Never buy second-hand water buffaloes.................
These are likely domesticated water buffalo, as the wild type is endangered. They are used for meat, dairy, and as beasts of burden. ChatGPT notes that raising water buffalo can be as safe—or in some respects, safer—than raising cattle, depending on factors such as handling practices, facilities, and familiarity with the animals. Water buffalo may actually be easier to keep healthy, especially in humid, tropical, or marginal environments. They require mud wallows or access to water to stay cool, and fences must be strong.
For both water buffalo and cattle, never trust a bull. Both can be dangerous, but cattle are generally more predictable in modern Western systems.
