Well Bison: I DID NOT throw a personal insult at you for YOUR OPINION on buffalo. I am on two different bank boards in this area. We have gotten three or four people each year trying to get money to started into the Buffalo business. NOT a single one of the business plans we have been given will make a profit. ALL of them have too much money in their stock to make a profit in a reasonable time to be able to service their debt. Plus not a SINGLE ONE of them has a reliable market for the finished product. Maybe in Canada there is a market but here it has to marketed by the person selling the buffalo. Way too many pie in the sky numbers to be able to loan money on.
So if you want to use your own money to buy them, then great go for it. Remember that you have to sell what you raise. For a person in a remote area then the marketing is the hard part of the deal. I would assume that there are groups that market together like many in the organic food industry do. There are not any close to around here.
I still maintain that they are a niche market that is not going to be the most stable. Some making money while most don't.
Also if the Uncle is trying to get him to raise Buffalo why is the Uncle not putting HIS money into it????? IF it was such a good money maker why is the Uncle not jumping in with both feet????

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
