CRESTON, BRITISH COLUBIA
Our Story
Built from the Ground Up in Creston
Crooked Horn Ranch is a first-generation, family-owned and operated ranch located in Creston, British Columbia. Built from the ground up, our ranch is rooted in hard work, transparency, and respect — for the animals we raise and the land we steward. Every decision we make, from pasture management to nutrition, is guided by doing right by the animal and producing high-quality beef.
What started as a passion for livestock and raising quality meat for our family has now grown into a commitment to producing honest, high-quality beef for our community. We believe that responsible ranching means low-stress handling, ethical husbandry, and thoughtful management at every stage of an animal's life.
We do not believe in shortcuts. Our cattle are raised without added hormones and without routine antibiotics — just honest beef, raised with care and intention, right here in British Columbia. From pasture to freezer, we take pride in every cut that leaves our ranch and stand behind the quality we produce.

Our Cattle
The Resilience of the Longhorn
We specialize in raising Texas Longhorn and Longhorn × Aubrac cattle — breeds we value for their efficiency, resilience, and meat quality. To balance our customer preference, we also raise a limited number of other breeds, including Angus and Hereford.
Why We Raise Longhorn?
Texas Longhorns are exceptionally well-suited to our environment. They are hardy, efficient foragers with strong maternal instincts and excellent adaptability. Their ability to perform well without intensive inputs supports a more natural, low-stress way of raising cattle.
Their lean, flavourful beef aligns with our philosophy of producing a healthy, high-quality product while maintaining excellent animal welfare.
Feeding & Nutrition
Honest Beef, Raised with Care
Our Feeding Program
Our cattle graze on fertile pastures of the Kootenays throughout the summer and are free-fed grass and alfalfa hay during the winter months. They are raised in a low-stress, natural environment with a strong focus on animal health and responsible management.
In addition to our pasture-raised program, we offer limited quantities of beef finished with a carefully managed organic grain ration. This approach allows us to offer a slightly different flavour profile while maintaining our high standards of care.
Why Choose Longhorn?
Naturally lean and well-marbled, Longhorn beef is known for its clean, rich flavour without excess fat. It tends to be lower in overall fat and cholesterol while remaining tender and enjoyable.
From a nutritional standpoint, Longhorn beef is often higher in protein relative to fat and can contain favourable omega-3 to omega-6 ratios when pasture raised. It's a wholesome, nutrient-dense protein source for your family.
