For Buffalo Dan restoring bison to the land is part of our larger effort to restore the ecosystem. We've combine low-intensity rotational grazing with native plant restoration to create an enriched, healthier soil.
We hold humane treatment of animals above profits. We do not wean calves from their mothers, or crowd bison in feedlots. Bison have existed for thousands of years without human interference and we allow bison to be bison.
Bison meat is lean, tender, and slightly sweeter than beef. Properly handled bison meat should
never taste "gamey." In our opinion there are three
factors that determine the quality of any meat: 1) the diet of the animal, 2) the treatment of
the animal prior to and during harvest, and 3) proper handling of the meat after slaughter. Buffalo
Dan's bison are 100% grass-fed, field harvested humanely, and processed by an experienced local
butcher.
When you buy from Buffalo Dan, you are more than just a customer to us, you become a part of our journey to preserving a species and the planet we live in.
