28 Yellowstone bison transferred to Montana Tribes

Another truckload of bison from Yellowstone National Park has been sent to the Fort Peck Indian Reservation in Montana, where they will complete a quarantine period to ensure they don't carry brucellosis.

The 28 bison were shipped Wednesday to the Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes. All the bison completed Phases I & II of the brucellosis quarantine protocol at Yellowstone and the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service facilities and will finish assurance testing (Phase III) at Fort Peck.
