Why eat bison?

       

Taste
It tastes great!
Most feel bison is the most flavorful meat they have ever tasted.
It has been said that "it tastes like meat used to taste."
Many notice a sweeter flavor than beef,
which adds to the richness of the meat. *

Value
On a cost comparison, bison falls into the gourmet
category at your supermarket or meat market.
The value of bison is not what you pay,
but what you get in return.
Nutritionally, you are getting more -
more protein, more nutrients, for less -
less fat, less calories, less cholesterol.
A value that you can figure into your budget
for a balanced, healthy diet. *

Healthful
A long time ago, the Indians and frontiersmen,
who lived predominantly on bison, had endurance,
agility and stamina. Research is currently being
collected on bison to help us better understand
the reasons for this.
Due to their independent nature, bison are handled
as little as possible. They spend much of their lives
on grass, and the Durham Ranch along with the entire
bison industry is strongly opposed to using artificial
growth stimulants, animal by-products and sub-therapeutic
anti-biotics in any bison feed.
These facts, along with other conscientious husbandry practices,
help to maintain the natural vitality of the meat. *
