Ferme Dagenais

Ferme Dagenais, Canadienne cattle, Embrun, ON, serves the Ontario region near Ottawa. Founded over two decades ago by Gilles Dagenais, the farm holds memberships in national breed associations and follows established health-testing protocols including quarterly veterinary checkups.

Their herd grazes on mixed grass pastures with access to shelter barns fitted for winter weather, and calves are raised with attentive socialization to ensure calm temperaments. The operation emphasizes rotational grazing and soil-restoration practices that have become part of their stewardship philosophy. Known for its rich milk quality, the herd supports sustainable dairy projects and small-scale cheese producers in the area.

Several animals have distinguished themselves at provincial agricultural fairs for their sturdy build and gentle disposition, reflecting careful selection over generations. Feedback from local farm visitors often praises the hands-on approach and the farm’s open layout, which fosters transparency and trust.
