As for a bit of history: The Holmquists moved to the Kinistino area with the emigration of Olaf and Johanna Holmquist from northern Sweden in 1929. Grandpa came first and decided to send for Grandma and the 5 kids. Can you imagine 3 weeks on a ship with 5 small children and packing your own food for that long of a trip and only speaking Swedish. Grandma was quite a woman. The Nelson side of our fa

mily arrived in the Kinistino area from Sweden in 1905. Bruce’s father Ernest was the first in the Holmquist family born in Canada. In 1961 Ernest and Joan (Nelson) were married and moved south to the Pahonan Creek where Spruce Grove Cattle Co. While involved with commercial cattle from the 30’s we have gained experience using Hereford, Shorthorn, and Charolais bulls. After seeing the positive results using Simmental bulls, Spruce Grove Simmentals was established in 1977 with registered Simmental cattle. In 1991 Red Angus were added and the name was changed to Spruce Grove Cattle Company.
