Note to our followers? FYI. One Grant Kaelum supposedly at Meta"Support Team" is saying we have infringed on their Trade Mark rights or something!? They are threatening imminent and permanent deletion of our FB page here. We only post pictures etc. from our cattle and farm so no idea what their "beef" is!? Karen and I are retiring so have at it Mark Z. Before they drop us I just want to thank our loyal customers for your support over the years. Your the best! Adios Amigos!! Rick

Greetings! As another busy season comes to an end the pastures now lay idle under a fresh blanket of snow. At this time, we would like to thank our loyal customers for your Beef Orders and supporting local Alberta Beef Producers. We are sold out of all our available quarters for 2024! Karen and I are now pivoting to a new chapter in our lives as we plan to take a break from farming and focus on our hobbies, Grandchildren, and traveling. We will be reaching out to our regular customers soon to inform you all directly of our decision and options for purchasing healthy grass-fed beef going forward. Finally, with the cattle gone we will be shutting down this FB site soon. Thank you all for your interest and support over the years. Cheers Rick & Karen!

As winter wears on we are looking forward to warmer days and green grass!

This year because of higher input costs, especially calf prices, we will have fewer grassfed cattle for sale in the fall. Also, we have opted for a larger breed (Angus/Hereford/Simental) and expect the quarters to be larger. This will help us keep our final beef prices per lb as low as possible.

Order now to reserve your side of beef for 2024. Our cattle go to the butcher after coming off lush pastures and the finished beef will be ready in late November.

Enjoy grass-fed local beef with peace of mind that you are eating beef free of hormones, antibiotics, herbicides, and food additives. Our beef is lean, flavourful, tender, and high in heart healthy Omega 3’s.

Our cattle live a low stress life, free ranged for 18 to 20 months, on lush pastures and woodlands. In the fall we transport a short distance to our local butcher for Government Inspection and processing. After dry aged for 21 days our butcher cuts and wraps according to each customer’s preferences. Smokies, bratwurst, pepperoni, sausages, and jerky are all available.

Please inquire regarding pricing. we have a limited number of Quarters available so avoid disappointment by booking in early!

For any moving cattle from dry poor pasture to lush pasture be aware!

We are seeing cases of fog fever in some parts of the province, here is a reminder of what it is, and how it can be avoided:

Fog fever is a pneumonia that occurs when cattle are moved from a dry, poor quality pasture to a lush green pasture.

The cause is the rapid increase in the availability of the amino acid tryptophan when the rumen bacteria are not adapted to it.
This causes an increase in the production of 3-methylindole, which is absorbed into the blood and circulates around the body. 3-methylindole is harmful to the tissue lining the lungs, so as more 3 methylindole is circulated through the blood, more damage is done to the lungs.

Signs can begin as early as 12 hours after cattle were given access to the lush forage, but most often are seen 4-10 days after the forage change. You may see cattle breathing rapidly with a reluctance to move, standing with their head & neck extended and lowered, with flared nostrils. Cattle may wheeze, have an expiratory grunt, and may have froth flowing out of the nostrils. Coughing is not a clinical sign.

Prevention: do not give cattle unlimited access to lush pasture after grazing poor quality pasture. Adaptation (for 10 days) by limit grazing is advisable. It is also thought that an ionophore may help reduce the severity, this should be fed 1 week before turnout, and continued for 10 days after turnout.
