BISON RANCHER QUESTIONS HORNS

  A Saturday, May 1st article in the Kansas Star cites
  a bison rancher's complaint about the proposed design
  for the Kansas quarter.

  "The state animal will need a little cosmetic surgery if it's
  chosen as the design for the Kansas quarter."

  "In the design, the animal's horns point forward. A real
  bison's horns point up.

  "This my pet peeve about artists," former buffalo rancher
  Don Carbaugh said. "They assume buffalo have horns like
  cattle. But they're built differently."

  "But if the error isn't corrected, he said, "It'd just be an
  embarrassment. They'll probably turn into a collector's item.
  They sure screwed up there."
