Worked a small bison ranch, 14 female bison, two males, and a number of young. The one male was head honcho of course, and come mating season, the younger would, challenge him, which was quite the nightly show. These huge ‘lumbering’ animals can turn the speed on Ina flash. Every once in awhile, we had to go In and clean out the pens, but before we did we had to get them into another pen (which wasn’t hard, we just dropped some silage into the other pen- they go bonkers for it)- there was no way I’d go in thr pen with them- just way too unpredictable
Our neighbor had a ‘pet bison’ that killed him. He gored the fella, which he survived, buT never healed right and got infected over and over, and he finally died from it about a year later. Some folks just think they have a special connection with animals and that they understand them. Well, they might, for awhile, until they don’t that is
I have a family member that works at a bull farm. One rule is compulsory, never turn your back to a bull while in a pen. Doesn’t matter if the pen 200ft x 200ft.
