Bison IS yummy. Lean and extreme beef taste.

Bison is yummy! I hope they don't end up shooting all of them. A couple of years ago some bison got out (further west of us), they ended p shooting all of them. The meat went to food banks around. What a huge loss for the bison farmer.

I was wrong about the meat went to food banks. I just looked up the news article from a few years ago. Here's what I found: "The remains of the bison, which were bred for meat, were to be carted away and destroyed; their final resting place was unclear."

Why kill the animal and waste the meat, when it could feed so many in need ? .....

 

[RollingAcres]

I totally agree, what a waste!

 

[CntryBoy777]

Someone would have to foot the bill for the processing and it would take organization for that....they will stop the threat, but don't care about the waste....gov't.....where waste is a habit and the owner suffers the loss...and some places will send him a bill for the man hrs spent....go figure....

Shame it could not be processed meat. On the other hand, the farmer had a responsibility to keep them penned. Bison as NOT easy to keep penned!! HUGE, STRONG, Dangerous.

I suspect the killing was what had to be done for safety Then, let's face it...where/how to transport and still have viable meat?? Cleanup of such slaughter left a multitude of issues.

Lot of concerns from this viewpoint.
