Description
We are a family owned and operated cow calf ranch located in beautiful northern British Columbia, Canada. The closest town is Fort St. John, BC and it's about a 30-minute drive to the ranch. We calve around 120 head starting mid-January till the end of March. Our ranch is run by myself and my husband. We have Simmental red angus cross cattle. We ONLY need help for calving season in February and March, we have no need for people during the rest of the year. We have a friendly Kangal guardian Dog and two house dogs . We also have four cats that live in the barn.
