BISON: THE SUPERIOR RUMINANT

Built to endure the harshest extremes of the American plains, wild bison are among the most resilient land mammals on Earth—famously turning into a storm rather than running from it.

Ounce for ounce, wild bison meat and organs deliver an unparalleled concentration of highly bioavailable protein, vitamins, minerals, essential fats and other nutrients—making this iconic animal the most nutrient-dense source of nourishment the land provides

Specifically, bison has a higher ratio of polyunsaturated fatty acids to saturated fatty acids and three to four times more anti-inflammatory omega-3s than beef. Wild Bison also contain higher amounts of protein, iron, copper, zinc, and vitamins A and B12 than beef.

Bison is a major source of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), providing significantly more CLA than other non-ruminant meat sources such as pork, fish, chicken, and turkey. More specifically grass fed and finished animals have 300-500% more CLA than grain fed and finished animals. CLA from nature (i.e. animals) is vastly different from the synthetic CLA you find in synthetic supplements (our supplements are from nature, recognized by our bodies). Our organsupplements are just like eating the actual fresh organ as they are just freeze dried, milled and encapsulated. Period. Nothing added, nothing taken out. Pure nutrition, as nature intended.  

So why should you care about CLA? 

CLA is anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and it plays a pivotal role in the prevention of cardiovascular disease as well as cancer.

All of our bison organs are coming from bison that are free to roam on thousands and thousands of acres grazing on native wild prairie grasses all day and night. They are 100% prairie grass fed from start to finish. And the finish is especially important. Our zero stress, humane field harvest is a peaceful harvest which honors and dignifies the animal. Never experiencing the stress of going to a slaughter house, our Wild Bison are shot by a marksman from far away.  The humane field harvest is certainly less efficient and a much higher cost than industry-standard assembly line slaughter systems but an animal's quality of life, down to the final millisecond, is non negotiable to me. 

The American 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.

Just a few hundred years ago, there were 20-30 million buffalo roaming across our continent. Wild Mamas is committed to bringing back these magnificent mammals. We support the ranchers committed to raising Wild Bison the way nature intended.
