Golden Prairie Bison

About Us

Located just outside of Valentine, Nebraska, Golden Prairie Bison is run by Carl and Vicki Simmons, with help from their family. Our family has lived and worked on this land since Carl’s grandmother homesteaded in the area in 1914.

We introduced bison to our ranch in the mid-1990s because Carl wanted to try his hand at something new. Since then, we’ve been in awe of these majestic animals and how efficiently and sustainably they live on the land. We love working on the Great Plains and hope we can share a little bit of this unique and incredibly important place with you.


Through our new website, we are offering personalized bison herd tours for small groups, rugged camping opportunities, and bison meat sales. We hope you’ll take a look at all we have to offer. Please reach out if you have questions or are interested in booking our services.
