Craigslist Buffalo

Not horse related, but pretty interesting ad, original here:

"We have decided to sell our herd bull. He's huge. I don't know how to score buffalo, I just know he's a huge one and would look very impressive on someone's wall.

He took 2nd place last year and he was bigger then the 1st place bull but the 1st place bull hadn't started shedding his winter coat yet so he looked better.

He has gotten too dangerous for me to have around anymore though so it's time for him to be mounted. He can lift a 1200lb round bale of hay with me on top of the bale (which is another 230 lbs) with one horn and shake the crap out of my tractor in the process.

He's $2900 with meat or $2500 without meat. I did some looking online and that's about half what a person would pay through an outfitter.

He's big and tough and VERY dangerous so I'm not loading him to take him anywhere. That would be the buyers responsibility. I'll take him to our local custom butcher for whoever buys him. He can be bow hunted if you want but I would prefer a good clean rifle kill. If he's shot with a bow and decides to go through my fence, the customer is responsible for the fence repair. A bow hunter would have to sign a liability waiver, provide proof of life insurance and whatever else our attorney recommends before setting foot in his field. I personally wouldn't want to be that close to him, even in a tree.

That being said the long and short of it is he's huge, mean, fast and would look very good on the wall.

He's the one on the right in the picture.The cow on the left is 30 feet closer then him and appears the same size, that's how big he is and as you can tell, he's not happy about me being that close to his cows and I'm 80 feet away with high fence between me and him concealed behind a telephone pole."
