Our Home
The Family Farm
Founded in 1911 along the Battle River in the Municipal District of Wainwright Alberta, by the Canadian pioneers of the Swanson family. For over 110 years we have made a living off the land and our own beef. Due to market changes we are happy to say that we can now offer our refined high quality time tested beef direct to you.
pure natural resources
Native Grasslands
Our cattle access Native Grasslands that have not been tilled or planted with modern regenerative plant mixes. 100% natural forage in areas untouched by large commercial farming. Our feeding program takes all the best practices from the history of ranching, preserving the land for generations to come.

Total Feed Control
We grow all the feed our cattle consume. From pasture management to our winter feed program. Many ranches buy feed from outside their control. With 1911 Ranch you access quality beyond the norm with a promise few can keep.
Purebred Limousin Cattle
The earliest evidence of Limousin cattle dates back to cave drawings estimated to be 20,000 years old in the Lascaux Cave near Montignac, France. Limousin first arrived in Canada in 1968 after ranchers reported finding large golden-red cattle, while travelling Europe. The Limousin breed was flourishing without confinement during winters in northern France, making them an optimum choice for the people of Canada. In 1969, retired Air Force Colonel E.J. Geesen started the first U.S. Limousin cross at his ranch east of Denver, Colorado utilizing a bull in Canada to supplement his Angus herd. 1911 Ranch brings the rich Canadian history of premium beef in North America to your families table.
