Single-Source Bison for Athletic Kitchens

If you’re responsible for fueling elite athletes, students, or high-output diners, protein quality isn’t negotiable.

Bluestem Bison delivers chef-driven, performance-grade bison raised, harvested, and processed with total control; so your menu, margins, and outcomes stay consistent.

Our bison are raised exactly as nature intended:

100% grass-fed and grass-finished
Never fed grain or supplemental feeds
Never administered vaccines, hormones, antibiotics, or synthetic inputs
Humanely field-harvested on open range

LEARN ABOUT OUR BISON

Why Field-Harvested Bison Performs Better

Our field-harvested approach directly impacts meat quality and cook performance.

By harvesting bison on open range and eliminating transport to conventional processing facilities, we avoid acute stress responses and excessive cortisol release.

This supports a normal post-harvest pH decline, resulting in:

Improved tenderness
Stable, vibrant color
Clean, consistent flavor
Predictable cook times
Reduced moisture loss

For chefs, that means less trim, fewer surprises, and repeatable results on the line—especially critical in high-volume or performance-driven kitchens.
