Something new in meats which dates back to the day of the pioneers and the westward expansion is being offered this weekend by the Gillette Locker Plant. A 2-year-old buffalo was brought in from the Little Buffalo ranch owned by R.B. Marquiss and sons in the southern part of the county and the meat will be sold by the pound to the public. The common fare of the pioneers is a rare item for the modern day table, Larry O’Neal, owner of the locker plant, pointed out, and we are happy to be able to offer this limited supply.
