If there’s a buffalo heaven, it must be a vast grassland pocked with Oreo cookie bushes beside streams foaming with German beer. They were Cody’s favorites.
Cody, the All-American buffalo born on July 4, 1987, and raised by Minnesota ranchers for a life of travel and fame — highlighted by a starring role in “Dances With Wolves” — died Thursday from complications of kidney failure.
He was 19, not bad for a breed more likely to be processed into steaks, burgers and jerky by the age of 2. “About two weeks ago, he stopped finishing his feed,” said Valerie Shannon. She and Mike Fogel kept Cody at their Money Creek Buffalo Ranch near Houston, Minn.

In addition to appearing in “Dances With Wolves” — he was the charging buffalo “shot” by Kevin Costner as it thundered toward an unhorsed Indian boy — Cody also appeared in the film “Radio Flyer,” on TV with Jay Leno and in several commercials. Last spring, he traveled with Fogel to the U.S. Mint in Washington, D.C., to celebrate the unveiling of a new buffalo-head nickel.
