Embracing the Legacy of the American Prairie
Nestled in the heart of Leeds, ND, the North Prairie Bison Ranch paints a serene picture of the American prairie, where the legacy of bison ranching comes to life. Born from the rich heritage of the North Prairie community in 1993, this ranch is a testament to the time-honored bond between the land and its majestic inhabitants, the bison.
Sustainability and Stewardship: The Heartbeat of North Prairie
Not merely a ranch, North Prairie is a beacon of sustainability and ethical stewardship, providing vital employment opportunities to the local community and fostering a deep connection with nature for those who wander through its gates. With a commitment to 100% waste containment, accredited by the State of ND, the ranch exemplifies environmental responsibility, transforming previously cultivated land into a thriving sanctuary for bison.
Certified Bison Excellence

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.
