About Us

Bugle Ridge Farm was founded in 1998. It is comprised of 250+ acres with over 8 miles of high fence. We presently have 350+ head of elk of all ages. We have 80+ head of Red Deer and 50 Registered Black Angus cattle. Although originally established as a velvet antler producing farm, we have now branched out into all aspects of the elk business. We welcome your interest in our business from USDA inspected elk meat to trophy animals for your hunting preserve.
