That algorithm that runs Meta, it works in your favor. So if you're posting things like, for example, save money on groceries, buy a quarter beef, then the algorithm is going to show you your post to people who are looking for things like groceries or vouchers or, you know, things like that. That's how the algorithm works. So what you post can actually find you customers.
It's not just to post buy my beef. It's to post your whole story.
Hi. Nice to be here.
That's our ranch brand. That's Why Kick a Hay Ranch.
Don't give it away. Oh, I might help you. My name is Amy. I'm a first generation rancher. Get it yet? No.
No. I'm from Scotland.
And I live in Canada, but this, the name of the ranch is actually Maori. My husband's from New Zealand.
You're in BC.
Canada is literally halfway between Scotland and New Zealand and finger on a map. That's why we're here.
It's halfway between New Zealand and Scotland. It's in the middle. Nobody has preferential treatment.
No way.
Two things. We have our ranch. We're a direct to consumer. So we only sell beef, like we don't do auctions. So we're a grass finished beef ranch, but just for a direct to consumer market. So that's this, that's one hat. The other hat is I developed a program, if you like, to teach other farmers and ranchers how to start selling direct to consumer.
Exactly. Yeah. And there's so many free tools out there that if you learn to utilize them correctly, it just opens up a whole new world of customers for you.
We're first generation. So it's my husband's maybe got a little bit more farming background. I have zero. We're both engineers. My history or both our backgrounds is the maritime industry. So he was chief engineer on the big boats. And I designed satellite communication equipment for oil rigs and ships and the military, etc. And that's how we met. So
Nothing to do with farming at all, but it was always kind of a dream. And the first night we met, he told me that his dream was to have a ranch in Montana and to raise Wagyu beef. And we're not in Montana, but we're pretty close. And that's basically, yeah. So it was like a conscious decision to kind of leave the rat race and leave what we were doing and focus on family and raising beef.
And that's what we did. So that's what we do now.
Canada was kind of where we almost moved to the States. We almost did, but... I don't know if I can even say this. Your insurance, your medical insurance is insane. And when we were looking to move, because I was of childbearing age, I couldn't get medical insurance because it was almost like a given. So if we ever had kids, they wouldn't insure us for like four years.
We just couldn't get insurance to go to the States.
Are you saying I'm no longer a childbearing?
Every province is different, but it's tiered. So it's like free to a certain amount. And then the next tier is... say 20%. And then the next tier is 30%. So if you're in a higher tier, you only pay that higher bracket for that, that.
