Buffalo Surplus May Go to Municipal Use Under 1920s Act
The agricultural act allows the Secretary of Agriculture to donate surplus American buffalo from government herds to municipalities and public institutions, with one animal per entity and no direct gifts to individuals. The program aims to bolster the species with at least 1,000 head and to enable exchanges with other owners, as buffalo numbers rise to about 7,000 in North America, concentrated in a few government herds including Yellowstone and the Wichita National Forest herd.
