how much protein is in cooked ground beef and drained per pound?
Definately not, bison is often $2-5 more per pound than the equivalent extra lean ground beef. However the health benefits gained with bison are well worth the money, bison is signifigantly leaner than beef, lower in calories, cholesterol and contains more minerals than beef. Surprisingly extra lean ground bison is even healthier and lower in calories/fat/cholesterol than skinless chicken breasts. I substitute ground beef with bison in all my dishes and most people cannot even tell a taste difference and are very surprised when I tell them how much healthier it is comparitevly.
Ground bison can stay in the freezer for about 6 months and still remain fresh. It can stay for long periods because it has a moderate amount of fat content. Ground bison is less fatty compared to other foods like salmon and pork.
Bison will eat around 2% of their body weight in dry matter per day.
Bison require 1.5 acres per head. Check out the National Bison Association for more information.
Bison that are raised on a ranch are fed hay and grain. However, bison in the wild eat primarily grass, not much else.
The bison or buffalo is much leaner than beef cattle, and its meat is just as full of protein. Additionally, it "converts" a larger proportion of its food into meat than beef cattle do. It is a more "efficient" grazer.
In 1500 between 60 million and 125 million American bison roamed the plains. These bison were used by Native Americans as a primary food source but this did not have much effect on the bison population ?
