Bison
Nature's Best Is Back
Bison
once roamed the plains in numbers so great the early explorers could
not count them. They were variously described as "numbers-numberless," "the
country was one robe," and "the plains were black and appeared
as if in motion."
Bison
have been called the most important wild animals in the development
of North America. The centre of life for the Plains Indians, providing
them with food, clothing, shelter and much of their culture. Bison
also sustained the lives of the explorers and settlers going west.

By the late 1800's, Bison were dangerously close to extinction.
Through the efforts of early conservationists and ranchers who
knew the value of Bison, they are no longer an endangered species
and are thriving across North America. Today
more than 500,000 bison are being raised in public and private herds
making it possible to enjoy the many advantages of this truly unique
alternative red meat souce.
