‘The Jura Ranch’ is a quintessential ranch located less than four miles north of Princeton, British Columbia. As stewards of the land, the current owners of Jura Ranch, Rob & Kelly, hold an unwavering commitment to regenerative agriculture and hold deep-rooted beliefs regarding improving the land for future generations. Their steadfast commitment to producing quality cattle and sheep has been their life’s passion for over 40 years. They originally began their venture in southern Alberta before moving to Australia and starting again Down Under for thirty years. Then, they moved back to Canada and found a great ranch in a central location that was closer to family. With a core focus on paddock-to-table production, Jura Grassfed takes pride in offering high quality, home grown beef and lamb that answers the bell for growing consumer demand for farm-to-table accountability.
All ranchers will agree that there are two main requirements for long-term success in this industry: quality soil and abundant water. 'The Jura Ranch' offers both. With a combination of deeded acres and a grazing licence totalling 83,698 acres, 'The Jura Ranch' is located mere minutes north of the town of Princeton, British Columbia; drive on pavement all the way to the ranch headquarters and enjoy uninterrupted cell phone coverage for ease of management.
The 2,625 deeded acres on 'The Jura Ranch' provide the solid foundation that many ranchers can only dream of. This large assemblage offers undulating topography full of rich, dark, and crumbly soil that is so high in organic matter that it typically appears almost black. The soil is easily workable and provides excellent drainage while retaining moisture, making it ideal for plant growth – it is essentially a well-balanced loam with a high level of nutrients.
The elevation of the ranch is just over 2,900 feet, offering good heat units with enough frost-free days for superior ranching requirements. Rob & Kelly spent 30 years producing award-winning cattle in Australia, and they learned throughout their notable journey that cattle thrive in the high country. The 81,000+ acre grazing licence in the Crown Range, located a mere three kilometers away down on a gravel road, provides more high-country hard grass through the warmer summer months that contributes to the quality of the meat. Many will recognize The Douglas Lake Ranch, which is located to the north of Jura, as another world-class ranch in British Columbia – highlighting the worth of this exceptional location.
With an abundance of water sources from Allison Creek, Separation Lake, Waynes Lake, Gould Lake, and Boundary Lake, as well as high-producing water wells, there will always be solid plans A, B, and C for water - regardless of weather conditions. Even though the last two years have been drier than average in the area and the water levels are lower than normal, the plentiful water sources have left the ranch in a good and manageable condition for the upcoming grazing season.
‘The Jura Ranch’ has miles of traditional fencing in place and significant updates with electric cross fencing, enabling plant growth to flourish through sustainable soil management and proper rotational grazing. The Jura Ranch offers a strong start to the growing season. The quality of the soil, in combination with the Similkameen Valley weather patterns, favours the early start in the spring that every producer hopes for.

The ranch headquarters consists of a 63 x 104 ft covered hay shed with the long sides enclosed, a 22 x 80 ft machinery shed/shop, a 28 x 32 ft garage, a nine box stall calving com
