Welcome!
While we may seem ‘new ‘ to the industry, our roots run deep in the cattle/agriculture industry. For four generations our family has raised Hereford and Hereford influence cattle on the farm at Blaine Lake, SK.
We pride ourselves in raising cattle that work for the commercial and purebred cattle producers. We like the longevity and versatility of a good bull in our herd, that works with our F1 cows and our purebred cows.
Brookhill’s History: The first Purebred Herefords was purchased in the 1960’s. John & Christine Serhienko took over the family farm with their daughter, Lorraine in the early 1980’s. While purebred Herefords were always a part of the herd, the attraction of the F1 crosses started a larger commercial operation. In 2019, Tim Wood joined Lorraine and plans were soon in motion for the expansion of the purebred side. Tim’s three children immediately took to the cattle and joined 4-H and never turned back. Lorraine and Tim were married in 2022, at the farm.
The cow herd is a place of peace for all of us and its common to see any of us walking through the herd, scratching the ‘pets’ and sitting on bunks/fences just watching the cattle. We do have a behaviour policy on our farm, since we now have both seniors and kids working with the cattle.
Over the decades, we have had raised beef, dairy, pigs, and chickens. The farm is currently a 2500-acre grain farm, with approximately 20 purebred cows and 30 commercial cows. We use our commercial cows to feed our purebred habit, make some 4-H steers, great replacement heifers and to have a few recipient cows for embryos.
