They're just doing their thing.
And so, yeah, that, that's a big, I think about that a lot, like a big thing that we, I feel like a big service we provide is just comfort familiarity with the species that most people either never see, or they're like, it's only in Yellowstone.
And so, yeah, it's, it's, it's making people more comfortable with bison back on the landscape.
I'll, I'll take it a step further.
I mean, one, I couldn't agree more.
I hate game farms and I, it's funny.
I quote you all the time.
Cause when we met years ago, when you spoke at the Montana bison association conference, you, you laid it out perfectly.
You were like, I hate game farms.
Exactly what you just said, but bison is this weird, this it's this unique thing where it makes sense.
And we're not a game farm, we're a ranch, but we're, uh, you know, the importance of private ranches for Buffalo.
And, and so, yeah, it's like 90, something like 95% of, of the population of bites in North America are on ranches, like are on ranches like ours.
And then even the conservation herds that, that are out there, the majority of those, almost all of them aren't wildlife.
Like to me, a wildlife species, I know you would agree is it goes wherever the hell it wants to go.
And, and so like, whether it's Custer wind cave, uh, Teddy Roosevelt, these various parks, they're ultimately fenced.
They're managed.
They, um, you know, they round the bison up, um,
And even Yellowstone, right?
