Beautiful creatures, Beautiful story. The first bison I saw was when I was a little boy, my uncle managed a stock yard in Oskaloosa, Iowa, they had just received three railroad car loads and was mesmerized watching them by the way I am 89 now will never forget

The detail into the rotation and grasses... all of it was great!

I eat the grass-fed bison, and feel very good about it. I have tried to eat organic as much as possible. Bison is more tender than beef and has a better lipid profile, and I prefer the more mild flavor too. It is nice to know that it helps to maintain family farming too.

Such a good video. The drawings of the paddocks and explanations of rotation, water system, everything. Very interesting.

Awesome upload! I will be using some facts from this video on my next video about bison. I'll make sure to give you credit!

I love it when families thrive.

Excellent work by the NRCS crew too

Nice to see, The roaming bison is what made the Midwest the rich agricultural meca is was, and their dried dung provided the settlers fire wood, as there were few trees..

Beautiful animals.

Been buffalo for 500 years and we’re organic then and now.

Great video thanks for sharing!

Inspiring video and work. Thanks.

Another can-do story. Great stuff.

Some people put chickens in the paddock when the big grazers leave.

This was a great video. Very detailed. I'm interested in cattle farming in South Africa. So I loved how very detailed this was. And how to use available resources. 🙌

Very inspiring!

Exciting!! I love the Bison 🦬 that visits during the Chili Open on Lake Minnetonka I'm Wayzata

Brilliant story and really interesting, I've never seen Bison and had zero knowledge of their grazing habits etc. Many thanks

Very interesting . Such a magnificent animal.

God video I’m trying to learn more about this amazing animal thinking to start raising here in East Texas.

Inspiring story

What size bison herd and how many acres do you recommend to start? I've heard 12 head minimum and 50 acres. And do you think you could start by rendting vs owning the land?

3:13 Wow, that's a big bull! I'm guessing that it's the 7 year old one.

Beautiful Organic Bison! I'm very interested in your story. Could you post a link to where I could read about Non Organic Bison to compare them with Organic Bison please?

This was an amazing video. Those are absolutely beautiful animals. They look very content. One of these days, I wanna go into this business.

Great reporting..can I ask if and if so what do you Vax your bisons with

You need a lot of land to raise these guys like that. good stuff! 👏👏

I have one question for any bison operation before I consider buying from them: Do you round up the yearling bulls and sell them to feed lot operators? All the lush prairie scenes mean nothing if they do. Grass fed means nothing if the last months of the animal are spent penned up - up to their ankles in manure, being fed corn.

This will heal the land

Not a word mentioned about regenerative agriculture but that's what they're doing, with local government support, so regenerative agriculture has gone totally mainstream in the US and with central government encouragement it could be the dominant mode of practise for US agriculture sucking vast amounts of atmospheric CO2 into the soil as the soil comes back to life improving fertility and water retention while also resisting soil erosion, it's a no brainer must do solution that should be the policy for agriculture everywhere.

Sherburn National Wildlife refuge is closed to people every summer. They bring in cattle during this time to graze different areas each year to represent Bison. Not sure why they don't just bring in actual bison? I assume it is safety for when people are in there. Yellowstone does it.

I am starting to study grass, so i can feed trees with constant grass as green manure

I'd love to know of you buy hay, or if you just use your own hay?

Dig it!

At 2k lbs , they're eating 50 lbs a day. That's a lot of grass

Organic Bison? Like wild bison or you made them from other real bison?

How did wild bison survive in the winters of the1800s & earlier without (human provided) hay?

Bison is better then beef to me, have eaten grass fed Buffalo. A bit pricey compared to beef , but after eating it I love it. Also it's so much healthier to eat then beef, but I still love a good aged steak.

and after he retired!

Lets open up the great plains from canada to texas and bring back the great herds of buffalo,

Organic Bison ??? What are your inorganic bison made from??

Are they raising them for meat ?

interesting. it was a system that was messed up by the greed of people and wanting to rid we Natives. the bison was an intricate part of the ecosystem. they are slowly coming back. :)

Can we come up with a longer title, I can only understand complicated: more words with lots of letters please. Ok I've complained enough, I do love to see bison period. Thanks for the vid.

run those chickens through the paddocks after the bison, then bring in goats. rinse repeat

Come here chicken chick chick chicchick

rubber tire water....? blecchh

Man, he keeps his animals in the pasture too long. A herd size that big, you need to be rotating them twice a day if possible, that way you leave more trampled grass out there, rather than almost grazing it down to bare soil. It’s either that or come the winter months, you’ll have to buy a ton of Hay just to keep your animals fed. Bison are made to move anyway, so the more you can move them, the better results you’ll see with the Land. I’m not a know it all, nor do I claim to be, I just had to put in my two cents.

Our wonderful government allows meat to be advertised as "grass fed" on beef that has spent the majority of its life in CAFOs. The cow ate grass for a very short time then consumed corn for its short life before it was ready to die from acidosis, yummy. This gentleman doesnt have to get certified by anybody and pay their stupid fees. Go to his ranch/farm and its obvious he has to keep the animals much longer since they eat natural food and not pure carbs which will kill a ruminant. I buy a beef from a central-Oregon company that raises their animals the same way, it costs more but so what, and not that much more. Most people dont care though which is why they support the processed food companies and eat poison their whole lives. Have a nice day.

Muito bom pasto maravilhoso!!!se separarem 12 fêmeas com um macho,eles não perderam tempo brigando e todas as fêmeas serão cobertas,escolher regiões com pastos bons e sem plantações onde possam atacar,e colocar em todos os Estados unidos com grupos cuidando e preservando para que se precisarem terão e da forma que falei eles procriarão e vão pegando os filhotes melhores mais deixando alguns.criem formas deles não atacarem plantações,caçar todo javali,os ursos grandes começar a alimentar eles com frutas e mel,deixem as frutinhas que mais gostam em recipientes e comecem a plantar nos lugares onde vivem os teste e vejam quais mais gostam,quando for nascendo filhotes vão domesticando e acostumando com frutas,plantem muitos pés de frutas,onde vivem,os mais agressivos vendam para zoológicos bons que não maltratam seus animais,limpem pântanos, e item de rios e lagos jacarés e crocodilos todos criem fazendas e os coloque não deixe nenhum na natureza,povoem com peixes,descubram se os outros animais selvagens que possuem gostam de frutas,e comecem a ver quais isto, com linces,lobos,ou las,se descobrirem que gostam plantem essas arvores nos habitats dele mini arvores.cortem arvores que não dão frutos de suas calçadas vendam ou utilizem a madeira,plantem mini arvores frutíferas,ponham no soltao uma caixa d'água criatorio de peixes e se quiserem no porão também.onde teve aparecimento de caranguejo ferradura,plantem bastante neste lugar,reforcem a segurança ,tenham alimentos armazenados.

They are not a _wild animal_ if you have them penned up and selectively breed them for food. That's the very definition of a domesticated animal.

wow how heartwarming. the multi billion petrochemical industry and the pharmaceutical ones too hates your way of doing things, if this trend takes hold they will lose billions. well peo

There is no such word as organic.

There are no _inorganic_ bison.

I would hate to be grazed by an inorganic bison.

As opposed to "inorganic bison" which would be made of...aluminum, I guess?

Organic bison????? Are there inorganic bison, like robots.

I wouldn't pay two cents for anything organic and I'd druther eat beef I've tried buffalo a half a dozen times and I'm not impressed with it just don't care for the flavor of it

christ. all bison are organic. all life is organic.
