Elk Producers


        Producer Christine Harrison & Friend

Since it's beginning in the early 80's the elk industry in Alberta has grown to approximately 450 farms. Elk producers are a very dynamic, innovative, and energetic group of people that come from a wide variety of backgrounds. These dynamics have resulted in an industry that is constantly moving forward and establishing itself as a viable sector in Alberta's agricultural industry.  Many of the pioneers of the industry are committed to its success are a great inspiration to the many that have joined the industry in the last five years and for those in the years to come. 
    Like any other venture, elk farming is a business and the strength of the business lies with the people involved and the products produced. Alberta elk producers are committed to producing products of the highest quality to build and maintain a sustainable and profitable future. 

     Elk producers recognize their responsibility to the animal and the environment they maintain. Producers have taken on the responsibility of being stewards of the land whereby the health of the environment is kept in an ecological balance with the raising of elk. Many elk producers are drawn to this industry simply by the animal itself. Much enjoyment is received from raising elk due to their majestic stature and intelligence.
