After three years, It is with great sadness that we are announcing the closure of Holston River Bison. Circumstances beyond our immediate control have forced this decision. All 32 bison have been sold and moved to the Lazy G Ranch in Cookeville. Our fondness for and affinity with these magnificent animals has not dimmed and we will continue to support their restoration and expansion. We still have some meat … if you are interested, you can reach us at [email protected] or by message here.

The U.S national mammal is the American bison, officially designated by President Barack Obama on May 9, 2016, through the National Bison Legacy Act. This was done to recognize the animal’s historical, cultural, and economic importance and its significance in American history, representing strength, resilience and conservation.
