White bison to stay at farm in western Conn.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — A white bison calf born two months ago will be staying put at its western Connecticut farm, which has become a destination for Native Americans and tourists eager for a glimpse of the rare animal.

The calf’s owner, Peter Fay, said it will live out its life at his Mohawk Bison farm in Goshen and will not be butchered like other bulls. He said in an interview that he received offers to send the animal elsewhere, but they were not seriously considered.
