High prices thrill Wyo. and Colo. bison ranchers

Wyoming and Colorado ranchers are loving the bison meat prices. They are now at an all-time high. In 2010, bison went for about $2.38 a pound. This year, the going rate is closer to $3.90, and prices for live animals are strong as well. According to one rancher, the demand for bison meat is growing because consumers are finding out how good the product is. Dave Carter of the National Bison Association, says that he expects bison prices to remain strong and that Wyoming and Colorado are well situated to grow with the industry.
