[QUOTE="BIZIN, post: 698292, member: 5783"] I completely agree alftn!!! Beefalo were the "IT" breed it seems from all the reading and research I have done and were the answer to alot of Northwestern cattlemans problems. When all the new breeds started coming into North America they were forgotten about. I still think they might be the answer. The cattle industry is moving in a different direction. We are moving towards cattle that convert feed better, perform better. We want cows that can get by on less feed and still keep condition. Profitable ranching is about putting the least amount of inputs into your cattle and I think having that touch of Bison in there will change everything for the better, if properly managed. I like the idea of how low input bison are, but I am not ready to switch over to having all bison. Too wild for me and you need specialized facilities. I've met one guy who runs his bison in 3 strand barbed wire and uses his old cattle facilities, but his are realy quiet and thats rare. The beef industry is changing, and we as cattleman need to change with it!! [/QUOTE]
