"Everyday" TBone (the standard "sto-bought" market grades below prime)
rarely exceeds $7 a pound (about the equivalent of your $19 a kilo
considering lower Canadian dollar), and can be bought on sale for as low as
$3.99 a pound. I've not seen buffalo in local markets but a local premium
meat service carries it frozen and like everything lese including the
better sins it can be bought in Austiin....TBone in the $12-15 a pound
range with tenderloin appreciably higher.

I "harvested" a surplus one with a friend from a nearby ranch last year and
got a hindquarter, tongue (smoking) and section of the hump, great for slow
barbecue. Because buffalo, at least around here, walk more, the hindquater
was pretty sinewy compared to your basic year old fattened calf called beef
sold at the market.
