Driver Cody Barker, his wife, daughter and daughter were traveling south on U.S. 89 in the cab of a 1982 International cattle truck. According to reports from the Utah Highway Patrol, Barker could not get the truck stopped at the intersection when the light turned red and swerved to avoid hitting another vehicle. The weight of the cattle apparently shifted, causing the truck to roll over and all 12 cows were thrown out onto the road. Barker and his family all were buckled in and escaped injury. No one required medical attention. I guess it was an exciting ride, probably one they couldve done without, Gregory said. They were lucky. The cows, too.

Buffy is with Buckway because he was found to be abandoned during the annual fall round-u- p done at Antelope Island two years ago. Buckway brought Buffy home on Halloween night and has been the owner of this male buffalo ever since.
