Why I should be so lucky, I have no idea, BUT: My shire has no fewer than
three commercial buffalo farms who raise the animals for breeding and meat.
You can buy "Buffalo Burgers" around here at various novelty restaurants for
about five bucks a pop. If anyone is desperate for buffalo meat in the US,
I'll try to track down that information. I drive past one far in Waymart, PA
almost every day. BTW the hump is the most expnsive part.
