Selkirk Bison Company

Product Types: Bison and Pork

About Us
After many years of planning, in October of 2006 our first nine bison arrived followed by Midnight, our 2,400 lb bull who arrived in December. In May of 2009 with a 100% calf drop our herd increased by seven, with the potential of eight calves in due late spring/early summer of 2010. Our Tamworth pigs are an old heritage breed pasture pig that are rotated onto the paddocks when the bison are moved onto the next. They thrive on the grass and help to rejuvenate the pasture. They are in the pastures all year long, wintering in mobile huts and can spring and summer farrow in the pastures. We are in a growth mode, progressively increasing our acres of pasture with the assistance of the animals.

Practices (our standards for raising or making our products)
We are located North of Sandpoint in Elmira. While not organic, we take a holistic approach to raising our animals with no chemical fertilizers or herbicides. We are a grass feed operation with oats used as treats. We use cover crops to assist with weed control and are planting our long term pastures in grass legume mixes.

Additional Information
We are growing and expanding our bison operation due to limited availability,we will only have meat available during certain times of the year.
