We are a fourth-generation cattle operation out here on the Prairies of Manitoba in the heart of the Interlake! Our herd started out with a Simmental/Limousine influence and over the years, my father started to change directions with the herd and we now primarily run Red and Black Angus!  
 
April and I have been married and together going on 15 years, but we weren’t always in the agriculture business. We met 16 years ago, working a government job in the medical field. Life took new directions, brought us to new places and we got married. We decided to start a family and we both knew where we wanted that family to be raised! I took a chance, left my government job and we moved back to the family ranch! I grew up on this land, I was raised with this life and although April grew up in the city, she has roots on the farm and to this day you would never know that this wasn’t where she always lived.
 
So today, Myself and April along with our kiddos; “Little Cowboy Hoyt” and “Baby Wynne” now have taken over the reins and run Prairie Sunset Ranch! My father still is here, he gives us a hand, along with his wisdom and advice, and you can see my mom and other family members from time to time here too pitching in! Farming is truly a family affair!   
 

No ranch could run without our trusted and reliable extended family members! Our herd has been on this farm for four generations and are the corner stone to this ranch. With times we have changed direction and now run a primarily Red & Black Angus herd. These gals have great mothering instincts and their calves are up and running almost as soon as they drop!  
 
Along with our ladies, we have our handsome boys; “Isaac & Elliot”! These guys are truly a treat and are a great addition to our herd!  
 
On top of our cattle, we have a small flock of sheep, who keep us on our toes and a couple extra “ranch hands” named Dacotah, Chevy and Boots.  
 
No ranch would be complete without our brave guardians! Our animals are protected from predators by our “pups” Nova, Titus, Boomer & Buzz!  
 
Here on the ranch, we calve out our herd in the winter and our summers are busy making that beautiful hay for our animals.
