being the only woman in the world
who owns herd of buffaloes. There
are 100 in the herd, more than half of
which are pure bred, the remainder
being "cataloes," as cross between
a buffalo and Galloway cow is
called. The cataloes have the same
hump as the buffaloes, and shaggy
hair, but their color varies from jet
black to light brown, and they are
most readily distinguished from the
pure bred by their horns, which are
longer.
