Our ranch can roughly be divided into a lower-elevation pasture and a higher elevation pasture or, as I like to call them: the "high pasture" and the "lower pasture." From a bison's perspective, both have advantages and disadvantages. The higher pasture gives one a good view of the surrounding area, but, unless it's been raining heavily, there no water. The lower pasture doesn't allow you to see danger coming from as great a distance, but there is always water down there and the grass grows a little faster.

Some days the bison will spend most of their time in one or the other pasture, but I've always seen them spend the nights in the higher pasture.

| Not sure what this is about, but sometimes they like to chase each other. |

| Now it's time for some water. The fence runs over the edge of the pond. |
