Watts: 1944. A cross between a cow (longhorn or fully domesticated one) and a buffalo. Adams says that Charles Goodnight was the first to produce a hybrid between these species, but Watts indicates that Spanish colonists attempted to breed cattle and buffalo as early as 1750 and that the idea was suggested in 1598. The original reason for breeding the two animals is disputed. Hendrickson cites Ferber, who suggests it was to make cattle more resistant to heat and ticks. Watts says that it was to produce a new kind of meat, which unfortunately proved to be inferior to beef. These hybrid animals are said to be difficult to domesticate and often sterile, but some believe there may yet be a market for them.Alternate forms: catalo, cattlo.
