Bison - The Native Beef
Whitefeather Meats owes it's start to Bison, commonly known as "The
American Buffalo" and the only part of the bovine (beef) family native to North America.
It was
in 1987 that the Freddie Perkins Family purchased their first 3 bison from a rancher in Lodi, Ohio and Whitefeather
Farms began. After a lifetime of experience with livestock that included farming with draft horses and milking dairy cows, the
Perkins Family quickly adapted to caring for these incredible animals and grew to love and respect the beasts that once
roamed and dominated the North American Plains for so many years.
In 1994 Whitefeather Farms was relocated
and purchased a USDA meat processing facility to become the only bison farm and USDA processing facilty all
at one location. Whitefeather Meats was born. The bison raised by the Perkins Family here at Whitefeather Meats truly
are unique. The bison we raise are perhaps the only bison anywhere to be raised, harvested, processed, with the meat available
for purchase; all done at one location.
The bison raised here are fed a diet of grass, hay, and chopped
corn silage (this process chops the entire corn stalk). The bison are raised free of growth hormones, steroids, or antibiotics. We
are a health conscious family and are pleased to provide the public with the same healthy all natural meat we enjoy on our
plates.
Once a staple of Early American Life, and an important part of the diet of the native
people that preceded them, bison have enjoyed a much deserved comeback into the life and culture of modern America.
Renowned for their impressive stamina and ability to survive in all types of weather conditions, bison truly are an
animal to admire. These facts alone are enough to perk anyone's interest; however, that's only a small part of what makes
bison so special.
The quality of meat bison provides is superior to any other red meat by nutritional
and taste standards. Nutritionally bison comes in with 35% more protein, 70% less fat, 50% lower cholesterol, and
HALF the calories of beef. Bison meat is moist, tender, and satisfying. It has no gamey or wild taste but has a pleasantly
sweet flavor. Bison are a part of the bovine family, the same family as beef, and although some people think they are
related to deer or elk, deer and elk however; are more closely related to horses than bison.
Bison is
hypoallergenic and can be eaten by anyone who is allergic to other red meats.
Bison is a great choice
for athletes, body builders, and power-lifters, as well as anyone who is in search of a healthy red meat. We embrace
the philosophy that you are what you eat; and promote bison as the healthiest source of red meat anywhere!
