McRobert's Game Farm is one of the few grassfarms in the United States that specializes in game animals. Yak, elk, bison, deer, Yak/beef crosses, and llamas are available as breeding stock. Meat is also available for sale. Yak meat is very lean and low in saturated fat. The animals are very thrifty and put on weight more easily than many other grazing animals, making them economical to raise for market.

The Perfect "10" Buffalo Ranch has 5,000 acres of certified organic prairie grasses sustaining a herd of 800 grass-finished bison. The ranch is large enough to allow the bison to roam at will on native prairie grasses, and the herd size is sufficient to recreate the natural social order of the animals. The end result is a low stress, healthy environment similar to the open plains of hundreds of years ago. The Hutchinsons offer their "Tatonka Gourmet Bison" in quarters, halves, and whole animals. Individual cuts, 20# packages, and summer sausage are available as well. The meat is sold in Lincoln, Nebraska at the Ideal Grocery, Aikin's Health Food Store, and Open Harvest. (The meat is distributed to other retail stores throughout the area by Pegler-Sysco Distributors.) The meat can be shipped UPS anywhere in the United States. Perfect "10"
