Photog wife got invite to photo/film Bison roundup on private ranch. The first advice was “They don’t domesticate”. Lots of calves, the herding dogs were amazing. The calves were shot with colored pellets after being counted so they wouldn’t be counted twice. The entire enterprise was a blast and quite educational. When a herd of buffalo moves, the earth shakes and everyone except those crazy dogs gets out of the way. Took them down a highway with a police escort too, that was fun.
I had a job working cows.
The company brought in heifer bison.
The fence between them needed fixing.
The cow pen was nasty dirty.
The bison pen was clean.
It was an easy decision.
I pulled into the bison pen, fixed the fence and got out of there
Not without some trepidition.
They bunched up behind me and snorted their different sounds
