“The Texas A&M study that was published in the journal Scientific Reports found that all bison in North America carry small portions of DNA of domestic cattle. This updates previous findings from 20 years ago that revealed that only a few herds existed that were thought to be free of bovine ingression, including the herd in Yellowstone National Park.”
“The new findings from the recent study could change management practices within the bison community and actually make conservation efforts of closed bison herds like Custer State Park easier since they will no longer need to be isolated from other herds. For private producers the study provides information to structure genetically management practices to include more genetic diversity.
The study suggests that the well-intentioned efforts of ranchers in the 1800’s wanting to preserve the iconic animal may have left a complicated genetic legacy through intentional or unintentional cross breeding between the two species. Although without their efforts it is possible the bison would have been extinct.”
New technology in bison genetic testing may improve management practices
CUSTER STATE PARK, S.D. — A recent Texas A&M study on bison genetics may change management practices of bison herds across the nation, including the Custer State Park herd. “There’swww.newscenter1.tv

Like playing chess with a pigeon
Some ranchers like raising bison and cattle. However those bison are grazed for slaughter or sold to be fed out for slaughter. AP‘s bison are not being grazed for slaughter. Just because you raise bison doesn’t necessarily mean that your land is no longer agricultural land.

Note the irony. It’s gold.
Never made that comment...You can be in the NF anytime you want to be, but I don’t think it is good ethics to scout in the NF while another hunt is going on. Scouting on state land is only so many days before your hunt and the unit wide private properties are only a couple or few days or whatever it is, before your hunt. I have my scouting schedule setup to scout those areas coming up. I will be hunting state land and e-plus private property this season.I was thinking of the rokslide comment that a NM unit wide landowner tag forbid you from being in the national forest more than 10 days before your hunt.
I don’t see a scholar in reading comprehension there.....
Quite the clairvoyant, the challenge occurred two weeks ago and no one was surprised.Apparently, my assumptions were correct. The BLM decision to graze APs bison has been appealed (Reconsideration) to the DOI Office of Hearings and Appeals. The Taylor Grazing Act is very clear about which species are considered to be DOMESTIC livestock and bison are not on the list. Once the DOI OHA makes a decision on the reconsideration, THAT decision is final. My crystal ball says that BLM will lose and that will be the first step in dismantling the Empire. Wild Sky is fundamentally flawed as well, but that is another chapter in the history book.
Weird, almost like they have constituents to pacify.The Montana Stockgrowers Association said Monday it had appealed the decision to the U.S. Interior Department's hearings division. Gov. Greg Gianforte and Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen also filed appeals.
Part of the decision space?"The BLM’s decision ignores the real concerns of rural communities and ranchers who rely on the land in favor of elitist attitudes of those seeking to transform Northeast Montana into a wildlife viewing shed for tourists," Knudsen told Fox News Digital.
But once again, this is all deflection and obfuscation because AP is perfectly free to raise whatever beefalo they want to on their private property.
Some of us actually worked on this genetics stuff you keep citing, during development of those genetic panels with TAMU, and UC Davis, and how to apply the data to bison conservation. You are misrepresenting old data and calling it gospel, and misinterpreting the current utility and application. Not that I think you care, because I agree you seem to have some kind of UPOM agenda and false information is your bread and butter. But I’ll post this anyway for anyone in the gallery who may be curious…
Kunkle’s opinion on the importance of “purity” always has been in the minority, and is now moot. The level of introgression in bison (<1%) is far, far lower than acceptable levels of hybridization in other recovery species (IIRC closer to 20% in some fish, for example). Plus, way back in 2007, anyone with a grasp of genetics expected that introgression likely existed in all conservation herds because of their origins and shared foundation stock, and the fact that we were literally looking at 33 loci. That’s 33 out of millions. Failure to detect didn’t say much. People latching on to purity were fooling themselves.
But so what? Nearly the entirety of what we know about bison came after the bottleneck, and thus we learned it from examination of introgressed bison. Carcass characteristics, foraging patterns, biological functions, etc. Turns out the bison we know today and cattle are still very different in very meaningful ways, so how big a deal is the fraction of a percent of cow DNA, really?
The far bigger threat to bison genetics is genetic drift, loss of heterozygosity, and loss of alleles. We’ve seen an alarming number of alleles disappear from some herds just in the time we’ve been studying bison genetics. Keeping genetic diversity is priority number one. This is what AP and others now diligently manage their herds for.
But once again, this is all deflection and obfuscation because AP is perfectly free to raise whatever beefalo they want to on their private property.
