vs
Bison Over Beef
Bison and beef differ significantly in several key aspects. Bison meat is notably leaner than beef, with lower fat content and fewer calories per serving. Despite its leanness, bison meat offers a rich, slightly sweeter flavor that many find distinctive and enjoyable. In terms of nutrition, bison is generally higher in protein and provides essential nutrients like iron and zinc. Additionally, bison are typically raised on open pastures and fed a natural diet, which appeals to those seeking sustainable and environmentally friendly food choices. Overall, choosing bison over beef can offer a healthier, leaner option without sacrificing flavor or nutritional value.
Feeding
True Grit Bison are fed minerals, hay, molasses, and oats based on their age. As bison get closer to finishing, we allow them free choice feed – meaning they have access to high quality oats, hay and water as desired.
Butchering
We select our butchers based on the cleanliness of their facility, expertise, and reputation. All our butchers have been approved by Alberta Health Services and are regularly inspected.
Handling
We handle bison in a low stress environment to review the animals’ overall health and to prevent worms using Ivomec. A happy herd is a healthy herd.
