Bison du Nord, in Earlton, Ont., has a herd of more than 400 bison.Pierre Bélanger bought one female bison 50 years ago. Today, his family's herd near the northern Ontario town of Earlton is more than 400 animals strong.
"We actually are naive enough to think we can make it for another 100 years and have a family farm that lasts with it." "And we said, 'We'll show you. We've got brains, we're smart, and we'll make money with this unusual animal, the bison.'" Brian Arnold, president of the Ontario Bison Association, said bison farming is still relatively small in the province, but interest in the meat has grown in recent years.
Most have herds of around 60 animals, but a few, like Bison du Nord, are larger with more than 400 bison.
