As the animals continue to reproduce, officials undergo an annual cull to keep the population under control.
The state of Montana, which has lands in Yellowstone, is strict about preventing bison from roaming freely outside of the park because much of the population has been exposed to brucellosis—a bacterial disease which can spread to cattle and other livestock.
