Modern Beef, Rooted in Tradition.

With over 5,000 mother cows, 1899 Beef Co. maintains one of the most sustainable, single-source herds in Western Canada – a lineage refined over generations for uniform quality, calm temperament, and steady growth. Every animal is born, raised, and finished on the same farm, ensuring total lifecycle control and full traceability. Every cut delivers the same trusted standard – from our pasture to your kitchen.

This is a story of renewal. By rotating the herd through diverse forages, we restore soil structure, capture carbon, and feed thriving ecosystems from the ground up. Guided by science and refined through generations of hands-on care, this approach turns healthy soil into healthy cattle – creating beef with the depth, texture, and flavour that only restorative farming can deliver.

Built for professional kitchens – While other suppliers source cattle from multiple farms with varying practices, we control every variable from birth to butchering. The result? Beef that is remarkably consistent in marbling, tenderness, texture and flavour across every single cut. Custom cuts, transparent sourcing, and federally inspected standards ensure every portion meets the demands of modern culinary programs.

Calves stay with their mothers, learning to forage naturally and adapt to pasture life at their own pace. This reduces stress, strengthens immune development, and supports healthier grazing patterns across the land.

Cattle move through pastures in controlled cycles, naturally, giving grasses time to rest, recover, and rebuild nutrients. Our graze and rest periods are carefully managed for different forage stands and changing weather to create richer soil and stronger forage.

Healthy soil, rich in microbes, worms, and fungi, boosts fertility and water retention.

Manure and organic matter return to the land, reducing the need for outside inputs.

Grasses, clovers, and legumes feed cattle while restoring soil nutrients and structure.

Our pastures sustain pollinators, birds, and wildlife in harmony with the herd.

Every 1899 animal is raised under the same genetics, care, and feed program — producing beef with dependable marbling and tenderness. Our balanced grass-and-grain finishing builds rich, layered flavour that performs plate after plate. Born on thriving Canadian pastures and finished with precision, every cut delivers the consistency chefs can trust and the depth of flavour diners remember.
