So how did we get started with bison? Well, I’ve always had an interest in things that were a little different and the adventure that awaits. You never know unless you try! So in 2013 I bought 3 bison heifers from a neighbor that had them to train his cutting horses, with the intentions to finish them out and butcher them for myself and possibly resell a couple of them. Then a friend of mine suggested that I get a bull and raise some calves and hence began the journey that has led us to this point. Over the years we have purchased more animals and kept our replacement heifers to slowly build our herd all the while growing an immense appreciation for bison. Their adaptive nature and efficiency of grazing even when the snow gets deep makes them a clear choice for us where we can plant cover crops for regenerative agriculture practices and graze them late into the winter. In 2020 we started a new venture of selling our prime bison meat direct to consumer which has led us on a challenging but exciting adventure. Today we run well over 130 bison on our place and plan on continuing to grow.
