Discover the Heart of Chinook Bison Ranch!
Established in 2011, Chinook Bison Ranch is a home where our bison thrive. Located in Thompkins, Saskatchewan, Nestled in lands kissed by the wild Chinook winds of Canada, we started by bringing together several small grain farms to create a natural haven. Here, our bison are not just raised; they grow up as a part of our family, roaming freely and grazing off the land.
Sustainable Ranching: Harmony with Nature
At High Plains Bison, we believe in living in harmony with nature. Our bison enjoy the freedom of the plains, grazing in wide-open spaces under the big sky. We've teamed up with top experts in land, grass, and bison care to develop a unique way of looking after our land - our Ranch Vitality Calculator™. This special tool helps us make sure our land is never overcrowded, ensuring our bison always have plenty of food and water.
Compassionate Care for Every Bison
At the heart of High Plains Bison is our commitment to the well-being of every bison. We keep things natural – minimal human contact, no antibiotics, growth hormones, or steroids, ever. Our bison graze on a diet that's as nature intended, free from any animal by-products. It's not just about raising bison; it's about respecting and nurturing them.

All High Plains Bison steaks are 100% Certified Bison—a quality seal that ensures production with strict ranching, animal welfare, food safety, and processing standards.
Never Ever Promise
High Plains Bison are raised the natural way – no growth hormones, antibiotics, steroids, or animal by-products, ever. We proudly adhere to strict, nationally recognized standards for animal welfare, ensuring a healthy life for our bison.
Chilled Exclusively By Air™
Our High Plains Bison products are lovingly crafted in small batches using our unique Chilled Exclusively by Air™ method. This special air-chilling process, instead of the usual liquid methods, locks in the delicious, natural flavors and tenderness, while also enhancing food safety.

Cook to Tenderness
Bison steaks are lean and will lose tenderness when cooked past medium. Even those who order beef well-done will prefer a medium-rare bison steak.
Check the Temperature
Trust your meat thermometer, not your eyes! Use a thermometer to cook your bison steak to the desired doneness.
Love it! Let it Rest
Allow the flavorful Juices to spread before you cut your steak. Let it rest for double the time of beef.
