Here it is! Largest working of our bison at the Ponderosa! Let us know what you think!? Thank you for watching us! Thanks for all the help we had from all of our friends and family! Thanks to Cole for filming and co-editing. megermedia.com/

I love how you give Eleanor her own spot on the "To Do" list. I didn't realize her vision was an issue but it explains a lot. She's lucky to have you ❤

I speak for a lot of people. We are so glad that you treated Eleanor very specially. We are also glad you got Dunbar and the other bull out and away from Big Joe. Time went by so fast! Thanks for sharing! 😊

Thank you for taking your time and patience with Eleanor, she is special. You show a lot of compassion.

Yay Mark, Jerry and Kevin! Dusty and Marissa thanks for loving Princess Eleanor. She is precious. Dunbar and Hoss were so calm. Good job working with all the bison Dusty. You are so blessed to have such great friends. Speaks volumes about the man you are. I love watching the bison be worked. When Hoss & Dunbar were coming down the lane they looked like dancing partners. Hoss wanted Dunbar to go first.

That horse made the difference! What a cool calm dude he is!

I love the way you watch the bison, but you always have eyes on your family and the pets. When you told your wife to back up then ran over to her. You all are a blessing.

Eleanor is your special one. She and Dunbar could almost be video of working by themselves. They are your independent thinkers. Things never go as smoothly as we want.

I always have to postpone watching your videos when they pop up! Why? I have to go make a fresh cup of Joe to enhance my viewing pleasure!! This time I made it in under 9 minutes! I'm curled up, coffee at hand, and ready for the adventure! 🎄Merry Christmas Everyone🎄. 🎀Your Nashville, Tennessee Great Grandma Biggest Fan

Every season seems to bring new challenges as your herd grows. Enjoyed watching, as always.

Must admit held my breath when Dunbar..Big Joe and Hoss were kinda together..but Marc and the beautiful Mose sorted it out..love Elinor . Didn't know about her poor eyesight. She is indeed a special lady. Looking forward to part 2. 🇬🇧💞🙏✝️👏👍🦬🦬🦬🦬🦌🎁🎄🎅🐎🇺🇸

I love how you take such good care of Eleanor, so patient with her, she’s definitely a very special girl, or should I say, your Princess!🥰 Marissa is getting it done not letting Hoss get by her😂 Hoss knows she’s the boss😂I’m glad you do things safely! Each time you learn something new!

Dusty had to be careful; he was wearing a microphone. It made it a more exciting video. The lighting was perfect. That sunset was giving the Bison a beautiful gold colour.

Hi Dusty, Marissa and all the people helping with the bison. Didn't go as planned but yall got it done. Love watching yall working with the bison. God bless and love yall ❤❤

I can't wait for the next video! All that greatness shouldn't be shared in one video! Lol! I love how much care you give to sweet Eleanor.

Sweet Eleanor is special to us too. We love her and glad you treat her special. Thank you. Having all three bulls in one pen is scary.

You got a great team of friends with you, Dusty and Marissa. I am impressed. Doc Parsons a treasure. Hoss just cracks me up every time.

It is wonderful that you have friends and family that are willing to help you ! Can you imagine trying to do this on your own ?? 🤦🏼‍♀️ sweet lil Eleanor❤ you can tell you absolutely love her 😊❤ need lots of prayers when the 3 boys are together!! Boy ! Marissa sure was brave there ! Blessings to the whole crew ❤

Dude, that hat suits you right down to the ground. I don't think very many people could pull it off, but it's you. I've noticed it in a few videos now. Working the bison is always exciting.

Love Eleanor, she is indeed special, so glad you make concessions for her and work to make things easier for her. Hope you always keep her or make certain she gets a forever loving home.

I love the fact that you know Eleanor is extra special and how you work her separately. I am glad you got Dunbar and Hoss worked quickly and kept away from Big Joe. Time flies when your having fun. 😉 With the herd getting bigger, I know that makes it a bigger challenge. I look forward to part 2.

Love how you give the Princess so much love and care! She is one special girl.

