Buddy the Beefalo

Okay kiddo, let's talk about Buddy the Beefalo. A beefalo is an animal that is part cow and part buffalo. Buddy is a special beefalo because he was living on a farm in Connecticut but one day he decided to run away.

Buddy was living on the loose in the woods for about 8 months. During that time, some people tried to catch him but he was too scared and ran away. Eventually, a man named Frank found Buddy and became friends with him.

Frank would bring food and water for Buddy every day and even made him a special shelter to sleep in. Buddy liked Frank so much that he would follow him around like a puppy.

Lots of people started to hear about Buddy and his story became famous. People all over the world wanted to know about this special animal.

Eventually, Buddy had to leave the woods and go to a new home. He now lives on a farm in Colorado where he has lots of room to run and play. He even has new cow and buffalo friends to hang out with.

So, that's the story of Buddy the Beefalo. Even though he's a mix between a cow and a buffalo, he's still a special and lovable animal.
