@@that_garden_gnome Why? The method seems to have the effect of preservation as the number of bison increases. The bison pay with their lives for the care they receive. One large bison is worth one or two thousand dollars suppose. Do you have a better plan? What? Have you been listening to Klaus Schwab and the world economic forum and his plan to reduce world population?

Looks like that herding quad could use pneumatic folding long gates on either side of it to expand outward 15 ft on either side when herding the cattle; like a race start truck with the unfolding wings on a standardbred trotting track; thats how they start the race.

@@BrokenArrowBison herding bison is a very difficult job; they are definitely not as domesticated as cows; the quad wings wd have to b very sturdy indeed; and the funnel fence leading into the canal type fence wd have to have a large gradual mouth to it; otherwise the cattle may not readily go into it. but think what a great video that would make with a quad OR an older pickup that had expanding folding wings; you could go to any trotter racing track and examine their race start truck to see how they do theirs up. wd make a very good yt video!!

We had a few bison farms around here in Alberta, one had around 800 head, one of the farmers had a 30 panel that he had hooked up to his loader on the tractor to move them in alley ways, I think it might help to put some rubber conveyor belting to cut down on the noise to settle them just a little better

Just to reflect - brilliant that you are out there taking it all in - another little point of what we found out about the routine - is its very wet weather more chance of having to do it - the best way for an animal to thrive is to let it on the dry side of things. I mean dry feet etc - dry stalls - be specific of cleaning up muck area etc.

@BrokenArrowBison

Personally I have not. Horses are used to round them up often but I don’t know of anyone who uses them in the actual holding facility. Bison are faster and more agile than most horses are. So it would take a good horse and good rider I suppose.
