INFORMATION / TALKING POINTS

  • HB 194 is an act requiring a forage (range) analysis before wild buffalo (or bison) are released, transplanted, or migrate naturally, onto land in Montana.
  • HB 194 is another unfunded mandate required to be performed before transplanting or reintroducing buffalo as a wildlife species in Montana.
  • HB 194 provides no funding for a required forage analysis by a range scientist from MSU-Ag or US NRCS.
  • HB 194 uses agricultural theories based on livestock grazing principles rather than professional ecological analysis by wildlife and wildlands professionals.
A recent study done in Utah's Henrys Mountains clearly demonstrates that domestic cattle and bison use the landscape differently. Read Jackrabbits are a bigger problem for cattle than bison in Utah’s Henry Mountains, USU study says.

Thank you for everything you do for animals!
