How great it must be to have your bison come up to you and let you scratch him on the nose. The love you have for your animals and the dedication of your hard work shines through.

Dusty, It has been such an adventure to follow along and watch your dreams of building a herd,of these Majestic animals. come true. I remember you telling us that Bison are survivors of the last ice age. in N America.. It conjured up a vision of the herds, with their little red dogs, grazing on the praires, with a towering wall of ice in the distance. I am looking forward to seeing the turkey eggs hatch and grow. That is a worthy project! The Wild Turkey was once considered a candidate for the National Bird. You are doing your part to save them and preserve our Heritage of native. species.. ❤

Do you ever get twins? I know if a cow has twins and one is a heifer, she will be sterile. Just curious if bison are the same.

@@bonnieisabelle3641 Hi, Bonnieisabelle,pretty name. I recall Dusty being asked about Bison twins, but I don’t recall what he said. I have the impression that it is very rare if it happens at all. . i do know that horses have twins. I , also have heard that about cattle having a sterile heifer twin. I have read many histories and biographies about the Native American tribes. and their great Chiefs and Holy men. They regarded the Bison as sacred animals, especially the White Buffalo.

Dusty, 😱 5 yrs already .. congratulations 👏👏 Thank you for bringing us along on your journey raising these majestic (freight trains😂) animals. The trust and respect you both have built to be able scratch his nose 👍 with their coats they carry with them I'd bet they're hot at 95*

Wow that is so Great to see all the Red Dogs. You've got a Great looking hurd of Bison . your doing awesome job 👍👍👍👍 PS I'VE been a big fan of yours from the first five . I remember the first time we saw Brookes she was so little,👍👍👍

It’s been an honor for us! Thank you Dusty, Marisa and sweet Brooke🙏❤️

You were on vacation so they thought they would make their own vacation spot under the cool shade of the trees.

It's cute seeing the calves "learn the ropes" when it comes to dust baths & water soaks.

Congratulations on 5 years, so glad you started the channel, I enjoy it so much.

Congratulations Dusty &Marissa on 5 years

Bison and red dogs are taking it easy and grazing enjoying the nice weather

Thank you Dusty, Marissa, Brooks and Mia for giving us 5 years and for bringing us along with you on your wonderful bison ranchin! And the new chapter with the wild turkeys. Good luck

Did you say it was 95F?! No wonder the Bison wants to go dip their toes! :) I love turkeys - we live within city limits and get some "wild" turkeys visiting every day - one had a badly hurt leg, so she stays mostly in our yard, getting fed and watered and having a safe place. She is now fully mended, and she knows my voice, she will come running when called. (So maybe not that wild anymore) - sweet animals. Scared of the squirrels though lol.

Dusty and Marissa love your videos and enjoy watching them. May the lord bless and protect you and your family and the bison and other animals and checking the herd of Buffalo

This old Marine loves watching you kids…you are the salt of the earth and those who live off the land are doing God’s work!!🙏 Keep up your site as you bring so much joy to more than you will ever know. 👏👏👍👍😎🇺🇸

I can’t believe it’s been 5 years! I remember the 1st episode, baby Dusty all nervous 😂😂 to now, my husband telling me “we are NOT putting a bison in our backyard”. 😂❤

Looks like the herd is doing well so far. I love what you're doing for the 🦃s. Most ppl hunt, I love that you're trying to keep the balance with wildlife 👏👏👏❤️ much love from Calgary Alberta

Congratulations on five years with your family coming to all of us . We truly appreciate you guys sharing your story with us. Thank you! ❤️🤍💙

Dusty, I am originally from Vermont. Grew up there and had a neighbor who raised the domestic white turkeys just behind his small cottage and his 30 acres of apple orchard. After he passed, the State of Vermont got a grant to raise wild turkeys, starting with 12 pairs of Tom and Hen. That action took place in the 1960's and from that point, most States use wild pairs that have a connection to this wild idea started when I grew up. Best place for seed and crop food for turkeys. He sold apples, turkeys and honey and today, the State of Vermont expanded this project. In the 2000's , they introduced wild pairs of Pheasents and like Turkeys, it also was a perfect habitat for growth in the Orchard.

( ? "Feathers 'n' Fur " ?) Loved this Post ! Thanks to you Both ! When the Bison begin to shed in the spring, The turkeys can use the "Fur " to soften the nests for their eggs ! ( and for the American "gourmand " - "Barbecued Bison 'n' Bird " ... a new menu for the traditional True American Thanksgiving Feast ! ) What a concept !

