As a family, we’re big on the business of integrity. We see it as the line between promise and performance, staying on the right side means doing what we say.

We’re in business to provide premium beef products, raised without antibiotics or added hormones, to discerning consumers who value peace of mind knowing they’re purchasing meat that:

  • Has high marbelling and grading and is safe and traceable back to our ranch
  • Has been produced using sustainable agriculture best practices and compassionate animal care protocols
  • We value and respond personally to customer feedback

Our brand is our promise to you on three key aspects of our business:

  1. The way we raise our cattle:
    • Without the use of added hormones, steroids, antibiotics or additives of any kind
    • Pasture raised and then grain finished at Highland Feeders on a specially formulated diet of wholesome grains and forage
    • By carefully selecting ranchers with a proven commitment to outstanding genetics, diligent record keeping and enhanced food safety
    • With exceptional and compassionate animal care and humane treatment
  2. How we process our Spring Creek Ranch Premium Beef:
    • In federally inspected, HACCP approved, XL Lakeside facility in Brooks, Alberta to ensure optimal food safety
    • Graded to Canadian grading standards to consistently meet or exceed the specifications of Canada Grade AAA and higher with premium marbling
    • In packaging that safeguards product integrity and provides information accountability
  3. Our commitment to environmental sustainability:
    • Our family has earned provincial and national recognition for the development of innovative technology that uses bio waste like cattle manure to:
    • Generate electricity for our community
    • Produce odorless fertilizer for our land

 

Keeping our promise to you is simply integral to the way we live and work.
