Beefalo
The Beefalo is a unique hybrid cattle breed developed by crossing domestic cattle (Bos taurus) with American bison (Bison bison). This innovative breed combines the desirable traits of both parent species, aiming to produce meat with lower fat and cholesterol than conventional beef, while also offering a rich, bison-like flavor. Beefalos are well-suited to a variety of climates due to their rugged bison ancestry, making them highly adaptable animals. They typically exhibit a compact and robust physique, with a coat that varies in color, often mimicking the shades found in both cattle and bison. Known for their hardiness and efficient grazing habits, Beefalos are able to thrive on less feed compared to regular beef cattle. This breed is recognized not only for its economic efficiency and environmental sustainability but also for its contribution to biodiverse farming practices. With their gentle temperament, Beefalos are relatively easy to manage, making them a favorable choice for ranchers and farmers exploring crossbreeding to achieve improved livestock performance and product quality.
