THINGS TO THINK ABOUT
What do our horses and cattle eat? Where do we get their food? What do wild cattle and horses eat? See if you can find out whether wild cattle or horses have ever lived in a place where the ground is covered with snow part of the year.
Did you ever see cattle pawing the ground? Did you ever see horses pawing the ground? Did you ever see them paw the snow?
See if you can find out something about the great herds of bison that used to live in this country. What has become of them?
Can you think why bison live in herds? What officers does a herd of bison have? Can you think how the officers of a herd of bison are chosen?
