The Canadian River’s headwaters
form in the mountains
and classic western
landscape around Raton. Located
just 90 miles to the southeast is the
Canadian River Ranch, home of
Canyon River Beef. Everyone who
tries this local, pasture fed, certified
organic beef raves about its texture
and flavor. Ranch Manger Alan Lackey says, “We
believe the key to high quality meat, in addition to the
very best nutrition, is a non-stress environment. We try
to do everything we can to do it right for our animals;
to make the most delicious, healthy meat possible.”
Winters can be tough up there in north eastern New
Mexico, so Alan supplements their graze during that
season with some alfalfa hay and certified organic corn,
soy and wheat. To make sure the cows are never confined
and “completely range raised,” he
takes feed out to the cows. First certified
organic in 2003 Canyon River Beef owners
Ted and Shirley Boucher are dedicated
to raising cattle in a sustainable
manner. Their 10,000 acre Canadian
River Ranch is managed both for environmental
stewardship and for the well
being of their 220 head of cattle.
