Description
Buffalo Ranch (or it's replacement) just west of Afton Oklahoma on old Route 66, October 2016.

There is a small group (herd?) of bison, of about eight animals, in a securely fenced area on the property. This guy appears to be the boss.

There is an Internet article written by Steve Lackmeyer newsok.com/article/3068321 that was published June 20th 2007. I was trying to mine it for information, but I think it would be more informative if I just quoted relevant parts of the article here.

"The loss of the Buffalo Ranch hit in 1995 with the death of owner Aleene Kay. The building's contents were auctioned off, and the property sat empty while Wheatley continued to serve burgers at the Dairy Ranch. Her restaurant closed in 2001 due to her husband's declining health, and the entire property was razed soon after by new owners who replaced it with a new Buffalo Ranch. The property still hosts a few buffalo in an adjoining field, but otherwise the business resembles a modern truck stop."
