Beefalo has an excellent foraging ability which allows them to convert roughage into more gain per day. The Beefalo's life-span is longer than domestic cattle, and the Beefalo females have a production life twice that of domestic female cattle. Linked with their hardy, rugged nature, ability to withstand hot or cold climates, adaptability to climate changes, disease resistance, and lets not forget their natural foraging instincts, the Beefalo breeder has less maintenance costs and time involved. But best of all is the meat. Beefalo meat not only tastes fantastic, it has better nutritional benefits than domestic beef.
Beefalo is lower in cholesterol than even fish or chicken.
Not only does the USDA support this, we've had our own Beefalo meat tested for nutrition at an independent testing laboratory. The test came back that 3.5 ounces of our ground Beefalo had a cholesterol count of 37.6. Compare that with fish or chicken which has a cholesterol count of 60 and 70 for the same 3.5 ounces. With consumer's moving to less cholesterol and fat in their diets, Beefalo is rapidly becoming the beef of choice. In addition, lean meat increases the carcass yield, eliminating the need for the meat processor to trim away fat thus increasing the profits for retailers, processors, packers, and you the producer.
