Armstong Ranch Through Predators Hard Times and Change
East and West Ranch in Cypress Hills Alberta traces a history from elk and wolves in the early 1900s to the 1947 takeover by S.F. Fawcett’s successor and the 1948 East and West Ranching Company. Ranching adapted through a brutal 1906 winter, roundups, mange dips, and later mechanization, with the Armstron gs now running about 400 cows and a Bassano operation.
