there are 10s of thousands of healthy bison now throughout the west..the current crop at Yellowstone came from the Bronx Zoo....and they had Brucellosis...which can kill other ungulates.
Move some of Ted Turners healthy Bison in from nearby and make up some nice Bison steaks roasts and burgers from the current Yellowstone herd.
I heard awhile back that Ted was supposed to take 2,000 of these animals to his bison ranch. He wanted the new genetic stock for his herd. I wonder what happened to that?
