The Buffalo round-up

Matthew works for the state vet lab. Today I got to go on the a trip to Medicine Bow with him and his boss to get some buffalo. The vet lab is doing a research project on the buffalo. We got the buffalo from the Q Ranch. They have about 450 head of buffalo on the ranch and we were just getting about 14 of them. We ended up only rounding up 7 of them, and the rest of them got away. Buffalo are quite a job to round up and stay where you want them too, because they would jump right through the fences. But we had a great day spending it together, and it was great to go to work with Matthew for the day.
