Welcome to the Ogilvie Stock Ranch FAQ section! We know that you might have questions about our beef and lamb, and we’re here to provide you with the information you need. Whether you’re curious about our ranching practices, the quality of our meat, or how we ensure the well-being of our livestock, you’ll find the answers here. Let’s dive in and learn more about what makes our beef and lamb so special!
1. What Makes Ogilvie Stock Ranch Beef and Lamb Different?
Our beef and lamb stands out due to our holistic ranching approach, prioritizing natural grazing practices, minimal stress environments, and a deep respect for the land and our animals. This results in beef and lamb that’s not only rich in flavour but also ethically raised.
2. Is Your Beef and Lamb Grass-Fed or Grain-Finished?
We sell both, you can choose your preference. Our grass finished cattle and sheep enjoy a diet of natural grasses around the Kamloops area. For our grain finished animals, as they mature, we carefully introduce a grain ration to their diet, ensuring a perfect balance that enhances the flavour and tenderness while maintaining nutritional integrity.
3. How Do You Ensure the Welfare of Your Animals?
Animal welfare is at the heart of everything we do. We adhere to strict guidelines ensuring ample space, access to clean water, and a diet that promotes health and wellbeing. We routinely monitor each animal, emphasizing gentle handling to ensure an stress-free environment.
4. Can I Visit Ogilvie Stock Ranch?
We currently do not offer any tours at the ranch. However, be sure to follow along on our social media accounts to get an inside look into how we raise our cattle. We can be found on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.
5. Do You Use Antibiotics or Hormones in Your Beef and Lamb Production?
Our priority is to raise healthy, happy cattle and sheep. We use antibiotics responsibly only when necessary for the health of an animal, never as a growth promoter. Hormonal treatments are strictly avoided, ensuring the natural growth and health of our livestock.

7. What are the Health Benefits of Eating Your Beef?
Our beef is a rich source of high-quality protein, essential nutrients, and vitamins. Thanks to our careful feeding practices, our beef has an optimal balance of Omega-3 to Omega-6 fatty acids, contributing to a healthier diet.
8. How Do You Support Local Communities?
We’re committed to supporting our local community through donations, participating in local events, and partnering with local businesses. We believe in strong community ties, which help us create a sustainable future for all.
9. How Should I Store and Prepare Your Beef and Lamb for the Best Flavour?
To preserve the freshness and flavour, beef and lamb should be placed in the freezer promptly after purchase. Thawing should be done slowly, ideally in the refrigerator. When cooking, letting the beef and lamb come to room temperature before cooking and resting it after cooking will ensure maximum flavour and tenderness.
