The number of bison processed in an entire year is equal to cattle slaughter by noon on January 1 each year. “We know we are a niche market, but we’re okay with that,” says Adam Ulbricht, executive director, Minnesota Bison Association. According to Ulbricht, bison are extremely hardy and require very little maintenance, but will never truly be domesticated. “They don’t need help calving, they don’t need any kind of shelter and prefer to be out in the elements.” Ulbricht says bison is a very healthy source of red meat.
