Most people interviewed say Buffalo is the most flavorful meat they have ever tasted, with a sweeter and richer flavor than beef. Buffalo is naturally flavorful and tender and can be prepared much the same as beef, but with less cooking time. For more information, see our recipe section.
VALUE!
Buffalo falls into the gourmet or specialty meat category at your supermarket or meat market. The value of Buffalo is not what you pay, but what you get in return. Nutritionally you are getting more protein and nutrients with fewer calories and less fat. Buffalo is a dense meat that tends to satisfy you more while eating less.
HEALTH!
Scenic Mesa Ranch buffalo are handled as little as possible. They spend their lives on grass, as nature intended, never in a feedlot. They are not subjected to questionable drugs, chemicals or hormones. The members of the National Bison Association feel so strongly about this that they have a resolution opposing the use of these substances in the production of Buffalo for meat. Recently the federal government passed a law prohibiting the use of hormones in Buffalo.
NUTRITION!
Research by Dr. M. Marchello at the University of North Dakota has shown that the meat from Buffalo is a highly nutrient dense food because of the proportion of protein, fat, mineral, and fatty acids to its caloric value. Comparisons to other meat sources have also shown that Buffalo has a greater concentration of iron as well as some of the essential fatty acids necessary for human well being.
Grass fed buffalo provides:
Twice as much Beta-carotene as grain fed meat low in saturated fat higher in essential fatty acids with a good ratio of Omega 3's to Omega 6's Much more conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) Does not have dangerous stomach acid resistant E. Coli No pesticide residue from grains.
Better for the environment overall.