That's a really neat way to pack and ship eggs. Hoping for lots of hatchlings!

The little red dog taking a dust bath was soooo adorable. Can you get more Rio Grand? And which is the more commonly, naturally found subspeicies, Rio Grand orEastern?

Two days in a row all i could think to say is, "How cool!" All the best of success on the new turkeys and the rescued Bison.

I still remember when Daniel at Arm's Family Homestead was tryin to talk you into starting y'alls channel. I'm so glad y'all did . God Bless y'all 💯 ❤ 🙏 🇺🇲 🦬

Dusty, it is a great thing that you and your family are doing. Working to bring back animals before they are extinction.

The little one that was taking a dust bath was the cutest❤❤❤ Congratulations Dusty on 5 years🎉🎉🎉

I love being a subscriber to your channel! It is a pleasure to follow you and your endeavors. I consider being with you on your journey to be a great privilege and honor. Thank you so very much.

Happy to sit with you and the family today…peace…

I love this channel. The care of the land working with nature to preserve the Bison. All the expansion with horses, chickens, now turkeys. Still working with nature and ranching it.

I have learned right along with the rest of your Baker family since 2018, too. I enjoy your videos in my retirement. Thank you all to The Baker Clan & Friends!!!

Such a great idea, you need to get your brother in law to join in the process. I love seeing the Bison come up to you and love to get their noses scratched. Thank you Dusty, Marissa, and Brooks.❤️❤️

95 degrees is quite warm! I would also be in the water 👊😁❤️

Love hearing the birds singing in the woods. Absolutely beautiful. ❤

Congratulations on five years on KZread!!!! Here's to many more !!

Dusty a group of turkeys is called a rafter.

Thank you Dusty Family and Friends. Love these videos. Five years and counting.

Big fun to see the bison hanging out at "Club Red." Turkey eggs are impressive! Is there a higher count of predators in the area? Or could the turkey population have diminished due to multiple drought years? Fun projects! 'Glad your family had a nice vacation. Y'all deserve it. Please update us on your Mom.

Loved your videos for the last three years since I found it! Love learning about the bison, life in oaklahoma and now the turkey project! Good luck with it! Keep educating an enlightening us all.

Been with you from the start. Amazing growth over the years. Love how you’ve educated us. Love the new project! Keep up the awesome work!!

That little red dog "rollin" in the dirt acting all big!!!☺

And-thank you both for sharing what you know-& what you’re learning-which educates so many viewers like me🤗 on so many topics above & beyond the majestic bison!! Kudos to you all!! Much I appreciation!!

I just love it when you hang out with the bison.

Oklahoma Wood Bison - new subspecies discovered..

I wish you both the best becoming turkey parents. God Bless.

l have been with this channel since 2018 and i am in my 80's......Thanks Dusty and your awesome family....l pray for y'all every day 🙏🙏🙏...... Old F-4 Phantom ll fighter jet pilot Shoe🇺🇸

Hi Dusty, Marissa and Brooks. Love watching your videos. Bison are so magnificent and you have great respect for them. They are just chilling at the creek in the woods. Love the Red Dogs. Yall are growing with leaps and bounds. God bless and love yall ❤❤

I don't often comment, but I started watching your channel from almost the start. I eagerly look forward to each new episode of your fascinating journey of raising the amazing Bison...as well as the raising of Brooke, her chickens, additional cats, dogs, horses, and now hopefully turkeys. Thank you for the shout out to those who have become loyal followers.

Keep after it with the turkeys. Several colleagues of mine took it upon themselves to reintroduce turkeys to our part of Kansas. They spent several years at it, but had great success. Once mature, they set a large cage in the woods and released 1/3 of the birds. These birds hung around the cage and got eaten. They then released the second 1/3 of the birds which went to the trees, but mostly got eaten. They released the final third who got the hell out of Dodge and seemed to survive well.

I really enjoy the egg hatching videos, that’s one of the reason I love watching Marie at Random Okie Farms. I would love to see he turkey and quail populations increase again!

@edmartin875

Don't know about turkeys, but the quail population went up and down according to the amount of rain we received in West Texas. This was back many years ago. During at least one point my parent's farm did not get measurable amounts of rain for 3 years. It was good that both my parents were raised on farms and the fact they were wise enough to drill multiple wells around their property and make extensive use of drip irrigation.

