 I think this one may be a cow/bison hybrid called a Beefalo. Either that, or it's young. It's certainly not as big as a full grown Bison.

It lives on a farm down the street from me.

PP - opened in LR, brightened, increased texture and clarity, opened in PSE, cloned out some flies, dodged catchlights, unsharp mask

Note to SC in case this needs validation: ignore the panda file. I changed my submission after I had uploaded that original.
