What Sets Us Apart
We are committed to large-landscape field harvest.
The American bison, Bison bison, is North America's largest herbivore and a keystone species of the grassland ecosystem. When buffalo are allowed to move freely across great swaths of landscape they can feed on native grasses and gently disturb the earth with their hooves, avoiding damage to essential soil structure and overgrazing.
We only use humane field harvest.
Just as we give our buffalo the room to roam that they require in life, we believe wholeheartedly in honoring their dignity in death. 100% of our buffalo are field harvested on the prairie where they graze and live using our mobile harvest unit. They will never see the inside of a stock truck, feedlot, or slaughter plant, unlike 90% of the buffalo raised for meat in the United States.
Our buffalo are always 100% grass-fed and finished.
Wild Idea's commitment to large-landscape grazing and field harvest means that our buffalo are never feed grain or given antibiotics and hormones. From birth to death, 365 days a year, they are raised as nature intended - on the open prairie, with native grasses, free of GMOs, herbicides, and pesticides, and never subject to transport or confinement.
Our meat is a healthier alternative to traditional market offerings.
When compared to beef, chick, and plant-based meats, grass-fed and finished buffalo boasts less calories, a better Omega 3-to-6 ratio, and more protein.