I love the Bison. Big Joe is my favorite male. Wish you still had the Big Joe cups and tumblers. And Eleanor and Bellestar. The reddogs are so cute I absolutely love reddog season.❤❤❤

Healthy looking red dogs and the herd overall. They also look very chill.

Domestic cats are really hard on the quail population, also their natural habitats are being decimated by sub divisions. Thanks to y’all for your great content

This reminds me of when I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Kenya. At my site, I wouldn't see the various wild animals (usually, but not limited to baboons) in the bush until they wanted you to. This was also true of travelling by bus... giraffes or zebras would be crossing the road and even though you'd try to watch, the entire herd would manage to disappear into the brush. 😂

Those baby bison are so CUTE. They're being woods bison...there's green stuff and water within a few steps...and the red dogs will be more comfortable

Love catching up with you Dusty and Marissa. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤They are all just beautiful to watch. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Getting my CTB fix again today. Love this...

I was just thinking about how long the channel has been going. I remember when I first started watching, it was so cool to hear the excitement in your voice when a buffalo would let you touch them and now they come up to you all the time. So amazing that such a majestic animal will just walk up to you. Not many people in the whole world will ever experience that amazing honor. So blessed, so kewl to watch your journey with these animals

I’ve been following little less than a year now and love it! Thanks for sharing your life ❤

Hey, there, called timber bison during the timber

❤😊❤ Totally enjoy watching them.

I'm glad vacation went great! And home life is good. I loved they were all hanging in the woods and by the water. They looked content. Sweet babies.

Congratulations on 5 Years of sharing your life with me. I have learned so much about the bison. Will be fun to see the turkey adventure.

You and Marissa work so hard. Hope you enjoyed your vacation.

Red dogs gotta have their water safety lessons toooooo 😊

I 🩷 LOVE watching your channel. Marissa and Brooks are so helpful. You have some Great ranch hands there. Brooks is one smart cookie.

One of the reasons I enjoy your channel is because you are so down to earth- I know nothing is always perfect, but I find your channel so relaxing. You are an amazing person, husband and father. Keep being you.

I absolutely love seeing the bison. I tell my husband about them many times. Especially Big Joe. Dusty, Marisa and Brooks we all love you folks. You are hard workers and I love how you are resurrecting the prairie along with the beautiful bison! 🦬 ❤

Love the idea of replenishing turkeys to the wild❤❤. God’s blessings

I've been watching you for at least three years and I think I've gone back and watched all the videos. I have learned so much through your videos. You have been a great teacher to all of us about bison. Even just watching the bison hang out is enjoyable. For a couple years when I was growing up our family got day old pheasant chicks (supposed to be hens, but a few males weren't sexed correctly) that we raised and released to increase the population in our area of Wisconsin. Helped a lot.

Thank you Dusty and family for the update on how things are going there in Oklahoma ! I love seeing everything especially the bison !

I enjoy watching the bison 🦬 in the water cooling off. It’s so lovely just to watch them you are so lucky Dusty, Marissa & Brook . With the bison going into the woods because it’s cooler & the water is there at the moment, Dusty is it a lot more cause for concern because the ground is not level for them that the bison 🦬 might break a leg wandering off down there? It looks pretty and a lot shady for them. But they could hurt themselves. God Bless you Dusty, Marissa & Brook keep your Family , Farm, Bison 🦬 safe . Amen 🙏 🙏🙏❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

Congratulations Dusty and Melissa an Brooks on 5 years growing Bison love your videos.❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you for raising these beautiful animals.

I’m anxious to see how many turkeys hatch out, please keep us posted. 5 years…WOW. I’ve been watching since Daniel encouraged you to start your channel, I’ve learned so much, Thank You!

I bet Houston would be excited to incubate the remaining turkey eggs! Love watching your videos.

Way to go Dusty many thanks to you and Marisa (&family/friends) for your dedication to the bison AND turkey!!! May God continue to Bless you in all your endeavors!!!!!!

Good day to all, peace and joy.

We've had summer here in RGV TX for over two months. Today 96 with feels like 110 at 4:45pm 5/30/24.

We love you Dusty and family 😍😍😍😍😍

Hi Dusty, Marissa and Brooks. Love

Bison is my favorite animal! I could watch them all day! It be so exciting to run a ranch like yours. Thanks for sharing your Bison life with us.

