Here's another statistic. Bison weigh about 1.6 times your normal beef cow. Roughly 150 years ago, there were 1.6 times as many bison living in the Missouri Breaks alone (and an even higher ratio elsewhere on the Great Plains and the four states to their west) than there are cattle in the same areas today.

When the bison herds were devastated over the following two decades, the area experienced some of the coldest temperatures in recorded history. What's the connection?

Once shot a Bison right thru the neck with a 30 375. Took a front end loader and 5 razor sharp knives to dress him.
