Hey y’all, never posted here before, or on any forum really. Ultimately, what I’m hoping to obtain through this is any experiences anyone may have had, or heard of, when up and running a bison ranch. I’ve done my research and will continue to, but there’s a lot of info I still would like to get ahold of. I’ve called bisoncentral and talked to them but it seems like they always direct me to their sources they’re selling. They also told me my biggest obstacle is land. I’m wondering if I could start out small with the idea of shooting for a 100 bison head would I be able to see a profit? With good soil and 40” precipitation a year, how many acres? I know it’s hard to understand what I’m asking without every aspect into consideration but is it possible to do this while still making a profit? I don’t mean a big profit or some of unheard of number or wealthy I just mean after loans, land debt, mortgage and having a family and everything else with fencing and irrigation would it be plausible to assume I’ll be pocketing an income if my herd were large enough ? How large would that head need to be? I’m in the army and plan on using TA for a ranch management degree( if there’s a degree more suited please tell) and then working on buying my land. I plan on getting out to go back home to SE Missouri. Also, for anyone who’s drove bison, I’ve read that catahoula dogs do well with the bison, is that a little absurd or is it true? I know they’re dangerous and cause a greater risk but ultimately this I what I’ve wanted to do. Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance.

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
