North American Bison have been raised on farms and ranches for over one hundred years.
There are now over 1500 farmers and ranchers raising bison commercially in Canada.
Bison adapt well to the harsh winter elements as they are native to the prairies.
Bison are highly disease resistant and there are virtually no predators in the agricultural regions of Canada that pose a threat to them.
Bison meat provides a high dose of daily protein, iron and zinc requirements, and contains anti-oxidants.
Bison cows will produce healthy calves with less year-round cost and management effort than other grazing meat species like sheep or cattle.
Bison producers can expect to spend more on a Bison handling facility than is required for a cattle handling system.
