In 1972, we purchased a farm and began experimenting with Beefalo cattle. |
A white Beefalo has been added to the Bison Exhibit at the Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park and Zoo. |
Hybrids such as the beefalo breed can even occur between taurine cattle and either species of bison, leading some authors to consider them part of the genus Bos, as well. |
They're also interbred for food, like the beefalo and different types of catfish-trout hybrids. |
It has been a successful invention — in fact, mules are probably the most successful and enduring animal hybrid, with beefalo coming in a distant second. |
Tests conducted by the Mississippi State Chemical Laboratory indicated beefalo was much leaner than beef. |
