Oh I wish. The water buffalo came from a farmers market, they are raised about 30 miles north of here near my parents. I'd love Ostrich and water buffalo and alpaca and soay sheep and celtic cattle and goats and kune kune pigs and tamworth pigs and geese and turkeys and a wolfhound and a saluki and a lakeland terrier and a norweigan forest cat.. but this is for when I get a smallholding..

PS don't show this list to Admin Very Happy

I ate water buffalo many years ago when on holiday in East Africa, but for the life of me I cannot remember what it tasted like! Confused
