Rescued Bison Bull Goes To The Vet | Update On Lumpy!

[@hankman65]

So glad you took Lumpy to the Vet. I kind of felt bad for him because he was so anxious. When he threw himself against the trailer walls I was afraid he would rupture his hernia. But he came out fine and it's good to find out "the rest of the story" about his lump. Everyone knows that you all will take good care of him just like you do the other bison! Thanks for sharing the news in a timely manner! Take care of yourself, Dusty!

[@zabavnaya-xt8tb]

Thank you for taking care of Lumpy 👍 🙏 🥺

[@cindybeck5643]

Lumpy is as healthy as he can be considering his hernia issue. He is lucky to be with you! I'm sorry nothing can be done, but he couldn't be in a better place! I love your channel Dusty! Thank you for sharing these beautiful bison with us!

[@Rockin357]

I love it that when Lumpy got home the first thing was "where'd you go, Bud?" I love all your crew but THANK YOU for taking care of the Lumpster.

[@janiceconnett3192]

Thanks for the update on Lumpy...I hope we see more of him. You are a great teacher to all of us watching you.

[@brendafaithlanelane7914]

God Bless you all Dusty. Lumpy is still a handsome man even with his injury. He is truly blessed to have you for his dad...

[@jenniferthacker4231]

Lumpy is being loved and cared for the best you can!!! This is where he needs to be till the time comes to say goodbye. I know in my heart you'll make that decision when he's ready. Thanks for loving him!!!! 🥰🤗🥰🤗🥰

[@kathleendaugherty4218]

He is so blessed to have you looking out for him. He wouldn't have make it this far without being tuff, he is your special needs bison.

[@bsm537]

It is so kind of you to take Lumpy to the vet. The bigger the animal the bigger the bill. I'm so glad that he is part of your bison family because I know you will take good care of him and he will have a great quality of life living with you and the rest of the bison.

[@bsm537]

It's my hope that you'll have some special videos one-on-one with Lumpy like you do with Eleanor. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE THANK YOU! 💜

[@lorettarussell3235]

Amazing to see him just get into the trailer like that both times. I bet a lot of cattle farmers wished their cattle entered the trailers that easily.

[@kellystenson7800]

Lumpy will be able to live his best life on your farm, Dusty, with the best you have to take care of him.

[@lauramooney5181]

Keep us posted on Lumpy's progress. He's lucky to have you all to care for him.

We love Lumpy!! We love you too, Dusty!! Thank you for taking us along on this journey with your herd. May God continue to greatly bless you!!

[@bridgetgreene2457]

Dusty, I want to thank You for at least trying to get help for Lumpy ! As long as he is on your farm , he’s living a good life ! Let him be himself until a day comes for different measures ! He looks a lot better than when you brought him home . So he’s doing good ! God Bless You and your family for loving these animals and give them a great home ! They are beautiful creatures !

[@cwilson9636]

Aaaawa! No matter how scared Lumpy was.. he trusted you and worked with you without the super Frustration! Great job 👏 😊

[@teresaatwater672]

Thank you for caring about him. He couldn’t be in better hands. What a fantastic job of loading him. Take care!

[@carolshaw8240]

We love Lumpy and so grateful you are the ones caring for him! Keep up the great efforts.

[@julieheilman2065]

Thank you Dusty for what you did for Lumpy. He’s truly lucky to have your ranch to live the fullest. I know you will take good care of him. I bet Lumpy was happy to be home.

[@chrisrogers6950]

Dusty, God bless you for your kindness to this poor animal. You are genuinely a good hearted person. No action goes in noticed by Him. You and your family will be rewarded in ways that matter. He sent this bull to you specifically, it was no accident that you were the one who found him. God bless! Thank you for sharing your experiences with us.

[@dmelton8174]

Sometimes the best we can do for our animals that God has blessed us with is to just help them be as comfortable and happy as they can be for whatever time we're blessed to have them. Lumpy is truly blessed to be with y'all!!!

[@larryphillips6793]

Thanks for the update on Lumpy and thank you for the brief tour of Oklahoma State. I think I saw a brief glimpse of the top of Bennett Hall.....my residence during the school year 1956-57. I wish Lumpy the best......and I know he will receive great care on your farm.

[@paulinepardue678]

Thank you for making sure lumpy is taken care of.poor thing.

