Californian cattle rancher D.C. “Bud” Basolo developed the Beefalo breed in the 1970s. He did not reveal the precise pedigree of the breed. [4] The breed is defined by The American Beefalo Association as being genetically at least five-eighths Bos taurus and at most three-eighths Bison bison. [4]
Cattle breeds fall into two main types, which are regarded as either two closely related species, or two subspecies of one species. Bos indicus (or Bos taurus indicus ) cattle, commonly called zebu, are adapted to hot climates and originated in the tropical parts of the world such as India, Sub-saharan Africa, China, and Southeast Asia.

Since cattle are herbivores and need roughage in their diet, silage, hay and/or haylage are all viable feed options. [14] Despite this, 3/4th of the 32 pounds (14.52 kg) of feed cattle consume each day will be corn. [15] Cattle weighing 1,000 & nbsp;lbs. will drink an average of 41 L a day, and approximately 82 L in hot weather. [16]
The American Breed is an American bovid hybrid of cattle with a small percentage of American Bison blood. It was developed in the 1950s by a New Mexico rancher looking for beef cattle which could survive on poor fodder in the arid Southwest. It is one of the few cattle breeds with any known Bison influence, another being the Beefalo. [2]
Hybrids such as the beefalo breed can even occur between taurine cattle and either species of bison, leading some authors to consider them part of the genus Bos, as well. [79] The hybrid origin of some types may not be obvious – for example, genetic testing of the Dwarf Lulu breed, the only taurine-type cattle in Nepal, found them to be a mix ...
They may be beefalo, a bison–cattle crossbreed, and thus have inherited the white coloration from their cattle ancestry. Spiritual significance
