Gold Rush, however, began in 1858, and while it lasted less then a decade, it opened the doors
for the cattlemen. | ||

This video explores both the present and the history of the ranching industry in BC by featuring some of the Cariboo Chilcotin's oldest ranches. As we guide you through the yearly cycle of the ranching business, you'll see that day in and day out, ranchers are truly living with the land. "We are really borrowing from the next generation. We have the responsibility to keep the land in a good state, or if we can, improve the state it's in now." Felix Schellenberg, Rafter 25 Ranch Ranching Video on sale now at the Museum or by Email! Now available in the international PAL format. | |
