Found This On The Ranch, Used It For Our Bison!

[@maryrussell979]

I love how you use what you find. I love to watch your bison’s they are so beautiful. Take care and God bless you and your family

[@kimkramarski-smith774]

Hope y'all had a Merry Christmas. Thanks for showing Dunbar !

I've two new terms to add to my Bison ranching lexicon; 'ranch engineering' and one I made up, 'supportive skepticism.' What every good wife needs in her Bison ranching skillset. 😉👍

DUSTY, YOU HAVE SUCH GOOD BUFFALO. THEY KNOW YOU AND KNOW WHAT YOU DO FOR THEM...SEEM TO BE GRATIFUL. LOVE TO WATCH. NICE REPURPOSING...ALWAYS DID THAT TO SAVE MONEY AS SINGLE PARENT ALL MY LIFE EXCEPT FOR 5 YEARS. HARD LIFE.

You and Marissa are a good team. May you, Marissa, Brooks and all the rest of the folks you love have joy and good health in 2025.

I can’t tell you how much I enjoy watching your herd and you interact. I’ve learned so much just watching you work with them and around them. I’ll never see them the same again. Thank You 🙏

[@tonyn3123]

The steel pipe will last for many years. For what it's worth, I worked on drainage related issues for over 45 years, and I would recommend adding some sort of headwall at the inlet (and outlet, even though it should be considered secondary to the inlet) and leave a slight sump over the steel pipe that you might one day pour with concrete to act as a hard surface for an overflow (stream ford). An overflow will occur, and a hard surface cap will help with loss of the backfill and reduce future maintenance work. This would be a minimum to substantially reduce costs for maintenance and labor. A long-term solution would be a much larger pipe sized for future potential flows and substantial headwalls with integral toe-walls to all but eliminate erosion except in a very unusual rain event such as a 500-year flood. Approaches to the stream would also need to be raised to maintain the structure. But cost would be substantially higher for this more permanent fix. Personally, I would not go to that expense unless you have the means. Your current pipe replacement is much better than the previous pipe. Thanks.

[@CrossTimbersBison]

Great advice. Should I put some bigger rock at the inlet and some around the outlet?

[@debrarolland1704]

Schematics might be effective.

Great job on the culvert. Always enjoy seeing the bison.

You make me smile whenever I watch you work. My mother and farther were both Okies and the mind set is really easy to spot. My Dad went through the depression and Dust bowl when he was young that taught him to waste nothing.

Looks like well casing. Put waterbars or check dams across the gully. The material washing down the gully will settle out and fill it in. Add some seed and hay for mulch/

That culvert is a great find! Glad you were able to repurpose it. I've noticed lately how really good and healthy your bison look! I also see consistent improvement-refinement in your handling of them and how curious and willing and docile they stay with you. Wondering if you notice the calves becoming more docile as their mom's have also over a few years.

[@CrossTimbersBison]

Thank you for the positive words! Calves typically will act how their mom acts…if momma is crazy, calf usually is crazy! Lol.

[@lorileeolmsted3869]

I had to laugh Dusty, when you were talking about what some animals would eat…I used to have a small herd of mountain goats on my little ranch years ago. I once came home to find that they had eaten part of my Weber grill. The rest of it was scattered. Big Billy was like Dennis The Menace when I wasn’t home. The memories and stories I have…🫣🤣🤣🤣

[@Bearsgypsy1]

🇮🇪☘️🇺🇸 that’s proper ranching most surely!!! And that’s such a perfect example of loving American family working hard together to make things work… Cows are fed magnets to keep the wire etc they swallow that they find in the pastures in the 1st stomachs & in one spot. I’ve seen softball sized balls weighing 5-7lbs taken out of cows guts …

[@donnatidwell8472]

Enjoying watch you two working on culvert.

[@carolynfrancis-mclucas6185]

Marissa, you're a hoot. 😆 Dusty, kicking around the hay is a good idea. Spreading a good layer of hay between the rows of your flower/vegetable garden will help hold in moisture during dry spells. It also inhibits weed growth. Your fields get those cracks in it when you are in a dry spell. Too bad you don't have enough hay to cover the problem areas. You have too much land. 😊 You can use newspapers between the rows in the garden, but not in a field.

[@janepipkin8139]

repurposed cardboard boxes work great for garden also and decompose nicely

[@carolynfrancis-mclucas6185]

@@janepipkin8139 Great idea, I didn't think of that. You would think that with all the Amazon boxes, I would've thought of that. 🤔 I'm getting old.

[@terryhopkins1466]

According to Greg Judy, unrolling the hay backward is the best. It scatters and covers a larger area. It also works better if you go at a higher speed.
