Sturgeon River Purebreds

The Face Behind the Cows

Hello and welcome, my name is Sarah Bowman, and I am the owner of Sturgeon River Purebreds. When I am not showing cattle or farming alongside my parents, you can find me on horseback, studying, or behind a camera. I'm newer to the photography business, but I have photographed cattle for Skyline Simmentals, Sky Virtue Ranch Inc., Sturgeon River Stock Farm, and picturing my own cattle. Feel free to contact me if you'd like to book me or see references! Along with cows, I own chickens and ducks. For more information, click here. I have also been an active 4-H member for 12 years now. I have held the beef council representative, vice president, treasurer, photographer, assistant treasurer, and beef district secretary. 4-H is a HUGE part of my life, and I wouldn't be who I am today without this amazing program. To help further develop my cow/calf knowledge, I am a certified Cow/Calf Technician through the Green Certificate Program, I have worked as a Work Experience Student at the Onoway Vet Clinic and worked part-time at the Perlich Bros Auction Mart just outside of Lethbridge for Fall 2022, and my summer job for 2023 - 2025 was working at Woodland Farms. In February 2021, I took my AI course at Lakeland College. I graduated from high school in 2022 and am currently attending the University of Lethbridge in the Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Studies program. I would like to pursue a career as a Beef Nutritionist. During the summer, I also show at various local cattle shows. This industry has its ups and downs, but it is an industry that I don't ever want to leave!
