BEEFALO?

Hasn't been much to take pictures of. Then I saw this buffalo, actually a Bison, but people call them buffalos. By the time I got to the camera to take it's picture, IT had layed down. I tried waving my hands & making noise, BUT NOT TOO LOUDLY, as there was only about 75' & 4 strands of barbed wire between me & it. Buffalo can charge as I saw that happen once in Indiana as I was taking a picture of a herd of them.
Only one more animal in the field & since this is definitly a bull, I'm taking for granted that since the 2 of them are within 50' of one another peacefully that the buffalo is a female & that they are trying to cross breed them to get Beefalo meat to sell. Beefalo meat is leaner & more healty for your body. I ate some once at Ocala Florida as a bowler I met there had a ranch of Beefalo. I don't remember if it tasted wild, but do remember it tasted dry.

Not much going on here. Won't be back into the campgrounds for another week. This weekend is supposed to be back up to 80. We've had some days 65-75 & nights in the 40's-65. Had a night of tornado watch & another evening of forest fires in the next county. I hear the miniture golf course is getting built here in the campground. Wish all is well till next time. Ron
