Bison: America 's Original Health Food

Why bison? There are lots of good, healthy reasons.

Bison is sometimes called "American's Original Red Meat." We like to call it "American's Original Health Food." Our animals are raised on grass, not in feedlots. That means our hormone-free meat is high in protein and naturally low in fat and cholesterol.

Bison meat has a hearty, satisfying flavor and can be used in any recipe that calls for beef. Bison steaks, burgers, chili and lasagna are particularly delicious.

Our regular customers tell us they prefer the taste of bison over any other red meat. Many of them have health issues requiring a restricted diet. They're delighted to discover that bison meat is listed as "heart-healthy" by the American Heart Association.

Reader's Digest recently listed bison meat as one of the "five foods women need most." The magazine said bison provides "what diet-conscious women want – lots of iron and less fat than most cuts of beef." And, it added, " Buffalo meat can help boost energy and lower weight."

Lucky B Bison meat is:

• state-inspected.
• grass-fed, making the meat high in Vitamin E and in Omega 3 fatty acids.
• recommended by the American Heart association.
• raised naturally on native and improved Central Texas grasses.
• low in fat, cholesterol and calories
• raised with no artificial hormones and growth stimulants.
