Please explain, then, how bison and longhorn cattle coexist at the Wichita Mts. Wildlife Refuge. And, without disease transmission to cattle on adjoining private land.

The Wichita Mountain bison and longhorn cattle are monitored closely. They have a yearly roundup and test the animals and slaughter the bison and longhorns that seroconvert. They no longer have a Brucella problem. The other ranges are free range and don't have the management that the Wichita Mountains do. Also, the bison and longhorns are confined to a specific area and do not leave the confines of the area as the fences are nine feet high and well built.
