I feel like being told by #indigenous Elders it would be nice if they could bring back the #bison , but then deciding dire wolves are a better choice is totally missing the point of their self-stated mission.

The Fluffy Cows ™️ were out! They were in a narrow transfer area waiting to be moved to another bit of prairie. Zeena and Tonttu of course were excited to say hi.

The sign on the fence says that everyone must stay 10 feet away from the fence for safety reasons, but doing so would have meant standing on the side of the slope! We broke the rules and stayed on the trail >>10' from the fence. 😏

My next Canadian 🇨🇦 province is Manitoba with its provincial animal the bison and flower the crocus (Anemone patens) in this linocut. The block was inked 'à la poupée' (with different colours, pale violet, umber and brown, in different areas) and printed by hand on lovely Japanese kozo (or mulberry) paper.

It's no mystery how the bison could symbolize this prairie province. Manitoba is one of the few places where 🧵1/n

After 120 years of conservation efforts, #Yellowstone #bison are a single breeding population derived from multiple historic bison herds, researchers discover
Bison like those in Yellowstone once suffered a population crisis that conservationists call the "population bottleneck" of the 19th century. By the early 1900s, American bison numbers had been reduced by 99.9% across North America and only 23 wild bison were known to have survived poaching in Yellowstone.

Many colleges & schools have a bison or buffalo as their mascot. We have the bison or buffalo solo, playing many different sports or, as shown here, graduating! These cards are perfect thank you cards.

Many other awesome graduation gifts for all budgets

Congrats Bison (or Buffs)!

Day 16 of 30 Days of Local Food: Oakridge Acres

Each time I’ve driven to Oakridge Acres, a bison farm, I’ve caught a glimpse of those magnificent beasts in their paddocks. Big woolly, and surly, their lean meat is irony and minerally—I’ve made cedar-braised shortibs, burgers and samosas from their meats. The farm shop’s chest freezers are filled with meats from other local and nearby producers, and its shelves, bins and racks feature baking, produce and products grown nearby.

Western food was unhealthy and costly. So they turned back to bison and mushrooms

Grazing cows tend to concentrate together, sometimes feasting on a single type of plant until it’s depleted. Bison are more likely to cover more ground when they graze, eating a variety of plants, which has a gentler impact on the ecosystem.
