Bison, Wild Pigs and Mountain Goats! Sewell Valley Game Farm

I love it when we can find the perfect activity to do with our out of town guests! Our "city-folk" friends were up for a visit with their children. They live in a big southern city and this was their first trip to the north.

On Sunday, after a leisurely start to the day, we piled in the vehicle and headed out to the Sewell Valley Game Farm about a half hour drive north of Dawson Creek. I had thought ahead and made an appointment for our visit.

What a treat to watch the kids meet the baby animals. We saw young fallow deer, wild boars, bison and a mountain goat and lots of other animals. Our 2 legged 'kids' met their 4 legged 'kids'.

The farm is amazing. Clean and organized, the owners obviously take their role as caretakers very seriously. The animal's environments seem well designed for comfort. All the animals are the picture of health and seemed to have names and a story.

My favorite was seeing a large herd of bison with their young grazing peacefully in a field. It was a flash back to the times when they roamed free.

When we finally had to leave, my friend bought a necklace made from an antler in the gift shop and I bought some bison meat to barbecue that night for dinner.

It was a great day! Our friends really enjoyed themselves.
