See Through Ag

Hi, my name is Jessica Davey. I am a young beef producer, and first year Animal Science degree student at the University of Saskatchewan. I am living in Saskatoon while attending school, and I was raised in the Rural Municipality of Montrose No. 315 in Saskatchewan, Canada where our family beef operation is located. I am a partial owner and operator of Rivendale Cattle Company with my parents Gord and Dawn, and my brothers Conner, and Morgan Davey. I also operate my own business Jessica Davey Photography, offering lifestyle, farming, ranching, and livestock photography. I am involved in many youth agricultural organizations across Saskatchewan, and Canada such as 4-H, the Junior Angus Association, and the Junior Shorthorn Association.

Rivendale Cattle Company was established in 2014 and is growing to this day. Our family runs a split purebred, and commercial beef cattle herd of 60 Black Angus, and Shorthorn cows. On our family farm we also raise, market, and sell beef to local customers in the Saskatoon area. Throughout the year we market both purebred and commercial beef cattle through private treaty, online, and live cattle sales. In the Fall we retain heifer calves (purebred and commercial), and top of the range bull calves (purebred), and then we market the steer calves (commercial) to auction. In the Winter we market bred heifers to purebred consignment sales. In the Spring we market yearling bulls, two-year old bulls, and yearling heifers. Our 1^st Annual Bull and Female Sale was in the Spring of 2021, and we will be holding an annual sale every year. 

I am pursuing a post secondary education at the University of Saskatchewan, College of Agriculture and Bioresources. I am studying for a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture, majoring in the Animal Science program. I plan to do a double minor, minoring in Rangeland Resources, and Agribusiness. I plan to be a progressive livestock producer with a split purebred, and commercial beef cattle herd, while operating my photography business, Jessica Davey Photography, and I have built this blog as I hope to connect producers with consumers and build transparency with “See Through Ag.”

Jessica Davey Photography was established in 2019 in lifestyle photography and has grown through the incorporation of my photography on our family’s beef cattle operation to offering farming, ranching, and livestock photography. I hope to use photography to capture images of agriculture from farming, and ranching families to the crops, and livestock they produce, and how that food is produced by families to feed the world. I plan to share my photography, videography for all to see the ever-growing story of agriculture.

I am involved in youth agricultural organizations, in which; I have been a member of 4-H for ten years, the Canadian, Saskatchewan Junior Angus Association for six years, and the Canadian, Saskatchewan Junior shorthorn Association for two years. Involvement in these organizations has built a passion for agriculture in my life. I have networked, and met so many people from both rural, and urban backgrounds, made connections, gained knowledge, and have learned new skills.

The beef industry is my passion. Agriculture feeds the world and without it there would be no world. It is my goal to build transparency in agriculture to share my culture, the story of our culture.
