I caught the Bison out for a little run this morning. It’s a nice cool day with a little rain so I think they were happy to have a day without a lot of heat. Most of them still have a lot of their winter coat hanging on them still.

Finally got a digital camcorder. Welcome to the future. It’ll be a handy accessory to carry in my shiny metal aircar (was listening to Rush yesterday). So I’ll be putting together some strange and mostly boring videos of the farm and the rag-tag motley collection of critters and other items of general interest.

And here is our first video posted :

It’s a few minutes of the Bison lazily grazing in the field. There’s 11 of them currently, 9 are coming up on 2 years old and you’ll see 2 that are about 1 year old. At some points it’ll seem like I’m 8 feet away from them, that’s because I was about 8 feet away from them. They’re still definitely wild animals but they are constantly exposed to people and are even hand feed cattle cubes some times so standing calmly near them is possible. As they’re getting bigger and they’ll be mature this year for the fall mating season, we’ll be giving them more space and most interaction will be from the other side of a fence or from the bed of a truck.

Bookmark our YouTube channel, we’ll be adding more videos.

I’ve seen a few old photos of people sitting on a saddled bison, but let me suggest that this article is a good reason why you shouldn’t.
