In 1957, Jim Burnett was the first to successfully crossbreed a Bison bull with a Hereford heifer.

The offspring of the cross was a fertile 3/4 bison bull. The cross resulted in the best of both species and produced a superior animal. Today, a full-blood Beefalo is 3/8 Bison (37.5%) and 5/8 domestic beef breed. Research shows that the Beefalo breed is genetically sound and vigorous.

The North American Bison developed on the plains of North America with nature serving as herdsman and veterinarian. Bison survived without vaccinations, C-sections, Stockpiled hay, grain, or shelter.

At one time they numbered between 60 and 100 million.

Early cattlemen believed the hardiness, long life, foraging habits, and feed conversion abilities of the Bison would be beneficial traits in domestic cattle. The results of their hard work can be seen in the vigor and productivity of today's Beefalo.
