Becca’s First Bison Skull – October 4, 2019

On the farm is it important to us to utilize the whole animal as much as we can. We keep the bones for broth, organ meat for concentrated nutrition, hooves for dog treats, send the hides to a taxidermist to make into fur rugs and have recently started to make bison skull art. This is the first skull that we processed. Becca traded it for a tattoo to honor her late father, a mountaineer and ski patroller who passed on Mt. Saint Helens in 2015. The skull hangs in the artist Kassandra Lampwick’s studio to this day.
