Huge herds of bison once covered the western plains, where Native Americans practiced sustainable hunting for centuries. Today, these iconic American animals have been brought back from the brink of extinction, thanks to the efforts of conservationists and ranchers. This book addresses how the undomesticated animals are handled in a farm setting and the ways that herd management and land management are interconnected. Full-color photographs show how these unconventional farm animals are raised as well as how they contribute to the economy.
