Premium Natural Elk Meat Like the buffalo, the majestic elk, the largest of the red deer species, once inhabited the Canadian landscape in huge herds. European settlers soon recognized the value of the elk for meat as well as prized hides and antlers. Close to extinction in the late 1800's, today the wild herds have increased in numbers and domestic elk farming has become a viable agricultural business. Elk meat, also known as venison, is becoming increasingly sought after around the world due to its delicious taste and lower fat content than beef. It is considered to be mildly gamy in flavor.

Elk producers care about these animals, proactively leading, researching and improving management and health care strategies.
