High Plains Bison

High Plains Bison markets bison meat and became part of Rangeland Bison through an asset sale announced in April 2025.

Ownership

The transaction adviser says Rangeland acquired substantially all High Plains assets, including affiliated herds and ranch operations, and would operate in the U.S. as High Plains Bison USA Inc.

Sourcing

High Plains’ ranch story describes sources in Montana, the Dakotas and Canada.

Practices

High Plains claims free-choice feeding without animal by-products, no antibiotics ever and no growth hormones or steroids.

Practices

Certified Bison names High Plains as a participating brand. Its ranch standard calls for pasture-raised, grain-finished bison and low-stress handling.

Practices

Certified Bison’s processing requirements include continuous air chilling without liquid infusion and E. coli test-and-hold controls; these are program rules, not a particular lot’s test results.
