Got my calf back…

[Popcorn]

1360 lbs about a month after this pic. 51% net which ain't bad for a beefalo. He was on clover and feed all summer finished on grains for 8 weeks
Better steaks than I have had at $100 a plate steak houses.

I almost regret dividing this one up with our 3 kids.
Brought to perfection on a hot charcoal grill.

Looks delicious!
He may have needed another year though? (Sorry- I had to be the one to say it.)
Haha.

Beefalo are slower to grow out and finish so technically you are right! It would have taken till next fall to hit that 1750 / 1800 lb mark. That's a lot of feed.

Nothing like fresh beef. We haven't bought beef in a store since we got married almost 29 years ago. Going to pick mine up Friday at the processor..

Looks great. Great to finish them on grain. Grass feeding is fine, but only grain can bring the yum!

Never heard of a Beefalo. Is it a cow/buffalo cross of some kind? Leaner than beef? Looks Great!

 

[Popcorn]

Folks tinkered with crossing them for years. Too much bison = mean and slow to grow, to little was just another beef. Different breeders selected different lines to cross with so the end result today is a hodgepodge of genetics. I guess the finally settled on 3/8 bison, 5/8 beef and found less aggressive more docile like a beef , better feed conversion with a meat more like the texture of bison but not so tough cause it can be marbled with fat. Kinda the best of both worlds.
We really like the meat and can easily tell the difference between it and regular beef

 

[Displaced_Vol]

Never heard of a beefalo either- pretty neat and looks delicious.

looks delicious. i ate bison one time. it was a hair better than trout, which taste like dog turds.

maybe it was just the way they processed it. it had a heavy, gamey, iron flavor to it.

Had buffalo several times over the years, always tasted like a good grade of beef,
