Junior the Buffalo

Junior the Buffalo is the former quinary antagonist from Disney's Home on the Range. He is voiced by Lance LeGault.

Personality
Junior is very serious-minded and doesn't take kindly to trespassers, namely those who are not "cows," according to him. He talks in a deep, ominous voice and tries to maintain his composure. He also apparently has a crush on Mrs. Calloway, as he is seen complimenting her hat in a flirtatious manner.

Home on the Range
Junior is Alameda Slim's gentlemanly "steed." Unusual for a villain's sidekick, he is portrayed as neither good nor bad, simply doing his job. He is very polite to cows and even flirts with Mrs. Calloway upon seeing her. Being a buffalo and not a cow, Junior is immune to Slim's yodeling just like Grace. He also tires of Buck's arrogance when the horse attempts to get through the mine's entrance, despite Junior saying, "Cows only."

Later in the film, Maggie, Mrs. Calloway and Grace show up along with Lucky Jack (a jackrabbit who helped the cows reach Echo Mine), and Junior lets them all pass. When Buck questions Junior about this, the buffalo states, "They're cows," and when Buck brings up the rabbit, Junior replies, "Well, obviously, he was with the cows." Buck tries convincing Junior that he was with the cows too, but to no avail.

Sometime later, when Buck gloats after tricking another horse into leaving his post so he could get back with Rico, he is overheard by Junior who snorts angrily, as the buffalo had been right behind him. Junior is later seen chasing Buck around Echo Mine. He is shown to be immensely strong and survives a considerable fall after the cows inadvertently push him down the mine shaft.

At the end of the movie, Junior has left the services of Alameda Slim (since Slim is in jail) and arrives at Little Patch of Heaven, where he courts Mrs. Calloway. He also dances with all the other farm animals as they celebrate Pearl's farm being saved and re-opened.

Trivia

 * Junior is similar to Rico in that they both have deep, ominous voices and are completely obedient.
 * When Junior gets pushed and falls down the mine shaft, his yell is supplied by the classic Goofy holler sound effect.
