LEA Broderick is our herd bull.

We Tired  Acres is a small Scottish Highland breeding farm located in the hills of central Wisconsin.  We acquired a herd of 18 older cows in February of 2003 and they started having calves in March of that year and we have been in the business ever since.   We are mainly a breeding farm, but also raise a steer or two for our own use.  We are sold on the meat.  We have also shown a few of our cattle at the Highland shows.  We are active in the North Central Highland Cattle Association and Joan manages their show in West Salem, Wisconsin at the
La Crosse Interstate Fairground held in September.  We have the welcome mat out for anyone that is interested in this breed.  We have started several new breeders and we encourage them to attend the shows and see what other people have.  If we do not have what people are looking for to start a herd or to add to their present herd, we are more than happy to send them in the direction of another breeder. 

2009 was a good year for us because we sold 4 first calf heifers and 5 bulls.  The people that purchased the heifers were all first time Highland owners and we are proud that they started with animals from our breeding.  Some of the people will be showing at the September show.
We have 7 calves on the ground as of August of 2009 and we have one more due this fall.  We have 4 bulls and 3 heifers.  One of the bulls will go to the show in September and hopefully someone there will like him enough to buy him.  The other three bulls will be steers.  We will only keep one of the heifers for our herd and hopefully sell the other two.  We like to keep a heifer from each female to see what they turn out like.  We sold a heifer to Vermont last year and we were lucky enough to have another one this year from that cow and want to keep her.
