Buffalo once again on Tarbone Ranch

 Moxy is watching me  from the front seat of our truck as the buffalo are loaded. They are shaking the truck all around.
Thanks Don and Dede for letting us use your trailer.  Dinner is on us!!
Mt Sheridan, Mt Poco and Tarbone Mountain are on the horizon as we are
releasing the Buffalo on Tarbone Ranch.  What a glorious day...
Tah Da Ke Boom Eek Ka Oop.
 


 it was raining when Ken opened the trailer door.  I'm backing up as he turned and stared me down...Okay I'll give you space..
The next day, the new herd has settled down on their new home.
As you can see things are starting to turn green.  They are enjoying the sunshine and cooler weather.  We have two mature bulls, one yearlng bull and two pregnant cows.  Or at least we hope the females are mommas with babies...
 Saddle Mtn is peaking up over the horizon.  Tarbone Ranch heals under the hooves of the new bison right where their ancestors called home many moons ago.
Our lone surviving Buffalo, October was in front of the house when we got home from the auction. Some of her wounds looks better, others not so good. It was her right side that was burned. She lost her right eye for sure. Now I see open wounds on her belly.. Days like this when I see different wounds makes my heart ache....Please say a little prayer for her... We bought more buffalo today, I was so excited about her seeing them and having a herd once again..
May the spirit of the buffalo give her the strength to heal and move with the rest.

The new bison look pretty happy to be there. I'm glad it worked out so that you could have some, and I'm sure it will help October(soon to be November) feel better.

Wishing you the best and sending warm thoughts to you and all the animals. May the warm sun heal your little buffalo and the green grass feed her and may our prayers be swept to the heavens by the winds of the Wichitas.
Prayers to Heal The Earth
"This is the Earth, healed again, growing green and blue. I want you to remember this exactly as it is, and then go and tell the people that if enough of us hold this image in their minds, we can heal the Earth and make it like it was a long time ago." Grandfather Rolling Thunder
In 1997, shortly before his passing, Grandfather Rolling Thunder, the beloved Cherokee Medicine Elder, gave the above instructions to one of his students, Sun Eagle. In following Grandfather's words, we join people of all races and spiritual denominations in sending prayers of healing to the Earth.
