It's roundup again at the Fort Worth Nature Center & Refuge, where Bison Health is the show's star. In the spirit of tradition and wildlife care, the center has rolled out its annual health checkup for the herd, a process that has been going strong since the 1970s. According to the City of Fort Worth, the Nature Center's dedicated staff provided the 16-strong bison herd with routine physical exams and vital vaccinations. These majestic beasts even had new calves fitted with microchips, ensuring they could easily be identified.
As detailed by City News, the November operation results from a team's well-oiled machine at work. Using utility vehicles and a lot of careful herding on foot, the staff move the bison into holding areas before they face their checkups. And it's not just any old poke and prod. The Friends of the Fort Worth Nature Center & Refuge support these services. With the expertise of a Millsap Veterinary Clinic vet at the helm, Fort Worth's favorite giants are in capable hands.
While witnessing bison being wrangled and examined may sound like an enticing day out for the public, the event maintains a strict 'no visitors' policy.
