i was a caretaker for a bison ranch- small one, with 15 bison with young calves- the corals were wooden, and when it came time to feed them their grain along the fence line, it was always kinda nerve wracking knowing the bison could bust right through with no problem- the main male woudl always follow us as we grained the dozen bison, and always challenge us as we tried to throw the grain through the fence into the containers-
That would make me nervous. I worked for a small meat processing facility and they would do custom kills & once in a while, a buffalo would be brought in & it was always in a steel pipe pen. The place did a lot of bulls for hamburger and there could be a dozen or more in a pen & they were always fighting but with the buffalo, whole different animal. To see one up close with a barrier between you is still intimidating.
