PUFA is very low (fractions of a gm) for bison and beef regardless. It's not an efficient source of Omega 3's. It's the balance of O6/O3 that is desirable in Grass Fed meat, it's less biased toward O6.

From the USDA NAL Database:

Bison, Grassfed, Ground, Raw 400gm: Omega 3: 0.2gm, Omega 6: 1gm
Bison, Ground, Raw 400gm: Omega 3: 0.3, Omega 6: 2.3

	thats 5/1 for grassfed and about 8/1 for the grain is my math right – Anthony Pierre Feb 1 2012 at 15:24
	Total PUFA content is 4% of fat, so omega 3 is ballpark 0.5-0.66% of total fat. Grass-fed vs grain-fed there's actually not a huge difference. – Matt Feb 1 2012 at 15:48

Grass fed VS grain fed ruminants (bison)
