[QUOTE="BARNSCOOP, post: 658176, member: 7032"] I used to buy bison meat from a guy in my neck of the woods that had a very large herd (before I had cattle). I never heard him complain about them. But he did get completely out after a few years. We also have people here who raise them for team penning practice. Every gate on their place is a twisted, bent mess. Even heard of them having to kill one on the spot and call a rollback to come get it to slaughter. My vet told me to never get a bison....unless I enjoyed the anticipation of getting hurt. But I have a friend who bottle fed one , William is his name, and he is a hugh monster of a guy at six or older. He stays in a lot with goats and is happy but only the owner can touch him. My husband wants one but I'll just say it.......I have enough trouble with cattle, I work hard building fence, and live across a large creek from the city....I don't need another worry. I believe these guys need ROOM to roam and most farms can't offer enough of it. But they are neat. The same friend that has the bison also has Long Horns. Raises them for the roping guys. That maybe a good way to make money on Long Horns. [/QUOTE]
