I participated in a Buffalo round - up, yesterday.
Unbelieveable experience.... they can be scary......
I have recently been cooking with Buffalo......Nice meat.
Does anyone have any experience with raising Buffalo?

Only thing I know is that you better have some da*n good fences. The saying around here is "Buffalos are a good way to get to know ALL your neighbors"

I do know they are good eating. that would be so cool to be in on a round-up, I bet it was scary, were you horseback or motorized?

Started out in a truck, thanks to some freaked out calves that doubled back over some rough terrain, I mounted up on horseback. Nothing can replace a good cutting horse . They are truly enormous when grown. Heck they are enormous when they are NOT grown. Those mama's out there will soon kill ya as to look at ya. Their snort and stare will absolutly cause you pause. It's a Buffalo Ranch, so the fences are very strong. Moving them was a bit "tricky", to say the least. Not sure which one.....but one of them will be going to freezer camp soon.
I know I could buy a couple from him, but wanting others imput. The look docile.....but they are not.. if you are messing with them. Majestic animals......with a mean streak if pushed around.
