The beginning of bison breeding in 1865 in the Pszczyna forests was the exchange of twenty deer captured in the Pszczyna forests for four Białowieża bison (one bull and three cows), made between Jan Henryk XI Hochberg and Russian Tsar Alexander II.
In April, the animals were delivered by rail to the goods station of the Emanuelssegengrube mine in Murcky. From where they were transported to the Wygorzele forestry (Tych district) of the Murcki forest district and placed in a yard with an area of 2 ha, where they were fed with oats and hay. In order to improve the breeding conditions, a year later the animals were moved to the fenced game "Oberfosten" with an area of 600 ha.
Then, around 1891, the breeding was moved to the “Niederforsten” zoo in the Pszczyna forest district, where in a semi-free breeding farm with uncontrolled reproduction, European bison could move freely in the area of over 11,000 hectares of forests located between Jankowice and Cielmice. During that time, they were periodically fed in winter.
