Wisconsin farm produces third white buffalo

[Sequoia]

MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin (AP) -- A farm in Wisconsin is quickly becoming hallowed ground for American Indians with the birth of its third white buffalo, an animal considered sacred by many tribes for its potential to bring good fortune and peace.

"We took one look at it and I can't repeat what I thought, but I thought, 'Here we go again,"' owner Dave Heider said.

Thousands of people stopped by Heider's Janesville farm after the birth of the first white buffalo, a female named Miracle who died in 2004 at the age of 10. The second was born in 1996 but died after three days.

Heider said he discovered the third white buffalo, a newborn male, after a storm in late August. Last weekend, about 50 American Indians held a drum ceremony to honor the calf, which has yet to be named, he said.

3. Odds and symbols

The chance of a white buffalo being born to a herd makes your odds of winning the lottery look good. The odds on a white buffalo, according to the numbers from the National Buffalo Association, is around 1 in 6 billion

And this farm has had three?

A wonderful symbol of rebirth, hope and unity
