PEARSON RANCH

about pearson ranch

Pearson Ranch, founded in 1959, is family-owned, raising elk, buffalo (also known as bison) and cattle. Located in the beautiful southwestern mountains of New Mexico at an elevation of 7,800 feet, the virtually untouched surroundings host elk, deer, black bear, antelope, mountain lions, wolves, turkeys and other small game.

Pearson Ranch has been in the meat snack business since 2000. The main focus of ranch operations shifted to meat snack products in the summer of 2011. Buffalo (Bison) products were introduced in 2003, and Venison and Wild Boar products added in 2014.

ABOUT THE MEATS

elk

Elk is a member of the deer family. They are bigger than deer and smaller than moose. Elk can be found in North America, Europe and Asia. Elk meat is very lean and finer-grained than beef. It is described as having a mild, sometimes sweet flavor. It is a great source of protein.

Elk meat is high in B-vitamin complex, which comes from the plants in an elk's diet. Domestic elk is free from steroids, hormones or growth antibiotics that can be found in domestic beef or pork. By eliminating the preservatives in the meat, elk provides an all-natural source of protein. Elk is higher than beef in omega-3 fatty acids and contains a full range of essential amino acids.

BUFFALO

Buffalo, also known as bison, nearly went extinct in the late 19th century. However, they have made a comeback. In 1893, there were only about 300 remaining. Leap forward to 2007, and there were approximately 200,000 in the United States being raised for meat.

Buffalo meat is a deep red color due to the lack of fat marbling, and the taste is slightly sweeter and richer than beef. Buffalo meat fits the dietary guidelines of the American Heart Association. Many nationally recognized weight-loss programs list bison meat as one of their recommended diet foods. Buffalo spend their lives on grass, and are not subjected to questionable drugs, chemicals or hormones.

vENISON

Venison refers only to the meat of deer. It is an incredibly lean meat. Its flavor is sometimes likened to beef with subtle gamey notes. It can be so lean, that when it is simply ground for burgers, it is sometimes necessary to include bacon, olive oil, or cheese, or blended with beef to the mixture to improve texture.

Venison is comparable in protein, but lower in calories than most grass-fed beef, lamb, or pork. It tends to also have more moisture than these meats.

Venison is not consumed in the United States as commonly as meats like beef, lamb, and pork because of the stringent rules of the USDA and most of the meat comes from New Zealand and Tasmania. Our venison products are all USDA approved. It is also low in fat, high in protein, MSG-free, gluten-free, soy-free, and does not have added nitrites.

Venison Product Ingredients: Venison (grass fed), pork, water, sea salt, encapsulated citric acid, cane sugar, cultured celery powder (celery powder. Sea salt), black pepper, cherry powder (cherry powder. Organic cane sugar [evaporated cane juice]), cayenne pepper, natural liquid smoke, ground coriander, onion powder, granulated garlic, in beef colored collagen casings.
