When do bison breed?

Bison typically breed during the late summer and early fall, with the peak breeding season occurring from July to September.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

* Males: Bulls reach sexual maturity at around 2-3 years old, but often don't breed until they're older and establish dominance within a herd.

* Females: Cows reach sexual maturity at 2 years old and typically give birth to a single calf after a gestation period of about 9 months.

* Factors affecting breeding: Factors like weather, food availability, and herd size can influence the timing and intensity of breeding season.
