about us
Nestled in central Alberta at Pine Lake (previously named Ghost Pine Lake in the 1800’s) is where JUST CLEAN BEEF began.
OUR MISSION
THE WAY NATURE INTENDED IT TO BE
We choose to raise our cattle with no antibiotics; no added hormones; no vaccines; no feedlots; no grain; no stress; our cattle are 100% finished with all natural Alberta grown grass/hay. JUST CLEAN BEEF!
ANIMAL WELFARE / RESPECT
We believe our cattle deserve to be treated with respect and live a healthy and happy life. Seeing as they bring so much joy to our homestead; we believe they deserve the same in return.
WHY DEXTERS?
Dexter cattle are a hardy breed with a robust immune system that don’t require the chemicals typically used in a commercial cattle operation. They are easy handling; easy calving and provide a high quality beef as well as milk.
Their calm gentle nature has given them the honor of being labeled the ideal family cow.
WHAT IS GRASS FINISHED?
Not all beef cattle are raised on pasture after they’re weaned. Most, conventionally raised cattle are sent from pasture, to feedlot, where they’re “finished” on a concentrated grain diet (usually corn and barley) in an effort to fatten them up quickly for market.
Grass-fed cattle, on the other hand, spend their entire lives eating only grass: they are not fed any grains. In the spring, summer and fall, cows graze on pasture and in the winter they eat hay.
Unlike grain-fed cattle, 100% grass fed animals take six to 12 months longer to reach market weight. Up to one year of extra grass, care and labor is predominately way grass-fed beef is a higher price than most cuts of conventional beef
