Boeuff

Boeuf River, river rising in southeastern Arkansas, U.S., and flowing southwest between the Bartholomew and Mason bayous into Louisiana, entering the Ouachita River in Catahoula Parish. Part of the river’s 230-mile (370-kilometre) course is navigable. The name Boeuf is derived from the French word for ox, or steer.
