Are Durham Ranch bison raised with steroids or hormones?
Durham Ranch bison are raised without hormones or steroids. In fact, it is against federal laws to use these substances in bison.
Are the bison administered antibiotics?
Antibiotics are only used on Durham Ranch bison in emergency animal welfare situations and are not used for growth-promotants at sub-therapeutic levels.
How are the animals raised?
In order to provide a consistent, high-quality product on a year-round basis, Durham Ranch bison meat comes from animals that have been pasture-raised and grain-finished. The length of time the meat animals are finished depends on many factors including but not limited to age and environmental issues (like droughts). The type of energy used in the rations for finishing varies and might include barley, wheat, corn, soy beans, grass hay and alfafa, etc.
Are bison an endangered species?
With the help of private ranchers and conservationists, bison have made a storied comeback and are not an endangered species, and in fact are not in danger of becoming one. There are currently nearly 400,000 bison in North America.
Are bison crossbred with cattle?
While there is an animal called a beefalo, the meat they produce is clearly labeled separately from bison or buffalo. We at Durham Ranch and the National Bison Association are dedicated to maintaining the integrity of the all-natural buffalo and believe strongly enough to have adopted a CODE OF ETHICS that specifically prohibits crossbreeding bison with any other species of animal.
