The ranch

Bison on open ground outside Hot Springs.

Nine Mile Bison Ranch is a working bison ranch in the country outside Hot Springs, South Dakota. The herd is the reason for everything else here — the tours, the meat boxes, the hides and skulls.

Come out and see the herd for yourself, then take bison home with you.
