Description
I live on a farm outside of Dawson Creek BC in Canada with a growing herd of 120 purebred black Angus cows. we grain farm and silage as well. I value agriculture and am a hard working person trying to make my operation grow.
I enjoy working stock dogs, river boating,quading ,hunting and my animals. I am a heavy duty mechanic that mostly works and loves nothing more than my animals. I am excited to help teach young farmers the importance of animal health, animal handling, calving, calf care, haying, silaging and grain farming. I also striving to improve herd genetics by Artificial insemination and we would love to teach/show to process of it.
