Our Guest Book

Buffalo were the lords of the prairie. To European settlers traveling across America’s Great Plains in the early 1800s. Sometimes, the rumbling of thunder could be heard in the distance, though no storm clouds could be seen. Then the ground would begin to tremble, and suddenly the astonished newcomers would be surrounded by a thundering herd of hulking animals that stretched further than the eye could see. The majestic welcoming committee made it clear that the settlers had, at last, arrived in the buffalo nation — a land where tens of million of American Bison held sway. 

The North American bison can weigh up to 2,000 pounds; they can be more than a dozen feet long and stand up to six feet tall at their massive shoulder hump, which serves as a storehouse for energy-rich fat.

Bison can run for long periods at up to 35 miles per hour.

Buffalo meat is naturally flavorful and Extremely healthy, in fact if you didn't know, you would think you were eating the most flavorful Beef steak or burger you have ever had.

Nutritional Value
Buffalo meat has a rich, beef-like taste. Being lower in cholesterol and calories yet higher in iron and protein makes buffalo a perfect beef substitute for the health-conscious, or those on restricted red meat diets. In fact, buffalo has less cholesterol than chicken with the skin removed or even most fish!

Important differences when compared to beef include:

  • 100% MSG Free
  • 60% to 80% less fat (depending upon the cut of the meat.)
  • 35% less cholesterol than beef (+less than chicken with the skin removed.)
  • 30% higher in protein and less calories.
  • No growth-inducing hormones or steroids or antibiotics
  • No known human allergies.
