Catherwood Livestock
Catherwood Livestock, Guernsey cattle, Perdue, SK, serves the Saskatchewan prairies near Saskatoon. Les Hamm has maintained a Guernsey breeding program for more than a decade, following guidelines set by national cattle associations and conducting genetic and health screening on every cow. Sustainable pasture rotation and organic fertilizer practices reflect the family’s long history in prairie agriculture.
The herd grazes on rotational pastures complemented by sheltered calving barns, and calves are handled daily to foster gentle temperaments. Emphasis on balanced nutrition and pasture management supports steady milk production and resilient herd health. Breeding decisions prioritize temperament, udder structure, and adaptability to local climates, reflecting a philosophy of gradual herd improvement.
Daily herd evaluations and collaboration with a local veterinarian ensure prompt attention to health concerns, while attention to pasture biodiversity supports a resilient environment. Children often accompany feeding chores, reinforcing a hands-on approach to animal care in the next generation.
