The Bison Herd

From time to time I take a "short cut" home from the Tractor Supply Company or the Page Co-op, cutting through behind the co-op to Leaksville Road.  It's definitely not shorter, but is more of a scenic drive through rolling pastures.

A while back, I discovered that there is a farm back there that was keeping a mixed herd of cows and bison.  Last year, there were five or so of the larger animals and a couple of dozen cows.

On Sunday, driving through, as I turned the corner, this scene filled the windshield: a dozen or more bison grazing on the hillside!  Phone cam quality being what it is, I took the best photo I could while stopped on the side of the road.

It's a multi-generational herd, as you can see.
