Not really beefalo but a hybrid of Bison and cattle first bred during the early 20th century on the Kaibab Plateau.
Why would they want to create hybrids? Can’t decide between beef and buffalo??
The two cowboys responsible wanted to sell the best burger in the Arizona strip.
They still look like buffalo or is there a difference between buffalo and bison?
Buffalo exist only in Asia and Africa. Early Europeans didn’t know what to call our Bison so used the world Buffalo and it stuck. These hybrids are smaller than a true Bison. The little ones really look like cows.
I always think of the Christopher Robin poem ” bimbalo buffalo bison …” Anyway supposed to be very lean lovely meat!
Sure wish we could cull these huge herds and eat to our hearts content.
I hope they keep them separate from the pure breds.
You know that’s something I never thought about because they roam in the same forests that cattle graze.
