As North America’s largest native megafauna, the Buffalo occupies a truly unique role in the ecosystem of the Great Plains that cattle simply can’t replicate. They’ve evolved alongside the land itself, perfectly in harmony with the lands on which they roam.
The mere presence of the Buffalo supports healthy biodiversity of prairie grasses, for example. As Buffalo feed, they stay on the move, seeking out their favorite species like blue grama, buffalo grass, and western wheatgrass.
