Sheriff says he'll sign bison neglect complaint
The Sioux County sheriff says he'll sign a neglect complaint against the ranch along the North Dakota-South Dakota border where hundreds of bison broke loose. Landeis said about 1,000 starving bison have been ranging more than a dozen miles from Wilder Ranch feedlots. Fences where the animals broke out still must be fixed, he said. Dan Bauer, a Selfridge rancher, estimates the bison caused $10,000 damage to his property in hay eaten and fences wrecked. Landeis and Sioux County State's Attorney John Gosbee have told ranchers to submit damage claims. Gosbee has estimated they easily could reach $100,000...From the Dickinson Press.
