Baby buffalo join herd in Hays

? Visitors have been flocking to see two baby buffalo that have joined a Hays herd. The first female calf was born May 19 and the second on Friday.

Elementary students who participated in a naming contest dubbed one of the calves Shyla and the other Sunflower.

The superintendent of the city parks department, Travis Haines, says traffic to the buffalo site has been heavy. The site is located near the U.S. 183 bypass.

And visitors will soon have more to see. Another calf is expected to be born soon.

But Haines says the calves must be sold as soon as they are old enough to prevent inbreeding.
