Obviously none of these people have ever had to ear tag a new born calf with mama cow in hot pursuit. The stupidity of many people is astounding.
I’ve never done that either, but we had the common sense to listen to the park rangers and heed the warnings when we visited.
That said, the NPS may want to up the distance on the bison warning.
we had a Beefalo for a number of years. Half buffalo and half cow.
Ran it in our commercial cattle herd that was bred for black baldies.
At first glance you would think it was a black Angus, until you got close, then you realized she was about 150 percent bigger than the other cows. She was gentle, but I always respected her space.
She had the gestation of a buffalo, not a cow. It was longer than a cow’s.
That reminds me of the farmer pulling a calf using a contraption called a calf puller. His farm was adjoined to a busy highway and a guy pulled off the highway to see what he was doing. He said he was pulling a calf using his calf puller tool. The guy was just amazed. He said do you have to do that often? No, but it’s not rare. The guy (obviously from the city) couldn’t believe it and asked just how fast do you believe that calf was running when it ran into her?
