VIDEO: Theda Pogue of GP Ranch on how Tanka Fund supports the mission of wild-managed Buffalo
Tanka Fund rancher partner Theda Pogue and her family caretake Buffalo as a conservation effort on their ranch in Texas. Theda said that there has been an uptick in the Buffalo meat industry to ranch Buffalo in a cattle-like model using feed lots and feeding them grain to gain weight quickly — something opposite of how the animals are meant to be raised. She outlines out Tanka Fund is helping educate Native ranchers about how to raise Buffalo sustainably.
Key points in the video:
Tanka Fund has promoted the importance of sourcing bison meat that is grass-raised, highlighting the significance of understanding where the meat comes from, beyond just the grocery store.
The organization is involved in publishing information about bison genetics and collaborating with the Intertribal Buffalo Council to spread awareness about sustainable bison meat production.
Tanka Fund sponsors hands-on processing classes to teach tribal members and other Native Americans how to process bison meat, offering a full pasture-to-plate experience.
