Boreal Heritage Livestock

Boreal Heritage Livestock raises beef cattle in Manning, Alberta, in the Peace Country near Grande Prairie. Tyler May’s operation follows the Canadian beef code of practice, conducts comprehensive health testing, and adheres to recognized breeding standards. Animals graze on native grass pastures through spring and summer and receive daily attention from calf to bull in a low-stress, open-range environment. The farm rotates pastures seasonally to preserve soil health, support sustainable grazing, and encourage natural foraging behaviors.

Bulls are selected for robust genetics from established bloodlines to strengthen herd resilience. The farm maintains a cow/calf system and offers heritage and native embryos to support breed conservation. Reviewers often note the farm’s thoughtful approach to animal welfare and the consistent quality of calves. Low-stress handling practices and custom-built calving pens ensure each animal is monitored carefully during birth and early growth stages.
