State buffalo auction to resume after disease spread
CANTON, Kan. (AP) - The annual sale of buffalo is back on. A year ago, the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks' sale was canceled after the spread of an especially virulent disease that broke out in a wild buffalo herd in Kansas. The disease killed more than 50 of the roughly 200 buffalo at the state-owned Maxwell Wildlife Refuge near Wichita. Refuge officials spent thousands of dollars to rebuild the herd, which is healthy despite being smaller. The herd roams on the refuge's acreage north of Canton. The sale will be November 14th. The Department of Wildlife and Parks will sell just 35 animals.
