I just put this link up over at the Goex board in an answer to a post. Though maybe some would like to take a look here also.....

Yes the wife and I have eaten there and the food was very good! If you are ever in that neck of the woods--stop by--you will be glad you did. If you check out their web site be sure to take a look at the recipes!

Just like Shiloh....a nother Famliy opperation.....what makes America so great!

Capt Call: Good web site. After buying 1/4 of a buffalo this spring, I hope the bison are around forever. For those watching fat in their diet or, like me, a type 2 diabetic, they are great.

I am also on a restrictive diet and have been eating Buffalo for a couple of years now. It is available at the local supermarket about every six weeks or so. It usually runs about a dollar a pound more that the equivalent cuts of Certified Angus. Last time I bought some it was $9.98 a pound for boneless rib-eye and $4.98 for chuck steak. The prices on that web site look a little high to me but I would pay it if nothing else was available. You can't beat the taste of a good buffalo steak!

Great place, isn't it? Never realized just how big those critters are until I stood near one. I'm originally from York, PA.

They have good prices and ship all over the country. My Brother-in-law and four of his buddies started raising big shaggies about six years ago and opened up a buffalo meat store in the downtown of their hometown about 3 years ago. We haven't eaten much beef for about three years.[/url]

Good grief there Otter!! You startled me! For a minute there I thought your Brother-in-law and his buddies were going to try and compete with Tysons. You know, replace chicken with buffalo. But then I saw they aren't doing it there in Rogers.

By the way Otter, it wasn't you who wrecked Flounder's Lincoln Continental was it? Or rather Flounder's brother's Lincoln Continental.

Lee,

Nope, weren't me what wrecked a floundering continental. Never drove one or runned into one. Thought flounders were fish.

We moved down here about 2 years ago from the northeast part of Nebraska. Haven't found a place to shoot over 100 yds here yet. Up north we had a place to shoot where we could range out to 1400 yds. That I do miss from there, but I sure don't miss the weather, especially the winters.

My reference to Flounder and his Continental were to Otter in the movie "Animal House". If you should see it, you will see what I was talking about. A rather poor attempt at a little (very little) humour on my part.

But a very funny movie with John Belushi.

Surely somewhere there in the "valley" area of Rogers, Springdale and Benton, there must be someplace flat enough and long enough for a 1000yd range. Or did the new airport eat up all the flat land?

I find it hard to believe that anybody who is a history buff and admires the Sharps rifle would buy "ready-made" buffalo meat! Good as it is, buffalo meat is even better when you personally collect it.

So far, 2 yearling cow buffalo have fallen to my rifle. These buffalo cost about $700 each, with another $300 for processing and skinning. I figured that I ended up with just over 300 lbs of boneless meat from each, making the cost per pound about $3.00. (Of course this doesn't account for other incidental costs such as fuel, food, lodging and the amortization of a $2000 rifle!)

Even my squeamish "city slicker" friends love buffalo meat.
