For many years, I have, and I am sure a lot of you have done the same. Driven on the #9 Highway traveling to Calgary or points west and noticed the large herd of buffalo at Morrin Corner. I often stopped and took photos of them, one afternoon this old bull was close to the fence having a discussion with another bull on the south side of the highway.
The gentleman who owns the land and the buffalo purchased his first 25 animals in 1995 and has now grown his herd to 145 cows and bulls. The buffalo are less work and net more money in the bank than cattle do, he also has tours of the farm and buffalo for tourists and enjoys telling his stories about Peter Fidler's trip from where Red Deer is now, to where Drumheller is now with many stops in between to observe the buffalo. It is worth while to stop and check out the buffalo at Morrin Corner.
I can't help but stare at them when I see them, they are cool. There is a farm near me that has a herd of white buffalo.
