I've tried looking every where and Margi has been quite kind in sending me info but I've hit a wall. Does anyone know where to buy buffalo (bufala) milk?
Wasn't me. This is a new subject on this topic as far as I know. I know also there is a difference between bison and water buffalo. Not the same - not even close. There is a dairy in Vermont that recently moved to Canada but there is not link on the web site to follow up.
I hadn't meant to imply you were anything. I had meant to imply that everything I know about the subject was from the recent subject on buffalo cheese.Wasn't me.

It will be interesting to hear if you find water buffaloes in US or CA.
I have a feeling that, for now, it's going to easier to just buy your own water buffalo than to find the milk. Two year old heifers in the U.S. go for about $2,000. Weanlings and older heifers for maybe $750. So, about like pure bred beef. It looks like between 5 and 8 kg milk per hear per day, or 1 - 2 kg of mozzarella. One source says 2,500 kg per year of milk a lot higher value than conventional cows. If you were serious about buffalo mozzarella and had a good place for them to graze already, maybe a couple of acres per animal, it would be okay, if you could commit to the milking the beast and misc care.
