  Description

  We are a 3rd generation family farm.
  My son and I work together on the farms. We have a couple of hired workers and are looking for seasonal help. We are both a cattle and grain operation. We use horses when working with cattle. We have great quiet horses for riders of all abilities.
  
  We are located in the northeast part of Alberta in the beautiful Lakeland region. There are many lakes to visit. We are located 40minutes from Cold lake military base which is a one of Canada’s largest Air Force bases.
  We are 3hrs from Edmonton which is the capital of Alberta.
  
  Alberta has many beautiful areas of interest that should be added to any travel itinerary, such as the Rocky Mountains, and badlands of drumheller.
