RAGGED BUTTE

We are a second generation Bison ranch set in the plains of North Dakota. The ranch was established in 1992 by Erick's father Peter. Peter was a farmer that raised cows but his curiosity was piqued when he attended a lecture by Frank J. Popper. He and his wife then purchased one bison bull and a couple bison heifers. After seeing how hardy the animals were and how great they dealt with the harsh North Dakota winters, he sold his cows and then forth became a bison rancher. Erick & Trudi took over the bison ranch in 2012 , where they now live with their 3 children. They work side by side on the ranch and both have the dream to expand and create a notable breeding operation.​... We raise many different animals as well as children. We have once been called Old McDonalds Farm. We are involved in 4-H and hope to grow future Bison Ranchers.
