Yellowstone bison kept in a fenced quarantine facility at Stephens Creek just north of the park. Animals that are tested multiple times and shown to be free of brucellosis are available for shipment to the Fort Peck Indian Reservation which is endeavoring to build its tribal herd. Groups like the Buffalo Field Campaign and others have been critical of the test and slaughter regimen applied to Yellowstone bison even though elk%2C as confirmed by the National Academies of Sciences%2C represent the true%2C yet still remote%2C threat of passing brucellosis to private cattle herds. Sholly sees quarantine as an important regimen to keep bison alive and to build more social tolerance. Photo courtesy Jacob W. Frank%252FNPS
