[Ditter]

I read a story someplace about a woman who put her pet buffalo up for sale. It was a house pet and there were pictures of the animal inside her house. I would like to have a pet buffalo but I don’t want it in my house.

A family friend raised buffalo for many years until he died at a ripe old age. I do not know what members of the herds that roam the wilds of Yellowstone are like. But our friend's buffalo were more respectful of fences and visitors than our cattle were.

My wife's dad worked on her grandparents farm until he joined the army in the late 1930s. Her dad had pictures of him standing next to bison pulling large farm wagons on the farm when he was growing up. When my wife was growing up her teacher didn't believe her when she told her teacher that they used domesticated bison as work animals. Her dad took the pictures to school to show my wife's teacher and tell the kids about the bison. My wife's brother has the pictures these days.
