What proof was ever submitted that the bison did any damage?
I can show you several places in California where bison graze behind 100-year-old barbed wire fences and never breach them.
You comments seem to run contrary to the ND state ag departments recommendations on Buffalo
As a rule of thumb, buffalo facilities will work for cattle but cattle facilities won't work for buffalo. Cattle working chutes, corrals and fences are generally too small and not high enough or strong enough to handle buffalo. The corral and working chutes need to be 7 to 8 feet high. Cat-walks along the outside of chutes and corrals are a good idea for safety. A strong squeeze chute with a crash gate and palpation cage is a must. All gates should be heavy duty, spring-loaded, locking slam gates. A 5- to 6-strand barbed wire fence with posts (wood or steel) 12 to 14 feet apart will keep buffalo in the pasture as long as they have plenty to eat. Buildings or calving sheds are not necessary to efficiently produce buffalo. Trailers need to have a roof to keep buffalo from attempting to jump over the sideSO which of you is wrong? Th ND State ag department or you who seem to have a particular viewpoint to push.
