A highly nutrient dense food (the proportion of protein, fat, minerals and fatty acids are high when compared to its caloric value.) When compared to other animals from a feed lot, the bison have a greater concentration of iron as well as other essential nutrients. The meat from grass-fed bison can contain up to four times as much vitamin E as feedlot cattle. This potent antioxidant has been shown to lower the risk of heart disease, cancer and Alzheimer’s disease.
The fat content in bison meat is usually a third of that found in cattle fattened in the feedlot. Because the meat is lower in fat also means that it is lower in calories. A 6 oz buffalo steak can have as much as 100 fewer calories than a steak from a grain fed steer. You could loose up to 10 pounds a year just by switching your main source of meat to grass fed buffalo.
Bison is also high in omega-3 fat. Up to sixty percent of the fatty acid content in the grasses on the plains contain omega-3 and are found in abundance in buffalo allowed to graze on the natural grasses. The benefits from a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids can not be overstated. These benefits include cancer prevention to lowering cholesterol as well as reducing inflammation.

Two of my three cats love Canine Cuisine. (The third just wants chicken.) I’ve recently transitioned my felines to no-grain, no-gluten cat food, and having Canine Cuisine around, served raw, is a great treat for them. Feline Foodista? Cats are obligate carnivores. They’re happy.
As far as the food for myself and human compatriots: skirt steak and flank steak: awesome. Tongue: awesome. Chiruzo sausage: perfectly seasoned and awesome. Rib eye, also excellent!
I first discovered you via the book, “Buffalo for the Broken Heart”. This has been my second order.
