Straight Arrow Bison

The Bredthauers suffered through the farm crisis of the early 1980’s, enduring high interest rates, falling commodity prices and storms that took their toll on livestock. In 1992 they moved to their present location, ready to make a new start. With Marty working an off-farm job, they no longer depended on the farm to support their family but did hope to get some supplemental income. A family vacation in 1993 to Fort Robinson, NE piqued their interest in buffalo. The Bredthauers took a tour of the herd and talked to the people who took care of them. They decided that marketing the meat would be most profitable, so they tried eating it several times to determine if they really liked it, and they did! Today they have a herd of around 100 animals, and their customer base has grown from curious samplers to loyal repeat customers who appreciate the quality and the health benefits of their meat. Based in Broken Bow, Nebraska.
