Same farm, same farm family, but oddly enough the two white buffalos are not related. Remember the White Buffalo ten years or so ago that brought us world peace? Well, [there’s a new one.](http://news.yahoo.com/s/wisc/20060913/lo_wisc/9834078) The last one worked so well. With this one, I’m hoping for a cure to cancer. ---

[They are not really that rare.](http://users.aristotle.net/~swarmack/bison.html) (Although they do tend to die off pretty rapidly.) We saw the one in Jamestown, ND a few years ago as we drove through. It is still living as far as I know.
