The beefalo is a useless animal, as longhorn meat is just as tasty and low in cholesterol as a buffalo. It’s cheaper too!

This playing with nature thing is really going too far.
I’m all for research and stuff, but in this day and age- financial constraints on research and all- shouldn’t the focus shift from playing around with animal genes to trying to find cures for major/ chronic diseases.
Though, I suppose a beefalo steak does help with the cholesterol problem, if you can afford it! ;)

Talking about adding pig to the mix made me think of Margaret Atwood’s pigoons in Ornyx and Crake (and The Year of the Flood). Hybrids are really creepy after reading those!

My parents bought stock in a company that was developing and researching goat silk in the late 90′s. At the time my sister and I thought it was the funniest thing, much to my mother’s annoyance.
