The Cheyenne River Ranch is located between the Black Hills National Forest and Badlands National Park. This area was a Native stronghold. In "Ghosts of the Great Plains", Dan looks back and explains the history of our area and the Native Americans, and how we are moving forward to heal the land and rebuild relationships by bringing back the buffalo. We hope you give this important short (30 minute) film a watch.
This film was produced by our Wholesale Partners at "Natural Grocers". They carry our 100% grass-fed/grass-finished, humanely field harvested buffalo meat. Their stores are located throughout the United States.

Found your website quite by accident recently and just watched “Ghosts of the Great Plains”. The history lesson brought tears to my eyes several times, but the Wild Idea ranch and your dedication to reversing the devastation of the past gives me so much hope! I will only purchase buffalo products from Wild Idea going forward. I will NEVER support any company that puts bison (or cattle, for that matter) in feedlots. Never.
Add another hat off and hat in hand to your list of followers and admirers, Dan and Jill. You are doing what so many of us would like to do, and you are giving us the confidence to get it done.
Bless you and your family.
Brien, you woke me up. I would like to be composted as well. What a great idea! Go back to the earth that has sustained me
for my lifetime, and sustain the earth to pay it back!
Your Swiss friend,Claude🦋
I am a 74 year old Vietnam Combat Vet, and one of your customers. That the was the best documentary
I have ever watched. Every American should have to watch Ghosts of the Great Plains!!
Thank you, Ed
Wow, thank you all.
I loved this video. Thank you. Lovely way to close out the year.
Fantastic film! Dan, keep doing what you are doing for yourself and for all of us! You are a champion!
Absolutely fantastic video. I can see a lot of hard work went into producing it. Would love to stop by and meet you next time we go through Rapid.
Thank you all for your individual as well as collective effort bringing this story to the world through this presentation. Yes, the history is so tragic, the work at hand so great, but the future is bright because of people like all of you at, and those connected to, Wild Idea Buffalo including those of us who are healthier as we receive from your products and wealthier as we learn from your wisdom. This circle is ever expanding and the impact will becoming ever greater.
We look immediately now into a new year like none other experienced in our history. Huge changes will be forthcoming for the good of mankind, the environment, the animals, the birds, food sources; a time of restoration – history rewritten.
A fantastic and well produced film. Certainly worthy of viewing again. We may not be on the ranch helping you harvest, or mending fences, but we are happy to do what we can to support you by 100% sole sourcing ALL our red meat from you for several years now. It’s natural. It’s delicious. It’s healthy. The way it was meant to be. Thank you to the entire Wild Idea family!!!
This film, your work, ethos and commitment to the Great Plains and all that inhabit them is life affirming.
Thank you so much!

that daily practice we’ve given our heart to because it helps others, in it we remember what is truly important as our single purpose. we can in a moment pause in stillness and bask in Love’s Light we made to shine, trusting this time has high value for all. this isn’t arrogance, this is Truth.
Powerful!. Historically correct. Beautifully presented. It raises the warmth and spirt of one’s heart. Thank you.
