This is a great recipe for a Buffalo roast, using a slow cooker and creating some wonderful Au Jus so you can dip the roast sandwiches into it and slurp and yum and roll your eyes.

And you can buy buffalo at the Sprik's farm around over by you somewhere. I have bought from their son, an attorney, right at his office. It located near the corner of 4 mile and Alpine, on 4 mile just west of Alpine on the North side of the road.
In fact, I just Googled and here is the URL for the Buffalo ranch,

We quit beef a long time ago, and the only meats we eat are venison and buffalo and a little pork and fowl and fish but mostly fresh vegetables and fruits.
Smokebender:
Right you are Sir. In fact I know Dale. I don't know his son. You can buy it up your way somewhere too I guess?
BTW, it's also good on a stick.

I'll bet it is good on a stick.
Yeah, the Olsen Grocery stores have their own buffalo ranch and they have Spartan stores in Petosky, Charlevois, Traverse City and Manistee. They have a full selection of all cuts. Actually, the Meijer's in Muskegon sells it ground in bulk out of their butcher case. I am not sure if all Meijers have it, but Muskegon store in Fruitport twsp. does.
We can also buy ground buffalo frozen at the fish market next to Glenn's in St. Ignace. We have two restaurants in St. Ignace that sell it in burger form and the Truck Stop sells buffalo steak. Beodoin's in Naubinway on US 2 also has a full menu of buffalo and Audie's in Mackinaw City sells a buffalo burger. There is a brother and sister, I forget their name, off of exit 321 that wholesales it and accepts walk-ins and their is a ranch in Rudyard we know of but haven't visited. We buy a lot when we are near it. Coming home from a motorcycle show in September on Highway 8 in Northern WI, we spotted a buffalo for sale sign and followed the signs down a country road and bought a couple hundred pounds from a local farmer. We still have steaks, roasts and burger in the freezer.
I'm telling you, we like it. It is almost free of marbled fat, it has cholesterol, but the good stuff mostly and it just tastes good. I will have to try it on a stick. We have some tough Chuck Steaks from the Wisconsin store. Should I bring them to the expedition so we can have buffalo on a stick?
