They are priced at 25 percent more, not 125 percent. However buffalo
meat costs more here too, where it is produced.

In NYC, marketers can make a big deal out of anything relatively
ordinary LOL!

However, so far, the bison raised here in NM are strictly free range and
not dosed with anything that isn't medically necessary (with the meat
being withheld from slaughter as necessary). The herds have never been
fed with animal products, so there is little risk of BSE and related
diseases.

It tastes like meat; nothing special at all.
