Farm-direct beef shipping now open Spring Coulee · Cardston County · Alberta Canada
A Canadian family farm since 1902

Four generations. One piece of prairie.

We grow grain and raise Black Angus on the same southern Alberta land our family broke over a century ago. Come see how we live.

Welcome to Bar XT

This isn’t a brand. It’s our home.

In 1902 our family turned the first furrow near Spring Coulee, in Cardston County. We’re still here — reading the same chinook winds, working the same section lines, and raising the next generation on it.

What we sell, we live. The barley in our fields feeds the cattle in our pastures, and the beef on your table comes straight from our family to yours.

What We Live By

The way of life

Work with the seasons

Seeding, grass, harvest, feed — the calendar is written by the land, not by us.

Raise it right

A single-source Black Angus herd, grain-finished at home and treated well, start to finish.

Keep it Canadian

Born, grown, finished and shipped from one family farm in southern Alberta.

“The land has a long memory. Four generations in, it still asks the same things of us — and we still answer.”
