Like they're not allowed to freely roam.

And so if you really, like, if you really want to split hairs and say how many wild bison are out there, I mean, it's a fraction, a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a percentage.

Yeah, no.

So it's, it's, it's a funny story.

So, um, literally I, I, I'm not exaggerating, uh, because I worked on bison at Yellowstone bison, I have a, I had a Google alert for Yellowstone bison.

One day I get a Google alert.

that there's a Bozeman daily Chronicle article on the national bison, the national bison association had just had their summer conference in big sky.

And they did something at Ted Turner's flying D ranch.

That's like the producer association.

Exactly.

And, um,

So the article just said that they had their summer conference in Big Sky and that demand for bison meat was growing.

They were looking for more producers.

And I literally read the article and I was like, man, I'm like, that sounds so cool.

Clearly not for me as a kid from Chicago, but for somebody, that's going to be awesome.

And I just went about my day.

And then a couple months later, it was still like kicking around my brain.

And I was like, God, I feel like there might be something there.

But I was like, you know, to like give Buffalo this great life on a ranch and because they haven't been domesticated, shipping them to slaughter is like super high stress.

So there's like an ethical humane component to that.
