[CattleMan1920]

If she makes you happy that's all that matters. I like that she has a great personality.

I second Ron's comments.

I like pets.. and water buffalo are cool.. if you're on facebook look up Sammy Jo Stohler (I think) or on Youtube look for Wilson the water buffalo... he's all rigged up and does work around the farm, dragging stuff and such

There's a video of him stacking barrels.. It's what he does for fun... collects barrels from around the yard, puts them in a corner, and stacks them 2 high.
Not the greatest vid.. it'll do

Must be a joke about Angus ?

I do not know much of cattle yet, but I know that is not Angus

Sure looks like Beefalo in the first picture. My boss had a dozen or so and they are fine when you leave them alone, but when cornered they will eye you up and charge you, the ones he had were just plain dangerous. The side view of the head definitely doesn't look Beefalo, I'm glad to hear she's friendly.

When I was at Laverstoke Park farm, the buffalo were always bred by bull, the best in the herd were imported from Italy, I do not know anyone who AI'es Water buffalo, the Mozzarella is a top seller on the farm with an increasing demand for Gouda, yogurt and buffalo ice cream, there are several videos on youtube with the Laverstoke buffalo and cheese factory featured.

She is Black, that's all that matters(CAB)

If she is water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) they can not interbreed with cattle (Bos taurus or Bos indicus)[60 chromsomes].

African or Cape Buffalo (Syncerus caffer) [52 chromosomes] and can not interbreed with cattle and it appears they can not interbred with water buffalo.

River buffalo 50 chromosomes, swamp buffalo 48 chromosomes are both classified as water buffaloo and are an anomaly in that they can interbreed and produce fertile offspring.
