If the Europeans had been smart, instead of trying to kill all of the Indians 
they would have made a deal for the Indians to keep raising buffalo, with the 
settlers getting a split.  They could have even made a buffalo 'treaty'.  I 
can buy buffalo at my neighborhood market , at ceratin times of the year.  I 
can't really tell much difference in the taste.  I had a friend who had 
several buffalo, the bulls are 
'huge'...........................................
