Blue Mountain Bison

Description

Blue Mountain Bison ranch is owned and operated by the Jonjak family, established in 1989. Paul, Mark and Katherine all are co-owners of Blue Mountain Bison. The Jonjaks have been involved in agriculture since the nineteen- thirties. Paul was raised in an agricultural business and he raised Mark and Katherine in an agricultural business. It started as an idea and concept born out of love of nature and the west. Paul Jonjak throughout his youth went on trips throughout the Rocky Mountains hunting and developed an appreciation for the wilderness and the variety of big game that inhabited the western states. It brought on the idea of finding a ranch in the Rockies and was quickly followed by how to support the ranch if he bought it. Since he already had an appreciation of wild game, why not raise bison or the American buffalo on the ranch? Paul and his son Mark went about the research required to develop the business plan needed to set the idea into motion. They talked to other bison producers about how they raised their buffalo. They visited many bison ranches to check out their handling facilities, working pens, corrals and fences. They joined the only two buffalo associations at the time the American Bison Association and the National Buffalo Association. Mark and Paul also researched by reading all available material on buffalo or bison everything from general information about care, such as feeding to bison genetics related to breeding...
