The American Beefalo Association is having similar problems marketing their crossbred product as well. |
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. |
They're also interbred for food, like the beefalo and different types of catfish-trout hybrids. |
Even so, their size will never compete with some other mixes like the Grolar bear and the Beefalo. |
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. |
Tests conducted by the Mississippi State Chemical Laboratory indicated beefalo was much leaner than beef. |