Glad to see so many Blessed Red Dogs Surviving!!! Thank you God n Jesus!!! Blessings n safety to you,them n your followers!!!May God n Jesus protect n deliver us from harm!!!

Hello Marisa Brooke and Dusty

You should read a book called Mama makes up her mind, you will love the chapter on turkeys.

I love watching them. Thanks for always sharing these beautiful bison

Great video. I love watching the bison interact with each other. Loved the red dog rolling in the dirt after Mom. If you shake a bag of cubes by the woods do you think the herd would come out. I did miss seeing Dunbar..... I ❤ DUNBAR,

So interesting to see the girls and red dogs chilling by the creek. Good luck with the turkeys. It so beautiful to see you doing this for nature❤

Can't blame them ... I live in very so cal area and temps are near 25 degrees warmer than a month ago, but still another average 25 degrees to go for summer so ya, I'd be hiding in the cooler green shade too if I could! 😅

Omg it’s always so lovely to see those beautiful little red dogs, they’re sooo cute, and the bison have the right idea resting under the trees, l hope that your turkey project is successful guys, do you know what else would look amazing at the Ponderosa, some PEACOCKS lol, you guys have done such a fantastic job raising your beautiful bison, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧

BIG JOE ❤❤❤

Dusty I love watching the Bison as much as you have time to show. The longer your videos are or the more you can put out is great. The little red dog rolling around in the waller was so cute!!! Can’t wait to see how it goes with the turkeys. I can already see Brooks holding one. I hope y’all really enjoyed your vacation. I saw y’all fishing on one of your brother n laws videos. Looked like fun. Thanks again for sharing your family and Bison with us.

Great to be with you most of the time. Remember you still doing fenching on the "old farm". Long time ago. You sure have grown alot and I enjoyed watching it. God bless 🙏❤️

Have loved your channel from the beginning. You and your family are a credit to this country. I'm proud to have met you if it is only through the internet. God Bless you Baker family!

People like y’all are the backbone heart and soul of this country and if and when things go upside down in our country y’all will be what keeps the country going

I LOVE to watch these channels about livestock and the good people who take such good care of them especially the families who work so well together and are calm and respectful in words and deeds.

I grew up on a farm with chickens too. Sometimes not all the eggs hatch. So that is why they sent you extra. It is a pleasure watching & learning about bison from you and your family.

Always enjoy watching the bison. Hope your turkey adventure goes well. Have enjoyed your videos the past five years.

Dusty, I just want to thank you for your channel. It's one of my favorites. I basically didn't know much about bison but with your knowledge and experience, I have found a deep love for there animals. Thank you for restoring the herds. Makes me want one, but don't think the city would let me keep it in my backyard. I've always wanted to be Elinors protecter. Just being by her side to make sure she had love surround her and give her lots of hugs and snacks, etc. I know that's not possible, but I've always been for the underdog all my life. Keep on bison ranching, Dusty, cause it makes me happy as well.❤️

The herd is looking good! I love seeing so many red dogs. I, too, could just sit & watch them!! Good luck with those turkey eggs. Thanks for sharing ❤️🦬❤️🦬❤️🦃❤️🦃❤️

Thank you for everything ya’ll are doing to help out the Oklahoma native wildlife.

Hello Baker Family! I'm super excited and wanted to share... Ended my work day/week today with a surprise delivery! My husband surprised me with a CTB bundle! Thank y'all so much for sharing your journey with us and all the hard work that you do! We appreciate you and LOVE watching the Bison. Have a great weekend!

Dusty, I want to thank you for your videos for the past 5 years. The buffalo have always been my favorite, especially with the history of these majestic creatures. Not only that, but you also do an amazing job teaching us, sharing the good and the hard times. My dad was born and raised in Elk City, so Oklahoma has always had a special place in my heart. Your videos have gotten me through some of the hardest times of my life. My husband fought cancer for over two years before he passed away in 2022. It gave me a break from my own life and always put a smile on my face and brought peace in my life. You and your family make us feel like we are part of your life. What you have accomplished in the past 5 years is amazing! Of course, Dunbar and Elinor were the stars of the videos and many of us fell in love with those two, especially Elinor. Thank you for sharing your life with us and making us feel like we are part of your life. God bless all of you and keep up with the incredible job you're doing for these beautiful animals.
