[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2457070, member: 30902"] Those are free ranging animals from root stock that was released hundreds of years ago. So many of the high fenced places in Texas have gone bankrupt over the years with their fences down for months or years at a time we've got all sorts of exotics free ranging over about half of the state. Long before the first high fence places was even an idea there were quite a few very wealthy land owners on the state that imported exotics from all over but especially Africa and Europe and they just turned them loose. Those that were already adapted or whom adapted quickly enough managed to survive, those who didn't died out. Even up here in N. Texas there's a bunch of free ranging Aoudad and more than a few Red Deer that had been originally introduced on the 6666's, PItchfork, Wagoner, and Lamb's head more than a hundred years ago. We have the same situation in SW Texas. The bulls pictured came from Argentina where they were introduced into the wild in 1906 and New Zealand where they were introduced into the wild around 1852.
