Denver Parks & Recreation held its annual Bison Auction at Genesee Bison Ranch on March 6, 2020.
According to a press release from Denver Parks & Recreation, this year’s sale of thirty-five young bison raised $40,050. The annual auction keeps the herd’s population size at a healthy level. Funds from the sale help offset the general costs of managing and feeding the herd and “will assist Denver Parks and Recreation in maintaining infrastructure and conducting public outreach and education in its Mountain Park system.”
