"Jondaryan" is the home property of Dwane and Jaime Morvik in the valley at the east end of the Cypress Hills near Eastend, Saskatchewan. Our ranch is located along the Frenchman River in the southwest corner of the province at the northern end of Outlaw Coulee. This international watershed drains into the Frenchman River down to the Milk River in Montana, onto the Missouri and eventually into the Mississippi and on to the Gulf of Mexico.

Our property was named after the old sheep station near Jondaryan, Queensland, Australia. Dwane worked on the nearby A.J.& J.E. Gentner property "Bonnieville", during an IAEA agriculture exchange in the early 80's. 2020 marked 35 years of sheep and beef production since we started ranching here in 1985. 2020 was our last year with sheep as we disbursed the last of our Targhee ewes to some nearby sheep producers. Grass production and sustainable animal production are the keys to regenerative agriculture, keeping soil and animals healthy and productive. We strive to produce maternal type cattle that do well on forages and low inputs.
