Buffalo, like most other big-game animals, thrive best where not closely confined. Large, open, grass pastures with a plentiful supply of clean, fresh water are best for their needs. Although shade may not be an absolute survival requirement, when shade is available bison herds may spend many midsummer hours in it. Also, the presence of trees or large rocks adds to their well-being by providing rubbing and scratching sites.
