VIDEO: Diamond P GrassRoots Bison Ranch, the dream project of McCammon couple Rob and Jenny Perkins, grew from humble beginnings in Utah to a popular East Idaho destination that promises to come back bigger and better after a massive house fire last month. Rob Perkins said bison ranching was always an aspiration, and after a fateful family discussion over a decade ago, the family decided to launch into ranch life with no previous experience.
“We wanted to do something with a little bit different lifestyle, so we wanted to be active, and we wanted to get into ranching a little bit,” said Rob. “And the timing that we got into it, which was around 2013 and 2012, was a really good time to get into the bison market–bison have always interested me, they’ve been a very monumental North American animal, and so we just had a ton of respect for the animals and we did some research and decided we would just jump in.”
