Buffalo Herd

The Discovery Center maintains two bison herds, located on either side of Interstate 94. Both are visible from the interstate much of the time.

As living exhibits, our herds model a commercial ranch to the extent that is feasible. Like most other bison ranches, the number of animals we have in our herd is largely determined by the amount of grazing land we have. We want to strike a balance between the number of animals we have and the natural resources available to keep both animals and land healthy.
