Since 1985, Dr. King has gathered, nurtured, and stewarded a Bison herd with vast diversity in order to restore, strengthen and optimize Bison genetics, once nearly wiped out. Bison in the United States went from an estimated 60 million down to approximately 1,000. This radical decline narrowed the genetic pool dramatically. Naturally occurring Black Bison became very rare.
In the 1980s and ’90s Dr. King’s team conducted blood typing tests to discover and incorporate new Bison bloodlines into our herd. Today, we have added genetic testing. From this exhaustive search for Bison diversity we have both acquired and selectively bred for Black Bison, which many people find the most attractive. Our herd offers confirmation (healthy structure, balance) as well as productivity: achieving the greatest gain, thriving on grass and growing to the largest size, in the shortest period of time.
For more than 30 years, we have developed an exclusive, elite herd of Black Bison with high quality in both beauty and great size. Bulls from our herd of Black Bison are sought after to add into other breeding herds of Bison. The darker Bison often sell higher than the traditional brown Bison. Their hides are sought after for their beauty and preference and well as their trophy mounts. Our Black Bison are large framed, thick, meaty and attractive Bison to complement the nicest of Bison herds.
Woods/Plains cross- we have bulls and cows all different ages anything from calves-5 year old bulls for sale contact mike at (828) 777-4578 for more information thanks
Woods Plains Cross Bison program since 1985. The results of this program provides exceptional highbred vigor with the largest Bison Bull and Cow on record. The bull is over 3,000 lbs. and the cow is over 1,5oo lbs.
We now have our second generation of offspring where we have crossed the Woods/Plains Bison with the rare European/Wisent Bison to get what we call the “Trifecta”. The Trifecta is the first of our efforts to restore the global genetics of the Bison for the first time. With the genetics of the Bison globally being so depleted we see this effort to be vital to maximizing the diversity of the Bison’s global genetics.
Influenced by the White Buffalo Calf Woman legend of the Lakota, the Native Americans say that the birth of a white buffalo is a poignant and prophetic sign that brings about purity of body, mind, and spirit, and that it calls forth the unification of all nations.
Approximately 60 million American Bison roamed the North American plains when the first pioneers settled the frontier. They represented an abundant food source for Native Americans and settlers alike, offering longevity and strength to all who partook. Thanks to efforts of early preservationists and concerned private breeders, the bison population was given enough protection to slowly rebound. Today, more than a half-million of them again thrive on native ground. A growing demand for a healthy, eco-friendly, sustainable meat source has given ranchers and farmers incentive to raise this great animal.
The American buffalo are special in their ability to thrive within diverse climates. Their sturdy bloodline has stood the test of time, proving them more resilient to the many complications common to modern livestock. Unlike most modern livestock, bison free-range without the need for barns or synthetic structures, which preserves natural resources.
We have white bison for sale, both cows and bulls, available at different ages. Call Mike Ellington at (828) 777-4578 for pricing.
