I'm a 73 year young Great Grandmother who was born on a cattle farm in 1950 (Tennessee). I watch you and Marissa as an antidote for the troubling daily news in the world. Knowing the never ending hard work ranching requires, I respect you both.so much as ranchers, parents, and loving partners. It restores my faith that there are still young men and women with integrity, compassion, and kindness in an self entitled generation. Thank you for the hours of laughter, tears, and fond memories of the ranch you have given me! I wish my Father and Grandfather could "come back" to visit your ranch for just one day! I don't know if their minds could comprehend the innovations since the time they ran a very successful operation! ✨✨God bless and protect your precious family and "the work of your hands"✨✨

I agree with Marissa, paint those darts a hot or neon pink. Hope the meds work fast for Dunbar and his eye gets better soon.

Paint might keep them from going through the barrel. Maybe there are darts already factory-colored.

@@jugheadjones5458 Yes, and even if it did go through, it would likely leave a bit of paint inside the barrel each time, which could restrict future shots.

No matter how many videos I watch I'm amazed how much trust these bison have towards Dusty and his family. It is so beautiful. Praying for Dunbar.

The dart gun is an excellant solution for medicating animals with minimal stress. In some cases inlarge herds of cattle on free range or remote summer grazes, they are even used to administer routine vaccinations in young animals. As a retired large animal veteriarian, I have a few bits of advice: #1 Inflamation in the eye tends to appear as cloudiness ranging to complete opacity. In other tissues it might be more like redness or even bruising while in the eye white. The second thing in using darts. I've found that using a bit of petroleum jelly on the end of the needle keeps medication from potentiially leaking before administering and does not interfere with absorbtion of any medication. Good luck. as

Thanks for the Dunbar update! ❤ He's all our baby. I had a dog that a cat had punctured his eye. Our vet gave him an antibiotic shot and he had no lasting repercussions.

yes, animals are capable of amazing healing from bad injuriy. I had a cat that got in a fight and came home with one eyeball hanging outof the socket. i washed, ie flooded the eye, actualy both eyes.. liberally with boric acid eyewash, There was no way I could put a a dressing that would stay on over the eye. The cat was a barn cat.... and went off to to find a comfortable spot , as cats do.Next day the eye was back in place, with a little clear drainage...I kept up the eyewash for a few more days, until the eye looked healed,like nothing had happened... IDK what the cat did or did not do to put the eyeball back in place.. I was afraid of doing more harm than good if I tried to handle the eyeball. .

We all do! I think everyone worries about your livestock even though they aren’t pets and tough decisions have to be made - it is a business. Sometimes folks don’t realize that you can’t treat them like you would your horse, or your dog or cat. Even though you do get attached to some degree - they are a financial business and you can’t put more in them than you will get back out of them. Well, unless you are independently wealthy and they are just a hobby. But there are lot better and easier hobbies. Hope his eye is all will now and it didn’t turn out I don’t get out here as much as I would like. Best of luck.

Hope Dunbar recovers quickly. Praying for rain for everyone affected by this drought. God’s blessings

Hello Dusty, In your video you said that you thought Dunbar wasn't too happy with you. Judging from the angles I saw in the video, he was NOT looking at you when you fired. So I doubt he associates the dart discomfort with you. He'll still love you in the morning!!!

Thank you for the update on Dunbars eyes. I hope the antibotics work and his eye heals good.thank you for your amazing care you and marissa give tothese beautiful American Bisonon your Ponderosa Ranch. You guys are amazing.❤

Poor Dunbar, he's been through the wringer this year

Dunbar is having a very "eventful" summer. Poor guy. Dusty it so good to see how much you love and care for these majestic animals. All the best to you and the bison. Poor Dunbar 2 giant bee stings in one day.

Poor Dunbar. But I'm glad he was able to get his medicine.

@CrossTimbersBison For future reference maybe you should paint the dart in super bright/neon orange or some other visible color in advance. This way it will be easier to located the dart. Of course, if the dart would hold the paint.

Praying Dunbar will have a speedy recovery. Enjoyed the video. 😀

Poor Dunbar 😮. Rough summer! Feel better in that eye big guy!

Dusty, you might pick up one of those magnets with a handle. It might help you to retrieve the needle more easily. Something you could carry around with you in your little vehicle there.

Never a dull moment! Raising bison is not for the faint of heart. 😊 I love the excellent care you give your animals.

Good job getting that into Dunbar! Some antibiotics burn like the dickens (or as we say in Boston-ese, "hurt wicked bad") when they're injected, so that must be what he was reacting to. Antibiotics usually go into a muscle, or intravenous. Subcutaneous (the fatty area) would be for other types of medications for slower adsorption. If a piece of brightly colored duct tape could be placed around the end of the syringe reservoir, it might be easier to find in the grass. You wouldn't want it to interfere with the propel speed from the gun because of resistance, though. Love watching your channel!

Your wife is a great team player getting that shot!

Awww Dunbar ❤ Hoping he gets better soon!

Awww poor Dunbar 😢I hope his eye gets better!

With the pump action sounding like the pump fly spray, lucky he didn't leave based on sound 😅 he is a smart man now.

Literally looking for a needle in the hay 😂 - but those bison really know you care for them. They know to get close enough to you for you to check on their health and safety. Of course the cube training made all the difference- but still one can sense a companionable trusting in their eyes .
