Bison Bison

Taste of the past at Custard State Park.  About time Way of the Buffalo has a post on Bison.  I spent time learning about the management of the herd Monday and got some pretty interesting facts.  The herb at Custard is 1500 strong and they don't let it get any bigger.  They auction off Bison, you can buy a calf for 900 and a breeding female for 2500.  The herd is ran by a female who, kicks the breeding males out until its breeding time.  This year 6 males died at the park from breeding battle wounds.
