June 29: Aftermath of the 1957 Fargo Tornado
The Fargo newspaper headlines this week in 1957 concentrated on the devastating tornado that had leveled a large swath of the city only days before. An effort called “Operation Cleanup” was making progress with the damage caused by the twister that drilled through neighborhoods, especially the Golden Ridge area of North Fargo. On this date, the workers were hammered with rain during the daylight hours, but the dampness of the downpour did not deter the quest to aid their neighbors. It was a gargantuan task for the scores of overworked clean-up crews.

Selfridge Rancher Ernie Fischer says he traded a male calf for Beau, the five-year-old white male buffalo who was previously living at the zoo. He says it will help improve the diversity of the animals at the zoo and says the plan is to have Beau live out the rest of his days on the ranch. Beau is credited with breeding many cows and Fischer says the trade helps the zoo change up the genetics of future cows.
