Question 1

Q: Why do you only sell in shares?

Accepted Answer

A: We sell our bison meat in shares due to our on-site processing facility and custom exemption, which require us to pre-sell animal shares or whole animal units.

This method aligns with our commitment to being a true farm-to-table operation, ensuring that our customers receive the freshest, ethically raised bison meat directly from us.

By avoiding middlemen, outside suppliers, and processors, we maintain the highest quality standards and transparency in our operations, providing you with naturally delicious, humanely treated, nutritionally rich bison meat.

Question 2

Q: Why should I preorder bison meat from Bluestem Bison Ranch?

Accepted Answer

A: Preordering from Bluestem Bison Ranch is essential because it is the only legal method by which we can sell our meat. By preordering, you secure a share of a bison, ensuring that the meat you receive has been produced, handled, and processed to the highest standard exclusively by our team. This system guarantees that our bison are ethically raised, humanely treated, and nutritionally rich, aligning with our commitment to providing naturally delicious bison meat. Preordering also helps us meticulously plan, manage, and maintain our ranching practices, ensuring sustainability and the utmost care for our animals. Additionally, it allows us to offer a direct ranch-to-table experience, providing transparency and quality assurance to our customers.

Question 3

Q: How is Bluestem Bison Ranch different from other companies offering bison meat online?

Accepted Answer

A: Bluestem Bison Ranch is a true farm-to-table operation. We privately own and manage our bison and the land they roam, overseeing every step from birth through humane field harvest.

Our bison live naturally, grazing on native grasses their entire lives, never confined or transported, and raised without antibiotics, synthetic hormones, or cross-breeding. All breeding is natural and species-pure.

Unlike most online bison sellers, we control the entire process. We field harvest, process in our on-ranch facility, and personally deliver to our customers. This hands-on approach ensures ethically raised, humanely treated bison and exceptionally clean, nutrient-dense meat you can trust—direct from the source.

Question 4

Q: Why don’t you have meat available all year?

Accepted Answer

A: We prioritize the natural lifecycle and well-being of our bison, which means we do not have meat available all year round. We manage our herd in direct synchrony with nature, selectively field harvesting the number of animals based on the availability of natural resources on the ranch. The humane field harvest generally takes place toward the end of summer after the bison have had optimal grazing on fresh green grasses. This approach ensures that our bison are raised in an environment that reflects their natural grazing and growth patterns, resulting in ethically raised, naturally delicious, and nutritionally rich bison meat. By aligning our practices with nature, we offer meat that is not only superior in quality but also produced with the utmost respect for the animals and the environment. This seasonal availability ensures that our customers receive the freshest and most nutritious meat possible.

Question 5

Q: Do you ship meat?

Accepted Answer

A: We prioritize delivering the freshest, frozen, and highest quality bison meat directly to you. We achieve this by carefully packaging our products and working with reliable delivery couriers across the country. Our commitment to outstanding customer service means that each order is handled with meticulous care.

Question 6

Q: Why is delivery preferred when purchasing meat?

Accepted Answer

A: At Bluestem Bison Ranch, we prioritize ensuring that our bison meat arrives fresh, frozen, and safe directly to your door. Given that our meat is non-replaceable and cannot be exchanged, we prefer delivery over other methods. This preference stems from the fact that shipping is never guaranteed, which could compromise the quality and safety of our highly valued product.

By opting for delivery, we can better control the conditions under which the meat is transported, preserving its premium quality and making sure it reaches you in the best possible state. This commitment to quality is a cornerstone of Bluestem Bison Ranch's ethos, focused on providing naturally delicious, ethically raised, and nutritionally rich bison meat directly from the source to our discerning customers.

Question 7

Q: How is the meat packaged?

Accepted Answer

A: At Bluestem Bison Ranch, our premium meat products are meticulously vacuum-sealed and frozen using top-quality 4-milliter pouches. Burger comes frozen in convenient 1-pound individual meat bags, making it easy to use just the right amount for your meal preparation.

This packaging method is essential for maintaining the meat’s freshness and flavor, ensuring that you receive the highest quality product available on the market. Meat can be conveniently stored in your deep freezer for up to two years without compromising its quality.

Question 8

Q: Are there subscription options for your bison meat?

Accepted Answer

A: Yes, we offer subscriptions through animal shares. We harvest once a year and can deliver meat semiannually. This ensures a consistent supply of premium bison meat tailored to your needs.

Question 9

Q: How do I become a shareholder in Bluestem Bison Ranch?

Accepted Answer

A: By ordering a whole bison or a share of a bison, you automatically become a shareholder in Bluestem Bison Ranch. This means the animal you fully own with an entire share purchase, or partially own with a smaller share purchase, grazes freely on our ranch until it is harvested at the optimal time. Your order not only assures you of nutrient-rich, ethically raised bison meat but also directly supports our commitment to regenerative agriculture, ethical farming, and local ranching. When you become a shareholder, you're contributing to a transparent, farm-to-table experience that promotes sustainability and food security. This unique model allows you to be directly involved in the ethical and sustainable practices of our ranch.
