Our Meat & Farming Practices

Is your meat 100% grass-fed?

Our philosophy is “we give our animals what they need”. Our beef and lamb are all grass fed and fed grain sparingly: Our cattle receive a grain ration in the months before processing for a better marble on the beef. Our sheep are exclusively grass feed half the year and are fed grain when the lambs are born in the fall and winter months. The grain we feed is locally sourced by family and neighbours.

Do you use antibiotics or growth hormones?

We do not use growth hormones and we use antibiotics sparingly. We do not use any growth hormones on any of our animals. Sick animals are treated with antibiotics. If an animal intended for human consumption needs treatment, we always follow the prescribed withdrawal period. (Although it is unlikely that a animal that needs antibiotics will be appropriate for human consumption)

What does "regenerative ranching" mean?

Regenerative ranching is an approach that focuses on restoring and revitalizing land health using practices like rotational grazing, protecting water sources, and not disturbing soil through tillage. This captures carbon in the soil, increases biodiversity, and supports wildlife.

What do your animals eat?

Beef: Born and raised with a grass diet, with a small grain ration in the months before processing.

Our beef are born and raised on pasture. They graze on native prairie grasses in our pastures and the alfalfa and other legumes in our hayfields. The animals we choose for human consumption usually are fed a locally grown and sourced grain ration for 2-3 months before processing. All our cattle are offered free choice Redmond Salt and Mineral year round.

Lamb: Grass fed with seasonal grain supplementation

We call our sheep “the weed team”. Sheep enjoy eating almost anything, including invasive plants like weeds and brush! Our sheep spend April-October grazing pastures most heavily affected by invasive plant species. This stops the plants from spreading allowing grasses to grow and thrive which improves our biodiversity. This way of grazing is not suitable for lambs because of the predator pressure and noxious plants that lambs are more susceptible to. So, our lambs are born in the fall and winter in the safety of the barnyard. The entire flock is fed hay and grain during this time to support pregnancy, lactation, and combat cold stress until the lambs are weaned and they can return to pasture. All our sheep are offered free choice Redmond Mineral and Salt year round.

Chicken: Pasture raised with the required grain supplementation

Our chickens are raised on pasture. They forage on grasses and food scraps in a small mobile chicken coop called “a chicken tractor” that is moved daily. Chickens need grain as a primary food source, so they are fed locally grown and sourced wheat.

Product & Storage Questions

How should I store my meat?

Our meats come frozen and packaged in butcher paper to preserve freshness. According to the government of Canada’s food safety page frozen Beef can be safely stored in a freezer at -18 degrees celcius for 10-12. Lamb can be stored in a freezer at -18 degrees celcius for 8-12 months. https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/general-food-safety-tips/safe-food-storage.html#a5
