Buffalo Lake Farms

Buffalo Lake Farms raise beefalo in Portageville, NY, in Western New York near Rochester. They have worked with beefalo for several years and are members of regional cattle associations, conducting routine health screenings and genetic evaluations.

Their approach to breeding focuses on clear records and responsible selection to support the long-term vigor of each animal. They follow a pasture-based system with access to shelters and individual stalls for calving, letting calves and cows develop natural social bonds in a calm environment. Daniel and Bernadette George believe that regular handling from a young age helps build trust and reduces stress during weaning and transport.

Their family-run farm blends heritage beefalo traits with sustainable grazing practices, resulting in cattle adaptable to diverse climates and operations. They maintain detailed records of pedigrees and health histories to ensure transparency for buyers and support ongoing improvements.
