Grandview Cattle • Southern Alberta Livestock Feeders

Agriculture

John Vander Heyden Sr. bought the land for Grandview Riverside in 1962. Alongside the cattle and the business, John Sr. raised a young family, including his son, John Jr.
John Jr. grew up roaming his father’s farm. As a young boy, he spent his summers and weekends helping his father to complete the farm’s daily work.
In 1989, John Jr. returned from Old’s College with plans to expand his father’s farm. He purchased the Riverside Lot from his father and doubled its size. John Jr. built the Grandview South lot in 1993 and, four years later, expanded once again with the Grandview North lot.
Just like John Jr, the next generation of Vander Heyden children grew up helping on the farm, before graduating to take on greater roles.
