Black Angus have been the foundation of the Spady cattle program for over 70 years. In 1937, Jack Spady, my grandfather purchased two purebred Angus cows and a bull from a drover passing through. He paid three and a half cents a pound for the bull who weighed 2,400 pounds and two cents for the cows which weighed 1,400 and 1,600 pounds. A lot of water has passed under the bridge since then. Over the past years we have watched Angus cattle come into their own.

Tom Spady, my father, started the Rivercrest registered Black Angus herd in 1955 from the Valleymere seed stock. Rivercrest Angus genetics have provided seed stock to Scotland, Mexico, Russia and the USA, plus herd bulls to many top Canadian herds, both purebred and commercial. Dad gave me my first Rivercrest cow when I was 10 and I haven't looked back since. Dad and I continue to raise quality Black Angus cattle under traditional ranch conditions to this day.

The two ranches are located in east-central Alberta along the Battle River. Please feel welcome to visit us anytime.

Tom & Marg's ranch home is in the heart of the Battle River Valley.
