2009 Champion Get of Sire.

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   show 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 always welcome anyone interested in this breed to come a visit us and talk Highlands.  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. 

2010 has been both a good and a sad year for us because we sold our bull LEA Broderick in March to Flashing Thunder Farm, Larry Nelson and Joyce Quinn, in Kansas.  We hated to see him go, but we have too many of his daughters.  He was a terrific cross with our cows.  His off spring have done wonderful in shows.  We bought a new bull from Ryan Weideman of Schon Boden Farms.  He is a two year old show bull and has a great temperament.  We have ten cows to breed this year so he will be busy.  He has big shoes to fill.  We also sold 3 two year old heifers to a gentleman that is just starting into Highlands. Two of these heifers were shown last year and were Division Champion and Reserve Champion.  So their new owner, Walter Landcaster, has some very nice heifers to start his herd of Highlands. 

We are done calving with 8 calves on the ground, 4 bulls and 4 heifers.  One of the bulls for sure will go to the show in September and hopefully someone there will like him enough to buy him.  He is the result of a LEA Broderick daughter bred to We Tired Acres Joc, the bull we sold to Cobblestone Farm several years ago.  We are very high on him and look forward to showing him this fall.

Come and visit us, the welcome mat is always out!
