  • Discover the Spirit of Our Bison Ranches!

    From Montana to the Dakotas and Canada, we allow the essence of wilderness to thrive. In this refuge, bison are not just residents; they're part of a broader ecological family, wandering with freedom across the land, nourished by its rich, natural bounty.

    Sustainable Grazing: In Harmony with the Earth

    Our sanctuary prioritizes eco-conscious practices, ensuring our operations harmonize with the natural rhythms of the earth. The bison roam across wide, open fields, living symbols of the untamed wilderness. We engage with environmental experts to implement a comprehensive ecosystem management plan, including our pioneering Ecosystem Health Monitor™. This tool helps us sustain the vitality of our land, providing a lush, healthy environment for the bison to thrive.

    Respectful and Responsible Bison Ranching

    Our guiding principle is the respectful care of every bison under our watch. We practice minimal intervention, allowing the bison to live as nature intended, free from antibiotics, growth hormones, and steroids. Their diet is strictly natural, ensuring no animal by-products are used. Our approach is rooted in a profound respect for these noble creatures, aiming to create a sanctuary that reflects their natural habitats and allows them to flourish.

  • 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. Instead of the usual liquid methods, this special air-chilling process locks in the delicious, natural flavors and tenderness while 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.
