Bison had recently been introduced in Grasslands National Park, and this fellow was one of the original herd. This is from a tiff file that I created. at that time. Today's editing tools do a better job of showing the details of its head, including the brown eyes against brown hair.

In 2006 I witnessed a community branding event for the first time. Five or six ranchers drove their cattle to a central corral, where the calves were separated from their mothers and branded. It is a well organized operation, with each calf branded with the distinctive mark of the ranch it belongs to. This image shows the cattle being sorted before the branding.
