Releasing Bison Into Our Biggest Pasture! What Could Go Wrong?

[@philayoung6287]

I loved watching the cows standing at the fence watching the new neighbors coming. What a site to watch. Doing an excellent job!❤

[@patevans3709]

"Cows just wanna have fun!" It was amusing to watch them and their curiosity.

[@carolharris2357]

I wonder if they're thinking, Wow, ugly versions of ourselves.

[@marjoriedean9701]

Absolutely beautiful watching them run onto the fresh ground.

[@sherriweibert3311]

Loved seeing the cattle all stacked up like cord wood against the fence to catch a glimpse of their furry neighbors! So cute! 😁

[@karensweet6530]

The Bison were like kids in a Candy Store with all the good yummy grasses and flowers! You could see they were excited to run and walk on new pasture! I love the Drone footage while they're running and the pattern they run in. They're Beautiful... I really love to see Marissa out there taking it all in. She's a Natural Woman! ❤❤ You have a beautiful and amazing Wife Dusty! Appreciate her and all her great qualities of Ranching! Thank you for bringing us along for the adventure! God Bless you, family and friends! 🙏🙏❤❤🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@geraldjacobs2376]

That looks like a genuinely good time. I've always liked buffalo since grade school. Never could understand the government destroying millions upon millions of them, no matter what their reason. I am in admiration of what you are doing all the way down the ecological chain. My hat is off to you and the bison, you are the best. Thanks man .

[@carolharris2357]

​​@@geraldjacobs2376 BISON. Buffalo are in Europe.

[@susanwatson1599]

Bison are so important in returning the overall bio-diversity to central North America. I so enjoy watching the progress you have made in contributing to that goal.

[@maryjanebeatty6030]

Wow what fun watching these majestic creatures enjoy the new pasture! Just beautiful. Thanks for sharing and taking us along :)

[@charleszacharybennett7827]

You guys seem to do such a beautiful job of honoring the land and life on it, of explaining what you are doing, and filming and using sound tracks for your videos. It is a joy to watch you. Marisa needs to be just a little more visible in your videos. Maybe she doesn't want to be or something but I'm guessing she is just as big of a part of this as you are.

[@darlahartman2003]

WOW! Thanks Dusty for sharing your adventures with us 👍 It's been exciting to watch your bisons transfer to new pastures and watching them run. I'm truly grateful that ranchers are bringing back the bisons. Thanks to everyone who helped you out.

[@kimkramarski-smith774]

Between the music selection & drone footage it really sent this video to a new level ! Thank You. So enjoyable .

[@williamgahman5028]

Hi Dusty and Everyone. So awesome to see the bison in the big pasture and running so magnificent. So excited for yall. What an achievement. God bless and love yall ❤❤

[@coolwatyr]

Dusty & Marissa I had chills watching the bison running on the new pasture. It is so incredible. Thank you for sharing the great information about the burn area and the native plants that grow there! Blessings of Abundance in all that you may need or want ❤

[@bobbaker8263]

Nice video. Seeing the Bison in a new section was so cool especially the overhead view with the drone. Music was spot on. Watching the cattle with curiosity as they all gathered to see the Bison was funny to say the least. Once they were in the new section they reminded me of kids finding a new place to explore. Finally quite the ecosystem you have going on with plants, flowers, insects, grasses. It’s amazing how beautiful it all looks. Bison seemed very happy. Great job everyone. ❤

[@johnking8679]

Yeah, Dusty - I love your drone shots !! The drone overhead doesn't seem to bother the bison !! Maybe it's too high up for them to hear or out of sight.........?

[@SallyGreimes]

I think they are just used to it. It has been there at the Ponderosa as long as they have been there. They trust Dusty and Marissa. He and Marissa have been around daily caring for them.

[@barbarascott2833]

Great to watch. Thank you for sharing. Fun to see the cattle checking out their new neighbours. Gorgeous lush green grass.

[@cindyshipp4124]

What an awesome video. Kudos to everyone, especially the bison, well played. What a thrilling experience. Hoss is growing by leaps and bounds. Everything is looking great.

[@carolharris2357]

I'm wondering how Brooke's chickens are doing.

[@moniquelefebvre4798]

I love the focus on the different plants and the underground life. Crucial!

