The Question Of Access And Farmland

Access is an important consideration when buying or selling farmland. As part of the due diligence when investigating access, it is necessary to consider:

1. Physical or Actual access: Is there an actual road (whether an all-weather or summer dirt road) to the land in question, allowing unrestricted access to the land itself?

2. Legal access: If there is a road, is it on an existing public road allowance ensuring continued access?

While it may seem like a given, there are quarters that lack both physical and legal access, often meaning the value of the land is greatly diminished; unless, perhaps, your buyer has a helicopter and doesn’t mind flying in. That said, in very exceptional cases, a buyer may prefer the lack of legal and physical access, for example, where the quarter is recreational and accessed by river.

Given the Alberta Torrens system, with northsouth road allowances every mile and east-west road allowance every two miles (for the most part sixty-six feet in width), most quarters have guaranteed legal access. Legal access, however, does not mean there is a developed road allowance. Contrary to coffee shop talk, an owner generally cannot force the municipality to develop an undeveloped road allowance. In some instances, the road allowance may not even be developable due to features such as a deep ravine. If it can be developed and an owner wishes to do so, as a general rule, the municipality will require it to be

built to government specifications, which may well exceed a couple of hundred thousand dollars per half mile, depending on the terrain, with the cost borne by the owner.

The question of access may also arise where one parcel is landlocked. For example, Farmer A owns a quarter that has no direct access, and the neighbouring quarter is owned by a landlord who rents it to Farmer B. In most leases, a tenant has the right to “exclusive possession” of the leased land for the term of the lease. As a result, even if the landlord previously granted Farmer A permission to cross that land for access, that permission does not automatically continue once the land is leased, unless there is an agreement allowing for access or an easement has been registered on title. Farmer A would typically need the tenant’s consent to cross the land.

In some cases, owners have actual physical access, but no legal access. This often occurs where a farmer has been accessing their land for years using an oilfield road on a neighbour’s land. Although no one has objected in the past, the road could be gated or, in some cases, put to bed when the well is abandoned, eliminating access altogether. Well site roads are placed on private land and although often treated as available for public use, when the rubber hits the road, the public is not entitled as of right to use a private oilfield road in the same way they can use a public road allowance. Without both legal and physical access, the value of your land will be negatively

affected. If you are thinking of selling, it is always wise to make sure each parcel has both: actual physical access as well as legal access.

If you own two quarters located kitty-corner to each other in a section and the other two quarters are owned by different parties, you cannot legally cross with equipment from one quarter to the other at the centre of the section where the quarters intersect on the diagonal, as you would be trespassing on the other two quarters. In fact, if the other two quarters were fenced, you could not even walk across at that point. Limited access means limited buyers. The result is that, instead of selling quarters individually, you need to sell them as half-sections or even sections to guarantee unrestricted access and achieve proper value.

Access considerations should be addressed well in advance of any sale. In some cases, there may be legal access to a quarter via an undeveloped road allowance that has never been used and cannot realistically be developed. An undeveloped road allowance is not your land and cannot be brushed or mulched without permission from the municipality. Historically, access may have been through another quarter rather than a road allowance to reach the quarter in question. If you try to sell such a quarter without addressing access issues, the only logical buyer may be the owner of the quarter you must cross to gain access. In effect, you may have only one buyer, which will drastically affect the final sale price. NH

Second-Place entry submitted by Reata Conrad, age 13, of the Beaverlodge 4-H Beef Club

My steer Conway is considered a home-raised steer because he was born and raised right on our family ranch. Conway was born on April 30th at Saddle Hills Cattle Co , the ranch where I live. This ranch was established in 1978, and my family has been raising cattle here for generations. I am a 4th generation rancher and the 3rd generation on this ranch, so raising animals like Conway is a big part of my life.

Conway’s mom, 8130, is an 8-year-old cow who was also raised on our ranch. Conway is her 6th calf, and he is her second steer to be shown in 4-H. His dad was a Red Angus bull from our herd. Because both his mom and dad are part of our cattle program, and he was born and raised here, that makes him a true home-raised steer.

One of the things that makes Conway special to me is that I got to watch him from the very beginning. I saw him shortly after he was born and watched him grow until weaning. He was one of the biggest steers at weaning, and I got to pick him out from around 200 other steers. That made me feel proud because I knew I was choosing one that I had seen grow up on our ranch.

Conway is also the 386th calf born on our ranch in 2025, which shows how long and hard my family has worked to build our herd. Being able to raise and show a steer that comes from our own cattle makes the experience more meaningful than buying one from somewhere else.

Raising a home-raised steer like Conway means I know his history, how he was raised, and the work that went into him long before I started showing him. It also means I take pride in continuing my family’s ranching tradition.

