Where the Buffalo Roam

By mid September, six buffalo will be roaming on the west side of Eola Road - a strange sight for the "city slicker" or even for the "country folk" in this area.

Two mothers (they're called cows, I'm told), two daughters of the mothers (yearling heifers), one baby boy (bull calf), an undetermined child (one of the mothers is "in a delicate condition"!) and one father husband (referred to as a buffalo bull - not to be mistaken for Buffalo Bill!) will be attracting attention from everyone passing by.

It is expected that this new NAL family will be shipped from Longmount, Colorado, all in September and will be setting up housekeeping in a fenced-in area near the Laboratory Village. The head of the household recently starred in a Frontier Day Parade at Cheyenne, Wyoming, where more than 200,000 people watched him behave like the gentleman he is!
