Thank you for taking time to visit us!

We are located at Sundre, Alberta-gateway to the west country. Our family run farming operation is nestled in the foothills of the majestic Canadian rocky mountains. We specialize in export timothy hay and high quality forage for the equine industry. We also raise purebred Simmental cattle and cowbred performance Quarter horses. Our focus at Nielsen Farms is to produce the highest quality product we can. Customer satisfaction is the heart of our business. We take a great deal of pride in what leaves our farm. 

Our cattle herd has evolved from a commercial operation to a purebred Simmental herd with a focus on red genetics. A small, yet powerful horse program contains some of the best bloodlines available. These include Doc's Hickory, Doc O Lena, Peptoboonsmal, Dual Banditos Gold and Whiz N Tag Chex.  Good minds and solid conformation remain top priorities.

Svend emigrated from Denmark in 1975. He farmed in the Cremona/Carstairs area and purchased our home place in 1980. From here we continue to operate an intensively managed farm using the latest technology and information tools available to the agriculture industry.

Agriculture has been our way of life for 30 years. We believe in the survival of the family farm. Optimism and a love for what we do will continue to guide us through some very challenging times in our agriculture industry.  Please browse our site. If we can be of assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to visiting with you - it's the best part of our business!

Nielsen Farms is excited about the new addition for breeding season. X-T Red Upstart 84U was purchased at Simmsational in Sask in December, 2009 from X-T Simmentals.

We unfortunately lost our NUG Red Dog son this summer due to injury. YR Red Bulldog formed the beginning of our red program and he is hard to replace. We are fortunate to have retained all his replacement females in our herd. Red Upstart brings some new TNT Top Gun genetics to our herd and we will be looking forward to his first calves.
