with regards to the second part of the question, all dogs can breed together because all are the same species whereas domestic cattle and bison/buffalo are different species so the comparison is not entirely apt. However, the two can hybridise. Bison are farmed commercially in some parts of the world including the USA, and they are bred with domestic cattle by some farmers. The resulting hybrid is termed a "beefalo" or "cattalo"

i will till you the real thing when i was young i saw a chicken and a duck breeding each other, the result is a half is a chicken and the other half is a duck.it is not possible that a cow and the buffalo have offspring too.but it is depend on the situation ,if that happened, If the buffalo is very hot and he only saw a female cow i am sure that the buffalo will breed the cow. in this situation i think a rape case is appearing. and thats very true and real thing.

Yes they can and they are called beefalo. They are bred usually for better meat production. There are some being raised in Ohio right now. They are using the bull buffalo and breeding it to cows to produce better meat producing beefalos.

Don't sound funny to me. They have been breeding cattle and buffalo for years. Beefalo. http://www.ababeefalo.org/abi4.htm

By the way, not all dogs can breed with each other. Some combinations just are not naturally physically possible.

Yes, Beefalo were being bred at one time; not sure what happened but don't see it in the stores anymore.

Buffalo meat is great. When I lived in Cheyenne we used to buy it at the grocery store like beef.
