About this farm

At Tall Timber we produce beef that tastes great without hormones or antibiotics. Our cattle graze natural pasture​,​ between the trees in a sustainable ranching operation near Bergen​,​ AB. What makes Tall Timber Cattle Co. beef different? - Uncultivated land naturally absorbs and stores CO2 in the soil​,​ trees and plants. - Grazing cattle reduce fire risk and naturally fertilize the soil. - We protect the ecosystem from erosion and fecal contamination by fencing off creeks and wetlands. - Sustainable ranching provides habitat for native wildlife. Come and share our beautiful​,​ quiet landscape and learn about raising beef. Most of our cows & young calves are out at pasture for the summer but you can visit the yearlings right here. Ask about what we feed​,​ how many babies we have in the spring​,​ how long they stay with us. Can you tell them apart? Where's Finnegan? He was our little bottle baby. Remember to move slowly and stay quiet - we don't like to stress the animals. Maybe you'd like to climb up into the big tractor or check out the baler and rake? It takes a lot of hay to feed the cattle all winter. Watch our young foal stretch her legs in the pasture​,​ pet the horses - but be careful of your fingers - they can bite. Enjoy a hike through the woods​,​ or around the pond - watch for songbirds​,​ herons​,​ loons​,​ frogs​,​ fish and snails. See how many wildflowers you can identify - lillies​,​ violets and shooting stars. Lie down in the tall grass and listen to the rustle of the breeze. Take some photos - we might even use them on our website​,​ (with a photo credit to you​,​ of course). Please reserve a spot if you are interested in a trail ride around the property. We have a few quiet horses that are suitable for anyone over 8 years and under 250 lbs. Younger kids are welcome to sit on the horse while we lead them on a short ride.
