From farm and ranch to processor and supermarket, Texas agriculture faces unabated change. How it changes in response to current forces such as environmentalism, new technologies, consumer issues, governmental regulation and global markets will profoundly impact agriculture for years to come.  The Texas Agricultural Lifetime Leadership (TALL) program is dedicated in building future Texas leaders so that our food and fiber system is preserved and enhanced.  Given the critical issues facing agriculture today, there is a need to provide intensive leadership development experiences for a promising new generation of leaders.  That is why the Texas Agricultural Lifetime Leadership program was established, and why we believe it is so important today

Herd Additions

Spring and summer are the busiest seasons at Lucky B Bison. New bison babies are coming into the world, so there are little orange bundles of life everywhere these days. Proud mammas are looking on protectively as we drive through the herd carefully to see which ones are boys and which ones are girls. Meanwhile, we're praying for rain and getting ready for haying season.

In just a few weeks the mating season will begin, and this one will be even more exciting than last. Our herd bull, Rocky, is ready for romance!

Meat Sales

We're delighted that Fat Burger on Wellborn Road in College Station is serving our half-pound buffalo burger. Sales are going very well.

We also supply bison meat to Brazos Natural Foods, 4303 S. Texas Avenue in Bryan. The meat business is booming!