[@brindlebailey]

Love watching your videos and watching the bison run. I have to say, kudos to whoever does your video editing and adding the music because it's always spot on! I love the music in your videos, and also the drone footage. The contrast between the pre-burn pictures and the post burn pictures was just incredible. 😍

[@keradee8742]

I knew that the grass would come in beautifully after the burn but I never imagined the flowers! Absolutely gorgeous! ❤The drone footage is awesome!

[@gordbolton27]

Green grass, rain, a babbling brook & Bison on the hoof! These are a few of my favorite things! Still a farm boy at heart.

[@pamelahousley7543]

Magnificent video - bison in new pasture - awesome. Thank you for sharing.

[@SandraNelson063]

Hoss checked to make sure that the gate was safe first. Everybody waited for his OK. THAT is chain of command. The cows are jealous. The bison have all the nice green grass.

[@nataliegrooman4328]

Thank you Bakers and others who are preserving these iconic animals😊

[@rhondasweeney7271]

This is awesome. Haas is gonna love that pasture . The bison are going to get fat and sassy! Thank you for sharing this wonderful journey

[@dancnluc1]

I absolutely love seeing the bison running and being introduced to the new area. Such great shots. Love the ideal of showing the plants and bugs.

[@susanvanvalkenburg4032]

I could watch the Bison do Bison things all day! 😊 you need a live camera on them!

[@KenG557]

Dusty, you rock that bison beard! 👍

[@jennifermassie7227]

[@adelacoburn1396]

Hello, How exciting to have them move into that bigger pasture with all that green🌱 . It's awesome to see them like that all together 🤎, seeing the cattle watching bison made me laugh a bit. Awesome video, as always, wishing you good things, God bless everyone 🤍

[@HeatherTudor1]

This is awesome, regenerative grazing with bison, can't get better!!

[@karendemorrow]

What a great Legacy you have left for future generations of Bison and your family. Congratulations Dusty to you and Marissa! ❤❤❤

[@coleengogerty3852]

Dusty you are doing such a phenomenal job with caring for the land and raising our extraordinary American Bison! I love when you are moving pastures and watching the bison enjoy their lives and eating great grasses. I thank God for the rains to keep their pastures green and healthy and growing!

[@CrossTimbersBison]

Thank you!

[@maryrivera8096]

They're so excited, they don't know what to munch first! 😊

[@paddlefoot5692]

Just love your mission statement for your Bison and your ranch! Great video !

[@Cricket2731]

The burn did that pasture a world of good! The match of music + moving the bison was exquisite! Thank you you for sharing!

[@catherinescotttoner1392]

The bison are in their glory! Beautiful! Via the drone they look like little beetles 🐞. Oh and Cole is pretty nifty with camera! Very talented. Great video!😊

[@ColeMeger]

Thanks @catherinescotttoner1392 I appreciate that! Glad you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed getting to help Dusty make it!

[@michelleduysings2764]

Dusty, your doing a great job! God has blessed you with taking care of HIS beautiful creations. Thank you! 🤗

[@virginiacurrey2019]

Nice rainy day for moving bison. Congrats! Another goal to check off. Texas wild flowers are lovely bringing the bee pollinators, which is so vital for our food and flowers. Amazing how they check the entire perimeter first. So proud of Hoss. Beautiful show!

[@cristinarodriguez893]

17:26 So awesome, I have a huge smile on my face but tears running down my face. It’s all excitement. Thank you for sharing. Love you all.

Dang Dusty you have made me cry over your Bison this morning!!! How in the world can I be so invested in your animals? I love how they all stay together as a family. Shows how good of a story teller you are. The happiest I think I’ve seen you!!!

[@bessiewilson1784]

Great to watch love the variety of plants growing in the pasture

[@cindiallain8542]

Great video, Dusty. I truly enjoyed watching this. Your land looks beautiful. I love what you do with the bison. Such majestic creatures to me. Thank you for the video.

[@marilynjewell9337]

Love watching them, with the joy they have for a new spot!!

[@bigfamilyaffair]

Absolutely enjoyed watching your video. You could tell how happy and excited they were to wander and explore the land before them. What a site to bestow! Thank you to you, your wife, your children, and your friends for making this video. I got teary-eyed to watch these magnificent animals roam free.

[@doloressanchez9477]

Keep on Bison Ranching ❤ love all the flowers in the pasture The Bison are majestic beast.

[@srqlisa7881]

That was thrilling to see the bison so happy. Kudos to you all. The regrowth of the flora is beautiful. I imagine that your property will be a great stop for migratory birds, that will be fun to see also. Thanks for sharing I know all of us watching are enjoying so much. Congratulations🎉🎉🎉

[@deloresrogers685]

Hi!! Love seeing the bison on your land. Keep up the hard work, you're doing grear!!

