    #210 Jim Beauperez - Buffalo Whisperer

    Jim Beauperez - known as the “Buffalo Whisperer,” is a fourth-generation Colorado native and proud alumnus of the University of Colorado. Alongside his wife, Julie, owners and operator of Eagle’s Wing Ranch, located at an elevation of 8,200 feet near Routt National Forest. At Eagle’s Wing Ranch, Jim and Julie raise natural bison, providing high-quality, grass-fed meat from farm to table. The ranch’s unique location, combined with legendary North Park grass hay and individual attention given to each bison, results in a product that embodies the spirit of the American West—naturally grass-fed and finished with no antibiotics or growth hormones. Jim’s passion for bison ranching began over two decades ago, and in 2007, he and his wife made their dream a reality by purchasing the historic Chedsey Ranch near Walden, Colorado. This family-operated ranch allows their bison to roam freely and live with dignity, mirroring the way they have for thousands of years in the picturesque North Park region. Jim’s special connection with the bison, earned through years of understanding and trust, is what has earned him the title of the Buffalo Whisperer. In addition to his work with bison, Jim is also involved in archaeological studies as a collaborator with CU Boulder archaeologists. His extensive knowledge of bison has contributed to recent research on stone tool effectiveness and reverse engineering alongside archaeologist Dr. Devin Pettigrew and primitive survival expert Donny Dust, where his unique insights on bison behavior and history have proven invaluable. Jim’s interdisciplinary expertise blends his deep connection to the land and its history with a scientific approach to understanding the ancient past.
