The Bison Insider

The cool fall weather has arrived and round up season is nearing. For the NBA, fall also means an annual legislative round up in Washington, D.C. NBA Executive Director Jim Matheson joins the program to recap another successful trip. Following that, we're going to dive into bison history with Rhonda Frasier of the All About Bison page and talk about her hard work to bring it all to life. Jud Seaman of Quality Auction Services kicks things off with a recap of current bison markets.  

Author, former bison rancher and warden with Parks Canada, Wes Olson, joins the program to discuss his new book—Guardians of the Buffalo: The Essential Guide to Bison Care. He'll provide insights insights into caring for bison and share personal stories from his time working with herds across Canada. Listen along as Jud Seaman of Quality Auction Services discusses the latest USDA bison meat reports.  Order the new book here.
