Not really, buffalo are notoriously difficult as livestock. They're stubborn, defensive, and enormous. A buffalo is more likely to bust any fence before it can be domesticated. Cows on the other hand are pushovers.

I meant as game really, kind of like deer. Permits and such for hunting. But I appreciate your comment as I did not know any of this.

You can get them, but it's not very fun since they're confined to certain regions and are super easy to kill. There's a reason they nearly went extinct...

There's something to be said for a wild source of meat.

Migratory herds disperse seeds and fertilize soil with their manure, while cutting back on overgrowth without overgrazing.
