Why buy buffalo for Pine Ridge? *They help restore the native ecology of the area. They are a ‘keystone’ species that enhance the grasses over time and whose hooves aerate the soil. Other animals return as the land begins to flourish again. *Raising buffalos increases the self-sufficiency of the Lakota families and strengthens the extended family *Buffalos provide sustainable and equitable land utilization. benefit info: Marsha Sterling, 575-0222 buffalo info: [email protected]
