Bison meat is appearing in the meat cases of a growing number of conventional and natural food retail outlets across the nation. And, the National Bison Association\u2019s free BuyBison app provides a tool for consumers to locate nearby bison farms and ranches selling meat directly to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEating deliciously healthy bison is also helping to restore environmental health,\u201d Carter said. \u201cBison helped shape the grassland ecosystems that sequester carbon. As more people enjoy bison meat, ranchers have more incentive to restore herds to their native rangelands across North America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur companion animals can enjoy healthy bison ingredients as part of their daily diet as well,\u201d Carter added. \u201cA growing number of pet food products are incorporating bison into their formulas. Brands like Tender &amp; True, Evolve, and FreshPet have formally joined with the National Bison Association as Partners in Bison Restoration\u00ae.\u201d<br>More information on bison nutrition and where to buy bison is available on the National Bison Association\u2019s website, www.bisoncentral.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WESTMINSTER, CO (January 7, 2022) \u2013 People resolving to get fit in 2022 don\u2019t have to sacrifice great taste for quality nutrition when making bison part of their New Year\u2019s &#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-43698","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>New Year\u2019s Resolution to Get Fit?
