The Beef Ring Traditional Cache
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
The Gilbert Plains Beef Ring is a designated heritage site. The little gable-roofed building served as a one animal per week slaughterhouse serving local farm families involved in what was known as a "beef ring".
The Gilbert Plains' beef ring house survived nearly 90 years of Manitoban winters because of the building being partially constructed from concrete. As far as is known, this is the last beef ring standing in Manitoba. The Gilbert Plains beef ring restoration took place in 2007/2008. Lorne Smith is a local resident who along with other local residents, procured a municipal heritage designation and began the restoration project. To contact Lorne for a tour or more information, call 204-548-2548 or Recreation & Tourism Coordinator @ 204-548-2063.
Cache contains a logbook and pencil. Contact us for the FTF certificate.
