Here is a second opportunity to stop and scan the hillsides, hoping to spot these great animals.
Bison, commonly called buffalo, are independent, fast on their feet, and bigger than you would believe. You don’t want to get too close. This ranch has huge pastures, with sturdy fences so the bison can roam almost naturally. The herds with cows and calves may be in sight from the highway, or they may be over the hills and far away. Frequently, the bulls, alone or in small groups, will hang out close to the highway. If you are lucky, you might get to see them wallowing, or sparring. Keep your eyes open. There may be other prairie residents around too.
