Taylormade Pet Care is owned and operated by Tamara
Taylor. Tamara has loved all animals since childhood.
Growing up on a central Alberta beef ranch meant daily
adventures with cows, horses, dogs, cats, pheasants and of
course, her pygmy goats. Tamara decided to pursue a
career that would ensure that she would be able to enjoy the
company of animals every day. Tamara holds a Bachelor of
Science in Agriculture from the University of Saskatchewan
majoring in Animal Science.

| Our Brightest Blessing |
Our son, William, was born October 4, 2005. He brings us joy
each and every day. We can't imagine life without him! My
new full time job is "Mom". My boss is rather demanding, the
hours are sometimes quite long, but the "pay" and benefits are
priceless!

Welcome to Alberta where it can go from sunny to snowy in a
matter of minutes!! These pictures were taken within a few
hours on an April afternoon. The cattle in these pictures are
Beefbooster (commercial crossbred) cows and their calves.
My family has been raising them for over 10 years.
