Our American Buffalo are grass raised, they are on pasture in the summer and we feed them hay taken off our land in the winter. We do rotational grazing which gives them fresh new shoots approximately every three days. I will give them some grain just as treat, to get them to come when I want. It helps me get them into the barn and through the handling system a little easier.
We are not certified organic. The reason for the lack of certification is that we have to put a little processed fertilizer on the hayfields about once every 5 years or so, whenever the soil samples show we need some help. We do this because the compost we are using is lacking a little in some of the nutrients and after a while we must add a little extra.
We process our animals in a USDA inspection processing plant just down the road in Guilford. It is a small plant where the inspector is not rushed thus insuring a thorough inspection. All the meat is vacuumed packed which means a longer shelf life.
If you have a heart condition and like red meat, ask your Doctor about buffalo meat. You may be pleasantly surprised on what they advise you. Click here for more information on "Healthy Red Meats".
