Frequently Asked Questions
See the answers to the questions we get asked most often!
What do you feed your cows?
Our cattle graze in pasture in the summer. In winter, they get free choice forage (hay) and grain. We finish our animals on approximately half the amount of grain that a traditional feedlot would. This results in meat that contains much less fat. We’ve spent years perfecting our feed rations to bring you the perfect balance of leanness and marbling.
What type of meat do I get with a purchase?
Our standard for how the meat is prepared is a make up of:
🐮1/3 roasts
🐮1/3 hamburger
🐮1/3 steaks
However, you can customize your order if you'd like at no additional cost.
Does buying a cow from you, save me money?
When you buy direct from our family farm, you are automatically cutting the margins that the wholesalers and retailers are taking. Across Canada, consumers are paying an average of $19.00/lb. in the store, when averaging several common cuts of beef. Our 1/4, 1/2 and full cow packages are $6.50/lb
