Black Angus Beef
Our Beef
Is bred, and raised here at home, cows and calves alike are fed on whole
grains, grass from our lush pastures and our own hay in the winter.
The only other item added to their diet is a mineral supplement. No animal by
products, antibiotics or hormones are used in our feeding and growing program.
No irradiation or chemical processing is used in the custom-cutting and
freezer-wrapping of your beef. From the pasture to your freezer with no
middlemen, wholesalers, distributors, transporters, market-employees, or other
hands.
When you buy Canadian beef you support Canada's beef farmers and ranchers, as
well as communities across this country.
Key Benefits

with no middle man.
- Benefit from our experience and knowledge in beef production and
meat inspection.

- Here's how you can join the movement to "Buy Local"
Slaughter
Your beef is taken to a certified butcher where it is custom-cut
to order, Provincially government inspected, freezer-wrapped, and
frozen for your freezer. They are a family run business, and have
been in business for several generations.
Beef Age
At Gableridge our grass fed beef is ready at between 14
and 18 months of age. This seems to be the optimum age for
tenderness, and leanness. Each side of beef should will weigh
between 250 to 300 lbs. After the butcher processes the side into
cuts for you, you will have between 210 and 225lb of beef for the
freezer. You will need at least 18 Cubic ft. of freezer
space to accommodate the entire side.
Often freezer space is an issue when deciding to buy an entire
side, that is why many families 'share' a side splitting the meat
between two or more families.
Value for Money
A new Ipsos Reid survey shows six in ten Canadians have changed their food
buying and preparation decisions in light of the economic downturn. Here are
some great tips for you and your family to stretch your food dollar without
having to sacrifice taste or nutrition (Canadian Beef
Information Centre)
Statistics show that the average mid income family of four consumes
an average of 4 lbs of beef per week at home. At an average
price of $10.00 per lb they will spend as much as $2080.00 this year
on beef alone. Not including entertaining. As of June, 2009, the
average cost of beef cuts retail at your local grocery store are as
follows:
- Metro, No Frills: $10.00 lb
- Gableridge Farm: $3.45 lb
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency advises that 250-300 pounds
of beef is enough for an average family of four for less than one
year; supplemented with other meats occasionally (such as chicken,
fish, or pork).
Availability
Gableridge Farm is a small family run operation, we do not
run hundreds of cattle, in this way we can ensure that we are close
to all of our cows and can provide a healthy happy environment for
them . Because of this, our supply of beef is limited.
Our cattle are usually harvested, in the fall. They
are available on a first come, first served basis.
