Why Beefalo... for Consumers?

Beefalo has all the great nutrients associated with red meat, is higher in protein, and is lower in fat and cholesterol than other red meats. Beefalo is lower in fat, cholesterol, and calories than chicken (skin on) and similar to chicken (skin off).

In a 1995 study R.M. Koch (Koch, Jung, Crouse, Varel, and Cundif- The Journal of Animal Science, 1995, 73:1271-1281) reported that Bos X Bison meat was slightly more tender judged by a trained panel, had less connective tissue, and had a greater percentage of intermediate and red fibers compared to beef.
