Gordon and Brenda Adams together with their two children Colin and Lacey manage G & B Farms, comprised of Black Angus cows, horses and chickens, and a land base of 2,720 acres spread between the Turtle Mountains, Whitewater Lake, Medora and Pipestone. At Pipestone there are 1,120 acres of native pasture, never broken, plus the farm has rented acres devoted to hay, alfalfa grass mix, and corn for silage.
The farm family’s conservation practices include rotational grazing and some pastures in twice-over rotation, plus they mob graze, giving their grass ample time for regrowth.

Manitoba’s Outstanding Young Farmers built success through diversification
Braden and Misty Drul of Oakburn, Man., earned Manitoba’s Outstanding Young Farmers 2026 award for building a multi-generational operation through diversification. With land prices rising, they launched an equipment assembly business and Pioneer seed dealership to create revenue streams that support two families.
The couple has participated in several TMCD programs including employing portable watering systems, abandoned well sealing and portable wind-break programs to keep cattle on the land year round.
With other partners, the Adams have also worked to protect 1,325 acres of upland and wetland habitat, and 60 acres of native grass to support species at risk.
The Adams are a very active rodeo family, with Gordon serving as a judge and Brenda as timekeeper. Lacey is involved with the Foothills Cowboys Association in Alberta and Colin competes professionally across Canada and the U.S.
