Seasonal foods will typically be at their cheapest when they're in season, and will be readily available in most stores and farmers markets. Dr. Pickering's food combining guide can also help you determine which foods are in season, in addition to how to combine them for optimal health.
Bison can run at speeds approaching 35 mph which is as fast as a horse. And they are also extremely agile, able to turn quickly and jump high fences. So do not approach bison â view them from the safety of your vehicle.
Bison bulls weigh 1,600 to 2,000 pounds and stand 5.5 to 6.5 feet at the shoulder. They measure 9.5 to 11.5 feet in total length (including the tail). Bison usually live no longer than 20 years, but some have been known to live as long as 40 years. The cow is smaller, weighing up to 1,100 pounds. It is 4.5 to 5.5 feet high and less than 10 feet in length. The cow has a smaller hump than the bull and her horns are more slender and curved than the bull. Bison are definitely social animals and live in herds, although it is not unusual to see an occasional single animal on the prairie.
