Raising bison is not like raising cattle.
It requires different land planning, stronger fencing, deeper understanding of herd behavior, and a management system built around the instincts of a truly wild animal.
This complete, practical handbook was written for serious beginners, ranchers, homesteaders, and livestock keepers who want to raise American bison safely, legally, and profitably.
Inside this guide, you will learn:
• How much land bison really need and how to design pasture for long-term success
• How to build bison-proof fencing, gates, chutes, and handling systems
• Proper feeding, minerals, seasonal diet planning, and pasture rotation
• Understanding herd psychology, warning signs, and rut behavior before problems occur
• Safe handling methods that prevent injury and stress
• Health monitoring, disease prevention, vaccination, and parasite control
• Breeding, calving, and raising strong bison calves successfully
• Seasonal management strategies for winter, summer, and drought conditions
• Troubleshooting aggression, escapes, and common management mistakes
• Professional insights from experienced bison keepers
Whether you are starting your first bison ranch or improving an existing herd, this book gives you the real-world knowledge needed to work with bison instead of against their nature.
Clear, practical, and field-tested, this is the essential guide for anyone serious about raising and managing bison responsibly.
