Bison Grind
Grass-Fed. Organic. Premium Bison.
A nutrient-dense whole food grind made from grass-fed, non-GMO, organically raised, soy and corn-free bison -- with one of the highest iron readings of any protein in our lineup.
Bison is not just a novelty protein. It is one of the most rigorously clean animal proteins available, raised on open pasture without hormones, antibiotics, GMO feed, soy, or corn. This grind is formulated and produced by Northstar Bison and blends 75% bison trim meat with bison liver, heart, kidney, spleen, and bone dust for a complete organ-inclusive whole food meal. It can be fed as a complete meal, though supplementing is always recommended to close any nutritional gaps. Cat owners must add a taurine supplement.

At 58.3 ppm iron as fed (168 ppm on a dry matter basis), the Bison Grind delivers one of the highest iron readings in our entire product lineup. Bison raised on open pasture naturally accumulate greater iron and zinc density than conventionally raised cattle, a direct reflection of their diet, activity level, and the absence of growth-promoting additives throughout their lives.
