The Fermilab bison herd was established in 1969[1] at the U.S. national laboratory in Batavia, Illinois, about 34 mi (55 km) west of Chicago, under the leadership of physicist, amateur architect and Wyoming native Robert R. Wilson.[2] The herd grazes an 800-acre (320 ha; 3.2 km2) pasture[3] adjacent to the Fermilab prairie, which sits atop the accelerator's underground Main Ring and Tevatron.[4][5] The herd usually averages around 25 individuals;[6] as of spring 2022, the head count of the herd was 32 individuals.[7]
