Welcome to Blair Athol Site!
Established in 1882, our ranch has stood the test of time. We are located on the original homestead 4 miles west and 3 miles north of Arcola. Blair Athol has always been a mixed cattle and grain farm but in the mid 1990's we shifted production to solely raising Hereford cattle. 2025 marks our 115th consecutive year of registering purebred Hereford cattle. Our ranch is now in its sixth generation of Lees and the future looks bright for generations to come.
Premier Sales and Quality Breeding
We breed approximately 250 cows per year both polled and horned. Our annual female sale is one of the highlights of the fall sale run in Canada. Many great bulls and females have sold in the Blair-Athol Haroldson's and Friends Production Sale. Thank you to everyone that joined us at our 21st Annual Wilson/Lees Bull Sale on April 4, 2025! We'd also like for you to plan to be with us for our Blair-Athol/Haroldson's and Friends Sale on October 18, 2025, and our 22nd Annual Wilson/Lees Bull Sale on April 2026!
Hereford Breeding Excellence
We live and breathe Hereford and are proud to have been recognized as the 2009 Canadian Western Agribition Premier Breeder at the National Hereford Show. Additionally, we were honored as the 2023 Edmonton International Farm Fair Premier Breeder. Visitors are always welcome at Blair Athol at the base of the scenic Moose Mountains. Plan to visit anytime.
