We got to tour Carolina Bison ranch the day after the Southern Foods Spring Food Show. The trip was put together by our friends at Certified Angus Beef and Southern Foods. The bison are absolutely huge, when viewed up close. We were told that they can jump up to five feet in the air from a standing postition. Needless to say that did not make us feel to comfortable in the back of a shallow trailer being hauled by a pickup truck. I was also told they can run up to 40 miles per hour. So if one had jumped in the trailor, I know that I couldn't out run the bison. I just hope I could out run everyone in the trailor.
