The Harvie Ranching team is looking forward to the majors! We enjoy showing but also recognize the importance of judging shows as well. We want a fair evaluation of our cattle when we walk in the ring and if expecting so from others we want to do the same. We very much enjoy evaluating good cattle! Thank you to the Alberta Shorthorn Association for asking us to judge your show.
We are pleased to share our Farmfair International Shorthorn Show judges for 2026:
Cole, Jill along with their daughters Tinley & Lyla Harvie ranch near Olds, Alberta under the name Harvie Ranching. The ranch runs 300 purebred polled Herefords, Charolais and Commercial females.
Harvie Ranching sells over 60 bulls in their annual spring bull sale at the ranch. During the fall, the ranch hosts a successful online female and embryo sale with active bidders and buyers from around the globe. Harvie Ranching genetics have produced National Champions in England, Sweden, Ireland, South America, USA, and Australia. Along with many World and National breed champions over the years, Harvie Ranching successfully exhibits pens and Carloads of bulls at National Western Stock Show in Denver, USA.
Along with exhibiting cattle across North America, Jill and Cole enjoy judging cattle whether it be as a team or on their her own, some of the most notable recent show include:
