There are usually buffalo for sale at Oakcreek. The season of the
year affects what animals are available. For example, if you wish to
adopt young calves then you would expect to find them in early winter.
Most calves are born in April and May, and are not weaned before
December. If they are still with us in April, they are called yearlings.
Two year old animals may also be available for breeding or for meat.
The best thing is to call or write to discuss your interests.
We do not take young babes from their mothers to make bottle
babies, and its highly unlikely that such a young babe would lose its mother.
"Bottle babies" make nice pets for about 6 months. After that, you will
probably regret having the babe in your yard, and will be needing
to find a "home on the range" for it. Buffalo are very much a herd
animal. You should plan on having a minimum of 3 buffalo in your
"herd", and more would be better. It may be possible for us to sell
unrelated animals for breeding pairs, although such matches typically
sell quickly.
We invite you to visit our herd to find out if raising
buffalo is for you. Please do not feel this visit would obligate
you in any way to purchase animals. We like introducing people
to buffalo and you would find it to be an enjoyable experience.
The buffalo like the company also, as they look forward to
treats being given to them by visitors. We will be happy
to discuss fencing, animal
health, breeding and similar subjects, and can also refer
you to other sources of
information. We look forward to hearing from you!
