You've probably had a burger or venison, but how about elk? Right now, there's an unprecedented demand for elk meat creating a shortage and prices to double in the last five years.
The Minnesota Elk Breeders Association is trying to meet that demand by trying to get more people into the industry.
They've launched a new website hoping to attract new farmers into the field.
"Elk really are America's greatest animal and the products they produce are healthy. They're good for and are quality products," said Brenda Hartkopt with MEBA.
Minnesota is top of the nation in elk farms with nearly 150 farms, raising more than 4,200 elk across the state.
