Beefalo- The Better Beef

The American Beefalo is truly an American Beef Breed. The only breed developed from a native American animal- the American Bison (Buffalo). The hybrid breed of Beefalo combines the best qualities of bison and beef cattle. Beefalo offers the hardiness of bison with the qaulity beef of cattle that results in the leanest, healthiest, meat consumers can buy- and producers can sell. Unlike well-tendered beef cattle, bison herds have survived for hundreds of years without the benifit of care from herdsmen and veterinarians. Their ability to survive in the face of drought, famine, and other natural threats has produced a breed that is genetically sound and physically superior to traditional beef breeds. Bison gentics give Beefalo a high level of disease resisitance and insect tolerance. Now, modern science offers today's beef producers and consumers the best of both species in the form of the Beefalo breed. The full-blood Beefalo is exactly 3/8 bison and 5/8 bovine, with any of the beef breeds making up the latter part of the equation. For consumers, Beefalo offers a healthier selection of beef. Beefalo is lower in calories, fat and cholesterol than even chicken or fish! USDA tests prove that Beefalo has less cholesterol than chicken, and less fat and more protein than regular beef. Beefalo even meets the dietary recommendations of the American Heart Association. So consumers enjoy all the taste of beef, with added health benefits. Beefalo cattle properly finished have an excellent meat that is tender, tasty, and lean. The exceptional quality of Beefalo meat has been recognized by the United States Department of Agriculture and was acknowledged in 1985, when they approved a 'Roll Stamp' identification of 'Beefalo Beef'.
