Grazed Right

Grazed Right focuses on protecting and regenerating habitat in one of the most diverse and unique areas of Alberta. We protect and enhance this wildlife habitat and soil microbiome health through the planned grazing of cattle, pigs and laying hens. The byproducts of this method are Grass Fed Beef, Pastured Pork and Pastured Eggs that are nutrient-dense and delicious! We are the most local Grass Fed Beef for Calgary. Look us up on Google Maps under “Grazed Right.”

The core of what we do is ecosystem management. I am not a farmer, I am a steward of the land. I protect mice, gophers and their predators (coyotes, badgers, hawks, etc.). Rather than shoot coyotes and then poison an out of control gopher population, I let nature balance itself. Our cattle play a role in the ranch ecosystem, mimicking their bison cousins, and cycle nutrients on a large scale. The pigs and chickens fertilize the pastures and increase biodiversity wherever they go. It is an intact ecosystem, with respect and space for all wildlife.

We go to great effort to use low-stress animal handling techniques and are very proud of the “happy cows” we produce. We greatly value our partners (customers) and strive to build a long-term relationship with the goals of superior nutrition, environmental protection and animal welfare. We are not looking to be grocers selling two or three pounds of beef to thousands of strangers. We are developing a core group of people who are interested in small-scale (we have no employees), sustainable and affordable agriculture. All our partners are always welcome out at the ranch so you can take part in and enjoy the land and environment you are protecting.

If you want to buy beef straight from the farmer, this is the real deal. When you call, the rancher answers and there's good chance he'll be riding on horseback in the hills when he does.
