Join RMBA for a two-day, jam-packed weekend of all thing’s bison. On Friday, September 12th, we spend the afternoon in Sheridan, WY where we will visit Western Heritage Meat Company to tour their USDA processing facility, smokehouse, and see a bison carcass processing demonstration. We will then travel a few minutes away to tour a University of Wyoming Extension research plot for controlling invasive grasses. A short distance away we will tour JG Bison and their small ranching operation. That night we will feast on a bison BBQ by NOLA Catering & Private Dining under the relaxing Wyoming sky (please bring your own chair). 

Saturday morning, we will be in Thermopolis, WY to tour the public bison herd and handling facilities at Hot Springs State Park. We will enjoy a nice bison burger lunch at One Eyed Buffalo Brewing Company. After lunch we will split into two groups to visit Buffalo Grass Tannery and Merlin’s Hide Out to see their two business operations and the products they produce. We will then travel to the Wind River Indian Reservation to get a detailed tour of their Wind River Tribal Buffalo Initiative and all they are doing to restore buffalo to their land.
