Need clarification on your edit to Bison article
Hello, Gbtrone, and happy new year!

According to this page, you added the information below to the Bison article. I was wondering if you could clarify what you meant in the italicized text:

Unlike the Asian Water Buffalo, the Bison has never really been domesticated. It is raised now mostly on large ranches in the United States and Canada for meat. Although there are wild herds in Yellowstone and northern Canada Wood Bison.

Thank you. --DBlomgren 04:08, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Reply,

What I meant by "wild herds" is that they are free to roam within the bounds of the parks with out restriction and and generally not handled or fed by ranchers or man. (I had a small herd of bison in Oregon back in the 80's). Gbtrone


 * Okay. And do you mean that the wild herds in northern Canada are herds of Wood Bison? Or is it a place? (You never know with Canada. :) Also, do you have a printed source for the information? If you do, it would be better to add it. DBlomgren 15:24, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
