What is a Ranch?

          A ranch is the unique relationship between man and nature working
together in a sustainable manner.  The ranch is a place where generational knowledge is passed on by mentorship, each generation taking their turn as both student and teacher.  We live and work with each other in a beautiful yet difficult environment.  This environment builds and molds our integrity, work ethic and our character.  The ranch demands dedication and attention daily to both land and animal.  With the advent of factory farm food production people have lost the ability to provide their families with a healthy diet.

Location:

          We are located west of Theodore, Saskatchewan in an area known as the Beaver Hills.  The land that we run our cattle on is a pristine parkland landscape with many wildlife species.  We raise Speckle Park cattle with the natural resources we have available to produce top quality meat products for the consumer.  The wildlife are our gauge to see if we are doing things right.  The call of a bull elk in the crisp fall air, the scream of a red–tailed hawk in July, the howl of the coyote, the cow and calf moose browsing the wetlands or even the rare sight of a bear or cougar at dusk is evidence of our commitment to land stewardship. 

              

“We do not inherit the land, We borrow it from our children”

 

   

Our Cattle:

         Our family runs a herd of 150 Speckle Park and Angus cows. The Speckle Park is a uniquely Saskatchewan breed of cattle and has the combined genetics of some of the oldest breeds known; White Park cattle, Teeswater Shorthorn and of course the popular Aberdeen Angus.  Speckle Park cattle have been selected to provide the best-flavored and most tender meat worldwide.  The Speckle Park is a rare breed of cattle that has been used mostly to expand breeding stock to this point.  Instead of seeing it only on our kitchen tables, we will now be able to provide this quality meat to our customers.

Our Goal:

          Our goal is to be able to sustain ourselves by controlling the treatment of our animals from birth to the consumer’s plate.  We want to make our living from working with the land using beef animals to convert the energy captured by the plants and convert it to a healthy source of protein.  We wish to be successful in this endeavor while passing our values and beliefs to our children, so this knowledge can be learned.  Sustainability is dependant on our and their ability to make a living raising food.


Cattle are fed a 100% vegetarian diet

Natural Diet

          Legacy Speckle Park Beef cattle are fed a 100% vegetarian diet.  No growth hormones or feed additives other than the natural ingredients of the forages and grain.   The first 14-18 months of the animal’s life is spent on native ranges, seeded pastures and hay.  As a calf they eat grass and in winter they are fed a grain supplement to assist in winter survival.  Towards spring they are on pastures until fall and winter.  The last 3-5 months they are on a diet of grain and hay.  This slower growth period allows the meat to become well flavored and tender.

   

Meat Quality and Trace ability:

            Our meat is both inspected and graded by provincial inspectors at West Bridgeford Meats of Tugaske, SK.  We have a tracking code and each animal can be traced from the meat packages you receive to our ranch and through our records here.  Each meat package will have the animal’s individual tracking number on it, this will give the consumer the confidence of knowing exactly what they are purchasing.  The ability to trace the history of these animals allows us to be accountable and transparent and gives the customer reassurance as to where their beef comes from.  They are on a grain-based ration for minimal time, which retains the beneficial fatty acids from the forages.  These are the Omega 3’s and CLA’s (Conjugated Linoleic Acids).


Technology and Beef Genetics:

            We use ultrasound technology to determine the best meat carcass genetics, and use these in our breeding programs.  The Speckle Park has been selected for carcass value since the 1950’s and has recently gone on to win numerous meat competitions at the Calgary Stampede.  The ultrasound aids in the selection of animals that will have all the characteristics to produce top quality beef.
