WHO WE ARE
Peter Haase
Peter Haase is co-owner and manager of Buffalo Horn Ranch. Peter was born in
High River, Alberta and raised in Calgary. Peter’s parent were farmers in
Germany before immigrating to Canada. His mother’s farm has been in the family
for about 900 years. Before meeting Judy and becoming involved in agriculture,
Peter worked as a professional photographer, writer and photography instructor.
He holds diplomas in Photography from NAIT in Edmonton and Canadian Studies from
Mount Royal College in Calgary. Peter continues to pursue his first passion in
photography along side his second passion, bison ranching. When time allows,
Peter loves to climb mountains in the Rockies, backcountry telemark ski and
pursue other outdoor activities. He is a former director for the Bison
Producers of Alberta, and currently sits on the National Marketing Committee of
the Canadian Bison Association. Peter is a strong advocate of environmentally
responsible and sustainable agriculture, environmental protection and
international human rights and development. Peter’s philosophy is that we must
enjoy everyday of our lives on this planet, but in doing so, we are responsible
to do so in a sustainable manner. We are part of nature and must work within
natures cycles rather than against them.

Judy Haase
 Judy Haase was born in Jamestown, North Dakota under the shadow of the worlds
biggest buffalo, a 60 foot tall statue above the town. After her parents moved
back to Canada they purchased a hobby farm at Eagle Hill and named it Buffalo
Horn Ranch for some of the buffalo horns they found on the land. Judy came to
love her weekends on the ranch and just over 20 years later convinced Peter to
join her in her quest to 'bring back the bison'. Judy taught Junior High
Physical Education for about 20 years in Calgary before retiring to the ranch.
Now in addition to ranching she still works as a substitute teacher several days
a week to make ends meet. When not ranching, selling meat or teaching, Judy
enjoys getting out to bike, hike and telemark ski. She loves having guests on
the farm as it gives her a rare opportunity to slow down a bit. But watch out ,
if you stay too long she'll put you to work.
