Bison Industry Looking To Grow Exports

Nov 26, 2019

Bison producers from across Canada are wrapping up their Annual Conference with the Bison Sale at Canadian Western Agribition.

Bison Producer Les Kroeger says they had strong attendance for the conference this year which highlighted some of the research results they’ve been working on which will be released publically in the future.

He notes one of the biggest concerns for the Bison industry is growing the export market but their making strides.
