The Minnesota Bison Association celebrated 30 years this weekend in Alexandria at their annual Spring Conference. Demand for Bison has been holding strong and keeping markets moving this year. Minnesota Bison Association Executive Director Adam Ulbricht says the industry continues to see record output. “On one hand we’re processing more animals than we ever have. On the other hand, the one big thing that’s holding everyone back is feed costs,” says Ulbricht. In addition to drought pressure, input costs for bison production in general remain high. “If we could get some feed costs to just come down a bit and meet an equilibrium where the crop guys and livestock guys can do well, that would be preferable.”
