Imagine waking up in the morning and heading off to work, except instead of being greeted with array of co-workers with whom you have made only a general acquaintance, you are greeted by your family.
To some, being part of a family business could be a dream come true, to others the opposite. However, for the Templeton family of XTC Hereford Farms, running a family business could be considered the secret to their success.
Specializing in both cattle and pedigree seed production and sales, the Templetons were recently nominated for the BMO Farm Family Awards.
One family is nominated from one of 19 municipal districts and counties in southern Alberta and then brought to the Calgary Stampede for the awards ceremony.
