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.
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.
Article seems like a lot of bill...
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.)

I'll stick to grass-fed beef.
I use ground buffalo meat to make pasta sauce, usually combining it with bell peppers, chopped onions, garlic cloves, mushrooms and a jar of Rao’s or other pasta sauce. I formerly used ground turkey, but buffalo meat tastes better.
But, do bison fart much? That could be a problem. /s
Bison: Vitamin B12: 68%
I think it’s the lack of B12 that makes Vegetarians often look ‘sustainable’ (and, in one case, cost a friend his life, and nearly the same for my sister). It’s not hard to replace B12 via supplements, but not everyone is a nutritionist.
Nice to see that Bison has that need well covered!
I was surprised to see ground bison at WalMart.
Wanted to try it, but seemed way too expensive.
I noticed the meat is very red— now I see why.
According to OP, it’s higher in all the nutrients. So maybe I could mix in some grains & diced onions to stretch it. Make spaghetti & bison balls. Haha. Hubby would like that.
Love bison
By now it’s a dead thread, but for those still looking, the link will provide all the buffalo excitement one could want with a trip to Custer State Park in South Dakota for the annual buffalo roundup and arts festival thrown in as a bonus. Rain and cold temps this year, but usually sunny and warm.
I started to respond right at the beginning, but fell asleep. Great nap.
