[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 925562, member: 9096"] Well, around our place, we're pretty much all on benchland about 300 ft above the Fraser river, Most people just sell hay or raise cattle, the biggest have about 100 head, we have 23. We are set up to grow vegetables and grain, but don't have markets to make it worthwhile anymore. We used to grow an acre of carrots and a couple acres of squash, an acre of onions as well as potatoes. Our place used to be an apple orchard that supplied Buckingham Palace with apples in the 40's... There are 3 of those trees left. If you travel 30 miles north, you have the Diamond S ranch, which runs 600 head I think, and if you go further away, you have other big ranches such as the Douglas Lake ranch (owned by Walmart!!!), The Gang Ranch (I believe it's North America's largest ranch), the Chezacut ranch (we were dreaming of buying it years ago). These larger ranches have square miles of deeded land, and 100's of square miles of range. [/QUOTE]
