JayDawn Farms

Based in Southern Alberta, Murray Ranches is an extensive, multi-location operation managing a herd of approximately 3,000 mother cows across its purebred and commercial divisions. The purebred program focuses on elite Black Angus genetics, a foundation significantly strengthened by the 2023 acquisition of the renowned Bar-E-L Angus cow herd. Their breeding philosophy emphasizes maternal excellence, structural integrity, and longevity, prioritizing the propagation of proven cow families. By integrating a large-scale commercial program that utilizes both Angus and Charolais influence, Murray Ranches produces high-performance genetics backed by the stability of a self-sufficient, irrigation-supported land base.
