LEA Broderick is our herd bull.

We Tired Acres is located in the hills of central Wisconsin 10 miles south of Tomah where the 90 – 94 interstate highways divide. Ken retired in 2000 and people kept asking us how we liked retirement and our answer was “ Retired heck we are just tired”. Hence the new farm name of We Tired Acres. We chose and relocated to this area in 2001 because it is half way between our two children and their families. We built our dream home, a log house, in these hills that are perfect for raising Scottish Highland cattle. Ken had always wanted this breed and we actively started looking in the fall of 2002 and purchased a herd of “older cows” and a bull in February of 2003. The cows started having calves in March and we were in the Highland business. Since then our herd has grown to approximately 25 head. We have between 5 – 10 calves a year. We started attending the Highland shows in Wisconsin and Minnesota the same year we bought the herd. People suggested that we go to the shows to compare our animals to the show animals. In 2005 we took the leap and with the help of another breeder showed a bull we raised. He was a yearling and with beginners luck he placed Reserve Champion Bull at the Minnesota show and was Grand Champion at the Wisconsin show. We took him to the National Western Stock Show held in Denver , Colorado and he was Reserve Champion Junior Yearling bull. He was sold to Cobblestone Farms where he will continue his show and breeding career.
