What others have to say

With so much information out there, I think it is important to show the things we are doing well, to share the story of how we do things on the land, and what ranchers do. As not only a rancher, but also a consumer, I think it's important to be transparent. Ranchers are truly conservationists at work.

Stephen Hughes, Chinook Ranch – Longview AB.

We decided to become a certified operation to show that we are doing a good job at raising a quality protein. So that consumers can be confident that they are purchasing a product that is taken care of, that we tick all the boxes of what is important, and that we have records to prove it. I also like the idea of industry programs that ranchers are rewarded for raising high quality animals.

Ricky Seelhof, Woodjam Ranch – Horsefly BC

We take great pride in the well-being of our cattle and the land they graze on. This also means supporting a biodiverse ecosystem, conserving and providing the wildlife habitat that goes along with that.
