      Iirc a lot of the farmed bison is from bison that we hybridized with cows. So not technically the same as wild bison

          Yeah there’s a small (5-7 bison) farm near me that uses telephone poles as fence posts, with metal fencing wrapped around 12 feet up (4m).

          It has serious Jurassic Park vibes

      They offically went extinct. I think there’s efforts now to reintroduce them and get wild populations happening again, but some time in the 80s they were declared extinct.
