 
Why the Golden Buffalo?
NO, we are not University of Colorado fans!
We chose the "Golden Anniversary Buffalo" design to coordinate with the 50th Anniversary Celebration of Beale Professional Services which begins in September 2004. The Golden Buffalo is part of an awareness and fund raising program, www.spiritofthebuffalo.org, initiated by the Nature Conservancy of Oklahoma to preserve Oklahoma's natural attributes
Where in the world is the Beale Buffalo now?
In 2006, Beale Professional Services donated their 50th Anniversary buffalo to the town of Buffalo, OK. Artist Stan Herd www.stanherdart.com graciously donated his time to give the buffalo a new look. On September 30, Buffalo's new buffalo, renamed "Spirit", was featured in the town's homecoming parade. Here, you see Dick and Leah Beale riding down Main Street with Spirit in the parade.
Later that day, Spirit was officially dedicated to his new post outside City Hall, by the Mayor of Buffalo, Meryl Keding. Mayor Keding honored Dick Beale?s gift by presenting "Buffalo Beale" a plaque and the key to the town of Buffalo.
