Good. Stupid tourists like him are the ones who walk up to bison for a selfie and then sue the park when he gets trampled.
Several bison have somehow become part of my cattle herd. Going on a decade or so. They keep getting pregnant, so there is a bull somewhere but I’ve never seen it. I have 19-20 now, and I castrate all the males.
I made an estray report after a year and the vet checked for a chip and we’ve got nothing. He’s been saying he’ll do a DNA test but never gotten around to it.
Sold a few steers to some creepy group that lets dentists go shoot them.
I don’t let them in the feed pen and they still stick around. They think they’re cows and would probably get on a truck to market without fuss.
In 2021 we left Sturgis and went through Yellowstone on the way home. Big open prairie and there were 8-10 cars stopped. Got closer, they were petting wild donkeys, My buddy and his wife stopped so I did, too. Little girl about 10-12 feeding crackers to a Jenny, who laid her ears back. I said “Sweetheart, when they put their ears back it means they’re thinking and that’s rarely a good thing.” Her dad came our way, I made a hand like fisting and started scratching inside the Jenny’s ear. She followed my hand to the ground and I sat on her scratching inside her ear. It drew quite a crowd and the Dad said “What, are you the F’n donkey whisperer?” I got up and said “No, but we raised them for 20 years and I never saw one that didn’t like that.”
