Named after her great-grandmother, Kathy Margaret Carlston Lindner and her husband, Ken, raise top-quality grassfed bison.
Bison is the only roaming animal indigenous to North America. While slow and docile in appearance, they can outrun and outmaneuver most horses, with their natural agility and ability to pivot on both front and hind feet. Their lifespan may extend to 30 years or more.
