The Buffalo Farm Project


     Throughout the years I have heard phrases like, "Nothing in life comes easy," "It take blood, sweat and tears to succeed," "There is no free lunch," or "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." These are some of the thoughts that have come to my mind as I have struggled to start the buffalo farm. I have purchased two buffalo but finding a place for them has not been easy. There were some circumstances that prevented me from putting the buffalo on my Mom's land as originally planned. The City of McAllen is rapidly growing and what used to be farmland has now become a small farm surrounded by four subdivisions and three schools. So after some research, the buffalo will be placed on a small parcel of land on a beautiful farm that I will rent about ten miles northeast of McAllen. I will be starting on the corral next week and prayerfully, within the next two to three weeks, the buffalo will have their new home. Keep this project in prayer. I feel that this is an important project as we seek ways to get back some of our traditional ways. Prayerfully, the next pictures will be of the buffalo in their new home. I am praying that this humble beginning will be the start of a greater dream to come. Thank you so much for your support and prayers. God bless.
