Kelly Sidoryk
Kelly Sidoryk ranches with her family west of Lloydminster, Alberta, Canada with an additional location near Debden, Sask. Over 30 years ago they were introduced to Holistic Resource Management (as it was known at the time), a decision making/planning process that focusses on finances, land and people. The process had a significant impact on their operation as it transitioned to be a forage based, livestock enterprise. They run a mix of cow-calf, yearling- both owned and custom enterprises.

In addition to running their family business, she has worked with many farm families as they work on transitioning to the next generation. She also teaches Holistic Management Whole/Farm Ranch Planning courses and is a certified educator with Holistic Management International(HMI) and sits on the HMI board.