Wow thats the best ive seen Dunbar being calm since i have been watching your channel...these Bison fascinate me x

I love that Eleanor is so special and I believe she knows too. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family

P.S. I noticed you made a great point to identify each bison as they were in the chute. That's super! Love that.

Holy cow, Dusty! That was....well! Observations: 1. the race setup at the O.G. works so well, where this one has many distractions. There's all covered chute walls, at the OG, less distraction; the race is narrower at the O.G. Not much room for them to corall and turn around. 2. It seemed like there were too many new elements happening, and new helpers; a real lot was going on, and it made it stressful and chaotic, which stressed the animals out. 3. That many animals should be sub-divided the night before so y' all know who-what-where has already been set up. Reduce your variables. And 4., not sure how to address this, but the newer folks helping out, I think there was a higher percentage of newbies to veteran CTBers. That was rough. And communications seemed hampered by all the noise. That hydrolic squeeze is noisy, and the skid steer running around was noisy, too. Kind of feels like y'all went two steps back, in the progress of working these guys. I hope the next half went better for you. A good break and a night off works wonders. Will watch for it, Dusty! I know you try so hard to make it work right. Marisa is really getting more courageous with the animals. I was impressed by her. 😊

Thank you inviting me to the party 😊👍 Well done! Teamwork 👏

Mose is one gorgeous horse❤. Love watching these! Lots of work!

I love watching working the Bison. It's so intense. Cole, you make it that much more interesting. Thanks so much for taking us allowing.

Was watching Dances with Wolves but had to switch when I got my notification. 🤷‍♀️

I'm enjoying Coffee and watching your videos. I love your bison farm video. It makes me remember the time when I was still raising cattle.

Everyone loves Eleanor. So sad about her vision. Makes sense why she stay separated from the herd.

Our Sweet Princess Eleanor is Special. Now knowing her vision is bad, Shes even more Special. Please always watch out for her and take extra special care of Our Princess! We all love her so much! She knows you love her Dusty and She loves you back! Shes so smart and has it all figured out. Happy you got Dunbar n Hoss worked and away from Big Joe! No worries there now! Dunbar has dropped alot of weight the past couple of years! The drought sure didn't help either but all that breeding took a till on him. He needs to be fattened back up! I remember how big he was a couple years or so ago weighing in at 1800+ pounds! He needs to gain about 500 lbs just to catch up a little. How much did Hoss weigh? I didn't hear his weight. He and Dunbar are about the same size looking at them. Pin him up and feed him good along with more dewormer! Looking forward to the next Video! Thank you Doc and Everyone for all your Help with the Bison! God Bless. 🙏❤👏🇺🇸

WoW Dusty high adrenaline and stress levels in this video, it can’t be easy for you having to look out for the people who are helping and taking care of your beautiful bison, and Princess Eleanor certainly is special, and all of that machinery is very impressive too, stay safe everyone, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧

Another great video. Love how you give compassion to Eleanor. I don't think a lot of people realize how much work it is when working with animals. You have many great friends to help with undertaking, making sure humans and animals stay safe and getting the job done. Will be waiting for next video.

You've got great people around you. Trust is always the best way to go. It was great to see Mark and his wonderful horse Mose 🐎. Handsome animal. 🎶💐💖

Life on the farm is always unexpected adventures. You've got this.

Come on, Eleanor, you can do it

So nice you took care of Eleanor first. Love watching you work your bison 🦬. Looking forward to part 2.

It was fun to watch if not a little hectic! Certainly a learning curve. Looking forwards to Part 2. . . .

WOW!!! these animals are amazing! Y'all such an amazing job Dusty Merissa isn't afraid of anything she's such an amazing helper thanks for sharing... can't wait to see the rest be worked

I have spent a life time working sheep, cattle. red deer, elk and himilayan tahr and to see you releasing animals from the crush into the service area shocked me. Then I see a lass with a rug rat in the possible danger zone, what the hell were you and Doc thinking Dusty. What if that bull had paniced and got passed Marrisa at that pinch point in the exit race. Does not bare thinking about!!! I am 71 years old and feel blessed to still be here, even with a body sporting injuries to numerous to count and the pain and medication that goes with it. Mostly from accident and failing to identify obvious dangerous situations, so I feel I'm in a good position to comment. Safety, Safety, Safety!!! On a lighter note, the stetson is a good look and is starting to create a character look worthy of your operation. Keep it humble.

