  • Discover the Natural Spirit of Bell Creek Bison Ranch!

    Nestled in the vibrant ecosystems of Mayview, Saskatchewan, Bell Creek Bison Ranch stands as a testament to sustainable wildlife stewardship. Since 1991, the ranch has been a beacon of positive impact, with Bell Creek—a natural watercourse—meandering through its verdant pastures.

    Positive Impact: Harmonizing with Wildlife

    Bell Creek Bison is a haven where the restoration of bison to the land has had a profound effect. The return of species such as meadow larks and northern loggerhead shrikes, at the northernmost part of their range, underscores the ranch’s role in conservation. Here, the reappearance of cowbirds, which coexist with bison and cattle, highlights the symbiotic relationship between our herds and native species.

    Unique Land: A Bison’s Paradise

    The distinctive soil variability of Bell Creek Ranch underscores its suitability for bison over traditional grain farming, creating an environment where these majestic creatures can thrive. It’s a land where profitability aligns with ecological practices, ensuring a future where bison continue to roam free.

    Animal Welfare: Emulating Nature’s Pace

    At Bell Creek Bison, animal welfare is not a concept but a practice. By adopting a later weaning date, we allow our calves to grow as they would in the wild, fostering resilience and strength. This gentle approach not only respects the natural development of the bison but also results in healthier, more robust herds.

  • Certified Bison®

    All High Plains Bison steaks are 100% Certified Bison—a quality seal that ensures production with strict ranching, animal welfare, food safety, and processing standards.

    Never Ever Promise

    High Plains Bison are raised the natural way – no growth hormones, antibiotics, steroids, or animal by-products, ever. We proudly adhere to strict, nationally recognized standards for animal welfare, ensuring a healthy life for our bison.

    Chilled Exclusively By Air™

    Our High Plains Bison products are lovingly crafted in small batches using our unique Chilled Exclusively by Air™ method. This special air-chilling process, instead of the usual liquid methods, locks in the delicious, natural flavors and tenderness, while also enhancing food safety.

  • Cook to Tenderness

    Bison steaks are lean and will lose tenderness when cooked past medium. Even those who order beef well-done will prefer a medium-rare bison steak.

    Check the Temperature

    Trust your meat thermometer, not your eyes! Use a thermometer to cook your bison steak to the desired doneness.

    Love it! Let it Rest

    Allow the flavorful Juices to spread before you cut your steak. Let it rest for double the time of beef.
