If there’s one thing we understand, it’s indulgence. So do our cows! From happy suckling calves to munching on rolling Albertan pasture, every piece of our story is based on the best ingredients enjoyed daily.
Sadly, as a human, you don’t have four stomachs to digest our treats with. As a result, we have to make sure that our indulging doesn’t involve foods that cause heart, weight, or energy issues.
Our cows—the kings and queens of healthy eating—have shared their wisdom on how you can better manage indulgence and nutrition this summer season. Let’s hear what they have to say!
“We cows take our time, chewing our food over and over again. You two-legged friends can do the same!”
Put some thought into balancing your plate, take time with each bite, and listen for your body’s natural signals, including when you need to drink. With a little care, you won’t end up overstuffing yourself, and your insides (whether it be one stomach or four) will thank you for it.
Wagyu cows crave fresh grass and the craggles of local hay. We humans have our own healthy pastures at the grocery store, but it can be challenging to stay on track—especially with summer on the mind. Just as cows always go for fresh stuff, you can first fill your plate with those good-for-you options. Then, if there’s room, a little treat (like that tempting grain bucket for our cows) won’t hurt.
It’s not all about veggies, however. Any minimally processed meat option like our Wagyu snack bars can give you a protein kick without filling you up on sodium and preservatives.
Did you know the word ruminate comes from animals like cows and goats? These “ruminate” species use a special stomach (the rumen) to process tough stalks and complex starches. Over time, they chew, chew, and chew some more—extracting nutrition from unlikely sources.
An unlikely place that you probably spend too little time thinking about when dieting is the role of water and hydration. Water is essential for a healthy cow, and it’s just as important for you! Keep your water bottle handy, just as our cows have access to a clean stream, and remember to take frequent sips throughout the day. Your body will be moo-ving smoothly, just like our spotted friends!
The best part of summer is the freedom to roam. Introducing even a little bit of wandering into your day offers cardio, happy endorphins, and fresh air—three key parts of healthy living. You may just find that increases in mood lead to decreases in appetite.
Have you ever seen a cow leaping in the grass? They may have had the right idea all along! Activity, for activity’s sake, is what a prairie summer is all about.
As fourth-generation farmers, we’ve had lifetimes to consider how nature, health, and our bodies interact. Our farm-fresh foods distill all that we’ve learned, offering you a quick and satisfying bite without introducing any junk into your system.
13+ grams of protein in every bar, packed to the brim with feeling and flavour. For healthy eating this summer, check out our entire lineup of beef bars (and “Swagyu” merch 😉) here!
Gearing Up for Autumn Adventures? It’s just about time for fall adventures—are you ready for them? We know not all people like to hike the same way.

Small-scale farming means huge flavours for our Wagyu beef bars. Since 1940, Alberta has seen quite the makeover, but our ranch is like a timeless classic—still charming as ever since we first swung open the gates. Through rain and shine, grasshopper invasions, and bumper crop celebrations, we’ve always poured our hearts (and maybe a few […]
In today’s world, where consumers are increasingly conscious of where their food comes from and how it’s produced, ethical farming practices are no longer a niche concern but a growing expectation. This is especially true for meat products like beef. When you hear the term “factory farming,” what image does that conjure up in your […]
Let’s face it, we all crave convenience. But when it comes to snacking, convenience often clashes with our desire for healthy, nutritious options. We’re bombarded with sugary bars, greasy chips, and processed snacks that leave us feeling sluggish and unsatisfied. But what if there was a better way? You are a busy individual. You juggle […]
