Drawbacks of a neighbourly Buffalo

28 November 2011

This boy is a friend of ours with his Uncle's pet Buffalo. It was a little playful thing when young. Now it is a huge playful thing! Recently, they were told by Council that it couldn't live at their house any more. They took it out bush and have tried to settle him out there. I must admit I am relieved that we no-longer have a buffalo for a neighbour over our back fence – his horns were getting pretty long and he was escaping through the fencing! Also, being down-wind of his deposits was unfortunate.
