The Bison Island Ranch herd is 100% Grass-Fed and pasture rotated, allowing the animals to live in the most natural and undisturbed way possible! As the largest land mammal in North America, a bison can consume up to 30 pounds of grass in one day! These huge herbivores, also commonly called buffalo, can weigh up to 2,000 pounds, stand over 6 feet tall, and run up to 35 miles per hour! Wow!
Did you know that The American Heart Association “recommends bison meat for a heart healthy diet due to its low fat and cholesterol content”? This meat is high in protein, iron, selenium, phosphorus, zinc, copper, potassium, riboflavin, niacin, and vitamins B6 and B12. If you have never tried bison, don’t miss out!
Rain or shine, come on out for the second annual Bison Harvest Fest next weekend on Saturday, October 12th from 4:00 PM until 8:00 PM! This event is free admission. Bison Island Ranch is located at 194 Engleville Rd, Sharon Springs, NY 13459. Please visit www.bisonislandranch.com or social media @bisonislandranch for more information.
