Cole Barten grew up on a cow-calf operation outside of Lillooet, B.C., where they raised and butchered Black and Red Angus cattle on the VBP+ certified Bar Ten Ranch. Cole moved to southern Alberta and currently lives and works on the Salt Ranch, south of Cardston, with his family. He is passionate about the cattle industry, specifically areas surrounding environment and research.
Cole thinks it’s important for the younger generation to have a seat at the table for these conversations, and looks forward to providing different perspectives and ideas, while also learning from previous generations.
