Cherokee has grown up to be a beautiful bison and any bull should be proud to have her. We figured if she never had a calf, that she could just be the Hawk Shadow Farm mascot. Well...
Brian, Cherokee, & newborn Dakota.
I guess Joker really liked Cherokee alot, because on September 12, 2007, Dakota was born. We went out to feed and there was Cherokee with the new arrival all dried off and clean as a whistle. He is the prettiest buffalo I have ever seen.
Dakota & Cherokee September 13, 2007
Well I guess she likes "normal" bulls, because Dakota's sire is our Texas Longhorn bull, Joker. We can't wait to see what he looks like when he grows up. Right now he looks like he'll be more like a buffalo/bison. A spotted one at that!!
Dakota 4 days old in this picture.
We have sold Dakota and Cherokee is for sale too. Cherokee has been sold. She has gone to a great home with other buffalo. She is a great mom and loves to babysit the other calves. She is five years old.
This picture is Dakota in February 2008. He is now a black and white spotted longhorn/buffalo cross.
