“Multigeneration Regenerative Stock Farm with a focus on  strong maternal traits”

 Our family operates a family based operation in Deadwood, Alberta, one hour north of Peace River. We run a mixed farm and ranch operation with the cow herd as the main focus. The farm was started by my parents, Jim and Shirley who are both celebrating their eightieth birthdays this year.  Dad’s keen eye and passion for cattle has been contagious and passed on to us and we hope to continue and build on this legacy.  We are new to the purebred business but prior to acquiring a Purebred Angus herd the focus of our commercial cattle management was based around  strong maternal characteristics.  

Our cow herd is not pampered, we calve in May and the calves are pastured with mom, until approximately February.   Our weaning date is set by when the swath grazing runs out. Although some years it may be tough on the dam, we feel it helps gut and reproductive development in the calves and it naturally sorts off the dams who can't thrive in this environment.  We also cull on disposition, udder, foot and leg structure.   The bulls are then developed moderately and slowly with no creep on forage, oats and pellets. Our females developed similarly and to our best ability, the herd sire bull power is researched and selected on having a great dam and sire behind them, as well. The cow herd and bulls are on a full health program with limited use of antibiotics. 

Every bull and female has a quality dam behind them and we would love to show you the cowherd.

We appreciate and would like to thank everyone who has supported our program in the past years and look forward to meeting new customers and great people along the way.
