What is The Butcher’s Take?
Our “Butcher’s Take Program” offers a selection of grass-fed beef, packaged and portioned into a range of options that provide our customers with a yearly supply of nutritious and delicious fresh-cut beef products! You can expect to find unique products that cater to worldwide flavours and delicacies, as well as all the traditional classic cuts Canadian’s grew up loving.
The cattle in our ”Butcher’s Take” program are raised on a third-generation regenerative farm, where we work hard to compassionately finish our livestock candidates on the same land they were lovingly raised on. This ensures the animals are treated with dignity and respect from start to finish, eliminating the animals’ stress.

Meet the Luing
Our herd consists mainly of Scottish Luing (pronounced “ling”), a hardy breed that is naturally acclimated to the harsh prairie winters. Originally created in Scotland, this versatile breed contains characteristics from two different breeds – the Beef Shothorn and the Highlander.
Adopting its fleshing qualities from the Beef Shorthorn and the rugged qualities from the Highlander, the Luing breed has an innate ability to forge and convert grass to fat, resulting in a succulent, marbled flavor-rich meat.

Redtail Farms proudly finishes our livestock on the same land it was lovingly raised on, ensuring the animals are treated with compassion and respect from start to finish. We firmly believe that happy livestock creates the healthiest, most nutrient-dense cuts on the market.
Our Commitment to Regenerative Sustainability
The cattle in our ”Butcher’s Take” program are raised on a third-generation regenerative farm, where we are constantly aiming to upscale our stewardship practices. Through proper grazing management, we encourage diversity, enhance ecosystems, protect our wetland and riparian areas, and promote rejuvenation of the soils to support ecology in the area.
Support Local – Family owned, managed, and operated
At RedTail Farms, it is our goal to provide the surrounding communities with the best quality grass-fed meat products available, and are honoured to have received a loyal customer following over the years. Not only do you support us, but other locally owned businesses like Blue Door Butchers, one of our trusted partners in the industry. By supporting our farm, you eliminate the middleman in the process; meaning we’re able to invest 100% of the sales received into developing our infrastructure and farm as a whole. By doing this, we’re in turn able to support the rural community that we call home.
Unmatched Quality And Sustainability
At Redtail farms, we take into consideration all the fine details that go into curating healthy, hormone and antibiotic-free quality cuts of meat and understand the significant importance of protecting our delicate ecosystems.
Our cattle graze on open pastures from birth till the time of their finishing. Our farm uses rotational and intensive grazing techniques that restore and regenerate the rich and diverse grasslands that we call home. We typically process ideal candidates at 16-18 months for the most optimal, tender, dining experience possible.
What is included in “The Butchers Take” Program?

If I purchase the Butcher’s Take program, can I decide how I would like my products cut?

Yes, you can have your products from The Butcher’s Take program custom cut and wrapped to your liking.
What does “uninspected meat products” mean in regards to The Butcher’s Take program?
+
When a customer purchases a whole animal from RedTail Farms, it guarantees that the animal will be raised and finished on-farm, instead of being transported and finished in an inspected processing facility. The meat products will be cut and wrapped in an inspected facility, but due to being finished on-farm, it needs to be labeled uninspected as stipulated by Alberta’s Meat Processing Guidelines.
The Butcher’s Take program includes everyday meat products and additional, less common cuts of meat. Is there a way I can learn about the different cuts and recommended cooking instructions?
+
With every delivery of our Butchers Take program we’ve included a helpful magazine that provides a complete breakdown of the different types of cuts, cooking methods, delicious recipes, and tips to heighten your dining experience.
