Feb 16th A Log Cabin In The Snow

Brenda & Clint Schoepp’s home is a beautiful rustic log cabin located on their small Texan Longhorn bull breeding ranch.  These bulls look absolutely ferocious, but are actually a very passive breed with a wonderful temperament and an ability to thrive on poor pastures.

I visited a large scale cropping farm near Fort Saskatchewan. Cropping 14,000 acres the Simes family had also recently purchased their own elevator for storing their grain. Of particular interest was that they were able to turnover their machinery every year for new machinery. This was due to the scale of their operation which enabled them to access significant discounts from the manufacturers.
