The delicious taste of bison begins on the native rangelands and pastures of North America. Mother Nature perfected bison over thousands of years to produce flavorful, healthy meat from the native grasses and other plants in our ecosystem. Bison spend the majority of their lives on these native pastures. Through the years, producers have learned that \u201cless is more.\u201d In other words, handling the animals as little\u2014and as humanely\u2014as possible results in a healthier animal, and a better meat product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the last few months before the meat is harvested, many bison are finished on a diet of grains, forbs, and roughage. This provides a consistent product that many customers desire. Finishing facilities used for bison must accommodate the animal\u2019s natural social behavior, with ample space and quality nutrition. Some of these bison are finished in the pastures, with grain and roughage provided on a \u201cfree choice\u201d basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An increasing number of bison today are kept on pasture thought their lives. Producing grass-finished bison is challenging because of the variable nature of our seasons, grasses, and because of periodic droughts. Ranchers are working together to provide a consistent supply of quality grass-finished bison meat for today\u2019s market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All bison are raised without questionable drugs, chemicals or growth hormones. The NBA Code of Ethics<\/a> also binds members to uphold the commitment to keeping bison truly all natural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
