TABER, Alta.
—The legendary bucking horse and rodeo bull bloodlines built by the Kesler family will build on their legacy under new Southern Alberta management.
Following in his own father’s footsteps, the late Greg Kesler had built on the family’s rodeo stock of horses and bulls and made Kesler a household name for rodeo competitors and fans alike. For more than 70 years, the Kesler family’s animals have been in action at Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association (PRCA) and Canadian Professional Rodeo Association (CPRA) rodeos in Canada and the United States.
After Kesler’s death in 2016, and his wife Judy’s passing in March 2020, Taber’s own, Rowland “Roy” Brewin – the founder of Rowland Seeds who is a third-generation farmer of family-run Rowland Farms –purchased the legendary rodeo stock. Operated by nearly 100 employees, Rowland Farms is Western Canada’s largest producer of a diversified line of crops.
