Hi, and welcome to Spruce Acres Red and Black Angus. Spruce Acres originated in 1994 with the purchase of 2 purebred Red Angus cows, a few open heifers and 6 Hereford heifers by Ross, Joan and Shane Dublanica. Our family also consists of two daughters, Tina and Tricia, who pursued professional careers.
The herd has grown to about 300 breeding cows with mostly purebred Red and Black Angus cows, plus a few commercials. We expanded strictly into Angus because of the excellent maternal and mothering ability of the Angus cow. We purchased Angus heifers from astute purebred breeders and a few select purebred sales. They were bred to easy calving Angus bulls and culled heavily.
An extensive A.I. program of selecting easy calving bulls for heifers and performance bulls for cows was started a few years ago. In 2001 we purchased Red Brylor Gold 55H, an A.I. performance sire that puts power, depth, plus extreme length into his offspring. In 2003 the most magnificent Red Angus bull was purchased with full possession and 1/2 interest of Stallion 19J, the 2001 CAA Gold Show Bull. Then in 2004, Spruce Acres won the Regina Bull Sale Reserve Grand Champion with a bull sired by our herd sire TK King Colton (King Rob).
This year we are again offering our bulls for sale by private treaty on the farm, 4 miles north (310 Highway) and 1 1/2 miles east (Bertdale Road) of Foam Lake. See our For Sale page for more information.
