Water Buffalo

Our Water Buffalo originally descend from Asian Buffalo, like those in India and Pakistan. They are called Water Buffalo as in the wild they inhabit swampy, wet areas. Our animals were actually imported from Romania in Eastern Europe where they are still a very important farm animal and are used to pull carts and ploughs. They are tame, friendly and curious animals. They are also quieter and easier to milk than most cows. Our buffalo herd numbers are over 1,500.

Buffalo meat is a lower fat, tasty alternative to beef. Their milk is very rich and creamy. It makes beautiful cheese, ice-cream and milkshakes.