[@magn630]

OMG - cannot thank you enough for sharing this truly memorable adventure with us. Watching Hoss and his family explore their new home is a gift I will never forget. The whole video was beautiful, especially the arial shots. Loved how the next door cattle came running to meet the new neighbors - so funny. I know I will be watching this video a few more times and thanking you each time. May God keep blessing you.

[@karenbergmann209]

Great drone footage! Love watching them. And those cattle are so curious. Love the music.

Bison back on the plains and Cole filming....phenomenal!! Thanks Dusty! It's so interesting and informative and I'm learning so much on native animals, plants and husbandry. I'm loving it!

[@robinjames4334]

God bless you Dusty, Marissa and everyone involved. This is an inspiration in an uninspiring world right now. What a joy to watch you all and especially a lot of happy healthy bison 💗

[@gafairbanks2434]

So wonderful, the renewal of pasture lands and BISON! Only thing missing ... was a Native American Indian on a horse, watching this process. So glad you have recorded all. 💜

[@carlaatkins2619]

CTB is a huge blessing to the land, the animals, and the preservation of a time that was. I am overwhelmed at how far you (CTB) have flourished. I firmly believe you are God's stewards on this day and every day. Thank you for sharing this with me.

[@russellfoos5560]

Dusty, you and Marissa are the epitome of the phrase steward of the land. My hat is off to both of you for doing and caring so much for what you do. Outstanding!

It is so inspiring to see Bison roaming on your pasture. You are doing great -- you have come a long way.

[@carlaortiz1538]

It's amazing to see how different 7 months makes.

[@petgranny194]

Beautiful to see all the spring plants blooming. Amazing what a regenerative burn can do.

[@susanmckinnon4945]

This video showed so much more than your love of bison. I caught myself with a smile or a grin while watching and listening to voice and music. Saw the pride and joy in the faces of you and Melissa reach a new turning point with friends by your side. Congratulations 🎊

[@flowpop615]

Such a Peaceful feeling watching them run. Thank you both for doing what you do for them and all the Bison.

Gosh, Dusty, that's beautiful! I got cold chills watching them run! Can you imagine those hurds of hundreds in a thundering stampede back in the day?

[@kathymazey1299]

Another reason I love watching all of your videos! To be able to see the results of the beautiful field after the burn is amazing. Watching the bison running into the new pasture is so beautiful. The cows look like they want to be on the same side with all that green luscious grass! I enjoy watching you accomplish your dreams for you and your families future. Your respect for the land and the bison is wonderful. Giving the bison herds a chance to grow and thrive. What wonderful family and friends who can help you and see your vision.

One of your best vids yet, Dusty. So super that you're understanding how the bison and surrounding ecosystem works together! Blessings to you, your family, the bisons and everyone connected to this great project called CrossTimbers Bison 🙏🏼❤

[@wrinklesandsprinkles]

That was an epic music to drone sequence! Wow has that pasture changed! It was “lifeless” before and now it’s so “alive”. Congratulations Dusty, Marissa & Friends!!

[@kittykatross3896]

What a beautiful video! I enjoyed the music you put with it too. Made me feel free just like your Bison! I can see you love and care for these animals very much. Peace and love to you Dusty, Melissa and everyone who helped with this amazing transformation! Makes me proud to be First Nations! Love from Calgary, Alberta.

[@genewileyopa]

Seeing the Bison and cattle by each other made me think. Can bison and cattle breed each other? I can just see the happiness in your face Dusty. Living the dream. Thanks for sharing

[@Cricket2731]

Cattle + Bison = Beefalo.

[@genewileyopa]

@@Cricket2731 ok. Didn’t know. Thanks

[@CrossTimbersBison]

Beefalo. Yes. But we don't want that. Bad genetics.

[@cathymorasch4164]

Such a beautiful sight to see them running in the green grass! Great job!

[@lisaroberts8015]

Awesome seeing them out on new pasture❤🎉love all the education on the plants and species❤

[@stevepoland1406]

My mom always talked about watching your videos and I'm so glad she told me about it. I've always loved Plains Indian history and how much they relied of Bison for food and shelter. What you said at the end of the video was very touching about how the bison can heal the land.

[@bigmamma6946]

Very exciting and very beautiful watching the bison 🦬 running in the luscious spring growth. Cheers 🍻
