There’s no shortage of talent in British Columbia’s butchery scene—but few can match the passion, precision, and professionalism of Tyler Wilson, who is once again representing Rangeland Meats at the 2nd Annual BC’s Best Butcher Competition. Held on May 3, 2025, at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, this premier event showcases the very best in meat-cutting skill, creativity, and craftsmanship from across the province.
Tyler, a proud member of the Rangeland team, is no stranger to the pressure and prestige of the competition. After a strong showing last year, he’s back—sharper than ever—ready to take on BC’s best in pursuit of the top title.
“It’s an incredible honour to be involved in an event like this,” says Tyler. “To compete at this level with the best butchers in the province is a privilege. The fact that the Devick’s (Rangeland Meats) have asked me to represent them twice is awesome! The outpouring of support from friends and family has been truly amazing! To have so many people behind me gives me great confidence and inspiration to go and be the best I can be… and maybe… just maybe be the best in BC!!!”
Butchery with Purpose: The Rangeland Way
At Rangeland Meats, we don’t just cut meat—we raise it, care for it, and treat every part of the process with integrity and excellence. As a family-run operation rooted in ranching tradition, we pride ourselves on producing premium, ethically-raised meats that reflect the very best of BC agriculture.
Having Tyler represent Rangeland is more than a badge of honour—it’s a statement. It tells our community that we hold ourselves to the highest standards not just on the ranch, but on the cutting table, too.
Competitions like BC’s Best Butcher do more than highlight individual talent—they elevate the entire industry. By showcasing the technical skill and artistic flair that true butchers bring to their work, events like this inspire a new generation to see the profession as a craft worth pursuing.
