This is a grammatically correct sentence in English.

The three forms of "buffalo" here are an adjective, a noun and a verb.

Buffalo (capitalized): adj. from the city of Buffalo, New York.
buffalo: n. in this instance the American Bison, which is not technically a buffalo.
buffalo: v. to bully, harass, intimidate, etc.

So the sentence means "The buffalo from Buffalo that buffalo from Buffalo bully, themselves bully buffalo from Buffalo".
