Meet Jilian Jones
Many of you are aware that the founder of Wild Idea Buffalo Company is Dan O'Brien. But, over the past 21 years (Yes, it's really been 21 years!), more of the family has become integrated into the business and have vital roles that continue to move our greater mission of regenerating and conserving the American Great Plains Prairie forward. So, meet Jilian Jones, daughter of Dan & Jill O'Brien and Wild Idea's General Manager.
Where Our Buffalo Roam & How They Are Raised
Did you know that 90% of the bison raised for food in this country and in Canada are raised in the cattle feed-lot model? Did you also know that confining animals and feeding them a high acid diet, such as grains, make those animals more susceptible to caring dangerous forms of E. coli?
The Return of the American Bison
You are going to love this short film, "The Return of the American Bison," produced by Nebraska Educational Television. It features our very own Dan O'Brien, with the majority of the bison footage filmed on our ranch. The drone shots are spectacular, and they will give you a better idea of where your buffalo meat comes from and how it is raised. You don’t want to miss it!
"Time-Out" In The Buffalo Herd
A couple of weeks ago we reminded you of the ingredients of our buffalo meat: Fresh Water, Native Grass, & Pure Sunshine. We thought you might enjoy seeing our buffalo in their natural world. Our herd roams over the prairie much like they did over a thousand years ago, regenerating the earth as they graze naturally.

Home For The Holidays
A few weeks ago, we moved the buffalo into the pasture that borders the Cheyenne River in preparation for moving them onto their winter pasture on the Buffalo Gap National Grasslands over Thanksgiving weekend. Each time we do this, I am reminded of the first epic event that took place 14 years ago.
The Dream Continues
When the Great Plains were young there were no humans to manage them. It was like one enormous ranch, managed on the single principal of natural selection. In those days the Great Plains changed so slowly that, for all practical purposes, they were in stasis - perpetually beautiful and wild.
