The wife told me she wants buffalo meat. Anyone have a good idea on where to get one thats not to outrageously over priced. Thanks for the replies and I found a place and booked it. It was a blast. I took a nice bull and he is going to provide great meals for months to come. I made a 40 yard shot on him and he didnt go very far. Radsav the exit hole was huge

Just before we were getting ready to leave my brother decided he wanted some meat.. We spotted a lone cow and the stalk was on. He made a 45 yard shot with my bow and filled his freezer also

There was a thread on here about a ranch out in E. Montana. I think it was called the Crazy Woman Bison Ranch or something like that. Prices seemed pretty reasonable if I recall.

It's called that; prices are 1500 for the bull (yearling) and then you have to pay for everything else or arrange for it to be done. They offer names and prices on their website and remember this would be a shoot not a hunt.

Montana for a cow 2 year old was $750 two years ago... My mind is slipping can't remember the farm, but it was owned by big bad old Ted and Hanoi Jane..

I think I remember Bearpaw saying the price has recently gone up drastically for some reason.

Check out your butcher at Fred Meyer. They used to have sales on all kinds of cuts about every other week. I don't buy meat at the store very ofter but I know it was reasonably priced. Good steaks.

Whitpirate · « **Reply #11 on:** February 16, 2013, 11:08:45 PM »

If you are looking for just a few cuts... I've ordered from this site a fair bit.

The meat is under heavy demand because it's so healthy which is why buffalo has increased so much in price. At this price (which is very reasonable in today's market) a whole buffalo would be $3352.00. If you just want some meat these 1/8 buffalo packages are actually a pretty good deal. A guy from New York called me a couple months ago for some meat, he is paying $19.99 per pound at the market back there for buffalo.

1/8 Buffalo

10 lbs. boneless Roasts
20 lbs. Ground Bison
2 Filet Mignon Steaks
4 Ribeye Steaks
4 New York Strips
4 Top Sirloin Steaks

$419.00
Shipping Included

MLBowhunting · « **Reply #15 on:** March 18, 2013, 07:24:55 AM »

Down in Oregon. The bull cost 1600 and the cow was 400

I just looked them up and didn't see the prices that low. Sent them an email to.see?

I wouldn't lie. The charge by the hanging weight. Dont believe everything on the internet. They changed how they run their business

carpsniperg2 · « **Reply #24 on:** April 15, 2013, 09:59:50 PM »

Oh no we were not meaning that. Just going by what there site said and what you said. Did not know if they had some special going on or something not listed on there site since there is a huge difference in price. With it only being a month ago. I didn't see how they could go to up 5x the money on a cow and like 2x on the bull.

For sure we would never believe everything on the net. When it's on the owners web page that is why we would think to ask why the difference on prices.

MLBowhunting · « **Reply #25 on:** April 15, 2013, 10:08:45 PM »

I know I was just laughing to myself writing it. They are very friendly folks and I had fun and filled my freezer for cheap

carpsniperg2 · « **Reply #26 on:** April 15, 2013, 10:19:42 PM »

Heck cheaper then beef at the price you got. I am going to have to give them a call. The price per head they have listed is pretty expensive. If they are still doing a hanging weight, I could see them being more reasonable as long as there price per pound did not go up to crazy as well.

MLBowhunting · « **Reply #27 on:** April 15, 2013, 10:25:39 PM »

Yeah cows were 3 bucks a pound and bulls were 4. They had a few big bulls left but they would have been just out of my price range. We keep everything including head and hide.

carpsniperg2 · « **Reply #28 on:** April 15, 2013, 10:34:35 PM »

Was that gutted with the head and hide off as well? If so that ain't to bad of price at all.

MLBowhunting · « **Reply #29 on:** April 15, 2013, 10:40:47 PM »

Just hanging qtrs. Weighed on a certified scale right infront of us. 4 bucks a pound is cheaper then what beef is going for plus buffalo is 10 bucks a pound at safeway lol

carpsniperg2 · « **Reply #30 on:** April 15, 2013, 10:43:43 PM »

Yeah that is a good deal then. Heck those heads and hides weigh a lot!

Whitpirate · « **Reply #31 on:** June 26, 2013, 02:56:41 PM »

I'm interested in getting a buffalo this Fall..... did you have to do anything special to get the pricing? Calling cold seems silly with the prices listed.

buckhorn2 · « **Reply #32 on:** June 26, 2013, 03:06:36 PM »

We went with Dale twice in Montana and had a great time and the meat is really good and lots of it. They skinned quartered it and we finished it up at home if we go again it will be with Dale he will make sure things are right for you.