Wow! I LOVE that cyan colored shirt that man on the horse was wearing 😍 its like my favorite blue lol 😆 💙

Glad Y'all got the bison worked for another season. Great job by all. GOD BLESS Y'ALL.

I love watching these roundups. I would love to be in the kitchen in the barn, cooking for your "army". I could have Brooks in with me and put her to work...buttering bread, putting out the plates, silverware and napkins. Help get the drinks ready. She's a special little girl. I'd live to get to know her.

Wow ! That is such a big operation , to work all of the bison at once. Dusty ,you are very wise when it comes to safety. And another day of working the bison is better for all involved. Thank you for sharing !

Dusty, Marissa, Brooks, Kevin, Doc, Cole and everyone else Thank you so much for taking care of all the Bison. I've watched your channel from the start and loved watching every part of it grow into where you are today. Great job by all in working the heard because even if everything doesn't go as planned the well being of the bison and everyone involved never took a back seat to keeping every animal and person safe. Hope everyone has an awesome Christmas and New Years both at the ranch and all the viewer's that watch your channel. Can't wait to see what 2024 brings for all of you.By the way, what is Hoss's weight up to? He's getting so big.

Practice makes perfect in every year you get better

Thanks for the education.modern ranching is so different from my grandpa and his horse days.

Love your videos and enjoy watching them. May the lord bless and protect you and your family and the bison and working with the bison

It was great to see the compassion you have for Eleanor ❤ am a newer watcher of your videos and can see how you and your wife and friends care about your animals.

Just a suggestion, maybe you should take this time to make a checklist of things you need when you work them. I do checklists for everything I don't do every day. It really helps.

It is much more stressful to have a large herd to manipulate into more manageable groups for working. And it takes longer. You, Marisa and the team took it all in stride. Y’all the BEST!!

Maybe we need this process on the southern boarder! Fences, gates & horseman, lol!

I'm always excited to see you working these awesome animals. I can't wait to see the rest of the story.

I can see how much you have improved working the bison, So nice to have great help. Looking forward to seeing more on the next video. Love hearing of the Canadian bison. Watching from BC Canada🇨🇦

Dusty I think you do a great job. You're not the only one that has this happen. It happens to a lot of people that are working livestock of any kind. Just the way it goes when you're trying to get it done.

So glad to see Mark and Moss back..Can hardly wait for the next video.

Watching your videos is always worth it. Incredible work you and your team do together when working your herds. Bison are so magnificent! ❤❤

Hello Dusty, Marisa and All the Fantastic People helping I love the Missy Eleanor, who is often last to accommodate Her Princess-ness ❤ - was first this time. Having eyesight issues explains a lot about her. Marisa is amazing. Pushing Hoss… You’ve changed things up over the last year. This is the first time you’ve had the Herd of 40 that needed to be be broken up into small groups. The first time with a horse (Hi Mose & Mark!) The first time with little, little red dogs. Lots of firsts. It was very exciting! Blessings of Abundance, Safety and Peace ❤ ~Linda

I love Eleanor. So enjoy love watching the bison

the photogaphy is stunning ,best i have ever seen on utube . the narration was informative and entertaining . thanks folks !

Great job Cole filming great

Gotta love the Princess! 😊 To bad things didn’t go a smoothly this time… things will get better! 🙃

Oh Mercy😢 Poor Princess Eleanor is losing her eyesight? How on earth,Prayers Princess Eleanor! Extra Care,and Cubes for you! Her weight was only 690? No wonder Nora is such a little runt,she's just like her Momma!😊😘🙏🦬💜 The Boys Were All Together? Oh No! Angels among you on the Ponderosa!🙏🦬💜 Great drone footage Cole Meger ☺️🎥 First time working so many, you're working well together! 🙏🦬💜 Yeah it was getting dark, glad you made the call to quit for the day. See you on the next video! Loving Cross Timbers Bison!☺️🙏🦬🎥🌸💜

