The squeeze chute used to immobilize the bison was conceived and constructed by Jean-Luc Bédard, a renowned wapiti breeder. This cage has unique characteristics that let the bison feel secure while restrained, and it is also makes the person handling the animal feel safe. Furthermore, a hydraulic system allows quick and easy manoeuvring of the cage for the gathering, restraining and releasing of the animals.

The pastures are subdivided into many smaller plots, size varying between six and eight hectares. Pasture rotation assures optimal use by the animal. Upon moving the animals to a new pasture, the pasture harrow is used for a better preventive control of parasites.

The respective winter pastures of the male and female are where the bison stay from fall to the following spring. This allows for the management of waste conforming to environmental standards while preserving the soil during the frost period in the fall and during spring thaw.

The pastures are surrounded by fencing of 1.8 metres. An electric wire is installed one metre above ground for better control of the animals.
