In 1914, Irvin Heuchert's grandparents moved to Saskatchewan from North Dakota and bought their homestead in the spring of 1916. The farm had a good house and established yard and the original barn and granary are still standing today. Irvin's son Randy, his wife Yolanda and their three sons, Leland, Decland and Ryland, now live on the farm and the boys are the fifth generation of Heucherts to inhabit the place. Irvin and his wife Lois live in Saskatoon and he commutes to and from the farm every day. Through the generations, the Huecherts have produced beef and dairy cattle, hogs and chickens. Today, they only grow grain and seed 3,500 acres per year with canola, oats, peas, and wheat in rotation.

Bryan and Tracey Willms are currently at the helm of Wilbar Cattle Co, but the herd was founded by Bryan's grandparents, Jake & Bernice Wilms. Wilbar has always been a true family operation and that tradition continues today, with Kylie & Owen representing the fifth generation on the farm.

QUICK CANADIAN PIG FACTS All pigs in Canada are raised without the use of added hormones. Nearly all Canadian pigs are raised indoors to protect them from the elements and disease. Farmers are always looking for better ways to care for their pigs, including social housing and enrichments. Sweating like a pig is to not sweat at all! Pigs have no sweat glands so they rely on shade and water to keep cool. Barns have sophisticated ventilation systems and some even have sprinkler systems to keep the pigs cool and comfortable.
