Hopenheart Ranch

Hopenheart Ranch raises Miniature Hereford cattle near Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, on the Canadian prairies. With over a decade of careful selection and membership in the Canadian Hereford Association, Lorrie Fraser follows health testing for calving ease, coat quality and foot structure while maintaining clear pedigrees. A family-owned operation since the late 1990s, the ranch has grown from a single cow–calf pair into a modest herd known for sound conformation.

Calves grow alongside family life on grassy pastures and gain early socialization through gentle handling during daily routines. The ranch’s timber-frame barn provides shelter and roomy calving pens that let each cow and calf enjoy a calm environment. Annual herd evaluations and selective breeding reflect a commitment to strong structure, consistent muscle development and even temperament. Feedback from local livestock shows highlights steady growth and a gentle disposition in these compact cattle. Neighbors note the ranch’s quiet routines and consistent care of each animal.
