High in the mountains of New Mexico is where our fourth-generation ranch is located and where we raise buffalo, elk, and cattle. Separate from the Herd with Pearson Ranch jerky, weve been making jerky since 1959. Satisfy all your jerky cravings with Pearson Ranch jerky that is made with Game Meat and hickory flavoring.

Venison refers only to the meat of deer. It is an incredibly lean meat. Its flavor is sometimes likened to beef with subtle gamey notes. It can be so lean, that when it is simply ground for burgers, it is sometimes necessary to include bacon, olive oil, or cheese, or blended with beef to the mixture to improve texture.

Venison is comparable in protein, but lower in calories than most grass-fed beef, lamb, or pork. It tends to also have more moisture than these meats. Venison is not consumed in the United States as commonly as meats like beef, lamb, and pork because of the stringent rules of the USDA and most of the meat comes from New Zealand and Tasmania.

Our venison products are all USDA approved. It is also low in fat, high in protein, MSG-free, gluten-free, soy-free, and does not have added nitrites.
