Descrição
Looking for some enthusiastic help with our calving season April-May (about 2 months). Are you interested in ranching?

We are anticipating a great 2022 when we can share our Ranch with YOU! We encourage all our visitors to contact us early to arrange a visit at a time that is mutually convenient. We want everyone to enjoy the time spent learning, caring for the animals and seeing & experiencing a great many new things. We benefit when you are happy and engaged with the new opportunities the Ranch presents.

We have some travel information that we can share with workawayers who wish to join us here in Saskatchewan.

By managing natural resources in an environmentally sustainable manner we provide for the needs of our family so that we have an opportunity to help others in the larger community.

We enjoy hosting volunteers from around the world and across the country, showing them rural Western Canadian hospitality and culture. We are a family owned and operated beef ranch and equestrian centre. Our volunteers can help with our cow herd, horse training and general ranch maintenance in the ranching aspect of our venture. Volunteer help from our international visitors and local enthusiasts is always appreciated with our equine educational experiences.

O que é isso?
Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
We hope that we can offer you some unique experiences and opportunities to learn about Western Canadian culture and hospitality. We try to make sure that our volunteers get to do fun things nearly every day (something they enjoy--like riding, hiking, sky watching, photography), frequently while we are doing our everyday chores. We are also glad to help with English as a second language.
Ajuda
Those who volunteer with us help with many of the ranch chores as well as around the house. Volunteers help with feeding and caring for the animals in the yard, herding cattle, training horses, gardening, berry picking, painting, building and repairing fences and ranch buildings, cooking, baking, house cleaning and yard maintenance. We have experience with several European students doing internships. We do require a certain level of English competency from our helpers for their own safety. If you are learning about animals AND the English language at the same time, you can misunderstand our warning about an animal and find yourself in grave danger.

Acomodação
We accommodate our volunteers in the house year round and in the bunkhouse from April-October. We have 3 cats and in the winter a couple of cattle dogs in the house. Animals are not usually allowed in the bunk house. Wireless internet in the house, no TV, but the neighbour (just across the yard) will allow you to watch with him.

Please contact us for our website!
Until 2018 our volunteers/helpers received a thank you card when they departed the ranch and if they were interested in finding employment I would agree to supplying a reference letter. When it came to my attention that Workaway was providing a very complete reference letter for Workawayers, with feedback from the different hosts, I immediately began providing a reference in this manner. Hence the sudden appearance of feedback for Workawayers in 2018 ;>)

Laura was with us for a month during calving season and helped with many chores around the ranch. She was happy to work with the different horses and showed special aptitude with one very green horse that she brought along very nicely. Laura learned about moving through the cattle herd, leading the herd, or separating out individuals from the… read more

Thank you Paul!
Your help here was greatly appreciated. Your enjoyment of our COLD weather was refreshing. I was getting tired of it, but you continued to look forward to the -20 C days even if it meant regular monitoring of water bowls. Unfortunately the cold prevented you & I from enjoying more than one horseback ride. I hope that you have had… read more

I spend 1 month on Kelly's ranch, and it was the best month ever.
I have been thought so many things from horses to cows and bulls.
I learned a lot about Western style, since I was only familiar with English and I am now even more confident with working with horses than before I came here.

I already miss all the people and all the animals I… read more

We spent almost four weeks at Kelly's and loved it. We learned a lot of things about farming, horses, cattle and other animals. The helper's crew was awesome and we had a wonderful time.
So, if you want to learn about ranches, if you love animals and are willing to work a lot (most of the time it is fun work), then this is the place.

We will… read more
