John and Bill Bocock are the 2016 recipients of the Alberta Milk’s Dairy Industry Achievement Award.
The brothers are trendsetters whose dairy careers have spanned decades, and among their contributions to the industry is a donation of 777 acres to the University of Alberta to create the St. Albert Research Station. The station is used to study topics such as greenhouse gas emissions, water management, soil erosion, and sustainable crop development.
The brothers, who sold their dairy cows several years ago, were also on the cutting edge when it came to animal welfare, environmental practices, and breeding.
