981219 Buffalo - Butchered, Portioned & Shipped to Order

December 3, 1998

REDFIELD, SD Own your very own buffalo (bison), butchered, portioned, cryovac-packaged and shipped to order.

This little gift from Gourmet Bison Company is not for everyone ($15,000), and $5,000 more to cater a gourmet dinner party.

No longer an endangered species, the North American bison (buffalo) has become a mainstay in healthy eating, gracing the menus of the nation's top restaurants. “That's because buffalo has a sweet robust flavor that's as versatile as beef, but with far less fat and calories and more protein, iron and nutrients,” says Jason Sparling, President and CEO of Gourmet Bison Company.

Sparling says that buffalo also has less fat than chicken, turkey, lamb, pork, venison, salmon and many other fish.

“This extraordinary gift is healthy, delicious and truly unique, and is offered exclusively by Gourmet Bison Company, our South Dakota based company with its own free range buffalo ranch,” adds Sparling.

Buffalo offers the same cuts as beef. The gift will yield: 20 filet mignons, 40 New York steak strips, 40 rib eyes, 2 standing rib roasts, 100 lbs. of buffalo hot dogs, 100 lbs. of burger, 50 lbs. minute steak, 50 lbs. fajita meat and 40 lbs. of London broil, all USDA approved. Also comes complete with cooking instructions and recipe ideas.

“You don't have to be a gourmet chef to enjoy buffalo. It can be grilled, steamed, baked and even microwaved. Because of its low fat content, it cooks faster, so cook buffalo at a lower temperature,” concludes Sparling.

If this gift is a little too steep for your pocketbook, Gourmet Bison Company offers the only buffalo club membership. Members can receive monthly portions of prime buffalo steaks, burgers and/or hot dogs with different plans for $29.95, $49.95 or $79.95 per month. Special offers on Gourmet Bison Company products will be made throughout the year to club members, and there's no cost to join.
