What is the Buffalo theory?

'Well you see, it's like this . . . A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.

In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine.

And that is why you always feel smarter after a few beers.'

Based on personal experience, (family cattle ranch with a small bison herd), "buffalo" (more accurately, "bison"), cattle and horses have no problem crossing railroad tracks (and no, we did not have to "train" them to do it).

Bison herds were a major issue for the early trans-continental railroads (e.g. "...Union Pacific responded by increasing security and by hiring marksmen to kill Bison (commonly known as American buffalo) which were both a physical threat to trains and the primary food source for the Plains Indians.")

Not sure where the original poster got his information, but he clearly has no experience with horses or cattle/bison.
