Um, so yeah, so, so again, and that's like another example of like, people were skeptical of our fencing and now they, they see the bison on the right side of the fence.
They're grazing.
They see me field harvesting them and they're like, yeah, we're, we're cool with this.
So, uh, uh, you know, a big mature bull is, is well over 2000 pounds.
Um, they're, they're, they're, they're massive and their heads.
I had to, I had to, I had to, I had to field harvest a big bull last memorial last year, Memorial day weekend by myself.
It's it, their heads must weigh like 200 pounds, like just they're massive animals and no separate fencing for those.
No, we just, we, we run it as one herd year round.
Just cause, and the thought process there is from a, from a land health standpoint, if you zoom out, you know, a thousand years ago, you know, we had tens of millions of Buffalo, tens of millions of elk pronghorn.
So the entire west evolved with grazing animals, removing animals from the landscape.
Totally unnatural.
Like the west evolved with animals.
Can't argue that.
Um, but the way that they, the way that they grazed, like the Gallatin Valley, they, you know, thousands of animals would have come in here and they would have grazed, pooped, peed, wallowed, just, just made a mess of the place.
And then left for a long time.
