Bison Behavior, Honda "Roundup"

It's great to have a home where the buffalo roam--not to far though. The first buffalette or Jr. arrived today. Might be a little early usually in May June . But, is it an indication of a drought continuing?the calf seems normal weight and the mama cows survived on wheat straw and prairie hay not very green.

Two days before this weather change to a super cold the herd bull sponsored a wild west show by herding all the other animals into a freak out. This is the first time I observed the antic of gougeing the land and circle the wagons (all the buffaloes) The flag tails were up . Sometime in the night they all crashed out of the container. At Noon the next day I found them at rest cudding a half mile away. I circled them and lreturned to the pen. The lead bull followed the Pied Piper Honda and returned thru the pen gates as if to apologize for prior antics.
