The best thing about this city and the surrounding areas is that you’re never really surprised at what happens. For example, yesterday in Montgomery County, a bunch of buffalo were loose along Cowpath Road.
Now, does that surprise anyone? Sure, who even knew that there were buffalo in this area, even on farms, but, that’s right, a herd of buffalo was loose yesterday.
The owner of the buffalo couldn’t be reached for comment, but it seems their roaming was not accidental:
Franconia police Officer Albert Gesullo said the herd seemed to stick together and was relatively calm at first. But as word got out and news choppers began circling, the buffalo became excited.
“Once they get going, you just get out of the way,” Gesullo said. “We had helicopters overhead and they started running around. We had to call the news crews and get them to move away. It’s not everyday you see buffalo running around here.”
Hillside Farms, which had been in Schuler’s family since the 1940s, raises American Bison and sells buffalo meat at the farm and Saturdays at the Doylestown Farmers Market. It also raises Paso Fino horses and Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs. Earlier this summer, Hillside Farms provided Harleysville’s Vernfield Station Restaurant with the meat for its “Buffalo Bonanza,” a fourcourse buffalo dinner.
You see, the buffalo didn’t get loose, they were escaping death. See, now it makes even more sense!
