Doesn't look like much of a fence for bison, don't pi$$ them off!

Nice ! Funny to think how many were once in this country and
how few are left. I saw the numbers a while back and can't
remember them exactly. I do remember the difference was very
hard to comprehend.

Or go by the fence when they have little ones. One guy has a hear of around 100 just east of me. They round them up in the fall and seperate them. They haul them away I am guessing to slauter

...That's kinda what worries me. First it was the bison, then we came in. Now we're here, and advanced technology is on the way. :shock:

Hmm...guess I hit the wrong reply button. Was replying to this post:

Larry, I like those bison. Somerset County, NJ? or maybe Hunterdon? Saw some in that part of state last year.

In the past year or two there were a couple of incidents of bison getting lose on the NYS Thruway. Not good. We drive that a lot. Glad we
weren't going through at those times. Need that rugged fence.

GO WEST YOUNG MAN. Couple places here in Oregon that charge to hunt them. I have been elk hunting and actually saw some that were in the national forest. Only one person had any in that part of the country but he said they weren't his. Hunter shot one and took it to be butchered and then all of a sudden he claimed it. Big hoorah over that. Nice pictures Larry.

Neat photos.

It's really lean meat. A co-worker gave my husband a package of ground bison. It was pretty good.

RT 523 NJ. Drove past them many times working, they were in the paper last Sunday.Good looking
animals, but the butcher says nasty? Jeff

I remember seeing them here in upstate NY years ago. One restuarant in
Oneonta NY always had Bison burgers on the menu, I always got one if we
were in the area. Unfortunatly they closed/retired after 28 years the end
of 2013.

BarnyardEngineering · Mar 31, 2017

There's a farm up near me that has a herd of them. A couple years ago a bunch of them escaped while they were moving them from one farm to another. The farm was primarily a dairy farm until the patriarch decided he wanted to diversify and open a wildlife refuge and safari park and restaurant. They thought they could handle the bison like cows.

I believe they recaptured most of them but ended up shooting some. Of course bison is on the menu at the restaurant anyway so it was no big loss.

4wdtom · Mar 31, 2017

Interesting, and nice pictures. Where is that farm? There is a small farm near me in eastern CT that raises them for the meat. They sell it retail at the farm, but it is
rather expensive.

A bunch got loose near Albany NY a couple years ago - they ended up having to shoot them. They're an impressive animal - they actually swam across the Hudson river.

George--old boy out north of town had them for many years. When he died they had to give them to some ranch out west. Nobody around here wanted them. He told me "the bulls will stand for 3 days looking at an fence and then just walk thru it".

Goose · Mar 31, 2017

One of my wife's brothers, now deceased, was once a supervisor on the kill floor in a packing plant.

Someone brought in a buffalo bull to be custom processed. Ed said that sucker got loose and destroyed the area, even busted a concrete wall, before someone shot it with a high powered rifle they kept on the premises for emergencies like that.

I don't think the plant ever custom processed another buffalo.

Beef operator here has a herd of about 50. He applied for a practice to fence streams and ponds in exchange for water troughs when I worked for local Soil & Water Conservation District. I had to lay out a line for water pipes with bull and cows in the same pasture. Owner ran interference with his tractor while we worked close by. No problem with the bull. Those bulls are indeed impressive looking critters up close. The chute and ally-way he uses to work them up is 6 ft. high and he has had them jump out.

Few years back in south west Wisconsin a young bull got away from transport truck (Green County area?), disappeared for couple weeks- was a fair sized search for him. Finally found in middle of herd of mixed angus heifers and cows by water tank and hay feeder when big bales put in. Was a concern about 'Beefalo' calves showing up in the herd later. RN
