Jack Anderson and his daughter Wynne Chisholm have donated their W.A. Ranches and about 1,000 cattle to the University of Calgary’s school of veterinary medicine.
The university says the ranch, west of Calgary at Cochrane, will help transform it into an international leader in veterinary health, education and research.
Chisholm says her family hopes the donation will lead to improvements in animal care and welfare.
"We are gifting the assets of our ranch to the University of Calgary to create a world leading centre of excellence in beef cattle research," she said.
