[QUOTE="MO_cows, post: 612948, member: 9169"] Beefalo are for real. I used to do administration for the ABWR, years ago when their office was in Kansas City. There were some very down to earth and nice folks in that organization at the time. Not all the first cross bison/bovine bulls are sterile. Most, but not all. Saw pictures of one popular 50/50 bull who was fertile and had semen collected. We nicknamed him "Cherno-bull" in the office, he was a strange looking critter. What they are trying to accomplish is to meld the hardiness and the longevity of the bison with the beef attributes and docile disposition of the bovine. Think if you had a good set of cows that could reliably produce for 25 years?? It's obvious from some comments they sure do have a PR problem. There were multiple associations going and also some seemingly shady operators at some point and that didn't help their cause. One accomplishment they have made is a USDA-approved meat program. They could put certified beefalo meat in the grocery stores just like CAB. [/QUOTE]
