The majestic buffalo from the days of the western frontier are now available on the grassy plains of Southwestern Arkansas. This wholesome meat is pure grass fed bison. Just like the American Indians had in the days of old. We invite you to come down for a beautiful trophy bull or a young meat bull for your freezer! These are day hunts and local processing is available for approximately $425.00. This price includes skinning and packaging the meat in small packages for your freezer. Legacy staff transports the buffalo directly after the harvest to the processor. Great meat to eat and better for your family than mass processed meat loaded with additives. Food and lodging is available at our beautiful lakeside lodge for $150.00 per person, or you may stay at local motels that are only 12 miles from our ranch. The buffalo range freely on our 3000 acre ranch. Please call for booking and date availability. We harvest buffalo year round with no license required.

Buffalo Nutritional Facts
Buffalo is an excellent red meat source low in fat, high in protein, rich in flavor. Research done by Dr. M. Marchello, University of North Dakota, has shown that buffalo is a highly nutrient-dense food because of the proportion of protein, fat, minerals and fatty acids to its caloric value. Comparisons also show that buffalo has a greater concentration of iron as well as some of the essential fatty acids.

A long time ago the Native Americans and frontiersmen who ate mostly buffalo had great endurance, agility and stamina. Research is currently being conducted on buffalo to help us better understand the reasons for this. Due to their independent natures, buffalo are handled as little as possible. They spend their lives on grass, much as they always have, and very little time in the feedlot. Because of this, there is no need for artificial growth stimulants or sub-therapeutic use of antibiotics.
Comparisons of the nutritional values of buffalo have shown that buffalo meat is low in fat and calories and high in protein and nutrients. In short, with buffalo you are paying for a red meat source that is high in protein, low in fat, low in calories, and a red meat that fits into the federal government's dietary recommendations.
