Some came from the east and some came from the west. Both had different ideas on foods. Darwin said the fit won. He did, I didn't. Evidence says he was right. It would be interesting to know the average age of life expectancy before the Europeans arrived and after.....today. Buffalo meat with natural medicine VS corn fed beef and modern medicine.

Go ahead rub it in. I love buffalo. I could take my 300 weatherby to Golden Gate park and get me one! Yeah maybe not. No cancer puuhhlease. Cancer is gene mutation don't need a virus for that. When you have an isolated group of individuals for many generations natural selection is going to clean up the weakones.

Free range buffalo are much more healthy and their meat is more expensive but worth it, both in taste and quality.

Ask before you buy if the buffalo has been confined prior to slaughter.

There was no cancer in the America until the Europeans arrived...diets of native plants and animals made a much healthier people...aho

back in the 1980's my grandad got this idea. he was going to buy some buffalo out in Colorado, and bring them back to South Carolina, breed them with cows, and make some Beefalo.

so he and my uncles drove out there, picked up some Buffalo, and brought them back. When they let the Buffalo out of the trailer, into the pasture, he takes off running, over a hill, out of sight.

a few seconds later, the buffalo comes charging back over the hill at full speed, and rams head-first into an aluminum barn. he pierces through the metal, half in the office, half in the pasture. (I believe he bled to death, stuck on the pierced metal.)

A few of the buffalo didn't commit suicide, and were successfully bred with bovines. Unfortunately, their offspring proved to be sterile, so the project was a failure. This did result in a few years where our freezer was stocked full of frozen buffalo and beefalo.

Thus went the story of the Beefalo.

That cross is sterile. You have to keep one buffalo bull with some good beef cows. No problems then. Just replace the buffalo bull when he is to old to work and the cows the same. All off spring are used for meat production.

Years ago a friend's father brought back bison from an Alaska hunting trip. It was very bloody, iron-y meat, but it had been frozen. Would it have benefited from aging before freezing? It was certainly hearty beef, but it just didn't seem fully developed.

I have found Buffalo to have much less taste than beef and generally less intermuscular marbling.
