In other news… Buddy the beefalo was caught the other day hanging out on a farm with some ladies(other cows). The Connecticut farmer who owned the animals was then able to load him onto a trailer and take him in for questioning. Buddy was running free throughout the fall and winter since August when he initially was to be unloaded at a Meat Processor when he escaped! He hung out in nearby forests and possibly farms. There were multiple attempts to capture the fugitive. Since his capture, Buddy is on his way to Massachusetts to visit a Veterinarian and get a full work up from there he will head to Gainesville Florida where he will live out his days at Critter Creek Farm Sanctuary. There were numerous donations to a private fund so this guy didn’t have to return to the Processor. Check out the story here.
We want to thank all our Exhibitor’s that came to our Showcase in Tennessee. It was great seeing everyone and being able to hang out for a bit in a beautiful setting! Thank you, Thank You to our buyers who came out in the bit of rain to score some great animals to add to their herds. Your purchase was greatly appreciate by those hard working breeders who brought their animals. We also want to thank our Judge. We cannot wait to see everyone else again!
To keep you informed we are adding an online catalog we are working on updating lot numbers . Please keep in mind not all animals are going through the sale.
The American Beefalo Association is the national authority figure of the USDA acknowledged Beefalo breed - having far LESS calories, fat and cholesterol than traditional beef - offering a better beef for consumers, producers and the environment! American Bison + Domestic Cattle = Beefalo. Better. Believe It!
We believe in beefalo, and want to help you make it part of your life. If you would like more information or to talk to an experienced producer, please feel free to connect with members featured on our membership map, a board member, or send us a message using our simple contact form. Thank you.
