According to Leroy and Cindy Fricke - Cherokee Bison Farms is a small family-owned and operated farm located in the heart of Central Wisconsin. Since 1989, Leroy and Cindy, together with Leroy's parents, have been concentrating on raising American Bison. Currently, the herd size stands at about 250 animals. All our Bison are naturally raised. No chemicals, hormones, bone or blood-meal are used. We raise all of our own feed. We implement rotational grazing practices, not feedlots. The bison are grass-fed, with limited amounts of supplemental grain given to them in the winter. They are not, however, grain-finished. Bison is naturally lower in fat, calories and cholesterol than beef, pork, chicken or turkey! It's just as versatile as beef, but tastier and considerably more lean, and is never dry if it's not overcooked. If you're ever in the area, feel free to stop in at our small farm store. In addition to carrying our bison meats, we also sell our own pure Wisconsin Maple Syrup, our handmade primitive crafts, seasonal garden goodies and our bison robes. We also have a limited supply of tanned bison leather, skulls and bones. Cherokee Bison Farms also sells their products on Saturdays at the Dane County Farmers' Market (from late April to early November), and shipping throughout the United States is also possible.
