Saskatchewan Angus Association ~ 2024 Purebred Breeder of the Year ~ ~ Eye Hill Stock Farm ~ ~ by Randy Tetzlaff The Schachtel family originally homesteaded back in 1907 about 14 miles SE of Macklin, Saskatchewan in a community called Grosswerder. In 1979 Pius and Theresa Schachatel were married and started a herd of dairy cattle which milked 50 cows up until they dispersed the herd in 2002, in addition they also grain farmed roughly 1000 acres at that time. Pius and Theresa have one son, Brennan who along with his wife Taryn and children Resch and Lyndi live north of Marshall; and two daughters, Melissa Graham who along with her husband Kirk and children Lincoln, Beckett, Adley, and Rowynn live east of Lone Rock, Saskatchewan where they have a farm consisting of purebred Shorthorn cattle and their youngest daughter is Tera who along with her husband Lee and children Luke, Lawson, Teddy, and Tess farm north of Cactus Lake where they have a mixed cattle and grain operation.
Eyehill Stock Farm was established in 1996 with the purchase of a package of replacement heifers from Flat Lake Red Angus. The Eye Hill name comes simply from the name of the RM where the Schachtel family grew up. In 1997 the first 4-H beef heifer was purchased and that continued on Page 10
