GRANDVIEW, Manitoba - An 80-year-old Canadian bison rancher says people have come from around the world to see his prized animals , which he allows to roam around his house. When you visit his home, does he provide the hip-boots, or do you bring your own?

I love it! I wish I was there but I could not be a rancher. Maybe shearing sheep.

IS that the guy having coffee with the Bison? He does not look 80 years old.

No worse than going to the restroom at the Kuwait airport.

Bison rancher Henry Makinson pets his pal Patrick, the one that picked him up on its horn and hurt his back.

about “picked him up on its horn”. . .
“And this winter, while feeding the bison, one named Patrick butted him gently to push him away and its horn caught under Makinson’s snowmobile suit belt. “He lifted his head and lifted me up. He was carrying me. He was backing up and I was dangling from his horn.” It hurt his back but he says he’s mostly recovered now.”

Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam
And the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day

Wow. Patrick is the size of a smaller pickup truck. They are really a throwback to 10,000 years ago or so.

I remember singing "Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam and I'll show you a dirty house".
That was 60 years ago, LOL, when cowboys had to sing.

Makinson said other bison ranchers "think I'm crazy, because a buffalo will kill you."People are so quick to jump to conclusions.

Last time I was in Yellow Stone a Japanese tourist was killed by a Bison because he went to put his arm around it while his picture was taken by his wife. The Buffalo evidently didn’t like it much.

Now that looks like fun! lol But I have to correct their figures. 30 mph is way more than three times faster than I can run.

I’d much rather deal with cattle than shear sheep.
Most of the sheepmen now hire the spring shearing done by lads from NZ and Oz. The really good ones (when they’re sober) can shear a ewe in about one minute, and keep the staple long with no second cuts. They’re amazing to watch.
