Feeding the Bison

This week we went on our second video tour.  This time we went to Boss Bison Ranch located in Cadiz Ohio. This was a very interesting experience for me since we have a cattle farm back home. I have never seen a bison/ buffalo before and really didn't know anything about them. I assumed the family would talk to us about their farm and then take us to either the barn or up to the fence to look at the animals. How wrong was I.

Snitch. Always the first one to check out the visitors
and then report back to the group.
When we got there they were very happy to see us and show us around. We sat and talked all about the farm, products, each animal, everything you could think of having to do with bison for about an hour. Then they loaded us up in the bed of their pickup truck and headed out to the pasture. As soon as the truck pulled into the pasture the bison started coming up to us. We definitely got up close and personal with the bison! The let us feed them bread and shoot our footage/ take pictures. These bison were so used to people it wasn't funny. For a second we thought they would try and get in the truck.

We learned so much on that trip and had so much fun! It was such a great experience to hear how much they loved being a part of Ohio Proud and how much they benefited. Experiences like this make it all worth it.
