In step forward for quarantine program, 5 bison going to Fort Peck reservation from Yellowstone NP

A truck was scheduled to pick up the five bulls from an Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service facility near Corwin Springs early Friday morning, according to Robbie Magnan, the Fish and Game manager for the Fort Peck Tribes.
