Buck Wild Bison is committed to delivering our premium bison meat to you in excellent condition and as fast as possible. We ship all over the United States, and we know how to get your bison meat to you in excellent condition. Our bison products are individually vacuum sealed and frozen before being packed in insulated shipping containers and covered with dry ice and ice packs to ensure freshness. UPS will deliver your order, and you will receive tracking information via e-mail. To maintain optimal freshness, we suggest you are home to receive your order when it arrives.
FREE SHIPPING on orders over $275 if shipping to a state in our premium shipping zone (see blue states in the map below). Customers in our secondary shipping zone (see gray states in the map below) can get free shipping on orders over $450.
Shipping rates are determined by UPS. WE DO NOT SET THE SHIPPING RATES.
We typically ship orders on Mondays and Tuesdays. Once you receive notification that your order of bison meat has shipped, you should receive your order in 1-2 business days.
FAILED SHIPMENT AND REFUND POLICY: If a shipment arrives late, the bison meat may be thawed and warm. Warm is defined as above 40 degrees Fahrenheit. If your meat arrives warm and it is our fault, take photos of the issue and the temperature and send us back the product within 3 days, and we will replace your order or provide a store credit toward a future order. However, if the failed shipment is due to an error on the purchaser or the recipient's part (as in a gift), including but not limited to, an incomplete or incorrect address given, receiver not home, special shipping instructions made at the request of the recipient, refused deliveries, or orders left out and either stolen, ruined, or damaged after delivery, we will not refund or replace the shipment. The customer is responsible for actively tracking the delivery via the UPS tracking code provided to ensure that the delivery does not remain outside for more than 1 hour.
Our bison eat grass throughout their entire lives. They are also offered free choice minerals and a bison-specific grain mix. The combination of these food sources results in the healthiest bison we can produce.
Our grain mix includes all non-GMO barley, oats, and hemp. Free choice minerals mean we leave out a mineral block that they can lick at their free will depending on their individual needs. The block contains trace minerals such as copper salt, selenium iodine, zinc, and manganese.
Yes--our bison meat is individually packaged in vacuum-sealed packaging and frozen at the time of processing. This allows us to ship high-quality meat that arrives safely at your door. It is normal for some of the meat to begin to thaw when shipping long distances, but if the meat arrives cold, it is safe to put in the refrigerator or freezer. For more information, please visit our shipping page.
We ship our meat frozen using a combination of industry-leading insulation, dry ice, and ice packs, but we can't guarantee it will arrive frozen. Depending on the distance from our farm, the meat may arrive somewhat thawed. As long as the meat arrives cold (e.g., 41 degrees or below), it is safe to eat, refrigerate, or refreeze. Most of the time, the meat will arrive frozen.
Since bison is low in fat, it should be cooked at lower temperatures and for less time than beef. Ground bison should be cooked to an internal temperature of 155°F. Roasts and steaks should be cooked to an internal temperature of 135°F (medium rare) or 145°F (medium). Expect a bison steak to cook one-third faster than a beef steak. Oven temperature should be around 275°F for a bison roast. The roast will be done in about the same amount of time as a comparable size beef roast.
Bison is best cooked rare to medium-rare to maintain the moisture and flavor of the meat.
