There's a Rare White Bison in Lolo
If you’re looking for a good omen in 2020, maybe you should head south to Lolo, where a rare white bison was born at the Bitterroot Bison Ranch.
According to the National Bison Association, just one out of every 10 million buffalo born are white. This occurrence is so rare, it was often considered sacred by Native Americans. According to the American Indian College Fund, many years ago a beautiful woman dressed in white appeared to some members of the Lakota tribe many years ago, promising an end to their starvation if they continued to follow the proper path while on earth. The woman disappeared and a white bison calf surrounded by a large herd of bison manifested before their eyes. Their hunger ended.
2020 is a year good news is rare and welcome. Bitterroot Bison is a grass-fed bison ranch, specializing in grass-fed meat, plus hides and skulls. The company owns 300 acres near highway 93 between Lolo and Missoula. If you get lucky, you’ll be able to see the white bison, a female born June 17, bobbing around in the field near the highway. Some drivers have even pulled over on the side of the road to watch the baby and take in something good from this strange year. The company warns drivers not to block their gate and to be careful on the side of the road.
