FAQs

Regenerative ranching is a revolutionary approach to agriculture that prioritizes the health and wellbeing of the land, animals, and people. It's a holistic system that goes beyond traditional farming practices by actively restoring the natural resources of the land. By mimicking the natural cycles of the ecosystem and animals to graze in a way that promotes plant growth and health, regenerative ranching produces high-quality, nutrient-dense meat, supplements, and leather goods–nourishing both body and the environment.

At Ring of Horns, our sole intention is to create a meaningful impact on the health of our consumers, community and the ecological wealth of our land.

When the young are threatened by a predator the herd makes a special call to gather the calves together. All of the females in the herd form what's known as a Ring of Horns - a circle around their young, heads outward, horns interlocked together in a communal act of protection to defend against a threat.

Our herd is raised on pasture and are grass-fed and finished. We manage our herd holistically in a manner that will overtime create a net-positive return on the planet by sequestering carbon from the atmosphere and regenerating the land. Through the bison's natural behaviors they play an integral role in this process through fertilization, soil aeration and selective grazing. We pledge to always work with nature rather than against it to heal our ecosystem and raise our bison sustainably.

No, our bison have never received a vaccine for COVID-19.

All the bison in our bison shares and individual cuts are processed by our USDA-inspected butchers.

Our Bison Halfs, Quarters and Eighths are fulfilled by our butcher partner located in Superior, MT. Superior Meats is a USDA-inspected butcher.

All our bison cuts are vacuum sealed immediately after butchering, and are stored frozen until and during the shipping, pickup, and delivering process, ensuring you recieve the best quality product possible when you order with us.

Because the bison is vacuum sealed with no air inside the packaging, it can be safely stored in the freezer for at least one year. When kept consistently frozen, it often maintains its quality, flavor and nutritional value for two years or more.

To be honest, we’ve found packages of steaks tucked away in our personal freezer that are a few years old, and they still cook up as delicious as ever. Trust that yours will too!

The most important factor to keep in mind when thawing bison is to keep it out of the temperature "danger zone", where bacteria grow and multiply quickly, between 40 °F and 140 °F, The best way to ensure you follow safe food handling practices is to thaw bison in the refrigerator. This method can take 1 to several days, depending on the thickness of the meat.

Alternatively, you can submerge your packaged bison in cold tap water, changing the water every 30 minutes so it continues to thaw. Smaller packages will thaw within an hour using this method, while larger cuts can take 2 to 3 hours.

Lastly, you can thaw bison in the microwave, but need to plan to cook it immediately after thawing because some of the beef will become warm and begin cooking (enter into the temperature danger zone) during the microwave thawing process. Any meat thawed in the microwave should be cooked thoroughly before refreezing.

You bet! We’d love the opportunity to meet with our customers face-to-face. We do have a little ranch store that is appointment only since its typically just one of us around to open the store up for you.

If you’re in the area and its last minute, try to give me at least a 15-20 minute heads up so we can coordinate.

Please call or text Jared to schedule a day or time to come by (406) 515-9021.

Antibiotic stewardship is something we take very seriously. We have strict herd health practices in place to ensure we use antibiotics on a limited, as-necessary basis. Animal wellbeing is our main priority at ROH, so while we do not use antibiotics, or other medications, unnecessarily, we’ll do everything we can to minimize pain and suffering for our bison, including administering antibiotics. If an animal is treated, it is removed from our natural program and marketed differently. We know how each animal is treated keep detailed records for each animal.

No, our bison are 100% grass-fed & finished. They are born, bred and raised on open pasture where they are rotationally grazed through our various paddocks and graze a variety different grasses and forage.

In the winter months when our grass production slows we feed quality grass hay and alfalfa that was produced right down the road to supplement their needs and ensure complete nutrition. Typically a 60/40 grass, alfalfa blend to make sure they are getting enough protein and
