Why Primal Bison

We don't raise every animal ourselves anymore. But we know every rancher we work with.

We choose partners who raise bison the right way — on grass, without shortcuts, without compromise. Then we stand behind every cut we ship.

The science

What makes bison different.

More protein per ounce than beef. Less fat than skinless chicken breast. The fat it does have looks more like wild salmon than feedlot cattle — high omega-3, low omega-6. USDA data, not ours.

We make sure every animal we sell was raised grass-fed and grass-finished with no hormones, no antibiotics, and no grain at any point. The label says what it says because we checked.

Our Story

Home ranch. Partner ranches. Same bar.

We raised our own herd on Memphis Ranch for years. Last year our family went through something hard, and we made the call to sell the herd while we rebuild.

That didn't change what we believe about how bison should be raised. We source now from ranches that meet the same standards we held ourselves to — 100% grass-fed and grass-finished, no hormones, no antibiotics, no grain.

Memphis Ranch is still home. The herd is coming back. And every animal we sell, whether we raised it or sourced it, meets the same bar.

From the people we feed
Outstanding bison. We have been buying from Memphis Ranch all summer at the Fort Collins Farmers’ Market and now know they deliver, too. It is a joy to have a real relationship with Greg, Tami, and the ranch.
Cynthia E. Fort Collins, CO
The best bison I have ever had. I have tried every cut; my favorite is the bratwurst. Great people behind it, too.
Mike B. Denver, CO
I can’t say enough about this family and the quality they raise. Grass-fed start to finish, and the difference shows at the table.
