Buffalo's really not that bad, but there's a critical problem with raising
buffler....when the wind sets in from the North, the buffler head South,
and yo'everyday three strand/cedar post barbed wire fence ain't goona slow
them big sumbitches down. The amount/type/strength of fencing and handling
equipment need to pasture and handle buffalo adds substantially to their
cost. Then there's time and conversion factors. Today's beef cattle can
be shipped off to the lot and fattened for market quickly and with a
moderate amount of feed in a pounds in/pounds out basis.

Buffalo grow to a different equation. I wouldn't pass up a "Chateaubriand
of Bison", but that tenderloin is gonna cost a lot more than prime, up
there in the range with Kobe beef....

Just as with the ostrich and emu crap, there's a limit to what folks will
pay - and that damn emu tastes like dry sawdust anyway.
