2018 Latest Arrivals
Photos by Jill O'Brien
This past week our first buffalo calves arrived on the Cheyenne River Ranch! It is always such an exciting time. A time that is full of hope and possibilities, making one believe that our mission of prairie regeneration can continue to grow. Here are a few photos, with brief explanations.
After the mother cleans the calf, she encourages it to get up right away. The new calf will be up and on the move within two hours of it being born.
The rest of the herd is close by relaxing in the spring weather, with the buffalo birds twittering (my kind of twitter) all about with excitement.
You can find the story "Regeneration" of my experience watching a baby bison be born here, with more photos of the buffalo herd and the newcomers.
Great folks (and even better neighbors) that run first class operation! Love to see those calves coming!
The pictures of the new babies are just precious. One day we hope to visit your ranch and see them up close and personal.
In light of the recent upheaval at your home, I hope this will be a time of regeneration for you as well. Wishing you and yours (which includes the herd) the very best!
