Expansive city-side ranch up for sale days after death of owner Stan Grad yyc
He worked with expert advisers on the ownership transition over several months before his death on July 29. The ranch was something of a prized possession for the 78-year-old.
“Stan pulled aside, said to this gentleman who was having a car break down, ‘What can I do to help?’ and immediately went to work to help this guy. Well, it turned out that this chap was Mr. Walker,” said Felesky. “Over the course of Stan’s help and the drive to wherever the hell they had to go, there was chemistry and a connection that lasted a lifetime.
Those are just a handful of the examples of Grad’s “bigger than life” generosity, said Felesky. But he noted none of Grad’s most significant accomplishments bear his name, with the humble man accepting few accolades for his essential work. The ranch handles up to 350 calf/cow pairs annually and sells about 500 purebred bulls each year to buyers across the continent at an annual auction. It produces about 10,000 tons of silage yearly, with roughly 5,000 acres growing grains — mostly barley, canola and wheat.Article content
