Nutrition

Buffalo has been recognized as highly nutritious and flavorful food. It is low in fat and cholesterol.

Buffalo tastes GREAT! People surveyed state that the meat is among the most flavorful meats they have tasted with a slightly sweet and rich flavor. Buffalo can be used in any red-meat recipe without special handling.

The value of the meat is not what you pay but in the nutrition you get in return. More protein and nutrients with fewer calories and less fat.

None of the Buffalo raised at the Gehl’s Buffalo Hill Ranch are subject to stimulants or hormones. These animals have the opportunity to roam freely in large pastures.
