Bison at Hollow Hill

For ages 3-9 Ben is a baby buffalo that has been bottle fed at Hollow Hill Buffalo Farm. Read along and enjoy the adventure as this story explores his experiences as a newborn, herd member, and trophy-winning champion. Ben's home, Hollow Hill Farm, is nestled between the hills of Potts and Peters Mountain in a remote old railroad town called Paint Bank, Virginia. The buffalo farm began when owners had twenty-five buffalo trailered in from Ohio on a snowy Thanksgiving Day in 1989. Today the herd has grown to 250 and is a source of both pride and pleasure to the town and its thousands of visitors each year. There are more than 232,000 buffalo in private herds in the US and 150,000 in Canada today. The author makes frequent visits to Hollow Hill to visit her daughter and son-in-law, who manages the farm. Illustrator, Rose Dobbins, a self taught artist, enjoys doing portraiture work of pets and people. Her favorite mediums are pastels and oils. Originally from Calfornia, Rose moved with her husband Mel to WV after living in Texas for over thirty years. You can visit her web site at www.paintyourmemory.com
