About Us

2023 marks year 15 at Redline Livestock. Within that time span, it has turned into a family operation. Life is more fun with our kids; Joni, Grady, Morgan, and Orin. The farm is located less than an hour’s drive north-east of Calgary International Airport, about 20 Miles East of Didsbury, AB on the #582 Highway. Our operation is based around livestock, grain, and custom equipment.

The cowherd currently consists of 580 breeding females. The seedstock portion makes up about 180 of this number; and is divided between two breeds; Red Angus and Polled Herefords. The commercial herd is based around non-registered Polled Hereford cows, bred to purebred Angus bulls. The commercial calf crop each year is bred to be majority F1 crossed calves.

When we started, we both had recently graduated Olds College, with diplomas in Agriculture Business and Agriculture Production. The network of people we met in Olds have proved to be lifelong friends, many in similar situations to ourselves. Both of us have been through and selected in the Cattleman’s Young Leaders program, Becky in 2013 and Travis in 2019. We have always strived to be prograsseive minded, and to push hard at what we do. Both being raised on commercial cow/calf mixed with grain operations, we had a strong background to begin within commercial cattle, but started entirely from scratch in the purebred industry. Some helpful mentors and family members along the way have been crutial pieces to the puzzle for us. Of course, the best lessons learned have also been the hardest ones.

Expanding from being solely based around the cowherd has been a source of risk management, in changing times. We began running custom equipment; balers, sprayer, floater, haybine, and trucks within the last 5 years. Grain farming is also coming into the equation in 2023, which again is an exciting step forward.

We have enjoyed getting our kids out and about to numerous junior shows and 4H events in the past couple of years. It has become a place for us to connect with other producers, to visit with good friends, and mostly; our vacations away from home. Our kids are proving to be keen enthusiasts in the cattle side of things, and we are excited to see where that takes Redline Livestock in the coming years. We didn’t get to expand upon an established purebred herd ourselves in the beginning, and we hope that is something we can offer our kids going forward, to help give them a viable future in our industry.

Raising our kids in this business is a definite bonus for us. They have countless people to look up to and learn from, and their future is bright.

To all of our customers; both new and returning, we look forward to seeing you this sale day.

Thank-You

Travis & Becky
