			The '''Canton of Bofharrach''' was a branch of the [[Society for Creative Anachronism]] (SCA) in the [[Kingdom of the Outlands]], located mundanely in Greeley, Colorado. Bofharrach was one of the largest cantons in the Outlands geographically, covering nearly all of Weld County. The group was active through the 1990s and 2000s before dissolving in 2014.

	[[Category: Canton]][[Category: ~~Inactive~~]]		== Founding ==
			The canton was established in the early 1990s, during the tenure of [[Titus Claudius Severus]] and [[Hancarata Aethnen filia Cuneddae]] (called Llamrei) as Baron and Baroness of [[Barony of Unser Hafen\|Unser Hafen]]. It was created to recognize the activity and service of gentles in Greeley and to allow them more autonomy in hosting events. Members of Bofharrach were active both locally and within the barony, with former member [[Zachariah de Kane]] going on to serve as King.

			== Activities and Culture ==

			Many of Bofharrach's members displayed their affiliation with the canton by wearing black and white cow-print attire. The canton also had a significant presence among students at the University of Northern Colorado.

			=== Cattle Raid ===
			Bofharrach was perhaps best known for its signature event, the Cattle Raid, first recorded in the May 1997 edition of ''Windswept'' (the Windkeep newsletter). The event featured heavy weapons, fencing, archery, bardic fire, and even equestrian activities. It was hosted in Kersey, Colorado, on private pastureland, with multiple iterations held over the years. Members of the canton were humorously known for wearing cow-print garb and accessories at events, a playful nod to their agricultural surroundings.

			At some iterations of Cattle Raid, a playful rivalry between Bofharrach and the [[Canton of Hawks Hollow]] was a central theme. In promotional materials from the time, accusations are made that Bofharrach had stolen lands from Hawks Hollow and that they would be striking at Cattle Raid in revenge. The [[Shire of Windkeep]] was known to ally with Bofharrach at these events in exchange for dairy-based goods such as cheesecake and ice cream.

			=== Studium Generale ===
			The canton also hosted academic events, including '''Studium Generale''', a large collegium held at the University of Northern Colorado with over 40 classes across diverse tracks such as arts, sciences, combat, and daily life.
