#4 Are they sure it's loose and not being mounted as a trophy? It is Iowa we're talking about.

#5 There is a trend with 'organic' type small farmers that are trying out this breed for their manure (fertilizer), milk, skin, butterfat and meat.

They're fairly easy to keep apparently, until they break down your fence.

A tad more aggressive than your average Hereford.

#7 I met a number of water buffaloes way back when.
None of them seemed to be what I would call friendly.

#9 I accidentally chased a cow buff in the Northern Territory back in the day- the track ran between a fence and a steep creek bank, and she got hustled along for a couple of hundred yards till she could get room to turn around. Would have drilled my truck, if I hadn’t gunned it out of there.
