In the Buff
Aug 19, 2020
In celebration of World Photography Day, I've put together a collection of snapshots of what I am privileged to witness when in the buffalo herd. I hope you enjoy a short little timeout in this current state of uncertain times. Peace and Buffalo Love Around.

If my dad could have been much less citified, there’s the outside chance instead of the “birds and bees” talk he tried his best to get across, I might have heard an antelope and bison talk and become a bit better grounded in more relatable facts of life. Great pictures of the graphics of grasslands you all steward so expertly.
I am so much in awe of the beauty of the landscape and these animals. Super photos! Thank you for bringing such a valuable product to the market, and the education that comes along with it.
Ben – We do not harvest the older bulls for our meat supply and we do not do hunts.
Brenda – ANYTIME we harvest animals for food it is done humanely in the pastures where the bison are grazing. Our moveable abattoir and our team of skilled butchers go to them. We will NEVER change our standards and move away from humane field harvest. We do appreciate that this is important to you and we thank you for your support.
These are great Jill!! It takes a patient photographer to get those kinds of shots!
Absolument magnifique, merci.
Absolutely stunning! Thanks for all that you do and hugs to my home state! Peace and buffalo love to all.
Your humane harvest has been key to my purchase of your products – justifying the cost of shipping to California/buying enough not to incur the shipping charges. As you have grown and added sourcing partners, it is difficult to think that these same humane harvesting standards are being followed by your sourcing partners. Your ‘process’ was value driven, not profit driven.
So while I am happy to see your business grow, I am saddened to think that you are losing the diffrentiator for those of us who are reluctant meat eaters – willing to pay the price for meat we can eat and serve our family. with the nutritional benefits it provides, without thinking we have caused undue suffering to the animal who provided it to us.
Enjoy your photography, Jill. Viewing them makes me feel more connected with the buff, and the mission of sustainability. I appreciate being able to eat healthy with no guilt.
Thank you,
Melanie
