A very good and informative program. I grew up on a Farm/Ranch on the Easter Plains of Colorado. My Maternal Grandfather homesteaded in Western Kansas. My Dad's family came to the area shortly after the Civil War although for the most part they were not Farmers or ranchers. Buffalo trails were still evident in the Buffalo Grass pastures that had not been tilled. One of these trails was still evident where it crossed our property. The top of the flat plateau had a depression about 3 foot deeper and 20 feet wide where Buffalo had worn down the soil 80 to 150 years earlier. This was truly a clash of civilizations. The elimination of the Buffalo/Bison was not only pure greed but an attempt at Genocide of the Native American population. I had to laugh when I heard the Wyoming Bison rancher talk about having 2,000 acres stocked with Buffalo. It is going to take hundreds of thousands of acreas to bring back Bison in significant numbers. Ted Turner has one of the largest Ranches in the country in Nebraska. He does have some Bison but to bring the herds back like they were in the 17th century is not possible. Bison WERE migratory, similar to migratory birds. Migratory Birdes had WINGS. Until Buffalo grow wings they will NEVER exist in the numbers there once were. UNLESS the dominant species (US) goes extinct.

The West has kind of this thing about identifying with the bison, mainly, I think, because it's the last part of the country with big open spaces left. It wasn't always this way. You could once find woodland buffalo in the East, but not in the extreme numbers of the prairie. The great eastern woodlands broke into savannah and long grass prairie about the longitude of Illinois. The Illinois State seal still features a buffalo above the words " The Prairie State". When I was a kid there, you could still find quite a lot of the old prairie in the corners of fields, around small woodlands and streams, and in some places acres of it. As a country boy growing up I spent a lot of time in it ( it's where I got most of my fishing bait:). The grass could get 6 feet tall and there were hundreds of species. Walk ten feet into the grass and it was like standing in a corn field, incredibly abundant. With the exception of bison, elk and puma ( which was before my time), all other species were represented there, not to mention hundreds of bird types. Unfortunatly the long grass prairie is almost extinct due to modern farming practices. There are still small protected areas scatted about, and if you ever get a chance to visit one, you will be amazed at what a third of North America used to look like before the plow. As a side note...there is a reason some of the largest pre Columbian cities in North America, were in Illinois.

Great educational film. I always thought the army had paid for the buffalo hunters to wipe out the herds as a way to starve the Indians. I did not know the diseases from cows going north killed more than hunters. It was still a result of the white man, but maybe not intentional. Its hard to talk about the bison with out talking about the Indians. I am glad to see the bison coming back. Even it is slow, I personally like the wild game more than beef. If I want fat flavor in the meat I can add sausage to it as I do deer for burgers. I saw the meat being processed and sold, but have not seen a market for it here in Texas. Doesn't mean its not here, I just haven't seen it. Today I learned the roast beef I was buying has 500 mg of sodium per 4 slices. Wild meat don't have all that or steroids. I will see what I can find on the market for bison. Thank all of you who have a hand in bringing them back. I have done nothing to help, if I can in some way, I would be honored to help.

I wish this was how we managed cattle and all animals, we use for consumption. I'm not a vegan or vegetarian. But, I think consumers need to change their meat eating habits. I'm not going to suggest boycotting fast food. Because they provide jobs. But, I believe we should reduce how often we eat at fast food and chain restaurants. The next step is for local stores to sell locally produced meats. My fiance and I made a choice a while back, to buy all our meats from a small local store in our town. It''s a small store. But, it is quality meat, that's raised less then 2hrs drive from where we live. So, we know the families who raise the cattle and we know the local people who work at the market. I believe the biggest factor is young people are intimidated by cooking. Let's be fare though. Many people have been intimidated by cooking. Many just didn't have anyone to show them. What young people today need, are simple recipes and they need it in away that interest them. It also has to appeal to their budget. You may not know this. But, two gaming companies put out cook books with in the last two years. Suddenly, I am watching young men and women, trying out recipes and cooking for their families. People resist when you preach them down. They are motivated when it is interesting, approachable, they see their peers doing it and it is fun.

The Frontier Army were intrinsic in the destruction of Buffalo herds.

The rest is history.
@marklumley6196 жыл бұрын
It would appear that history is ever changing by different information found or spread. For years it was pushed that the "white man" was the cause of the bison going nearly extinct. If one does plenty of research you'll see that the 30-60 million bison roaming the plains was around a thousand years ago. Over time droughts as well as over population lowered that number to around 10 million by the time of Lewis and Clark. Yes it is true Sherman did order the killing of the bison to subdue the American Indians but look at that time line and you'll see it's well into the last part of the 19th century. The Civil war was 1861-1865, Custer was killed in 1876 and it was then that Sherman was intent on subduing the American Indians of the west. So the film is correct in stating the cattle drives helped decimate the bison as the cattle drives started right after the Civil War as that's when the herds got so big and wild because so many farmers were fighting the war and let their cattle out. The dynamics of the depletion is far more than what most people know and a thorough research is the best way to get answers, unfortunately people believe everything their teachers taught them or a program they saw on tv. As I said research will get one better information but people generally don't like to do it.

Bison, wolves, bears all are native to the prairies. Man tried to get rid of them. We need them. I'm White and would love to see the land get back to normal. Cattle don't belong here, bison do. But now with cars and all the movement would need to be managed. Around Banff they have bridges that the animals can use to cross the road safely.

Don't know where my local stores get their buffalo from. We do have relatively small farms/ranches here in western NY. The thing that keeps me from buying more of it is the price. As for cooking it: no issues. Do it lightly and fast, no need to cook it to death or it turns tso shoe leather. Would also like to see more than just ground buffalo or small cuts of skirt steaks.

Our captions were created by an external company. We should have caught this error and corrected it. We apologize for the mislabeling.

YUP! to me the Bison is the last living testament to the old west. i wasn't aware that there were any pure genetic bison still around. all the mixing with cattle, the almost extinction of the ''buffalo to try and starve the american indian population"" YUP! to me the bison is the most majestic, knarley, beautiful on the plains. of course the antelope, mule deer, white tail i guess what i am trying to say is the west is gorgeous with wide open space, and beautiful wildlife. thank you for saving and working WITH the BISON.

The Problem with bison is they don't just get out, they want to migrate. Montana in the spring and Texas in the winter.

On the BLM & Forest Service cattle are not allowed in Riparian areas. I see they allow it for the buffalo.

Bison meat has a much more pleasant taste than cattle, and You don't have to worry about high fat content
