Roles, Benefits

• Moreover, buffaloes are a source of inspiration for poetry and painting. Stories, proverbs, and paintings featuring buffaloes are not at all unfamiliar to us. For example, the image of a boy playing a flute while herding buffaloes or the proverb: “Buffalo, I tell this buffalo, Buffalo goes to the field, buffalo plows with me,”...
