Earlier this summer, we heard that Shea’s cousin’s herd of bison had gotten out and were in a nearby farmer’s field.
We knew that previously when only one animal had gotten out, her uncle had been able to guide him back into the pasture using a front-end loader tractor he used to feed them which it followed thinking it was lunch time.
But since so many got out, it would be impossible to herd them all with a tractor like they did for a single one before. So we had no idea how (or if!) they’d be able to cajole the bison back to their fenced area.
We later heard they had a stroke of genius – they got a local who happened to have a private plane to take off and he was able to herd them from the air!
Anyhow, here’s one of the bison from her uncle/cousin’s herd in earlier times, possibly plotting an escape route…
