Our 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 will be transported to various beef processors in Canada and the United States.

All of the manure produced by our cattle is utilized as fertilizer. It acts as a source of organic material and nitrogen to grow our crops.

Quality Assurance monitoring programs are in place to ensure that day-to-day operations are being performed to the highest standards, to guarantee safety for our employees and safe, high-quality beef for consumers. Read our commitment to animal health & safety.

VRP utilizes a computerized health program, with standardized and documented animal health procedures.

Beef produced at VRP feedlots is sold locally, across Canada, the USA and the world. It’s important to us that we are producing safe, healthy, delicious beef.

We feed our cattle silage (forage) from corn and soft wheat that is grown on our own land. We feed grains such as barley and wheat that is purchased from farmers throughout Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

VRP has 125 valued feedlot employees that are committed to providing the up-most care for our animals and we are devoted to ensuring 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
