Growing up on the edge of Winnipeg, Ray Douglas was unaware of agriculture until as a young man he began working on his uncle’s hobby farm where he grew to love the lifestyle and the livestock specifically. Ray always loved working with chickens however his true calling was in beef. It wasn’t until he finished his schooling in Ontario that Ray was able to start his own farm and finally begin raising cattle. With a growing family and farm Ray wanted to share his experience with others in need. Ray joined SmallFarmCanada in 2020 to give his unique perspective and voice to the publication.
