The Buffalo of Truchas, New Mexico

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.
