Generations of World-Leading Genetics
The Richardson family have been producing beef on Haida Gwaii, formerly the Queen Charlotte Islands, since 1919.
The Tlell Polled Hereford herd was founded in 1981
and has evolved into one of British Columbia's most prominent Polled Hereford herds
Registered Hereford bulls were sold to the commercial cattlemen at the Annual Vanderhoof All Breeds Bull Sale every year since 1986 and at the William’s Lake Bull Sale beginning in 2000. In 2022 we consolidated our bull sales online using the DLMS Farmgate platform
with sales held in early March each year.
In September of 2010 we hosted our first Online Sale to sell our Registered Polled Hereford females and elite Hereford bulls to fellow Hereford Breeders. September 2024 saw our 15th Annual Richardson Ranch Online Sale. Tlell genetics have sold to customers across Canada and overseas to Great Britain, Ireland, Denmark, Holland, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Australia, New Zealand, Czech Republic, Chile, Argentina and Uruguay as well as USA and Mexico
