The new law does bring a very big difference and to make matters simpler for legal purpose, adding bull and buffalo to the list means less scope for pro-beef people to deal with cow meat under the guise of bull/buffalo and the opposers to kick up a fuss due to suspicion..
The new verbiage only added bull (intact male) and bullock (castrated male) into the same protection as cows.
Buffaloes and yak are still fair game. Most restaurants openly serving beef usually serve buffalo as beef. This will not impact them, just the high end ones that served true beef.
