A man in a navy shirt and white shorts uses a yellow hose to spray water on a young buffalo standing on grass, with water droplets splashing and trees in the background.

A muddy buffalo stands tied near a fence, while another buffalo nuzzles its head. Behind them, a herd of buffaloes grazes in a large dirt pen under a sunny sky with barns and mountains in the background.

We hope this message finds you basking in the last rays of summer sunshine, much like our dear Paulina, who’s been soaking up every drop of that Italian sun! It’s hard to believe, but it’s already been a couple of weeks since our last update, and wow, has our girl grown!

A man in a navy shirt is holding a yellow hose, spraying water on a small black cow standing on grass in a sunny garden. The cow is wet, and water is dripping from its face. Trees and bushes are in the background.

A young buffalo stands on grass in front of a trough, while a herd of adult buffaloes with large curved horns gather behind a fence in the background under a sunny sky.

First off, Paulina’s horns are now fully visible, standing proudly as she struts around the farm. She’s no longer just the baby of the bunch—she’s becoming quite the young buffalo, and it’s been amazing to watch her transform over these past few months.

A young black buffalo walks along a path toward a fenced enclosure where several adult buffaloes stand on dirt, with green grass and trees in the background.

But that’s not all that’s new with Paulina. She’s been making some new friends on the farm! She’s now spending a lot of time with the older buffaloes, learning from them, and finding her place in the herd.

A group of buffalo stands behind a metal fence, with one adult buffalo and a calf leaning close together in front. The calf has a pink, stringy substance hanging from its mouth. The sky is blue with some clouds.

A person gently touches the face of a black buffalo calf with an orange rope around its neck inside a sunlit, fenced outdoor area. The calf has a yellow ear tag labeled PAULINA.

And speaking of fitting in, Paulina has discovered a new favorite snack—corn! We’ve caught her happily munching on fresh corn cobs, savoring each crunchy bite.

Until next time, enjoy the last days of summer, and stay tuned for more updates on our beloved Paulina!
