Our Family
Ruhter Bison is a family-owned  ranch dedicated to the conservation of land and wildlife.  Our commitment to a healthy lifestyle is demonstrated by supplying quality grass-fed bison meat as a healthy alternative to more traditional sources of meat. All our bison are 100% pasture-raised and hormone/antibiotic free.   
Environmental conservation and wildlife management are part of our family values with several family members even working in wildlife management, pasture and crop science, environmental toxicology and water management. 

Optimization of bison health and production is achieved with increased sustainable farming each year.  Farming practices extend to native wildlife as well with more than 15 acres set aside for wildlife habitat in addition to the pastures for the bison.  Deer, coyote, and pheasant are permanent residents with periodic sighting of bats, long tail weasel, red fox, numerous songbirds, hawks, waterfowl and many more.   Even snakes are safe from persecution.   NO HUNTING IS ALLOWED.
