All this is true yes but they are less medicated because they arent domesticated. They are much harder to raise and require more resources and land. Bison just arent economical as cattle.
I agree. Bison would be great to domesticate. Their meat really tasty and great quality. We should definitely up the bison population and feed the US citizens with that.
Bison are acclimatized and better for the prairies with less maintenence than cattle. This guy needs to diversify or retire! I'd much rather eat free range bison!

Bottom line is Richie Rich here doesn't think anyone has rights but him because he's all about money and himself. Using the same old lame arguments. He may loose his ranch, his livelihood, isn't that what we did to the bison and indigenous peoples land in this country.
I may loose my ranch, I may loose my livelihood, but he doesn't see the irony in his statement being that his people took all of that from the natives.😢
My Montana roots go back 140 years, so I say this with love, but cattle ranches like his are a thing of the past. Bison are FAR more important to us as inhabitants and caretakers of this great land than beef cattle are. So his way of life and profits are declining and that’s just the way it should be. Cattle had their time but now it’s time to repair our land and preserve it for future generations, instead of just letting boomers extract as much wealth as possible from our limited natural resources as they can, like locusts.
The bison have thousands of miles to roam free. No one seem to know just how big this country is. Let the poor natives buy land with all the money they make in their casinos and they can repopulate the buffalo, and they can make buffalo burgers, everybody happy.
Bison was here first #leaveourbisonalone and yes im native American and no cattle isn't more important and excuse me!! #letthebisonroam wished you would listen to the natives buffalo meat is way better than cattle meat the natives have had skin is this game for decades
Rancher encroached, stole, and killed to have what they have. Keep talking the woe woe me..welp this is what happens when you illegally obtain what's not years to begin with..it's called consequences of action..point blank..his a$$ needs to be over seas with his cattle where they came from..
We almost wiped out bison. We should figure out a way to harvest and maintain or even increase the population. While at the same time as we do the same with cows.
Ironic that he thinks the people who had their lands stolen don't have "skin in the game".
You spelled conquered wrong
@@clay119Guess the ranch owner's getting conquered then.
@@montanus5661 guess the reservations are getting conquered then
They have the Skin. Meat. and Bones,💯🦬🦬🦬🦬🦬❤
@@clay119 Ranchers are experiencing a bigger skill issue than the reservations.
Wasn’t the bison here before cattle?
Yes same with native americans.
So we're the Wooly mammoths.....so what's your point?
@@Jeff-fc3tw i think you know my point.
@@wienurr Absolutely I know your point. And my point is time marches on, some animals go extinct or become the lesser. That's just life.
Wasn't the typewritter, before the computer? Wasn't the model t before the F150?
Well your commercial reality is immoral. Sincerely, a Native American.
Seconded by a white guy who can admit whoever is in power will try and exploit everyone/everything.
funny how we "shouldn't go back in time" except when it is to strip women and LGBTQI of their rights. GOP greed has its own rules.

Bison is healthier to consume, is less medicated, has higher protein, and omega-3's.
All this is true yes but they are less medicated because they arent domesticated. They are much harder to raise and require more resources and land. Bison just arent economical as cattle.
Bison is very lean meat way better for you than cattle
@@Jabooty_Williams you realise we farm bison ,
@@jtither4646 i never said we didnt. I said it was harder and less practical.
@@Jabooty_Williams well with over 1700 farms running bison I guess it's easier than your claiming.
I ❤ Bison! Both cattle and bison need to exist. I want to see more done for bison ranchers including our Native American Indian tribes.
Bison were here first and that matters!
THEY BELONG HERE
I agree. Bison would be great to domesticate. Their meat really tasty and great quality. We should definitely up the bison population and feed the US citizens with that.
What if we give them a casino or something?
The natives who lived on THIS land STILL go unheard and unaccounted .Genocide speaks volumes.
Bison are acclimatized and better for the prairies with less maintenence than cattle. This guy needs to diversify or retire! I'd much rather eat free range bison!
Requires more land to raise a single bison than to raise a single cattle. The time of free range is over. They done put all the fences up.
They are protected, no one should be eating them!!! 🙏✝️🌎🇺🇸✌️💌
Ranchers are freeloading as it is. Save the buffalo!
Words of a freeloader. LAL
Ranchers steal water and do whatever they want whenever they want without ever considering how it may effect others.
@@worldsocold639they also destroy public blm lands instead of grazing on their property. Then they talk about freeloaders and people looking for government handouts when that's literally them...
Blatant greed.
Eugh....at least acknowledge that our country robbed and were beyond awful to the indigenous people. At least acknowledge that.
Old news. Move along

Someone needs to teach cattle ranchers that bison are edible.
People have fought to gain and loose land, but me i cant go through that. He is a hypocrite.
The bison have thousands of miles to roam free. No one seem to know just how big this country is.
Let the poor natives buy land with all the money they make in their casinos and they can repopulate the buffalo, and they can make buffalo burgers, everybody happy.
He doesn't even recognize the irony of his last sentence. I guess it's his turn to lose his ground. It's how it's going to be.
We could just switch to eating bison instead of cattle
Land and bisons back to the rightful owners!!!!! We will all win if we go back to "the old age"!!!!
Too many place fenced in now. Never will anything roam the country again..... ever. This is a pipe dream at this point
in AL we have bison ranch where we can eat them here in peidmont AL
Greed of the rancher
Let the Buffalo 🦬 roam free!
Keep fighting
Ranchers complain. A lot.
I’d just like to know when will the U. of Colorado drop the “Buffaloes” as their mascot…it’s so degrading.
He is a bisonist. Racist against bison. Sarcasm
Bison meat is tasty but it hasn’t fed more than cattle have.
Bison was here first #leaveourbisonalone and yes im native American and no cattle isn't more important and excuse me!! #letthebisonroam wished you would listen to the natives buffalo meat is way better than cattle meat the natives have had skin is this game for decades
If his philosophy is that it’s “how it’s going to be,” then I guess he should suck up his concerns about losing jobs and livelihoods, shouldn’t he?
A Chorus of Buffalo! Montana author.
Y’all gonna switch and start eating bison. Doubt it. Cows are more of a demand so the cows will stay.
The Rancher is objectively correct we also don’t need red meat prices to cost anymore than it already does
🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝
I enjoy Birds cats are an invasive species until 2.5 billion Birds every year should we get rid of the cats along with the cattle?
Actually we will see it again. Actually in the very near future.
So he wants the cattle bc he will lose his lively hood when natives like me need cattle to keep there lively hood but he’s more important
Rancher encroached, stole, and killed to have what they have. Keep talking the woe woe me..welp this is what happens when you illegally obtain what's not years to begin with..it's called consequences of action..point blank..his a$$ needs to be over seas with his cattle where they came from..
Bison were there first eh
Bison taste better
We almost wiped out bison. We should figure out a way to harvest and maintain or even increase the population. While at the same time as we do the same with cows.
how about. take ukraine money and buy more yellowstone land for the bison
Or just take the money from the bloated DOD and police department and use it for this.
I mean they do have casino's and fat monthly checks, soooo they got a pretty good deal compared to other conquered peoples.
Why doesn’t he raise Buffalo? It is a leaner meat, taste better and is Indigenous.✊🏼🦬
