕😄

[@pennyentringer168]

I remember how it took three attempts to work him the first time, since he'd wasn't worked in his previous home. He's come a long way since the first time.

[@wrinklesandsprinkles]

Dusty, you sure have streamlined the process of working your bison compared to five years ago! It appears the bison and you are not as nearly stressed out as once was. Congratulations everyone including the bison were not injured!🎉

[@karenhale908]

I'm so impressed with the growth of the herd over the years and all the well-planned changes to your ranch. A result of a dream, patience, a plan, and determination. I have learned so much. Pat yourself on the back, no, hug yourself for all your accomplishments and celebrate. Sincerely, have a wonderful Thanksgiving and a Merry Christmas.

[@nancy-katharynmcgraw2669]

Superb job, one & ALL!!! Glad to see Big Joe's wt has increased! Thankful for the drone footage, it all really does come together! Amen !

[@rosewright9451]

I think that it's great how you have gotten better through the years of running the bison through the squeeze shoot. The people that help should also be very proud of themselves for the team work and keeping the bison safe and calmish. Well done to all of you.

[@collettedobrocke4518]

Your bison have such character........they make me giggle..hippity hop Hippity hop....and then the mozie ones slow and mozenley along 😆 🤣 😂 😹

[@larryburkett9628]

Mud, you've got to love it. One year I was up at the 777 in the winter, and Moritz an I went out to look over the Bison and my boots got so caked with that heavy mud they get up there in the winter and it thought I had totally wrecked my boots. It was terrible, but to look out at the animals there was something you don't ever forget.

[@CrossTimbersBison]

Oh man! Cool you got to see the 777

[@catherinescotttoner1392]

The yearling bulls were easy on you cuz they felt bad about your stuck boot! So thoughtful of them.

[@CrossTimbersBison]

Haha

[@RatdogDRB]

Getting your system fine tuned quite a bit there, Dusty. Nice to see Big Joe healthy and stackin' on the weight like that. God bless you folks in your efforts.

[@sherryb9355]

Big Joe and his hay hat!😂

[@betsyschneider5740]

You are working like a well-oiled machine.Really enjoy your videos. Those guys are big and dangerous and you do a fantastic job. Have great respect for you and your crew and especially your wife.

Boot stuck in mud . Gotta love farming/ranching .😅😅

[@mj.merdian3497]

Not funny but TBTG nothing is sprained or broken. 😂

[@JoAnnBizorik]

Congratulations on a job well done!!! Happy Thanksgiving to all the families who helped in this work of love for the bison!! May God bless all of you!!

[@otakelblanchemanor0659]

Great setup! Even had the vehicles lined at a barrier. Get them in, get them out. Fantastic teamwork!

[@pennyentringer168]

I noticed all the vehicles were white. Maybe that's the color they buy in that part of the country.

[@alanatolstad4824]

For my part, I'd like to thank everyone involved for making this an awesome experience.

[@MrsCan_Do]

You have come a long way when it comes to working the herd! This went very smooth!❤❤❤❤❤

[@CrossTimbersBison]

Thank you!

[@craigroberson8757]

The bison truly are magnificent and beautiful. The care you show to each of your animals is amazing. The behind the scenes help as you work the bison probably the most important part. Thanks again for taking us along for the ride.

[@cynthianichelson6324]

You have to have a white automobile to help at CTB. 😂😂

[@Kathyluvspoohbear64]

L😂L I was thinking WoW look at all those white vehicles at CTB

Boy, watching this video shows how important it is for each person playing their role in this process. Hats off to each one on the team! Good job!

[@marye.sullivan7998]

I live only a couple of miles from the National Bison Range in Montana, now owned by the Tribes, and I've gone many times to watch the roundup. Those animals are huge, powerful and beautiful. When they hit the fences, the entire platforms that we watch them from shakes. Just be careful out there.

[@CrossTimbersBison]

I’d love some of theirs

[@teenagardner3623]

Love this time of year when you folks come together working the Bison. I learn so much. Each year is getting better with the process. Congratulations 🎊. I am curious how much Blackjack weighed?

From where I sit, looks like it went smoother than past workings...and you got the bad luck dispensed with early. You'll get it clean! Keep on bison ranching.

[@marthagaluszka8888]

My job as a kid was to clean my dad's boots. Every night I could tell where he'd been.... and some of those boots were STINKY!!!!!

Hey, as a kid, that was my job too. But I did my dad's, poppa's, and uncle's also..would take them off then clean them! I loved every minute of it! ❤🫶🙏

First to get dirty, first to wash lol!

