Why is Bison Better?

Science shows that buffalo meat is actually healthier than other red meats. Buffalo meat is lower in fat than beef, pork, skinless chicken, lamb, veal, venison, ostrich and sockeye salmon.

Buffalo meat has fewer calories per serving than beef, pork, skinless chicken, lamb, venison and sockeye salmon.

The cholesterol in bison meat is lower per serving than all above-mentioned meats.

Bison meat is high in iron, selenium and Vitamin B-12.

Bison meat has 40% more protein than beef, its red meat counterpart, so you can eat 1/3 less volume and still come away satisfied. Bison meat has much less fat than beef so that you get more edible meat for your money.

Because Bison meat is so lean it requires a slightly different cooking technique than beef. Island Bison on Vancovuer Island, offers tips for cooking buffalo along with a free cook book of buffalo recipes for customers.

Research conducted by Dr. M. Marcello, University of North Dakota, has shown that bison is a highly nutrient-dense food because the proportion of protein, fat, minerals and fatty acids to its caloric value.

Buffalo meat is a nutrient dense food that, in one serving, provides significant amounts of the following minerals:

34% Protein: contains all the essential amino acids needed for growth and maintenance.
20% Phosphorus: is needed for strong bones and teeth, growth and maintenance
33% Iron: Heme, the most useable form of iron, needed for oxygen transport in red blood cells.
32% Zinc: trace mineral is used in the manufacture of enzyme systems, immune response, and sense of taste.
10% Niacin: is used to obtain energy at cell level for fat synthesis/breakdown.
14% Vitamin B6: is necessary for protein metabolism, making neurotransmitters.
42% Selenium: trace mineral used in anti-oxidation functions at cell level.

Texas Wild: I am bison hear me ROAR!!!

Published on Aug 18, 2013

A male bison can weigh in excess of 2,000 lbs but these bulls, members of the Texas State Bison Herd, are probably in the 1,800-1,900 lb range (a car weighs 4,000 lbs.). In our herd, males start to compete for access to cows in June and challenges continue through August. I have certainly witnessed aggressive encounters at other times of year and younger males can be seen engaged in "practice" battles year-round. These two bulls battled for over 5 minutes before the fight culminated in what appeared the be a draw. Early on they pushed each other through mesquite and all we could see were the tops of mesquite trees being pulled down in the path of these massive animals. One thing to watch is how the two battling bulls are being followed by yearlings, females and other males. I assume other mature bulls follow to assess competition or to be in the right place if a there is a change in the pecking order. Anyone care to speculate why a yearling or female might want follow so close; there is risk of being plowed under by close to 4,000 of bull, what is the benefit?

The ROARS you hear on the video are recordings of bison bulls from the Texas Herd. I've heard this many times before and continue to be amazed by their low-frequency calls. Low frequency calls, partially below the range of human hearing, are used by elephants to communicate long distances in open country. I can best describe the roar of a bison as intermediate to the roar of an African lion and an African elephant. Turn up the volume for this one! Hope you enjoy this short clip.
