And to top it off, bison convert those nasty vegetables into something that’s actually edible.
Ground bison at $10 for a 10 to 16 ounce package is not worth it, for me. Bison roast, if you can find it, is a good deal.
If one was a captive of the Commanches, held as a slave or for ransom in Oklahoma Territory you got feed raw, rancid bison meat.
Bison is okay and yeah it’s nutritious but...
There is such a thing as too lean and bison is it. Like a lot of red meat it’s not as versatile as beef and needs to be cooked right.
Fifty years ago it was semi affordable in the attached restaurant at Woolarock museum, which had its own herd.
That said, I probably wouldn’t buy it regularly unless it’s on sale.
What if you put a bison trap in your back yard?
I’ve tried bison meat. I liked it.
Bison BUMP
Bison are being farmed here in North Carolina. I believe it’s nice meat, but I can’t afford it for a family of (presently) eight eaters, one of whom is a 13-year-old boy who is almost six feet tall.
In the next few years, our consuming population will decline, and the cost of NC-grown bison meat should also decline. Perhaps the equilibrium price will hit in this decade.
“What if you put a bison trap in your back yard?”
I’d probably catch chipmunks, squirrels and chickadees.
How about your backyard?
Article seems like a lot of bill...
I live 6 miles from a bison farm here in rural NJ. Meat’s good but too expensive for me. Once I found a bison head in my driveway. Called the owner of the farm and he came and picked it up. Said it probably came from a pit where he buries carcasses. Both of us wondered how a heavy bison head made it the 6 miles. Whatever it was wasn’t a chipmunk.
Is there such thing as bison bacon?
One possible BEST deal on bison meat is culling a cow off of one of the Indian reservations.
Last year one of the Apache bands had “culls” available “on shares”: The visiting hunter pays for the head, robe & hooves & gets HALF of the meat.
(A professionally-trained NA skinner/butcher skins/butchers/packages/freezes the meat for the hunter’s trip home.)
IF a person hunts, wants a trophy & likes bison meat, that’s a tough deal to beat, IMO.
An old boarding school chum “bought a hunt” last year at a charity function, including 2 RT air tickets & lodging.
(As the auction was by a 501C3, he got to write most of the price off, too.)

How did you get away?
Meat market in my local grocery store had an in-store sale this week for whole boneless ribeye steaks. I bought a 14.5 lb one for $88. ($5.99 per lb.) We cut it up this morning with our Hobart meat slicer, it produced 21 steaks. It is beautiful.
Slicing was easy, but cleanup of the equipment took a while. You have to be very careful how you clean the blade.
Will pass on the Bison.

There are a LOT of wild hogs here, open hunting season. They make good sausage, very lean. Most cross of Russian Boar and domesticated hogs. They are not easy to kill or catch. They are very smart. And the are very destructive of farm crops.
We have 4 hog traps, but have not set them in quite a while.
It is even legal to hunt them with helicopters.

Why wasn’t I invited? I would have brought pretzels.
I'll stick to grass-fed beef.
