Venator Ranches Ltd.

Venator Ranches Ltd., angus cattle, Hudson’s Hope, BC, in the Peace River region near Fort St. John, is recognized for a consistent approach to herd quality and welfare. Dr. Christoph has partnered with the Canadian Angus Association for over ten years, ensuring each animal meets registry standards and receives routine health screenings. The herd grazes on rotational pastures across rolling foothills, and calves are introduced to handling pens and quiet interaction from the first weeks of life.

The ranch’s background in sustainable grazing practices helps support soil health and encourages natural behavior among the cattle. Housing combines open barns with deep bedding, offering shelter during winter months without restricting movement. Venator’s careful breeding records and regular veterinary consultations reflect a commitment to balanced temperament and growth. Visitors often note the calm demeanor of the cattle, a result of gentle handling routines established from birth.
