I’m an equine veterinarian. Friend of mine suckered me into working a herd of bison one winter during slow season for a friend of his. I grew up with beef cattle and my family and I still have cattle so I agreed when I was assured they had good handling facilities. I get there and they actually did have good facilities. However, I left there 2 hours later with nothing accomplished and their facilities destroyed. THAT…is a different animal.

[@TheBeardedButchers]

Well said 💯

[@Garseraph]

Very cool to see the process- love "behind-the-scenes" videos of the work involved...thanks!

[@TheBeardedButchers]

Glad you like a "behind-the-scenes" video! What should we cover next? 😉

[@Ksweetpea]

My favorite way to explain handling bison is they will run like thoroughbreds, turn like cutting horses, and have no hesitation to slam into a gate or trailer door as hard as they can

[@johndunbar2393]

That's probably the most interesting sorting facility I've seen, but I like the idea of it. Seems simple, yet effective.

[@TheBeardedButchers]

Glad you think so 🙏

[@jz-jt5ip]

I love all your videos, but this is my fav so far… love seeing the animal time required to make it all happen. Y’all got a bunch of skills that don’t get shown on camera very often. As always, thanks!! Looking forward to more!

Y'know I remember sorting and weighing and moving hogs. And there were some tense moments. Those tense moments seem pretty pale compared to moving bison. You fellas have it worked out for sure.

Agreed. I grew up on a pig farm, and it scared me to death sometimes. I'm not messing with a buffalo.

[@1tojo]

I'm 82 years old and raised cattle for ov 40 years. Any time I was getting one of mine ready to take to the slaughter house I always grained them for 2 months because grain fed taste better than grass. I know that there has been a big sale grass is better for you to the American people while we ship all of the feed lot cattle over seas. But I know and you know the fat is what makes it taste better. Now people are paying for Wagi because it tast better and to get a good steak its what I buy

Thank you for your response to my question about the bulls ! I know of at least one possibly two bison farms here in Kansas ! One is about 16 miles east of my farm ! The other one was near the city of Arkansas city more southeast of about a 2 1/2 hour drive ! It was there 20 years ago when I lived there ! I believe that they had 6 herds of bison !

Can't wait to visit your store, been asking so many hunters to sell me deer jerky, venison and no-one ever does. Going to Google directions to your store. I hope everyone is as friendly as you appear to be, i will need help selecting the spices. Man I can just taste the bison, lamb chops and venison steak now. I have even asked people if you could by deer meat in stores and I was told no. I will be coming from Columbus just so I can shop in your store.

[@williammatthews2948]

@@TheBeardedButchers It's interesting to see how the animals are handled before they go thru the system. I'd love to see the entire process the way you do it, from the slaughter to hanging a carcass. Stuff like this brings back memories of my childhood, when a local businessman helped everyone harvest their farm animals, and when hunters harvested deer. Found out many years later that they got shut down for not having a license. His business closed not long after that.

I had always heard that bison were extremely aggressive and territorial but these don’t seem to be as bad as I thought. Now that said, I did notice Seth telling Scott to watch out when one of them was getting a bit jumpy. Amazing animals - the size and strength is unreal!

[@Ksweetpea]

They're not aggressive or territorial in a sorting situation like this, they're just VERY FAST and will absolutely toss you if you're in the way of where they think freedom is

[@cajunphilippine]

Interesting my friends.

[@yoyobah1862]

It must have been an awesome spectacle to see thousands of Bison running across the plains way back when. Sad to say but we don't have many here in Australia anymore, maybe they'll start breeding again or at least import the meat to get people on board as a beef alternative.

[@TheBeardedButchers]

Hopefully the time for that comes soon enough!

[@cyrenecai]

Bison never existed in Australia natively, they were only in North America and northern Eurasia. Nor were cattle, those were introduced by English settlers and honestly the ones that went wild are doing significant damage to the environment as the plant life there never had large grazing herbivores like them.

This video was very interesting. I've never seen Bison being corralled n loaded up on a trailer.... very interesting. Now I'm wondering what will happen to them next? (I wonder if you'll ever show an animal being "butchered" I mean you guys ARE the BEARDED BUTCHERS,..... RIGHT? I'm not talking about inside the store, kitchen, but outside right after it's killed when ya all gotta skin it n stuff like that. It'll have good memories for me...... of survival food!) Anyhow thanks for this video, I loved it now I can't wait till the next one. Remember ta be safe. God Bless 😇

[@willgraham8878]

I have a question for you guys. I've read that Bison refuse to eat grains and will only graze on grass'. Is that true? Also do you sell what is called "Rocky Mountain Oyster" term for bull balls for food?

[@chrismitrecic8879]

I think a good cutting horse would have made this a lot shorter process. If you're worried about stress, just let them alone for a day. Also, a good way to get your arm broken in the trailer. Be careful! Still, love the vids!

[@PrairieNursery]

Agreed, sticking your arm through the trailer is very unsafe if the animal hits its, need a rope connected to the gate that you pull to shut.

It looks like you guys have got a very well engineered system going on. In my line of work and recreation, I always look at things critically to try to mitigate dangers as much as possible and looking at the vulnerable points of your system, I can say y'all look like adrenaline junkies! I can only guess that without a high cost remote controlled hydraulic system installed, there just has to be some risks involved. It does look like fun... scary fun, but fun, nonetheless. Great video

Ive heard you can get a cow to go where you want, and you can get a bison to go where ever it wants to go. Lol
