We are proud members of our local Bulkley Valley Cattlemen’s association. Interacting with other local ranchers and producers is where it all starts, working and helping one another. Learning from producers that have been doing it decades and decades. Carrying on the legacy of Les (previous owner of Lemieux Creek Ranch 100% Grassfed Beef) who was very involved in the association. He helped bring many events and field days together, which would also act as short “day off” and create a spirit of camaraderie amongst the farmers. Thank you Les!
We are proud to add proAction to our standards of practice. Although proAction is geared towards the dairy industry, we feel that following the guidelines set out in the program gives even more security to you in assuring you are provided with the very best standards in animal care and environmental sensitivity. Speaking with the representative from proAction, to her knowledge no one else in the B.C. beef industry chooses to adhere to the proAction standards which is responsible for producing the very best quality milk worldwide. you will probably be familiar with the blue cow logo

B.C. Environmental Farm Plan
As part of our commitment to farm sustainability we underwent an environmental review with this provincial government program. After a thorough review of the ranch by an EFP advisor several recommendations were made to bring our operation into harmony with current environmental standards. All of their recommendations were completed in 2015. This work included further protection of the riparian zone along Robin Creek. We were given the EFP designation in the fall of 2015.
Verified Beef Production
This is a Canadian verified on-farm food-safety program designed to help uphold consumer confidence in the products and management practices of beef producers. It has been designed to reduce or eliminate the possibility of a food safety concern on a beef cattle operation. The program includes audits of cattle medical treatment records to ensure any use of antibiotics and vaccines does not compromise food safety. We were audited annually.
