The OH Ranch is one of the oldest continual working cattle ranches in Alberta and it is located along the foothills of the Rockies with the Highwood River bordering it. Previous visitors have stated that they went away with a much better understanding of cattle production, safe livestock handling practices and also, with a sense of pride regarding their agricultural neighbors. Ken & Deb Pigeon have managed the OH Ranch since 2012, when the ranch was donated to the Calgary Stampede from philanthropist and rancher, Bill Siebens. Their background is diverse and interesting which includes the management of The Bar U Ranch National Historic Site and the Ya Ha Tinda Ranch, both of which are owned by Parks Canada.
