You can raise them like steers, but the fences have to be much stronger, and they have a bit of an attitude problem. There's a local farm (in Bremen, IN)that raises them for meat. A couple got out one year and they couldn't herd them back into the pen. They were able to keep them confined to a neighbors field tho, using horses and 4-wheelers. They had to wait for the meat inspector to show up before they could shoot them, or they couldn't have sold the meat.
IIRC, bulls will get over 2,000#.
Are we talking about the bison or the bears here?
