Bison Round up

This morning Kent, McKinley and I went to the Bison round up on Antelope Island. No one else was interested in going.

We were directed to the road on the way to the ranch first.

We passed a nice herd on the way.

Eventually some Bison began getting herded through the passageway in front of us.

Some Antelope on Antelope Island

The Bison were herded up and over a ridge. This is when we drove over to the White Rock Bay area viewpoint. We had time to get some food from the food trucks there and set up our chairs and eat lunch.

Then the Bison came around and over the hill. They were herded along the fence line and on to the health center to be checked and some auctioned off. The island can only handle a herd of around 550, and each year they grow to around 700-800.

On the way out, here, the Salt Lake had it's pink hue going on.

I though it was a fun experience for the day.