[@samanthadillard2853]

That seemed to go a heck of a lot easier than it usually does I think the option of only sorting off a few to put in the straight at the same time works out a little bit better

Love watching you all work the bison. Thank you!

What an amazing team you had together. Loves this video, not that I don't love the other videos. Keep your animals healthy. Awesome rest of the week fille with God's unconditional Love and Blessings. From South Africa

[@deannawesenberg4211]

Oh Dusty. When you got stuck in the muck made me remember when I was 13 had to go out barn yard gate to the pasture that was forever deep muck. Well i got stuck and could not get out without loosing both boots. Dad had to come and carry me out and get my boots. Needless to say he was not happy and never sent me out that way ever again😂

[@barbarahuck3136]

LOL.

[@royrostjr1352]

Hello there dusty it's always a pleasure watching you have a wonderful happy Thanksgiving to your family members ❤

[@joywebster2678]

Last week he said he usually has to go and Dart her versus putting through the works.

[@pennyentringer168]

I know she didn't come with the rest of the herd when he brought them to the corral.

Star of the videos: Marissa's sense of humor, her chuckles, and when she make funny jabs at Dusty.

Wow Rusty, far cry from first time you did this , that was awesome to watch especially Big Joe at almost 2000!! Thanks and to all your helpers too.

[@jerryeubanks491]

❤❤😂 it's that time of the year, the fun time for us, KZbin watchers to see all the bison up close and you guys working them, keep up the good work, they look good

[@cynthiawaite4410]

Well I can say this was the least stressful working for me to watch. Looked like everything went smooth. The first few gave me so much anxiety worried about all of you but not this time. ❤ yall

[@TheSwiftMagician]

Working these beasts is a fascinating process. It looks like they’re used to people enough to remain MOSTLY calm. But it still looks like a long hard day of constant work for a lot of people!

[@primrose64au]

Im glad you mentioned Daniel, I was wondering why I couldnt see him there. He has been helping you for a number of years at round-up time. He did a magnificent job with the drone. I was watching the footage thinking, Wow, nice shots. The whole operation was a fantastic team effort, you have amassed a very experienced and giving community of people there. Thank you everyone for a fantastic episode. ❤❤

[@mamabear1260]

I am not a bison rancher...I do enjoy watching and learning from you and you wife and crew. I have been watching you since almost the beginning when I was an over the road truck driver... until I hurt my back. I would see your video pop up and watch it b4 I fell asleep. I hope you have a fantastic Thanksgiving y'all. Many Blessings ❤❤❤

Awesome! Thank you!

[@gsbealer]

Boy, things are moving a lot smoother with the experience that the previous 5 years of working has provided. I’m impressed!

[@pennyentringer168]

Good job on working the herd at the Ponderosa. If you didn't get mud on your sock when your boot stuck in the mud, you did really well. It wouldn't go so smoothly without all your helpers.

[@Frostyblu]

I thought that young bull was going to test you there for a second. I guess he changed his mind. There always seems to be a job to do on a ranch. I'm wishing you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving Frosty from San Diego California 💜

[@dt8ustotten285]

That was soooo awesome! Brilliant job you all! Thanks for sharing... sorry about the muddy boot..LOL Love from Rhode Island! Would love to see your ranch in person...but this is the next best thing :-)

[@carolynfrancis-mclucas6185]

I hope that the bison (23.26) that got trampled, is okay. False alarm, it got up at ( 23.27, I hadn't watched this far yet). My bad. Tell Doc that it was good to see him, we missed seeing his grandson working the hydraulic system. He's a good kid. Also, have greatly missed seeing Cole Meger's smiling face. He's funny without even trying. And looking at Marissa, I know Brooke's gorgeous hair came from her. When you rounded up the Big Joe herd with her, I couldn't get over how long it is. It really grew fast, just like Brookes. 😊 Also, it was nice seeing the usual suspects. 😆 Marshall, Jerry, the always reliable Kevin, Donna, and persons unknown or unseen. Mr Big Joe says," This is set up all wrong. The run is supposed to start over there, and we empty into this pasture over here. You're trying to baffle us with bison bullsh*t" 😂 Wondering if some of the heifers will go to Mr Dunbar's herd. Great work today. You made it look easy.

[@jackieconnor6845]

Marissa and you make a brilliant team , Brooks looks just like her mum…. Beautiful young ladies 😊😊😊😊xx

[@angiebrewer9960]

I love this period to watch. Dusty losing your boot probably wasn’t funny for you but for the rest of us! Tell you later. Wow white trucks must be a popular color down there. I’m sure the Bison hate this period. Now regarding your boot, hilarious. 😂 😂😂
