Beefalo are known as Hybrid Vigors, meaning, they are bred to be genetically superior to their parents. Beefalo are able to perspire, something that cattle cannot do, this enables them to be able to adjust more easily to hotter temperatures. This hybrid will eat lower quality plants or plants that normal cattle will not, mothers will produce a rich milk helping the calf to grow quicker.

Beefalo have genetics from both parents receiving hardiness, foraging ability and calving ease from the Bison parent. From cattle they will show traits of fertility, milking ability and ease of handling.

Can an African Buffalo be bred with domesticated cows?

Most likely, yes. Did you know that there's a breed called a Beefalo? This breed is a result of breeding an American bison with a domestic cow. So if an American bison can be bred with a domestic bovine and produce viable offspring, then there's nothing wrong with breeding an African Buffalo with a domesticated cow. Make sure, though, that you breed an African Buffalo cow with a domestic-bred bull that has good calving-ease numbers.


What is the result of crossing two different strains of plants or animals?

If you breed two different varieties of plants together: - they may not be able to cross-breed and there will be no seeds. - or you will get seeds that produce assorted plants with a range of features from both parents. If you breed these new plants together, you will start to see more features appearing as the recessive genes start to pair up and show more different features in that next generation.
