A cow/buffalo hybrid is called a beefalo. Beefalos are a mix of American bison and regular beef cows. The idea to breed these magnificent creatures together was because they both have great qualities about them. The hybrid animal has a percentage of around 17%-37.5% bison in its genetics. Although it ranges, the price of a beefalo can be around $1,000-$4,000. A beefalo is best known for its very lean and rich meat. This is one of the primary reasons they are bred. Compared to other meats, beefalo meat contains a lot less fat, more protein, less cholesterol, more vitamins, and less calories!