[@darlahartman2003]

Hi Dusty. That's the best for Lumpy is to let him live his life out at your farm. Surrounded by his own kind. I'm so happy that you are able to let him do it 😊 I truly enjoy your videos! Thanks for all you do and be safe and healthy 👍

[@ingeborgm6147]

Surgery on this huge lump is bad enough, but to consider for a bison sounds very sketchy! They are so powerful and do lots of ramming and I believe it would never work on such a huge area. Mesh also cause infections! In humans too! I think Lumpy is best off "as is". for as long as he stays happy, eats and lives a good bison life! If it weren't for Dusty I don't think there would be Lumpy. He would have gone to the happy hunting grounds long ago and we know he prefers to hang out with Big Joe and Dunbar plus the girls. The way he jumped around in that wagon ....I think he could do his thing with a bison girl and produce a little Lumpy without a lump! So Dusty....let him be and don't worry about him... :)

[@eldaremington341]

Were his ears tagged? Before he came to your ranch?

[@lindawolfe6517]

Lumpy is a warrior. So glad you had him checked out. He is in great hands with you Dusty. Thanks you for caring about The American Bison

[@victoriaknott1843]

Sending love ❤️ I have seen so many videos where the owner thinks he is a vet. Then goes ahead without seeing a vet and just stabbing any large lump. Such a breath of fresh air seeing you. Such a responsible loving owner.

[@juanamargaritarodriguezdeg3873]

Is good to see that Lumpy is being taken care.

[@davidcopperfield-notthemag397]

Nice to see Lumpy running really well. No limp today! Thank you for taking Lumpy to the vet. Much appreciated! 🦬

Whoo. He went right in. Awesome.. He turned and looked like" What was that?" So sorry he can't have surgery . He is in the best place he can be. GOD BLESS YOU , DUßTY.

I know that was tough for Lumpy, but at least you were able to confirm what Doc Parsons knew. Lumpy is in great hands, and in a wonderful home with friends for company. God bless you Dusty!

[@robertafazio3449]

So glad you had this opportunity to have Lumpy evaluated by more Vets and with great technology for verification. I can see your pride at being able to contribute a teaching moment to the students and staff at the clinic. Beautiful campus I think Lumpy enjoyed the tour! Thanks for taking us along.

[@wfs000]

Thanks for taking the time and effort for Lumpy. You have made an effort to improve his well being probably much like you would do for any of your animals. Good for you and I think it is simply a part of being a proactive farmer and rancher. Keep this up and you yourself will do well!

[@patricelegg7561]

Where else would you take your bison 🦬 on a college campus tour, Oklahoma State of course! Dusty, a teacher’s gotta teacher…you just can’t pass up an opportunity…lol Good for the veterinary students to get that rare chance to examine an injured bison 🦬 up close and personal, it only enhances their knowledge of the bison.. hopefully another Doc Parsons will emerge thanks to you, god bless…

You're the type of rancher that is commended. You love and care for each animal under your care. You've named them, that says quite a bit. I raise goats, each has a name and they are talked to everyday just like your bison.

[@joyday9020]

Lumpy is blessed and he has you to take care of him. Lumpy still has a lot of time with your care, just take it one day at the time. I know it's hard to find out that having the repair done could make matters worse instead of better. Prayers for you and the buffalo who have always been such a huge part of our country's history.😊❤

[@moevemoe63]

It was great you got Lumpy checked out and know for sure it is best not to so the surgery for him. It puts your mind and everyone at ease that he'll be fine as long as you said he's still eating and thriving. Certainly was a learning/teaching moment for all the students at your old school. 😀 They got a nice treat/experience to see a bison and learn from it and possibly have some comparison / differences with cattle and bison. You are doing a great job with Lumpy and all the bison you have on the farm.

[@deborahbaker3829]

What a wonderful, kind man you are, Dusty. Your videos are very interesting and contain great teachable moments. No doubt your students miss you but that's your viewers' gain. It's also a blessing to see a Godly man do what The Lord commanded...have dominion over the earth. Your care of His creation has to please Him. Thank you for sharing your life snd your herd with us.

[@ashleyruma9591]

Lumpy has a good home, a good life and a good chance for a some more time with his Bison Buds. You already “saved” him and everyday he has now is a gift. Glad the students got to see him. Sorry he can’t be helped further.

[@stevendavid5370]

It was gracious of you to explore all possibilities to heal "Lumpy" of his hernia. Spending the time and resources to get another opinion was precious for Lumpy. It is too bad that the negatives out weighs Lumpy getting better. But you know now and knowledge of that fact is important to what is best for Lumpy. He is in great place and you will care for him, because you care about him and the rest of your herd. He's happy being with you, with the herd, and he's comfortable with his surroundings. So, I'll raise my glass and give Lumpy a toast for him to have a long life at your ranch - Cross Timbers Bison. Here, Here!!
