Duncan McNab McEachran's early history and involvement in the formation of the Montreal Veterinary College as well as in livestock inspection were reviewed. His contribution to the beginning of the ranching industry in western Canada was explored in detail. In 1881, McEachran helped to establish the Cochrane Ranche, which was the first great ranch to be started in southern Alberta. He was employed as the ranch's resident general manager until 1883, in which year the Waldrond Ranch was established. McEachran was this ranch's president and general manager until approximately 1909. During this time, he came under considerable criticism from both The MacLeod Gazette and The Calgary Herald. As Dr. McEachran maintained his obligations to the ranches while he was directing the veterinary college in Montreal as well as chief inspector of livestock for Canada, it was concluded that this feat alone would rank him as a remarkable historical figure.
邓肯·麦克纳布·麦克兰的早期经历以及他在蒙特利尔兽医学院的创建和牲畜检验工作中的参与情况得到了回顾。详细探讨了他对加拿大西部畜牧业起步的贡献。1881年，麦克兰协助建立了科克伦牧场，这是在艾伯塔省南部开办的第一个大型牧场。直到1883年，他一直担任该牧场的常驻总经理，就在这一年，瓦尔登德牧场成立了。麦克兰担任这个牧场的董事长兼总经理直至1909年左右。在此期间，他受到了《麦克劳德公报》和《卡尔加里先驱报》的诸多批评。鉴于麦克兰博士在担任蒙特利尔兽医学院院长以及加拿大牲畜总检查员的同时，还履行着对各牧场的职责，得出的结论是，仅这一功绩就足以使他成为一位杰出的历史人物。
