Farmer Profiles: Australia

In 1989 Ashley Brown 41, brought five heifer calves and a bull calf to Australia. He now runs 150 head of bison on his 365 hectare property near Corryong in northeast Victoria.

Besides supplying the expected demand for bison meat to exclusive restaurants and gourmet butchers, he actively promotes the use of the very fine haired, downy bison coat for manufacture into coats, rugs, etc.

I'd sure like to see my local Ontario, Canada bison farmers explore this market!
