Most ruminates move on as the grass is grazed. The North American Bison – also known as Buffalo – seem to return frequently to the same spots.
And, as it turns out, the grass in those areas is significantly healthier, the soil is richer, and the actual grass contains more nitrogen compared with carbon than other grass.
Why?
The combination of aggressive, specific grazing – and Bison dung – a great fertilizer.
In other words, they “farm” those areas to provide themselves with the best food.