Northern Horizon Note: Reata’s entry was one of many received by the Beaverlodge 4-H Beef Club when they asked their members who raised home-raised steers for the projects this year this question, “What makes a home-raised steer?”

“Why

my steer is Home raised”

Fourth-Place entry submitted by Blakely Hodges, age 13, of the Beaverlodge 4-H Beef Club

My name is Blakely Hodges and I live on a big cattle and grain farm. I am a fifth generation farmer with my dad being the fourth. My steers name is buddy. He was born on February 17, 2025. I put my cow Ella into the barn every night for 2 weeks because I wanted to be sure she would calve in the barn where it was warm. Sure enough, she did. She had her calf in the barn without any help. Buddy was a smart calf too and got right up and sucked.

Why I think Buddy is home raised is because I was there the day it was born, and he is also from my own herd and not my Dads or Grandpas. Budy is from my cow-calf pair that I had in 4-H last year. As soon as he was born and I found out he was a steer calf I knew that’s who I wanted to take in 4-H. I have been there since the day he was born and I watched him go from a little calf to a big fat steer.

That is why Buddy is home raised.

“Griffin’s

Home-Raised Steer”

Third-Place entry submitted by Griffin Hawryluk, age 10, of the Beaverlodge 4-H Beef

My 4H Steer is named Bo. He was born on April 21, 2025 on my family’s farm. There’s a funny backstory about why I picked him. When Bo was 2 hours old, he escaped the calving ground. My mom found him curled up behind the chicken coop in the morning. I got to pet him and sit with him while my parents tracked down his mother.

Bo’s dam was a cow, J1. J1 was born at my grandparents’ farm and was owned by John and Janys Boyte. J1 is a red angus and simmental cross. Bo’s sire was a red angus bull called Redeem. So Bo is mostly Red Angus with a bit of Simmental.

Bo now lives in a big pen with 14 heifers. I move him into an enclosed pen when he eats so that the heifers don’t steal his grain.

When Bo bloated the first time, his girlfriend was right near him. Bo’s girlfriend’s tag number is N1. She is the heifer of my dad’s favourite cow, B22.

I’m so happy that I get to raise Bo at home with my family’s herd.

“What Is A Home-Raised Steer”

First-Place entry submitted by Kara Carmucheal, age 14, of the Beaverlodge 4-H Beef Club

A home-raised steer is more than just where an animal is born—it reflects the care, time, and connection built from the very beginning. My steer, Whiskey, is truly home raised in every sense of the word. He was born last year to my 4-H cow, Barbie, right on our farm. I was there the day he was born, and from that moment on, I’ve been part of every step of his life. Watching him grow from a newborn calf into the steer he is today has been an experience I won’t forget.

From early on, Whiskey showed his personality. He has always loved attention, especially being scratched. Even during the summer, when he was out on pasture, he would be the first one to come running over for a scratch. That kind of trust and bond doesn’t happen by accident—it comes from spending time together every day and raising him with care.

I halter broke Whiskey for Achievement Day last year and had the chance to show him alongside his mom. That experience meant so much to me, especially when we were awarded Reserve Champion as a pair. It showed the hard work put into both Whiskey and Barbie, who was only two years old when she had him. Now she is three, and this year I will be showing her again, along with Whiskey’s sister, continuing the cycle of animals raised and cared for at home.

Whiskey’s background makes him even more special. His sire, 6K, was also home raised on my grandparents’ farm. That means Whiskey comes from generations of cattle raised within our family, making him truly a 4-H baby—born to a 4-H heifer that was shown and cared for the same way.

This year’s Achievement Day will be a difficult one for me and my family. But when I look at Whiskey and everything he represents—the hard work, the memories, and the generations behind him - I am reminded of what it truly means to have a home-raised steer.

Eight Key Grazing Management Facts To Consider As You Plan For The Upcoming Season

This article is reprinted with permission of the Beef Cattle Research Council and taken from their website, www.BeefResearch.ca

ffective grazing management is one of the most powerful tools beef producers can use to enhance cattle performance, improve pasture productivity and support the long-term sustainability of your pastures and your operation. Whether you are refining an existing grazing plan or building one from the ground up, these grazing management facts can help you get the most out of every acre.

1. BALANCE FORAGE SUPPLY AND DEMAND

Matching animal numbers to forage availability prevents overgrazing and maintains pasture longevity. A commonly used guideline is the “take half, leave half” principle, suggesting that roughly 50% of total forage biomass should remain after grazing. This helps maintain stand vigour and ensures there is enough leaf left for plants to regrow. However, this may not apply to all regions.

2. PROVIDE REST DURING THE GROWING SEASON

Plants need time to recover, especially after grazing events. Rest allows root systems to rebuild and strengthens plants so they can withstand grazing pressure throughout the season. Without sufficient recovery time, productivity declines, even if grazing seems moderate in the short term. Rotational grazing systems support this principle by dividing land into multiple paddocks and rotating cattle through, allowing plants time to regrow between grazing cycles.

