~ Are you Overwhelmed with trying to find a Trusted Source of Humanely Raised Pasture Fed Beef?
~Do you want Traceability so you can be Confident about the Meat you are Eating?
~ Are you ready to Take Charge and Feel Good about the Meat you are Feeding your Family and Friends?
We are in the process of becoming Verified Beef Producers. We want to demonstrate to our Customers our Commitment to Traceability, and Respectful Practices - Becoming Verified Beef Producers is one of the ways we can do that
Our Abattoir is also committed to Transparency and Traceability. They follow strict protocols to ensure that we only bring home Dykshoorn Farms beef, and every animal has their own unique tracing number.
We Raise our Cows out on Pastures where they can eat Nutrient Dense Native Grass, or Lush Tame Grass as the Conditions Allow.
In the Winter months we feed them Silage and Hay bales to help them maintain their Health and Condition.
We use trained Dogs and Horses to move our cows as Stress-free as possible
We follow Regenerative Agriculture Practices to help keep our soil and pastures healthy
The Abattoir we use also takes great pride in respecting the animals they harvest. They have taken extra steps to become Humane Handling Certified by the Animal Welfare Approved Organisation

Dykshoorn Farms is a 5th Generation Family Farm and Ranch in Foremost, which is located in Southern Alberta. We want everyone to have access to great tasting, ethically raised beef, and we are committed to growing and raising quality products while protecting the land and respecting the animal.
We raise Red Angus Hereford Cross Cattle which graze on pasture in the summer, and are fed Silage and Rolled Barley which has been grown on Dykshoorn Farms in the winter months. We believe that the care with which we raise our animals translates into a better product you can taste and see. We are excited to say we are working towards being "Verified Beef" Producers which gives us and our customers the ability to trace our cattle from Birth until Harvest.
