Do It Again Ranch Adventures

6 sites · RVs, Tents160 acres · Lloydminster, SK

Do It Again Ranch Adventures is a 160 acres property on the Canadian prairies. We are surrounded by grain farming activity, although this is significant cattle country also. Our property is divided roughly in thirds - 1/3 pasture for the livestock, 1/3 trees and bush, and 1/3 hayfield. There is a waterway that runs though our property creating many ponds or sloughs. None of these are big enough for canoeing but do attract wildlife and birds. We are offering sleigh and wagon rides on the farm land. We have horses, goats and a milk cow for livestock. We encourage people to interact with the livestock if they wish. The city of Lloydminster is only 12 minutes away. It has a population of 21, 000 with all the amenities and attractions of a small city. One of its distinctions is being a city that straddles both the Saskatchewan and Alberta provincial borders.

Brooksdale Valley Ranch was formally Valley Glen Farm founded and settled by my great grandfather William Trevor Burroughs in 1930. He was the first in the community to raise purebred Yorkshire pigs he had shipped over from England. My Grand Father was the first in the community to grow Canola formally called Rapeseed. My Father was raised here but with this quarter was deemed no water to be found my Farther had purchased another farm 7 miles east where I was raised. I always has a love for this place and had it in my mind to make this my home every since I was a little boy. You will also find historical country school on this quarter it was restored 30yrs ago.
