Our Story

Our story begins in 1956 when Hank Lohues and his new bride Mary boarded a plane in Holland to seek a new life and new opportunities in Canada.

Hank found work hoeing sugar beets and as a general farm laborer. Eventually he was able to rent land to grow his own sugar beets, and his farming career was underway. Hank and Mary rented a small farm in the McNally district until 1969 when Mary found an ad in the paper for a farm for sale in Chin. At last, the dream of owning their own farm became a reality! Hank was joined by his younger brother Jerry, and together they formed a lifelong farming partnership.

Prior to the arrival of center pivots, irrigating the sandy Chin loam soil was a constant struggle, yet Hank recognized the farm’s promise and the farm prospered. In time, the next generation stepped in to lend a hand. John and Shelley, George and Angela, and Mark and Trish all joined the family farm, eventually taking over its management when Hank and Jerry retired. Today, the daily operations of the farm are transitioning to the capable hands of the third generation: James, Christopher, Zach, Connor, and Cody.

Originally a sugar beet farm, our focus has shifted to producing edible beans as a cash crop, along with wheat, barley, hybrid rye, oats, and alfalfa, which all play a vital role in supporting our livestock operations.

The farm, feedlot and purebred cattle compliment each other and share resources, labor, and equipment. Our farm embraces innovative technologies in everything we do, from irrigation efficiency and precision agriculture to regenerative ag practices to protect and improve our soil.

Our farm’s success stems from our unwavering dedication to family values and mutual respect. With a commitment to excellence in every aspect of our work, we embrace the daily challenges that come our way. We are proud of our accomplishments and look forward to seeing future generations continue Hank’s legacy.

"WIN-WIN" PROGRAM

"Every bull sold comes with a bid on your calves in the fall"

You win

Excellent sale price: We pay top dollar for calves that enter our feedlot. We can also offer to contract your calves during the summer months.
Less stress: On the day you wean your calves you already know your price and don't have to worry about what price you are going to get or what the weather is going to do. No worries about calves getting cut out because of a minor problem or off color. We are also flexible on delivery times and dates.
Less shrink: We have a government inspected scale. The calves are weighed on the truck and the shrink is determined on a sliding scale based on distance from our feedlot.
No sales commission: All that you pay for is the brand inspection and the trucking to get your calves to our feedlot.
Pride: You can come back anytime to the Feedlot and have a look at how your calves are doing.

Performance: We get large groups of calves that the packers are looking for and we know they will perform and yield among the best in the industry.
