Buffalo is the ultimate healthy meat!
It is truly amazing that the American Bison or Buffalo is still in existence today given its history. The buffalo was first encountered by the settlers moving west into the plains and prairies. At the same time, settlers also encountered the American Indian. They saw both as a threat to what they wanted - the land. The buffalo provided the Indians with food, clothing and other necessities. So as long as the buffalo existed, so did the Indian. And even if the settlers could eliminate the Indians without eliminating their food source, the buffalo was a problem as it was grazing on the pasture lands needed to feed the settlers cattle. It was decided that the best way to get what the settlers wanted was to eliminate the buffalo and so the slaughter began.	We did a blind taste test between the buffalo and the beefalo and found absolutely no taste difference between the two.  And, our beefalo meat is priced lower than buffalo meat!
The only reason that the buffalo still exists today is that a few "thinking" individuals in the late 1800's and early 1900's decided to try to save what was left of the herds by capturing a few wild buffalo and raising them in captivity. Most people have probably never actually seen a buffalo up close. We at Meyer Beefalo & Buffalo Farm were privileged to not only see them on a daily basis but to care for them and keep the breed alive for 25 years.
