There are over 20,000 -30,000 wild bison ranging in protected areas. There are an estimated 500,000 on commercial ranches.

The commercial bison comes from ranchers who raise it for market, starting from from Indiana and Wisconsin in the Midwest to all points west.

Anyone in the Chicago-Milwaukee corridor who's interested should stop at the Woodman supermarkets that carry a comprehensive selection of unusual and game meets, always with a big selection of bison steaks and ground meat.
