Back Forty Beef
|
|
|
We're a first generation family farm located just west of Red Deer with grass fed pastured Lowline cattle, free-range chickens, eggs and meat rabbits. We're a family of 4 that made the move from the city to a farm in 2021 and quickly got started raising our own animals.
All of our animals are antibiotic and hormone free and are raised with a natural organic (not certified) diet. We free range all of our animals on pasture, bush and grass and strive to provide them with the most natural diet possible. In 2025 we will be implementing regenerative rotational grazing practices for our beef to foster the land in a natural intensive grazing & rest strategy. |
We offer grass fed and grass-finished Lowline Angus beef that is pasture raised to approximately 20-22 months of age. Our beef is high quality, well marbled meat with loads of flavor and not fed any grain. We typically offer 1/2 and full animal packages in the late fall and early winter after a summer on pasture.
Raised from Birth
All of our calves are born on our farm and raised from calf to finished. We do not bring in calf or cows from auctions.
