Hi Brian, Buffalo nearly became extinct before they finally decided to stop the killing of them. Now there are many large herds in many places across the west and some places in the mid-west. There are not nearly the large herds as there were so many years ago. They are a hardy beast ! The Buffalo is on the Wyoming state flag. Regards, Glenda >Hi Glenda, > >I've just been watching a TV programme about the building of the railway in >Wyoming.
