A small herd of bison from Yellowstone National Park will be moved to Wyoming’s Wind River Reservation during April, part of a fledgeling effort to spare some of the animals from a government-sponsored slaughter program.
The 41 bison are now in a quarantine facility in Corwin Springs, Mont., just north of the park. They are what’s left of a group of 100 bison spared in 2005 and 2006 from a slaughter program meant to guard against transmissions of the disease brucellosis to domestic livestock.
