John & Berniece BlandThe Bland family has been raising cattle in Canada since 1920. John and Berniece, with their four children, started their herd in 1972 and presently run approximately 400 head of cows. Working alongside them are their son Don, daughter Julie and grandchildren Taylor and Brody- who are the fifth generation to be part of the beef industry in Canada. We still carry on the tradition of doing as much of the work with the cattle on horseback as we possibly can.
