There are only a handful of water buffalo herds kept in the UK. We have 120 water buffalo in our herd at present. See the Water Buffalo entry in our Animals section for more about the origins of the Laverstoke herd.
Water Buffalo are the most undeveloped type of Bovine milking animal.
They produce far less milk than even our cows, but their milk has exceptional qualities which make it excellent for cheese-making and other dairy products such as ice cream.
