    Of course now that I'm determined to get a pic of the thing, it hasn't been visible from the road!

    saw a buffalo today (or bison, if you prefer) and some longhorn steer.
    Got about 5 feet from the buffalo (creeeepy), and the steer too (not as creeeeepy).

    Baby buffalo may be the cutest thing ever. I saw some in the fields of the LBJ ranch about a month ago.

    I am an Aggie but I dream of one day raising some Longhorn cattle. They are impressive animals!

    There were about 4 babies in the herd I saw, and yes, they are the most adorable creatures. Then again, all baby animals are adorable (bears, buffalo, tigers, lions) but they lose their cuteness when they grow up and can kill you. Did you know buffalo have humps to counterbalance their enormous heads and that they can run up to 40 mph? Neither did I.

    I actually think the adults are kinda cute in a "they're so ugly they;re cute" way.

    farm

    My auntie n uncle raise buffalo (in Alberta) & like most farms have feral cats. Whilst visiting them, they told us about how frightened the bison were of the cats! Hard to imagine but true!!!
