20th Birthday Party Celebration!

19 comments

 You Are Invited!

For the past twenty years, Wild Idea Buffalo Company has been conserving and regenerating our prairie grasslands, by bringing back the buffalo. In working with other like-minded ranchers, along with tribal herds, and conservation groups we have positively affected over two hundred thousand acres of grasslands!

This growing sustainable ranching movement has also supplied the healthiest and best-tasting meat on the planet for consumers like you that care. Although the work continues for all of us in our roles as, ranchers, educators, and consumers - we are gathering to celebrate what we have accomplished, which couldn’t have happened without you.

We hope you will consider joining us for our 20th Birthday Celebration, November 3rd on National Bison Day!

For those attending from out of the area and needing lodging, we have set up a great rate of $69.00 for you at the Rushmore Plaza Holiday Inn.
