ABOUT US...
The dream to one day own a herd of cows capable of producing show cattle has long been in our family.  It all started with a herd of Chianina cows in the 80’s.  One heifer we raised (Bambi) went on to be the Grand Champion Heifer at the Bartholomew County 4-H Fair for Kip Bonnell.  The herd was sold in the late 80’s and we bought all the 4-H steers.  We started buying from Tom and Denise Garriott and got hooked on Maine-Anjou.  In 2004 we purchased the foundation female for our herd, a Heatseeker daughter we call Heif.  We purchased a Maine bred heifer in 2005 from Howell Cattle Company in Winchester and have been growing ever since.  The herd has grown to include 3 registered Angus females and an additional 2 Maines.  Not only has the herd grown, but the family has as well. 

We adopted a lab mix named Macy who is as interested in the cows as they are her.  She is a constant companion on the farm.  On June 9, 2008, Dan and Janice welcomed their first son.  Joseph Daniel Acree weighed in at 6 pounds 13 ounces and is the pride and joy of the farm.


HERD HEALTH...
Acree Cattle Company has been a closed herd since 2006.  We are a certified Brucellosis and an accredited Tuberculosis negative herd.  We complete annual testing for both to maintain this status and want to keep them clean and healthy.  We work closely with the veterinarians at Seymour Animal Hospital and have a strict vaccination program.  We de-worm every 30-60 days with Cydectin or Dectomax.  All calves are creep fed a ration including Bovatec.  We chose to A.I. all the females and use only TH and PHA free sires.
