of a Legend
About 300 years ago estimates of 40 to 70 million American buffalo
roamed the North American continent. By 1880 records estimated only
1,000 buffalo remained.

"Miracle"
Indian legend says that a white female buffalo would be born
bringing in a new age of peace, understanding, and prosperity.
In 1994, a rare white female buffalo calf named Miracle was
born on a small Wisconsin farm. The mystique of this calf
made worldwide headlines, bringing more than 75,000 visitors
from around the globe to see Miracle within her first two
years of birth.
