The last bison.
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 3 comments link this postBack on May 2, I had a brief message on my Twitter update that said I was out to shoot bison, but with a camera. It was quite a day.
I made a much longer film for Michael and Colleen to keep as a kind of visual reminder of the bison herd they sold. The longer video detailed the day that started early in the cold morning and ended with a trip to New Rockford and back. However, here are a few of the exciting highlights in this shorter video.
Here you go. The herding of the last of the bison. Two bulls, named General Sherman and Ivan the Terrible.

They are magnificent beasts. There is a small (and I do mean small) herd of bison just down the road from my house. I always enjoy seeing them "lounging" in the field. It makes me wonder what it must have been like when the Plains had 12 million bison roaming from North Dakota to Texas. A shame what was done to them...

Though powerful, majestic, and awesome in the truest sense of the word, those two beasts looked panicked and stressed. To think that mere humans could make such grand animals flee in fear is sad.

I had a couple of moments of fear myself.
On the other hand, a regular ol' cow can be majestic. And, it can be herded by another majestic animal: the horse.
When it comes down to it...majestic animals don't translate into much in real life unless you're a vegetarian.
Those bulls had a pretty darn good life out in those big pastures with the rest of the herd.
