 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have bought a 1/4 beefalo twice from here.  The meat is so amazing!  We have given some to friends and family and they have always loved it.  The meat is very lean and much healthier than traditional beef with the same or better great taste.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would love to try some beefalo. But they won’t answer the phone, they won’t return a call when messages left on voicemail and they won’t reply to an email. My friends and I would like to reserve a share but unfortunately we can’t reserve one.
