Dec 18, 2020

Rocky Mountain Dealerships Inc is one step closer to becoming a private company.

During a virtual meeting this week 72.3 per cent of shareholders voted in favour of the deal that would see it move to a numbered company.

The private company is controlled by Chairman Matthew Campbell and CEO Garrett Ganden and puts a value of $144 million dollars on the Rocky Mountain Dealerships.

Rocky Mountain Dealerships, a Calgary-based company, has 36 locations across Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan and is the largest farm equipment dealer in Canada.

The arrangement must still receive court approval before it can go ahead.

Video: Evolution of Beef Cattle Farming

The Clear Conversations podcast took to the road for a special episode recorded in Nashville during CattleCon, bringing listeners straight into the heart of the cattle industry. Host Tracy Sellers welcomed rancher Steve Wooten of Beatty Canyon Ranch in Colorado for a wide-ranging discussion that blended family history and sustainability, particularly as it relates to the future of beef production.

Sustainability emerged as a central theme of the conversation, a word that Wooten acknowledges can mean very different things depending on who you ask. For him, sustainability starts with the soil. Healthy soil produces healthy grass, which supports efficient cattle capable of producing year after year with minimal external inputs. It’s an approach that equally considers vegetation, animal efficiency, and long-term profitability.

That philosophy aligned naturally with Wooten’s involvement in the U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef, where he served as a representative for the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association. The roundtable brings together the entire beef supply chain—from producers to retailers—along with universities, NGOs, and allied industries. Its goal is not regulation, Wooten emphasized, but collaboration, shared learning, and continuous improvement.
