Kala Ranch

Kala Ranch Kala Ranch breeds & raises registered Black Angus cattle without the use of steroids/hormones. We started Kala Ranch soon after BSE hit and because of BSE.

We sell registered bulls that are vet checked & semen tested and registered replacement heifers. Everybody thought we were nuts! But because we love our Alberta steak, we wanted to know what was in our beef and that it would always be a safe product. So, with one little pail bunter left for dead at the local feedlot, Kala Ranch's herd was born. Then the neighbour sold out (BSE + drought = cattle i

ndustry on life support) and we bought a PB Registered Black Angus cow/calf pair and a calf. Slowly over 11 years we've grown, selling off our best bulls for sires and holding back our heifers. We calve in May and June. We don't use growth hormones, steroids or daily antibiotics. But we do vaccinate and treat the sick/injured ones as necessary. To not do so would be inhumane, contrary to strict organic definition. We also don't push our upcoming breeding bulls! Our philosophy is that they shouldn't melt out on the breeding pasture, the legs and feet need to stay sound and we don't want them to die early of liver cirrhosis. Our customers are commercial cattlemen and the only sales men we employ are the bulls themselves. Our bulls are 2 yr olds when they're sold, vet checked and semen tested.

2 country kids who came back into the game, building our ranch from absolutely nothing, starting in our 40's! And yes, we still have that first pail bunter! Her name is Abby.

Our Story

We started Kala Ranch soon after BSE hit and because of BSE. Everybody thought we were nuts! But because we love our Alberta steak, we wanted to know what was in our beef and that it would always be a safe product. So, with one little pail bunter left for dead at the local feedlot, Kala Ranch's herd was born. Then the neighbour sold out (BSE + drought = cattle industry on life support) and we bought a PB Registered Black Angus cow/calf pair and a calf. That started our love affair with the Black Angus breed. Slowly over the years we've grown, selling off our best bulls for sires and holding back our heifers. We calve in May and June. We don't use growth hormones, steroids or daily antibiotics. We vaccinate all our cattle with 2 doses of Covexin and Express 5. We also don't push our upcoming breeding bulls! Our philosophy is that they shouldn't melt out on the breeding pasture, the legs and feet need to stay sound and we don't want them dying of liver cirrhosis. Our customers are both purebreeders and commercial cattlemen and the only sales men we employ are the bulls themselves. Our bulls are 1 and 2 yr olds when they're sold, vet checked and semen tested before going out. So here we are, 2 country kids who came back into the game, building our ranch from absolutely nothing, starting in our 40's! Our reputation is growing for calm and quiet cattle with longevity, the right genetics, and fertility. So, we’re pretty excited about our future and hope you’re going to be a part of it.

And remember, always treat the animals in your care with dignity and respect. It’s an honour for us to be looking after them so do it with integrity.

Thanks for reading about us,

Kristine and Geza
