Cattle Feeding in Alberta
Southern Alberta is an ideal place to raise cattle. It has moderate climate, good soil, land and irrigation access, and quality feeder cattle and grain markets. Beef Production and Leading Beef Management Practices
Cattle are purchased as calves or yearlings throughout western Canada. These cattle are fed a diet of grain and silage for up to six months until they gain important muscle and marbling. After this period they are transported to various beef processors in Canada and the United States.
The manure produced by the cattle is utilized as fertilizer on the farmland. It acts as a source of organic material and nitrogen to improve silage and crop production.
Quality Assurance and other monitoring programs ensure that day-to-day operations are performed to the highest standards, to guarantee safety for employees, and high-quality beef for consumers.
Computerized health program, with standardized and documented animal health procedures.
Cattle are fed silage (forage) from corn and soft wheat that is grown in the region. Grains such as barley and wheat are also purchased from farmers throughout Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
Experienced and knowledgeable feedlot employees provide the up-most care for the animals and ensure our feedlots provide a safe site for our teams and the cattle we feed. We commit to providing training and well-maintained facilities and equipment to prevent incidents in the workplace that result in injury or illness. Read our commitment to workplace safety
