Welcome to Tatanka Bison Ranch

Located in historic York County SC, the beautiful 215-acre ranch offers our visitors the unique opportunity to view and learn about bison in a natural environment. We manage our ranch and herds using holistic and sustainable practices. We share our passion for these wonderful animals with people of all ages. Our motto is: “Preservation, Education & Agritourism.”
