      between towering bluffs along the Mississippi River, Buffalo Ridge Ranch 
      presents a idyllic picture as you wind your way down into the secluded valley. 
      But don't let this picturesque setting fool you. Located among the tranquility 
      of 160 acres, Gary Lenz owns a state-of-the-art facility in which he raises 
      buffalo, longhorn cattle, and elk. "I really got into it as a hobby," 
        Gary says with a smile, "they are such majestic creatures and I thought 
        it would be fun. It wasn't until after I became more involved that I realized 
        the demand for the meat products. Now it's become a business." |
