There is a book about giving the Great Plains back to the Buffalo...

Well personally, I'd rather stick those buffalo asses up in New York and in Californiyah to replace the manifold horses asses to be found there.

The Great Plains are fine sans buffalo. It was the intent of the book writers that the Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and western Texas be included in the (are you ready for this?) "Buffalo Wallows".

No thanks.

The City Council of the City of Grand Prairie, Texas***************************AN EXCERPT ********************

c) Truman Middle School Junior Historians

Amy Sprinkles, Marketing Director, stated that no other area in the Metroplex has buffalo wallows preserved. They are located at the corner of Corn Valley and Freetown. Sculptures of buffaloes have been installed in the wallows as well as a historical marker. This area was part of the Galloway Farm, established in 1911, and this area was left uncultivated. The Housing Finance Corporation purchased the land in 2002 to build a senior citizen housing development (Mountain Creek Estates). Council Member Ruthe Jackson asked that the wallows be preserved and the HFC agreed.
