The bison business is riding a sustained wave of profitability as sales of the meat continued to grow. According to USDA, the prices marketers paid for dressed bison bulls averaged higher than $4.80 per pound throughout 2017.

According to the USDA Market News, Monthly Bison Report for July 2018, the average hanging hot weight (HHW) of a 24-30 month old bison bull was 651 pounds which brought an average of $489.69 per 100 pound weight (CWT). This translates into a wholesale cost of $3,208.52 per animal.

About 5 acres of land can support one or two fully grown bison. For a full herd, you may need to look at a purchase of land that is 100 acres or more.

Deadly behemoth If so, “we would all be dead.” It would cook the Earth’s surface with massive bursts of radiation called gamma rays, he said. Then, if it were close enough, the quasar would devour our planet, our sun, the whole solar system, in a matter of months, Schmidt said.

430 trillion solar luminosity

Scientists combined telescopes on Earth and in space to learn that this famous quasar has a core temperature hotter than 10 trillion degrees! That’s much hotter than formerly thought possible….Starlight Café Hours (outside dining only):

The word quasar stands for quasi-stellar radio source. Quasars got that name because they looked starlike when astronomers first began to notice them in the late 1950s and early 60s. But quasars aren’t stars. The answer is that quasars are extremely bright, up to 1,000 times brighter than our Milky Way galaxy.

Astronomers have discovered a quasar with the most energetic outflow ever seen, at least five times more powerful than any that have been observed to date. Quasars are extremely bright galactic centers powered by supermassive black holes.

Although most galaxies with no supermassive black holes are very small, dwarf galaxies, one discovery remains mysterious: The supergiant elliptical cD galaxy A2261-BCG has not been found to contain an active supermassive black hole, despite the galaxy being one of the largest galaxies known; ten times the size and one …

There is a black hole behind every quasar, but not every black hole is a quasar. So yes, in a way, a quasar is simply one face a black hole may show. Today, we know that not only are these objects quite distant, they are also powered by accretion onto a supermassive black hole.

All of the stars we see with the eye alone belong to our Milky Way galaxy. But we still can’t see individual stars within this galaxy – not with the eye alone. Even with amateur telescopes, the patch of light that we see as the Andromeda galaxy looks, at best, like haze.
