>as a supporter of Bison...

I'm not sure I've run into a 'supporter' of a particular type of bovine before.

Why?

Bison are surely pretty comparable on a lbs mass to methane released ratio when fed with the same diets that cattle are.



other bovines didn't get to near-extinction and spring back after years of remediation and lobbying efforts, the American bison did.


You might find the European bison interesting [0].

One of the last existent species of North American megafauna!


Bison are less selective eaters and tend to spread out more, so they're less damaging to grasslands than cattle. They also require less water, antibiotics, and general attention than cattle.
