Buffalo herd fuels Philmont Boy Scout ranch dining
At Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico, 15,000 youngsters each summer can dine on buffalo meat from the ranch herd, the largest in the Southwest. The herd, started by Waite Phillips in the late 1920s, numbers about 200 with 73 calves born this spring. Buffaloes, once roaming the Great Plains, yield meat comparable to beef and pose challenges due to their wild nature.
