Cattle on a beautiful ranch in Alberta. The beef industry in Canada and around the world has faced many challenges. Mad cow disease, over supply, drought, cost of hay, and many other challenges have resulted in a fairly up and down industry. However, these cattle, resting on a hill in Kananaskis Country in Alberta’s pristine foothills, don’t seem to have a worry in the world. The dramatic fall colours and snow on the Rocky Mountains enhance the scenic image…an idyllic Alberta landscape!
