Offer ranch-raised bison to other ranches or recovery programs

The agreement with the Yukon bison ranch is to return a number of bison to the Yukon government in exchange for the original bison that were taken from the highway and used to establish the captive herd. Based on the growth rate of the wild herd, the replacement bison will not be needed for that population. They should therefore be available for sale or for trade to obtain Mackenzie Sanctuary bison for genetic enhancement of the Yukon herd (see Genetics).
