uffalo, or bison as they are properly called, once again roam the pastures of Q Creek Ranch. While once numbering in the thousands, now they are returned in the mere hundreds; however, the herd is being nurtured and grown. Stan Kroenke, owner of Q Creek, has always had a love for the Old West, conservation and preservation. These desires prompted him to bring buffalo back to Q Creek.

Our buffalo are allowed to roam and graze freely in large pastures. They are gathered in the fall when the calves are weaned. Q Creek buffalo are on the menu at the Blue Sky Grill in the Pepsi Center, or meat can be purchased from Q Creek.

Why Eat Buffalo?
Taste: People are discovering the deliciously healthy taste of buffalo. Buffalo meat tastes similar to fine beef, with a slightly sweeter and richer flavor. Bison is naturally flavorful and tender and can be prepared much the same as beef.
Nutrition: Research by Dr. M. Marchello at North Dakota State University 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 bison has a greater concentration of iron as well as some of the essential fatty acids necessary for human well-being. Readers' Digest magazine has even listed bison as one of the five foods women should eat because of the high iron content.

Buffalo Hunts
Buffalo can be harvested as either a meat hunt or trophy hunt. Meat hunts are prices according to market prices on an 18-24 month old animal. Trophy hunts are priced according to trophy quality. In addition to tasty and nutritious meat, a prime buffalo robe and horns are a byproduct of both meat and trophy hunts. All buffalo are 100% natural, steroid and hormone free.
