Slo Poke Beefalo

Slo Poke Beefalo raises Beefalo in Dayton, OH, serving Montgomery County and the Miami Valley near Cincinnati. Founded by Jay Buckingham, it has over a decade of experience in breeding hybrid cattle with documented lineage and routine health screenings.

Each animal is born and raised on pasture with ample space for grazing, and calves are gently handled from birth to encourage calm temperament. The farm follows sustainable practices, rotating pastures and using mineral-balanced diets to support well-being and growth. They are members of the International Beefalo Association and adhere to its breeding guidelines.

In addition to beef production traits, their herd is evaluated for hardiness and adaptability, reflecting a focus on functional genetics. Visitors appreciate the relaxed farm atmosphere and Jay Buckingham’s openness about husbandry methods, a reflection of his commitment to transparency. Calves from this herd often demonstrate consistent gain rates and docile behavior.
