We often get asked what does Bar Z mean? Pretty legit question if you are not in the ranching world.

It’s our ranch’s brand. A bar with a Z underneath it. Written out, Bar Z. Said out loud, Bar Zed

Yes, we do use our brand. Our females staying on the ranch will get branded as a yearling on their front right shoulder before heading to grass.

Why? Mostly for identification of our animals. Cannot lose a brand, as you would a tag in an ear. And it’s ours, we are registered with the province to use this brand & only us.

And as a ranching tradition. We chose this brand well over a decade ago, as a representation of us & what we do. Z, obviously as our last name is Zuk, & the bar over top as we like the simplicity it gives to our brand.
