Piedmont, Alabama · Est. 1998
America's Original Red Meat.
Grass-fed, pasture-raised American Bison on the south edge of the old Cherokee boundary line. Possibly the longest continual bison operation in Alabama.

DJ and Mischa White
Owners
DJ grew up on Westerns at his grandmother's TV and brought the first bison home in October 1998, to land his family had run cattle on since the 1960s. Mischa keeps the day-to-day going, from the herd to the herbs, and if somebody answers the phone knowing exactly what is in the freezer this week, that was her.
The herd
Pure bison, no shortcuts
Boundary Line does not cross its bison with anything. No beefalo, no hybrids, just pure American Bison grazing open pasture, grass-fed and grass-finished. The meat runs around 95 percent fat-free, is USDA processed, and comes in any cut beef does, from steaks and roasts to ground and jerky. The ranch has been a National Bison Association member since the first animals arrived and is a proud member of Sweet Grown Alabama.
The whole animal
Meat, bones, hides, and starter herds
Waste has no place in this kind of work. Bones go to broth pots, carvers, and artists. Hides and skulls find their way to Native craftspeople. The ranch even helps other operations get started with their own herds, and raises herbs on the side.
Come see the herd
Bring the kids. Bring the class.
Most Alabamians have never seen an American Bison up close, and the Whites are working to change that one tour at a time. School groups, FFA and 4-H chapters, scouts, church groups, homeschool co-ops, and civic organizations are all welcome, by appointment. Reach out a few weeks ahead with your group size and ages. Tours are priced by the group, so call or email for a quote.
Stay the night
A Harvest Hosts ranch
Traveling in a self-contained RV? Boundary Line is a Harvest Hosts site, which means members can book an overnight stay right at the ranch and wake up next to the herd. Book through the Harvest Hosts app, and call before you arrive so somebody is there to greet you.
