Buffalo Gal, Inc
Celebrate the National Mammal – Bison!
Over 49 years ago, Mike Fogel took the first step in raising buffalo. He bought two buffalo yearlings, a bull and heifer, and from there the adventure began. Since then Buffalo Gal/Money Creek Buffalo Ranch, based out of Houston, MN, has been a thriving three-generation family business and a way of life. Our company offers a full line of bison meat products for your enjoyment. Delicious, heart-healthy bison meat is lower in fat, cholesterol and calories than other meats, including poultry and fish. Discover for yourself why bison is America’s Original Red Meat!
