A bison normally would respect a fence unless he is pressured in such a way that he and the rest of his herd need to find some way to escape, or if he's alone in a pasture and is desperate to get to his herd which is on the other side of the fence. A bison will even wreck a solid board fence in a bison handling facility if he can't see his herd-mates when being pushed through to the squeeze.

Does the weight of the shoe affect how far you jump?
For the same leg strength / jumping technique, weight affects how far one can jump.
Acceleration = Force / Mass
With more mass, you cannot accelerate yourself as much when you jump with the same force. Imagine trying to jump with a small backpack full of sand strapped to your back. Your strength hasn't changed. That is, the amount of force you can deliver hasn't changed, but your mass has. You can't jump as high.
