UPDATE ON BAR 15 SIMMENTALS/STEVICK ANGUS RANCH
Yes, there is life after cows; although not entirely! We still have many bovines roaming around our place here at Pincher Creek, but that is because we like to saddle up the horses and go watch “cows eat grass” every once in a while.
Anne has retained and/or purchased 7 head of Purebred Red Polled Simmental cows and will be actively marketing the progeny. These are her passion and pastime and are well cared for. Quentin is taking care of a large commercial herd of cows for a very good customer from Cardston, so he is working out new watering and grazing systems all the time. In between, both of the Stevick’s have been enjoying some traveling and visiting friends and family; AND renovationg the house and yard.
We are planning on refining our custom grazing operation; and in doing so have taken the Environmental Stewardship Course. Fencing out dugouts and watering from off site solar water systems has been a great improvement, not only to water quality but cattle gains as well. We also offer a complete management package for anyone wanting to summer cattle here. Contact us for management rates.
I have a heifer calf selected to put in the "National Trust" sale in Red Deer, October 19th, 2008. Please see the sales page for photos and footnotes on BAR 15 FLANNA 14T.
Sincerely;
Anne
