Heart Of The Valley Farms

Heart of the Valley Farms, operated by the Chappell family in the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island, is defined by a commitment to producing functional, high-performing Angus genetics tailored for the unique climate of the Pacific Northwest. Their program is characterized by a "balanced" breeding approach, focusing on moderate-framed, thick-made cattle that excel in forage-based systems. Known for their high-quality purebred Angus, the farm is recognized for producing rugged, sound-structured bulls with a specific emphasis on "sleep-at-night" calving ease and explosive growth potential. Their management philosophy centers on maternal integrity, prioritizing females with superior udder quality, fertility, and the "easy-fleshing" ability to maintain condition on Vancouver Island’s lush but seasonal pastures.
