Buffalo Roam in the Queen City

Buffalo is a great source of lean protein, and it’s raised right here in Cincinnati. I’ve lived in Cincinnati for almost 31/2 years, and I just discovered the other day that there is a Buffalo Ranch here in the Queen City. The ranch is called the Vista Grand Ranch. They supply a number of the local groceries and specialty shops.

What are the health benefits of Buffalo?

“Discoveries made in the last ten years reveal that essential fatty acids (EFA) influence every aspect of human health, from the beating of the heart to the ability to learn and remember. There are families of EFAs - omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids. New studies show that for optimum physical and mental health, a diet should contain a balanced amount of these two groups, yet the typical American diet is overloaded with omega-6 fatty acids and grossly deficient in omega-3s.This hidden imbalance makes people more vulnerable to a long list of diseases, including heart disease, cancer, obesity, inflammations, auto-immune diseases, allergies, diabetes, and depression. Careful study has shown that our ancestors ate far more greens than we do and we now know that greens are rich in omega-3s. The wild game that they hunted was also a good source of these nutrients, because the animals grazed on greens, incorporating the omega-3s into their flesh. Bison meat has significantly higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, a small fraction of the fat content, and a higher level of the antioxidant Beta-carotene than that of beef. Combined with proper nutrition and exercise, eating Bison will help reduce your risk of coronary heart disease and other lifestyle related diseases. Researchers are now investigating the positive effects that Bison meat has on cancer prevention.” http://www.vistagrandranch.com/

This place even allows people to come and check out the Buffalo on specific days. Remember, don’t bring the any pets because all we need is a stampede of buffalo along I-75 during rush hour.
The next time that I’m on a precontest diet; I’m going to try to incorporate a little buffalo in my diet. I wonder is they sale whole buffalo?
