Iirc a lot of the farmed bison is from bison that we hybridized with cows. So not technically the same as wild bison

That's true, although some groups are trying to preserve non "cattle ingressed" bison. Like these guys: https://americanprairie.org/

Yeah there's a small (5-7 bison) farm near me that uses telephone poles as fence posts, with metal fencing wrapped around 12 feet up (4m).

It has serious Jurassic Park vibes
