on a side note, bison or buffalo are raised free range, whil most cows are
almost in a factory environment, dont picture your regular cows grazing in a
feild.

cows that are "farmed" this way will have a higher fat content than those
that are free range, much like buffalo
IF buffalo replaced cows as the primary beef source im sure it would be the
opposite