3. DEFER GRAZING DURING SENSITIVE PERIODS

Certain periods in the plant growth cycle are more sensitive than others. Grazing too early in the spring, or at key reproductive stages, can significantly reduce vigour. Delaying grazing during these critical phases ensures plants build energy reserves and maintain long-term resilience.

4. MANAGE FOR UNIFORM LIVESTOCK DISTRIBUTION

Cattle naturally tend to overuse areas close to water or shade unless encouraged to spread out. Uniform grazing helps maintain consistent forage health across a paddock and reduces patch overuse. It is recommended to place salt and mineral blocks away from water sources, which encourages cattle to graze less used areas and improves distribution. Ideally, water sources should be available within 600–800 feet of all areas of a paddock to support uniform grazing patterns.

5. CHOOSE THE GRAZING SYSTEM THAT FITS YOUR OPERATION

Grazing systems commonly used in Canada include continuous grazing and rotational grazing. Selecting the right system depends on your resources, goals and the specific landscapes you manage.

Continuous Grazing

• Cattle graze one paddock all season

• Minimal cost and management

• Reduced pasture productivity due to lack of rest and recovery

Rotational Grazing

• Two or more paddocks grazed in sequence

• Supports plant recovery and boosts productivity

• Can lengthen the grazing season

• Requires more planning, fencing and water distribution efforts

6. MONITOR WATER QUALITY AND SUPPLY

Clean, reliable water is essential. Poor water quality can lead to severe health challenges or even mortality. Research has shown that calves with access to pumped water may gain 16–18 lbs more during the grazing season compared to calves drinking directly from a dugout.1 Regular water testing is important as quality can shift significantly during the summer months.

7. CONSIDER GRAZING LEGUMES

Legumes such as alfalfa and clover can significantly boost forage quality, but some bring a risk of bloat. Newer varieties of bloat safe legumes, such as sainfoin, have improved in persistence and yield. When 15% or more sainfoin is included in a stand with alfalfa, bloat risk is reduced while maintaining nutritional benefits.

8. EVALUATE CARRYING CAPACITY REGULARLY

Carrying capacity, also known as grazing capacity, is the amount of forage available for grazing animals in a specific pasture or field. The BCRC’s Carrying Capacity Calculator allows you to determine the carrying capacity of pastures based on two methods: 1) estimates based on provincial guides and 2) field-based sampling.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOUR GRAZING PLAN

Grazing management is both an art and a science. While the fundamentals remain consistent, each operation is unique based on climate, soil type, forage species, herd size and production goals. By understanding and applying these core management facts, you can increase pasture resilience, improve herd performance and build a more sustainable grazing system for the long term. NH

Northern Lights College Rodeo Team Crowned 2025–26 Canadian College Rodeo Varsity Team Champions

NLC athletes also added three individual national titles, three Reserve Champion honours, and the CCRA Cowboy of the year award at the Canadian College Finals Rodeo in Rimbey, Alberta

The Northern Lights College (NLC) Rodeo Team earned the 2025-26 Canadian College Rodeo Association (CCRA) Varsity Team Championship, capping a successful season with a strong performance at the Canadian College Finals Rodeo held May 1–3, 2026, in Rimbey, Alberta.

Competing across Saskatchewan, Alberta, and BC throughout the season, the NLC rodeo team led the Varsity Team standings in seven of nine regular season rodeos and competed against six other CCRA member teams to secure the national banner.

Three NLC athletes claimed Canadian College Finals Rodeo championship titles on the weekend:

• Ben Coombes — Bareback Riding Champion

• Landon Dowling — Steer Wrestling Champion

• Nate Siemens — Tie-Down Roping Champion and High Point Cowboy of Finals

NLC athletes also won Reserve Champion honours across multiple events:

• Dain Ross — Reserve Champion, Steer Wrestling; Reserve High Point Cowboy of Finals

• Rylie Bondaroff — Reserve Champion, Breakaway Roping; Reserve High Point Cowgirl of Finals

• Jordyn Farmer — Reserve Champion, Pole Bending

Ryan Collett was recognized with the CCRA Cowboy of the Year award. This prestigious honour is voted on by CCRA membership that recognizes sportsmanship, character, and

excellence both in competition and within the rodeo community.

“This team had depth, grit, and determination,” said Leanne Esau, NLC Rodeo Manager. “They successfully managed their college courses while putting in the time and effort during weekly coached practices for their rodeo events. The results of this

played out in arenas across Saskatchewan, Alberta, and at our own college rodeo here in BC. It is a huge honour to bring this 2025–26 Varsity Banner back to the Peace Country, as it represents the quality and excellence that we are aiming to build into this rodeo program under Athletics at Northern Lights College."
