Bison Auction
November 3 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm
Watch the bison auction at the theater or online!
The manageable herd size for bison on Antelope Island is between around 500-550 bison, and each year there are between 200-300 calves born into the herd. With no natural predators on the island capable of taking down a bison, it is necessary to artificially reduce the herd size to every animal has the resources they need to survive.
By selling excess bison at a public auction, park staff are able to keep the herd within a number the habitat can support. Ideally, the plan calls for a herd size of about 550 bison. This will be an online auction. Contact [email protected] with any questions.
