Iowa's Bison: Ancient Animals in an Industrial Landscape
Iowa’s Bison: Ancient Animals in an Industrial Landscape Kayla Koether Advisers: Jon Andelson and Kathy Jacobson Independent Major Senior Thesis February 8, 2012 Iowa’s Bison: Ancient Animals in an Industrial Landscape 2 Acknowledgements I’d first like to acknowledge my advisers, Professor Jon Andelson and Professor Kathy Jacobson, who not only guided me through each step of this project, but who have also mentored me through my four years at Grinnell College, investing in my visions of an independent major in International Agriculture and Rural Development. I am also deeply indebted to the many kind and interesting individuals who shared their perspectives and showed me their bison for the sake of this project. I only hope that they enjoyed the interview process as much as I. Thanks goes out to my parents, Greg and Kathy Koether, for their support, and especially to my dad for helping me create this project and find a calling in the land. I’d like to thank the Center for Prairie Studies at Grinnell College for providing an intellectual and physical space for this line of place-based academic exploration. Finally, I must thank Landon Corlett and many other friends for their intellectual and moral support as I completed this project.

Why Game Meats?
Mount Royal USA Product Guide 713-862-1800 Why Game Meats? Venison and other farm raised game meats are fast becoming a popular option for chefs seeking healthy, convenient, and versatile flavors. Game meats are low in fat/cholesterol and high in proteins. All animals are grazed on pastures and fed supplemental feed which contains no steroids, antibiotics, or hormones. The products therefore are 100% natural. Venison The gamey flavor often associated with venison (and other game meats) is not noticeable in farm raised products. The reason for this is quite simple. Wild animals rely on berries or whatever they can find for food and then are stressed or “hunted” before killing. The diet of the animals and the adrenaline which gets pumped into their system before being killed affects the taste of the meat. An animal which has been fed a specific diet and is killed under different conditions will naturally have a slightly different taste which results in a less “gamey” type of flavor. Venison from Mount Royal is farm raised in New Zealand on lush pastures and exported under the Cervena label to insure maximum tenderness and consistency in processing.

(Water) Buffalo in the US Meat Marketplace
A Sneak Attack: (Water) Buffalo in the U.S. Meat Marketplace You Don’t Think So?.... Compiled by: National Bison Association 8690 Wolff Court Westminster, CO 80031 303.292.2833 [email protected] July 2019 Water Buffalo in the U.S. Market Page 1 of 20 (Page Intentionally Left Blank) Water Buffalo in the U.S. Market Page 2 of 20 Introduction The growing popularity of sustainably raised, deliciously healthy bison meat has brought profitability and economic stability to bison ranchers and marketers across the United States. In fact, the bison business has enjoyed nearly a decade of strong, profitable market prices. That stability is now under siege from a growing threat of water buffalo meat and pet food ingredients being deceptively marketed in a manner that misleads consumers into believing that they are purchasing bison. As a non-amenable species, bison is under the purview of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. (FDA). The National Bison Association in September 2018 filed a formal complaint with the FDA, citing the relevant sections of CFR 21 §101.18, and 21 CFR §102.5 which are intended to halt the marketing of mislabeled food. (See Page 7) In February, the FDA responded, writing that, while the agency “has not established a specific regulation regarding the marketing of either water buffalo or bison…we do agree that water buffalo should be labeled as water buffalo and that bison should be labels (sic) as ‘bison’ or ‘Buffalo (bison)’.” (See Page 10) The National Bison Association, with full support of the InterTribal Buffalo Council, is working with our allies in the U.S. -

Lead in Venison: What Every Hunting Family Should Know
Lead Bullets & Venison Deer, Elk & Bear What Every Hunting Family Should Know New studies show that lead fragments are often found in venison shot with lead bullets. These pieces of lead are too small to be seen or felt while chewing. Ground venison has the most lead Using a medical imaging device, lead fragments (see photo). fragments (bright spots) are shown scattered within the ground venison shot with lead bullets.* Who is most at risk of health problems from lead? • Women who are pregnant or can become pregnant • Children ages 6 and under In pregnant women, lead can cause low birth-weight babies, premature births, miscarriages, and stillbirths. In young children, lead can cause learning disabilities, lower IQs, and stunted growth. Even the smallest amount of lead can harm children and babies. Public Health Advice If you harvest deer, elk, or bear with high-velocity lead bullets, women of childbearing age and children ages 6 and under should avoid eating that venison. Older children and adults should use caution when eating ground venison shot with lead bullets. It’s best not to eat the organs from any wild game because lead and other chemicals collect in the organs. Choose ammunition that will not leave lead fragments in the meat Worst Better Best • Rapidly • Shotgun slug • Copper bullet expanding • Muzzleloader • Lead-free bullet bullet bullet - Ballistic tip • Non-exposed - Soft point lead core bullet These bullets These fragment Copper and lead- leave the most much less due to free bullets leave lead fragments slower velocity, no lead in the in the meat. -

AAEDC Venison Food Relief Program Final Report
Anne Arundel County Venison Food Relief Program January 19, 2021 Anne Arundel Economic Development Corporation 2660 Riva Road, Suite 200 Annapolis, MD 21401 AAEDC Venison Food Relief Program Executive Summary Anne Arundel Economic Development Corporation (AAEDC), on behalf of Anne Arundel County, launched a Venison Food Relief Program on November 1st, 2020 which ran through December 30th, 2020. This program was administered by AAEDC’s Arundel AG team. The purpose of the program was to provide protein-rich, low fat venison meat to the Anne Arundel County Food Bank to distribute to families in need. One of the challenges the Anne Arundel County Food Bank has come across during this COVID-19 pandemic is the high cost of meat due to the shortage of available protein. Venison introduces a new protein source and a properly processed deer can feed dozens of people. “Local farmers report that crop damage from deer is their greatest obstacle when attempting to grow the local produce that has been so important to our residents during this pandemic,” said County Executive Pittman. “Past efforts to reduce the deer population through managed hunts and crop damage permits have not been effective because no incentives were offered to hunters. This first-in- the-state program will have the dual benefit of getting quality meat to our food bank for residents who need it, and reducing the population of deer that would otherwise destroy next year’s crops. It’s smart and it’s cost-effective.” Hunters with the necessary licenses and permits received $50 for each legally harvested deer and had to bring their harvested deer to one of the three participating processors by December 30th, 2020.
