The Bison App

The National Bison Association (NBA), based in Westminster, Colorado, is a breed association of producers, processors, marketers and bison enthusiasts. Our mission is to bring together stakeholders to celebrate the heritage of American bison, to educate and to create a sustainable future for our industry. As part of its mission, the NBA develops bison-specific educational tools often through the support of grant funding. The NBA currently has a United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) grant entitled “Record Keeping for Risk Mitigation” which aims to improve the record keeping skills, utilization and analysis targeted to new and existing bison producers. The hallmark of the project is the NBA Bison Producer’s App, a forthcoming smartphone app that producers can access in the field to record and analyze data to better mitigate risk in their bison operation.
