>Q: What are the health benefits of buffalo?

fat

Better that worse , it is okay!

like i said we benefit from their past genetic . it s not going to be long
to spoil this.

I know lot of wild animals who got to feed on garbage in cities who look
very differents than their wild counterpart after few generations ( funny
they are obese too and lost their peace of mind and become quite agressive)

whole grain would be not so bad but i doubt it is ,most likely processed
feeds grain based)
why do you think they give them grains that is costly , if the gain of
weight is not profitable enough . To gain this kind of weight ( that is not
possible to obtain only with grass aparrently ,) in 120 days , it have to be
unhealthy weight even if it doesn't marbled as much as the beef )

the fact that it is available in store it s great but i still question the
industrial scale of the distribution. At this scale of merchandising,
"quality" is just a marketing tool, it is just not practical to have
integrity, but a good image rest important ...

wonderfull , we can buy back the guilt of having them exterminated , now we
become more clever we just exploite , ( natives and bisons )
In an industrial scale of distribution the farmers are loosers and when they
are native ,even more so .
I apreciate bisons but would like to see more local small scale caring of
those beautiful animals.
you called me ?! i am here!
