Grass-Fed Beef in South Dakota: Where to Buy
South Dakota's mixed-grass and shortgrass prairies, particularly in the western half of the state, are among the most biologically intact grassland ecosystems in the Great Plains. Bison roamed these prairies for millennia, and today South Dakota leads the nation in commercial bison production. Northstar Bison in Wisconsin ships 100% grass-fed bison and beef to all South Dakota addresses. For in-state retail, Natural Grocers and Hy-Vee provide certified grass-fed coverage in the main population centers.
