Peoe who made some of these posts obviously haven't done any and consider an opinion they heard of someone else as factual information. Craziness! Even professors and news outlets do it. In fact, looking at two articles from that Mother Earth pub state completely the opposite as fact about Beefalo! Other peoe argue that they are not a breed. Did not ALL breeds start as something else crossed with another?
Did these cattle/buffalo crosses fail once? Yes. Why? At that time do to the lack of popularity of the man "hoarding" the breed turned into controversy and DNA testing. Was that testing anywhere near as good as it is today? Not hardly. Were the people doing the testing as knowledgable as those who do it today? Nope. Testing done on the same DNA today shows different results than what those in the past concluded do to the similarity of the crossed animals.
How are Beefalo doing now? Are any breeders from this thread ready to post up current trends in today's beef market?
I love " breed pimping".
Means somebody is excited about their cattle.!
A little bit of hard facts and info, maybe some pix, and how you make ( or try to ) money with them, and a little less " in your face" from your research...
May get some to sniff what you want to spread.
Have fun and welcome to the boards!
