Calving season is on us ... and no matter how many years; no matter how many newborns I see, it never ceases to fill me with wonderment.
These are all about two weeks old. Born at around 25 pounds and orange/blond. They will brown up around 4 - 5 months of age
So few people still alive have seen the beauty and grace of bison calves; just thougth you might like to share the moment.
If you would like more calf pictures, let me know and I will post some from prior years.

Frequently Asked Questions
|
Are you ready to touch one of the softest fibers ever?
The shaggy mantle of the buffalo is composed of four different types of guard hair and the beautiful down that is nestled beneath the coarser hairs. The softness, fineness and strength of the down class it as one of the world’s premier luxury natural fibers
American Bison down has an unmatched beauty and touch, and has become more commercially available as the bison herds have grown. Separating the wonderful down from the guard hair is a challenge, as is creating the roving, clouds, batts and superior yarns from the dehaired down that are a joy to spin, knit and weave. While others shear the hair off of the hide, or use shed hair sloughed after the winter, our naturally derived process of separating the hair from the hide leaves the entire fiber and structural integrity maintained.
It is this combination of painstaking unhairing and "hands on" processing that that makes "Buffalo Gold" brand fibers distinctly different from any other bison down product on the market today.

Buffalo Gold is now a
“Shopatron.Com” branded product manufacturer:
Not familiar with Shopatron? Let me explain.
To be fair to the network of recognized retailers and local yarn stores that sell our products, last year we at Buffalo Gold committed to only selling our products through them…not to sell directly to the public as a retailer. Yet we keep getting people who want to buy our yarns and products off of our web site. So, Shopatron solved the problem. .
What is Shopatron?
Shopatron is a nationwide network of branded manufacturers and local retailers. The Shopatron network was developed to allow customers to order products online directly from the manufacturers Web site.
How does it work?
Once you place your order, it is matched to the nearest authorized retailer with the items in stock and shipped within one business day. This system supports local retailers while providing consumers with excellent customer service and prompt shipping.
Why Shop with Shopatron?
When you shop at an online store powered by Shopatron, you are guaranteed to receive authentic merchandise from an authorized retailer.
It’s working for Panasonic, Calloway Golf, Abu Garcia, Lantern Moon, Louet, Classic Elite Yarns, and HeartStrings Fiber Arts …just to name a few. Check it out for yourself. It works ... and you don't even know it's there!!
p.s. and while you are at it, check out the stunning beaded buffalo socks Jackie E.S. created just before the Long Beach TNNA show!! The picture and pattern are on her HeartStrings Fiber Arts site.
