True enough, though, we didn't see them on this outing, and come to think of it, I don't think I have seen them around for awhile.

The bison seemed very mild, there was a kind of small stall or crush in their paddock, and they kept taking it in turns to go into it and stand there quite alone, as if they wanted some private space!<BR/><BR/>During the foot and mouth outbreak we heard that the entire collection had had to be destroyed, which seemed terrible.<BR/><BR/>Loved the 70s shop and bumper stickers, btw, especially the one about dyslexic devil worshippers!Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09764296105901909328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20402991.post-22258892835637190052008-07-10T22:00:00.000-07:002008-07-10T22:00:00.000-07:00meggie -- I too am glad that the bison are returni...meggie -- I too am glad that the bison are returning to the Plains, as long as people are leaving. <BR/><BR/>Tony -- Not in my living room except perhaps as a buffalo skin with all that lovely soft hair.Granny Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07302978680897139954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20402991.post-27242640242197245132008-07-10T17:37:00.000-07:002008-07-10T17:37:00.000-07:00Love the pictures of those great beasties.

Peter was a bit crazy and had his own buffalo herd which he sometimes let roam a little too freely. No body and I mean no body, likes a buffalo in the livingroom!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20402991.post-18462351490591883002008-07-10T14:56:00.000-07:002008-07-10T14:56:00.000-07:00I come to visit you, & often get led off along suc...I come to visit you, & often get led off along such interesting trails! <BR/>This is very interesting, about the buffalos, & I am glad they are returning on the plains.

From one point of view, it's very sad, the depopulation of the Plains, but then both sides of my family were very early out-migrants from the Dakotas.
