Buffaloes Are Back on the Plains by the beginning of the 20th Century Bison were Al most extinct in this country. Roy Houck says there were than Buffalo left in the United states by 1900. Houck is a past president of the National Buffalo assn., which has grown to include More than 400 Buffalo breeders. The association publishes its own periodical Buffalo in Hermosa s. D. According to Houch it is estimated that there Are now More than Buffalo with the Lar Gest herds being raised privately for Sale As meat. Some Dakota Indian reservations Pine Ridge lower b r u 1 e and the Cheyenne River reservation Are also getting into the Buffalo Busi Ness. Elsewhere indians have also begun raising Buffalo near red Rock okla., and in Montana. Large scale Buffalo ranch ing became possible Only in recent years Houck said As a surplus of Buffalo grew up on Western Federal and state Buffalo ranges and excess Stock began to be sold. Before that ranchers could t have raised Buffalo if they had wished because there was no place to obtain the beginnings of a Herd. Buffalo considerably larger and faster than cattle Are Able to run at speeds up to 35 . Because of their size and Speed the Buffalo does t respect a Jerry Houck said As he drove his pickup truck though one Clu s Buffalo herds. The Houcks tried Herdin of Buffalo from horseback but they found that four wheel drive pickups were much better for dealing with the animals. A Buffalo Bull can a review achieve a weight of More than a ton and a height of More than six feet. The Houcks do some Buffa 1 o herding and extensive checking of their far Flung herds by using a Light plane. What would Buffalo Bill have thought about herding Buffalo by one rancher asked. Buffalo do not like enclosures especially corrals. Buffalo kind of like to roam around More. You have to have a bigger place for explained Jerry Houck they can be mean to each other especially if they re but the Houcks in their Many years of raising Buffalo have never had anyone injured by them. Jerry Houck s daughters aged 11 and 13, help with the Buffalo. It takes a lot of provoking to get a Buffalo going. Cattle will Chase you faster than a Buffalo you re fixed to run Buffalo they take care of said Jerry Houck. But it takes a larger investment to Start partly because much stronger fences Are required on a Buffalo ranch. Once these initial invest ments Are paid for ranchers say it is no More expensive to raise Buffalo than cattle although they Are a Little harder to handle. And the rewards for Selling Buffalo meat Are much greater than Selling beef. Buffalo meat traditionally Sells for about 50 per cent More than beef and with a depressed livestock Market it is currently Selling for Al most double the Price of beef a Pound carcass weight. The Houcks also receive to for a prime Buffalo hide and about for a Good Bull the Houcks Slaughter the Buffalo on their ranch and put the Buffalo skulls outside for weeks to bleach. Buffalo hooves Are sometimes turned into Ash trays or lamps. For the Houcks also allow people to come to the ranch shoot their own Buffalo and keep the hide and Skull. If they want the meat they pay the Houcks the going rate per Pound. While Jerry Houek thinks Buffalo Are smart in being Able to take care of them selves la Adverse conditions he notes an exception if you go out and shoot one the others won t run off. That s Why the Hunters were Able to kill so Many of them so the customers for Buffalo Steak or Buffalo Burger in clude Chain stores restau rants and lodges As Well As individual Consumers. Buffalo breeders swear that Buffalo meat from the younger animals customarily Slaught ered has no wild Gamey taste and is higher i pro Tein and lower in cholesterol because it has less fat than beef.

Ivy Ronald Gibson there was a fair sized audience at the Winnipeg Art gallery on monday evening to hear a Spring concert by the Maple Leaf choir under direction of Muriel Waklie with Ross Houston As accompanist. The assisting artists were Barbara Lawlon and Jane Keimer duo pianists Tec voc handball ringers directed by Audrey Jones and the Donna Cove High land dancers. During this choir s life Span of some three or four years they have impressed with their finely textured Lone and excellent diction. Once More the diction was Crystal dear and most of the time the tone was impressive. On one or two occasions certain vowels like be and a were left uncovered perhaps due to the acoustics of the Hall which do not enhance the blend a n y sounds in ensemble. Pilch was on me whole excellent just marred by Sharp Ness due to pressing in the Scollish song Marie s wed Ding. Schubert s my flute and i needed just a bit More breadth in its phrasing while Handel s 0 Lovely peace was Well sustained but had some spread tone at limes. June magic by Spencer was very Well Sung and Ross Houston supported the singers very ably. Two songs by Thiman were quite successful but the two part song when Over sunlit paths was inclined to sound rather four Square. The Riskay Lovevill was the Best of Hie Folk song group and the Swiss song Emme Utal was very divert ing. The handball ringers a c o in p a n i e d it Wilh much Charm. The duo piano team played three items from Julia Smith s american dance suite. The playing was Well unified but the pianos were not matched in size so that the larger one triumphed. The handball ringers in the adagio from Beethoven s sonata opus 13 were most impressive in their unanimity and sensitively expressive playing. Only in the second episode was the Triplet Tex Ture momentarily in doubt but this performance gave much pleasure. Selections Sung and acted from Mary Poppins proved once More that few of these musicals when bereft of their glamorous sets and cos Tumes have much to offer musically.
