Observations

My perennial grassland did not suffer in productivity during a drought and excelled in a wet year.
Bird and mammal diversity on the grassland is always strong. Three dozen sharp-tailed grouse frequent a lek each spring.

Certifications

Grass-fed (The bison eat only pasture forage and grass alfalfa bales in winter. Their only supplements come in the Redmond salt from Utah mines and calcium carbonate I mix with the granular salt. They receive no injections of any kind.)
Land to market

How to buy

Repeat customers buy half or entire carcass, or buy 10 or 20 pounds of packaged meat at a time. Occasional farmers market sales.
