Owner Background - Kale Seguin
My journey into the world of agriculture has been a lifelong passion, driven by my dream of eventually owning a ranch. It all began when I was just 12 years old, when I started working at our family friends cattle farm. Spending considerable time at my grandparents' farm further nurtured my love for the animals and the way of life.
My agricultural journey continued through 9 years of active participation in 4-H beef. I was also fortunate enough to have a variety of farm animals throughout my childhood, including cows, chickens, horses, and goats. After completing high school in 2018, I decided to enroll in Lakeland College's Animal Science and Technology program. Over the course of two years, I gained valuable hands-on experience working with diverse livestock and honed practical skills in rangeland and animal management.
During my time at Lakeland College, I wrote a paper on bison farming, and it immediately captivated my interest. After attending my first Alberta Bison Association conference I knew rasing bison would become my life's passion. I soon purchased my first bison from a neighboring bison farm, where I am still growing my herd to this day.
Unfortunately, the truth about starting a farm is that it demands substantial upfront investments (over half a million dollars) and yields minimal returns. It soon became apparent to me that achieving my dream of farm ownership would require an additional source of income. So in 2020 I packed my things and headed off to Calgary to earn my Electrical Engineering Technology diploma at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology. I successfully completed the program and now work full-time as an Electrical Engineering Technologist, contributing to the development of Canada's electrical grid while also saving up money to one day buy land of my own!
I am extremely grateful that my passion allows me to provide a local premium protein source while simultaneously regenerating our soils and ensuring a high quality of life for our animals. At Brass Bison Meats, we are committed to upholding these principles and delivering ethically raised bison products, consistent with our motto: "Raised With Care, Enjoyed With Pride."
Why Bison?
Bison are the perfect land management tool because of the way they naturally move and graze as a herd. With the right agricultural practices bison can be used to regenerate soil and increase the amount of carbon being deposited into the ground! Not only are they amazing for the land but the meat tastes great and is very nutritious. Read our article to read more!