The bison seem more calm this year in the pens, holding shoots, downtown the final let go. This has to be because of your interaction with them seeing you all the time and feeding cubes. I liked watching the video of the drone footage; seeing them from above let's us see from a whole new perspective. Loved seeing Marc and Mose work as a team. Awesome. All of your crew are awesome and it reflects the comradity/friendship everyone has to get each job done in the most effective, fastest, and safest way with as little stress on the bison and the crew. WAY TO GO CREW!!! Looking forward to the next video! Dusty, you are a good manager who cares greatly for your herd and family.🦬👨‍👩‍👧 Have very Merry Christmas 🎅🤶

Love watching your videos. You all doing amazing work with these awesome bison. God bless

Eleanor got to be first instead of last! That’s great. Sooo glad the boys didn’t get together face to face. Pretty sure that Big Joe would have stood his ground and perhaps gave them a little scare. Thank goodness we didn’t have to find out the hard way! Tough day but it will get better! See ya on the next video!

Life happens. Good on ya Dusty for keeping the safety of your people and the critters job one. Good to see the princess got worked .

Smile for Eleanor! Thanks for sharing! So excitng!!

Wow this was huge operation and a large crew. A really exciting video. Looking forward to part 2. 👍❤️

I watch these bison working videos super enthralled.

Love Eleanor- she is special.

Oh poor Eleanor So glad she with you Dusty.she just cant get a break .at least she has a good life with use .

Your system has improved so much since the first time when you started

That's a lot of work !

That was fun. Love to sweet Eleanor. 👏💞🌺✌️🙏🐾🐾🌻🇱🇷

Dusty, your use of the words 'dingdongs', had me spitting my coffee right across the room. 🤣🤣🤣

Eleanor is the princess ... gotta love her. Another good video.

Nice job on working Eleanor and the other bison like Dunbar and hoss

You guys did an amazing job with the herd. Love Eleanor, she is a special girl and I know she feels the love and care you show her. I think all the animals know that too. Looking forward to seeing the next video. Awesome guys.

I always love watching your videos! You are my favorite KZfaq channel. ❤ I started watching you and your bison before you got Big Joe and his couple of cows (Kitt and, now I forget who Big Joe came with, was it Belle Starr?) - it was just Dunbar and 4 or 5 cows. You and Cross Timbers Bison have come so far!! I love how much you care about your bison. You have a beautiful herd! Thank you so much for sharing with us. Oh, and thank you for continuing that special treatment of Eleanor. She is one special bison cow!!! Much love and respect for you! ❤️🦬❤🦬❤️🦬❤️

Great filming!! Overhead is very helpful!!

Love Elinor

You all did an awesome job working the bison

You all did a great job Excellent. God Bless to you all Love the bison 🦬 🙏 ❤️

WOW. You always do a great job of keeping everyone safe.

That’s a big job. I was tense just watching. Can’t wait to see Part 2.

I wish I was there watching, I worked sheep one summer with my son, he was helping a friend and he asked me if I wanted to come up and help. I jumped right on it being the farm girl I was raised to be, I had a blast. I was so happy he invited me. He was in college and I didn't get to see him very often so it gave us a chance to experience it together, of course he knew I would love it having to do with animals. LOL, I LOVE ALMOST ALL ANIMALS.

YIKES! Thank you

That was exciting!! The three bulls together and then our sweet Eleanor. If we could I’m sure she would get big hugs from so many of us. So glad you have some many fantastic people that help with this. In the end at least of this video things did smooth out some. Can’t wait for the second part to be put up on KZfaq.

Love watching! Thanks for sharing!

They are just so beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤❤

So happy the Eleanor went by herself. She's a beautiful bison. Glad the boys got separated. good job.

Great job guys. Stay safe

Hope everything goes smoothly 🙏

Thanks, getting exciting. ✌🏻👊🏼

Saw Brooks watching from the concrete patio.

Eleanor, my favorite!

Ready for Part 2!
