Background on Morning Star Bison Ranch

Located on Southern Vancouver Island in the Cassidy area, is the Morning Star Bison Ranch. Bob Wilson, long time area resident and owner of the Bison Ranch has always loved working with nature in a natural way.

Raising Buffalo substantially reduces the consumption of non-renewable fossil fuels and the use of chemical fertilizers and herbicides that in these modern times are used to grow many of the food products that end up on your dinner table.

Bison require different handling than cattle and other livestock. Bison are much more excitable in close quarters and they need to be raised calmly, in a low stress, natural environment. Our Buffalo are pasture raised, feeding primarily on natural grasses and sometimes finished with the addition of a small ration of grain in their diet. Fresh clean water is always available. Sub therapeutic antibiotics and growth stimulants are never used!!!

Bison Herd

In Canada, domestic herds now number in the hundreds of thousands of animals. Here at the Morning Star Bison Ranch, we and our partner BC ranchers are happy to be able to supply our fellow British Columbians and Island neighbours with this all natural, low fat, gourmet health food.

Nature's Very Best ~ is Back !
