Welcome to Pretty View Stock Farm, home of the Olynyk Family - Ivan & Phyllis, Nick and Roxanne. In 1980, we established our farm on a 90 acre stubble field with no yard or buildings. We started by growing alfalfa seed and raising leafcutter bees, as well as grains and oilseeds.
In 1993, things started to change with the first cows arriving. In 1994, we added 35 Red Angus cows purchased from the well known Six Mile Red Angus Ranch. Having grown up with Black Angus and coming from an Angus family background that now spans 50 years, we couldn't help ourselves and started a Black Angus herd with cows from the Crescent Creek Angus herd.
In 1998, the major event at Pretty View became our Annual Bull and Female Sale, held the 1st Sunday in April each year on the farm. It has been an annual event ever since.
On June 30, 2009, we sold the farm and cattle to Jeff and Cindy Sznerch, a young couple from Alberta. They will carry on the Pretty View herd as we did while also running a large commercial Angus herd.
In the transition, we have retained our two-year-old bulls. Our final sale will be held in conjunction with Jeff and Cindy’s 1st annual sale, Friday, April 2, 2010 at the farm now known as Phantom Farms.
As for us, we will still be seed dealers for Northstar Seeds and are starting new ventures.
We are moving to a new location in the spring of 2010. From the old farm it is 2 miles south on #9 highway, and a ½ mile west. We have already begun to establish the new site.
