Which direction would you go to feed bales?

So much for being told they are march calvers!

I hate to be the one to have to break this to you, but those aren't actually Bison.
All the fences you built might be a little excessive for those wannabe bison.

Lol just started a small herd of 31 cows with a couple friends. They have the pasture, and take care of them. I get the easy part of making the feed. Easiest animals I will ever raise! Haha

Do you know if the bison in Elk Island park get any supplemental feed in the winter? Often see them in the sloughs along the highway in winter. If they survive there without supplementation is the answer to match herd size to pasture availability and let nature take its course.

I honestly don’t know. Drive through there often enough, and never see any bales. I imagine it would work just fine providing you don’t get caught short. When you are short pasture, you will likely be short on bales as well. And that is when they aren’t cheap

See the thistles in Elk Island? If the bison ate those they would never be hungry.

That sounds like the piece of prime farmland that the Alberta Conservation Association took over 20 some years ago close to here. But for some reason, the wildlife won't stay there eating thistles, they insist on crossing the road to eat our crops instead.
