Nicknamed "Buddy," the beefalo, a cross between a bison and domestic cattle, eluded its handlers on Aug. 3 while being loaded off a truck at a meat processing business in Plymouth.

The beefalo — a cross between a bison and domestic cattle — eluded its handlers on Aug. 3, while being loaded off a truck at a meat processing business in Plymouth.

Most of the bison that remained in the U.S. were bred with cattle in hopes of starting a thriving “beefalo” meat industry, an experiment that never really took off.

Katie Adkins, owner of Plymouth Meats - from where the beefalo escaped - described the animal as “a little wilder than normal cattle… I mean, it’s half buffalo.”

In an initial release, police identified the animal as a steer, and then as the missing beefalo in Friday’s release.
