No, buffalo do not eat milkweed. The plant in question (Asclepias spp) produces bitter, off-putting, toxic alkaloids and cardenolids whose inedibility cannot be countered by mammals without processing. For example, humans may eat fresh shoots that have been cooked first.

Bison may accidentally eat them but they don't seek them out.
