TK Ranch

TK Ranch is located in the endangered Northern Fescue Grasslands of east-central Alberta, 26 kilometers south of Coronation and 55 kilometers north east of Hanna. It was started by Thomas Koehler Biggs in 1956 and today three generations live and work on TK Ranch. For over 50 years TK Ranch has been committed to taking care of the wild prairie and producing quality beef for Albertans. But a lot of things have changed with our food system since TK Biggs moved to the remote grasslands of east-central Alberta. For a long time we had been aware of the problems created with the industrialization of agriculture and its effects on animal welfare, wildlife, water and health. But in the early 1990s the realities of a globally focused food system forced us to make some hard decisions.
