The Buffalo of Truchas, New Mexico

July 17, 2012 by Jeane George Weigel

Jerry and Camilla Lopez raise buffalo and yak here in Truchas. They do this simply for the joy of it and because they look so great on the land. My friend, LaShanda Epp, is part of the Lopez family and she took Kim and me out to visit the animals the other day. The buffalo are on the family ranch and the yak are out on the llano so she escorted us to both locations. Here are some photos of our visit to meet the buffalo:

I’ll post photos of the yak on Thursday.

Love to you all,
Jeane

    Are all the Buffalo gentle that they have?  Wonderful flowers in the fields where they were roaming:) LOVELY, thanks Jeane.

       Yes, they really are. The herd was much larger when I first met them and there were several calves and a huge bull. We had to be careful then, but they still loved their vitamin cubes.

About High Road Artist IMG 9461 150x150I am Jeane George Weigel, a working artist living in the mountains of northern New Mexico, and I do not think you and I are so different.

Every single one of us longs to know what we ache for, to “follow our bliss” as Joseph Campbell famously put it. You may find yours as an artist, a writer, or a teacher. But I am convinced we all yearn to live what is in our hearts. Some of us spend a lifetime discovering what that is. Some never find it.

This blog is about a journey of self-discovery, yours and mine. I write about the experience of living an artist’s life and share musings and photos as this living experiment unfolds. It is my hope you’ll join in the conversation by writing to me about your lives and I dearly hope something, here, will inspire you.
