Episode Details

At one time, nearly 60 million bison roamed across the United States. By the late 1880s, that number had shrunk to fewer than a thousand. Thanks to conservation and recovery efforts, the bison population in the United States has now grown to around 500,000. Eddie Gaw of Lazy G Ranch in Cookeville is one of many working to help bring bison back; he now raises bison exclusively on his ranch.
