Don’t be buffaloed

The Texas Bison Association is staging its fifth annual Expo today at Stockyards Station in Fort Worth. Whether you are a bison rancher or just plain curious, you can attend seminars on raising bison given by Texas bison-industry exhibitors, see the World Championship Buffalo Burger Challenge and more. And in case you’re about to ask, the association says buffalo and bison are interchangeable. 940-594-1169; www.texas bison.org.
