Even Ranchers Need A Holiday!

It can be tough leaving the ranch and all the livestock behind for any length of time, and tougher for us as we don't have any hired help to look after things while we are away. Luckily we have some fantastic neighbors who happily took over our chore duties.

At the end of January we ventured to Los Cabos in Mexico for a warm weather vacation, not that we needed a break from our above normal winter we have been having. Actually, the week before we left the temps dipped into the -30's plus windchill, so we were happy to see beaches and sunshine!

The famous arch at Cabo San Lucas. These rocks mark the tip of the Baja Peninsula and are where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific Ocean.

Scott and myself on the beach at Cabo San Lucas. This beach is only accessible by water, our boat driver dropped us off at the shore and we jumped off....thankfully he came and picked us up in an hour!

The Cabo Wabo Cantina owned by Sammy Hager formerly of Van Halen! A good place to sip a few Coronas on a hot day!

Our resort from the beach!

The only livestock we seen on the entire trip!

The view to the south of our resort on the beach.

It was great to go but it was also great to get back home to the ranch with a refreshed and relaxed mind and thankful of all the opportunities we have!

Who Are We?

Triple Play Cattle Company is owned and operated by Scott Eklund and myself (Kimberley) and young son Liam. We started the business together from scratch in 2002 with a herd of commercial cows that were AI'd to club calf bulls with the goal of raising good quality 4-H steers.

We started our purebred herd in 2003 with 4 outstanding bred heifers from the Six Mile Red Angus program and our herd has been built around the foundation of those females.

Scott and I both attended and graduated highschool in Glentworth which is still our hometown! Scott spent a while at the University of Regina studying engineering but decided raising cattle was where he should be.

Scott also works as a sales consultant for South Country Equipment and enjoys working with both farmers and ranchers in that aspect as well.

I hold the fort down when Scott is working which means I do most of the day to day operations around the ranch, which I love, but can also make things interesting! I also have a photography business, Dusty Road Photography, that I operate from home. I love all types of photography, including portraits, landscape, and livestock!

Liam was born in July 2009 (his due date was during the World Angus Forum!) and he keeps us busy! We are excited for him to grow up in this lifestyle and with Angus cattle.

I look forward to sharing the "happenings" at Triple Play through this blog and hope to meet and connect with fellow cattle breeders as well as to help bring awareness to our industry to those that don't live on farms or ranches.

Cheers!
