So, how much of a stretch would it be to cook American bison meat in place
of auroch (European bison)?

I thought the auroch was a type of cow, similar to the Longhorn,
rather than a bison? If that is the case, why would a buffalo/bison
be any closer to that of an auroch than a modern cow? Although since
the buffalo would likely be free range, rather than feedlot grown, I
imagine that would effect the taste.
