Home, Home on the Range!

(in Southern Saskatchewan)

My cousin's neighbour raises bison/buffalo. We were able to get close to the ones in the paddock. (That farmer uses the words "bison and buffalo" interchangeably.)

Many buffalo were further out in the grasslands. A few hours after we had left the area, the farmer came looking for us because one of the bison was about to calve and he wanted to show us. That would have been quite the experience to witness!

We thoroughly enjoyed seeing fields of Prairie Grassland that have never been plowed! A few plants were blooming including Common Gaillardia.
