I've never raised bison but I hear they are a bit less hardy than cattle. IIRC, Bison get diseases more easily and succumb to the elements a bit easier. Is it a significant difference? I have no clue.
Also, I don't think Bison are as domesticated as cattle. They can get pretty mean when you approach them, while you can lean up on a steer.
Bison ranches aren't uncommon so how hard can it be?
Good luck with that.
And yeah, bison meat is wonderful. I really can't tell it much different from steer meat but they say it has less fat so you have to undercook it a bit. All I know is every bison I've had from ribs to steak to burgers has been delicious.
