Those were taken on 14, near 212. And I think they are livestock buffalo cause they showed no fear at all, came close to the fence as I walked over to take pictures.

There's also a farmer near Hwy 7 outside of Cosmo that has Elk, will have to see if we can catch them close to the fence to take pictures.

I do agree, its really weird to see buffalo almost in town

There is one place with deer, too. I always feel bad because they look so bored & there seem to be so many in the pens.

Tatanka!

Buffalo are some fantastic creatures. It's a shame that commercial hunting almost drove them to extinction. There are an estimated few hundred Buffalo in the US and some have even been crossed with cows (beefalo). They won't attack a human unless they are provoked. If that happens good luck trying to outrun one, they can hit speeds of 35mph.
