about us

Glengary Bison, established in 1997 and located just a short drive North of Calgary and West of Airdrie, Alberta, Canada is operated by Gary Sweetnam and Cynthia Austin.

Our vision for Glengary Bison is to produce and promote top quality bison for breeding, as well as providing a unique, affordable, and wonderful red meat source for today’s health conscious consumer.

Our breeding stock has evolved from the original 9 heifer calves we acquired from top quality breeders throughout Alberta in 1998 to 35 quality breeding bison cows and 2 herd sires. We routinely cull our cows to ensure that only the best breeders are producing top quality calves. Since our first crop of calves arrived in the spring of 2000 we have had a 100 percent success rate with cows producing strong and healthy calves each spring.

Our bison are processed at a provincial government inspected abattoir which is the finest and cleanest in Alberta. All of our products are 100% bison and are represented as such; no filler or any other meat source is added in production. In September of 2003 we built an on-site farm store and installed a walk-in freezer in order to keep pace with this expanding industry.
