Eastern Bison Association was established in mid February, ten invited members of the National Bison Association met in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania to discuss starting an Eastern Bison Association. Our industry has grown sufficiently to creat a need for an organization to provide seminars, farm tours and regional show and sale. The number of animals in the East can now support herd expansion. Our emphasis will be on marketing, production, training, animal health, public information and trading breeding stock for herd improvement.

We intend to build an active organization dedicated to improvement of the Bison Industry. The EBA Bison Briefs is the official publication of the Eastern Bison Association, currently published bi-monthly. Annual dues for Active members (Bison owners) (including voting privileges), and Associate members (non-bison owners) is $50.00 per year. If you share our feelings and wish too help, please take a few minutes to complete the application for membership.
