Wooden Nickel Bison are vegetarians. They eat a diet of fresh grass, hay, and whatever forage they can find on our 100-acre farm. They are never fed animal by-products and corn (grain) is used only as a treat if we need to encourage movement from one pasture to another. Wooden Nickel Brand Grass-Fed Bison Meat is a good source of various minerals essential to well-being and good health. Grass-Fed Bison Meat is naturally nutrient dense because of the proportion of protein, fat, minerals, & vitamins compared to its caloric value. It is lower in sodium, higher in iron, & moderate in zinc compared to other domestic meats.
