About the JC Cattle Co
Our Commitment
We are committed to raising premium Speckle Park beef every step of the way. From the selection of our cattle to the careful management of their diet and environment, we prioritize excellence in every aspect of their care. We go above and beyond to ensure that our beef is premium quality, employing rigorous quality control measures and utilizing sustainable farming practices to produce meat that is not only delicious but also ethically and environmentally responsible. Our dedication to excellence ensures that when you choose our beef, you're choosing the best.
Our Story
The JC Cattle Co is a group of three dedicated and ambitious farmers who saw an opportunity to grow a sustainable farming business. We are in our second year of operation, and we joke that it all started with a trip to Costco where we saw how high the price of beef was. From there we purchased two purebred first calf heifers, and that's how our cattle addiction started.
Our goal is to foster a strong connection between consumers and their food by encouraging them to know their farmer. Through community engagement, we strive to educate our customers about the importance of sustainable farming practices and the benefits of choosing high-quality, locally sourced beef for their families.
Our Beef
Our premium quality Speckle Park beef sets a new standard in excellence. We meticulously raise our cattle on a grass and grain fed diet to enhance marbling and tenderness. Our commitment to quality extends to our feed, ensuring it is non-GMO and glyphosate (roundup) free. Our cattle are also raised without the use of steroids or hormones. From there, our cattle are taken to Peel Meat Packers INC in Drayton, ON, a provincially inspected facility, where the beef is inspected and graded. It hangs for approximately 2 weeks and is then taken to Yungblut Meats in Tavistock, ON, a well-known butcher since 1982, where it is cut and wrapped. With every bite, you taste the dedication to purity and flavour that defines our beef.
Our Farm
We are local beef farmers situated just outside of Milverton, ON, where our cattle are born, raised, and finished. Our farm is a cherished family operation, proudly owned and operated by the Chalmers family for over four generations. We consider it a profound honor to continue the rich farming legacy passed down through our family. With each day, we uphold our commitment to stewarding the land and nurturing our livestock, ensuring that tradition and excellence are woven into every aspect of our operations.
Our Philosophy
We are dedicated to minimizing waste and maximizing the use of every part of the animal. With our "nose to tail" approach, we endeavor to use every part of the animal, letting nothing go to waste. We render down the fat to create high quality tallow products, and any extra offal cuts are sent to The Bark, who creates high-quality, locally sourced artisan dog treats. From prime cuts to off cuts, we ensure that nothing goes to waste, embodying a philosophy of respect for both the animal and the environment. When you choose the JC Cattle Co, you're not just choosing premium beef; you're supporting a commitment to sustainable agriculture and responsible consumption.

When Christine's dad decided to sell the dairy cows, Christine knew she had to keep farming. Fast forward a few years, and Christine began working for local dairy farmers and livestock barns, and that's when she stumbled across Speckle Park cattle. She instantly fell in love with the breed and knew that one day she would have her own herd of Speckle Parks. Christine's family home farm is now home to the JC Cattle Co!
