Hey B4, what'd you have for breakfast this AM? I know that you know better than that. The slain critters were from a well established commercial ranch.
Can you show me a Code of Colorado Regulation that specifically includes bison in the livestock definition?
1 CCR 201-5: ...Livestock means cattle, horses, mules, burros, sheep, lambs, poultry, swine, ostrich, llama, alpaca and goats or other animal raised for food, fiber or hide production, and alternative livestock under 35-41.5-102, C.R.S. but not pet animal as defined in 35-80-102(10), C.R.S.

If a bison was able to be contained behind a standard 3 wire live fence then I’d agree it’s a form of livestock. They are more like moose in size and behavior. Walking through a 3 wire fence is something that wouldn’t even be noticable for them.
