Ted Turner + Bison + American West

Another interesting Ted Turner article, this one from the good folks at The Land Report.  I’ve worked with a number of bison ranchers over the years, and it’s undeniable that Turner and his restaurants have played a pivotal role in the reintroduction of bison throughout the American West.

“Ted didn’t want to be in the cattle business. He didn’t want to be in the hay business. He didn’t want to be in the oil and gas business. He wanted to be in the bison business because it would rekindle America’s West the way it was.”

(If you’re a regular reader of this blog, you know that I’m somewhat obsessed with the bison and have read and reviewed several books about North America’s Most Interesting Animal.  I definitely recommend learning more about this unbelievably powerful and historically significant animal!)
