Tall Grass Bison

Tall Grass Bison is a family-owned farm in the rolling hills of Southern Iowa, raising 250 to 300 bison across 700 acres of converted crop ground and Iowa native oak savanna prairie. The farm traces its roots to 3 bison calves in 1976 and was formally founded in 1982 by Bob Jackson, a former backcountry ranger who spent more than 30 years in the remote areas of Yellowstone National Park. Jackson is the originator of herd social order management, a philosophy that centers on keeping bison in structured, extended family groups of 4 to 5 herds. The farm sells bison meat by the quarter, half quarter, and half animal, and also offers live bison sales. Buyers contact the farm directly to select from current inventory.
