Edmison Acres

Edmison Acres raises Scottish highland cattle at 1875N Johnsonville, IL, in Central Illinois near Springfield. The farm is owned by Chad Edmison, who has been raising Scottish highland cattle for more than a decade. Edmison Acres participates in national and state cattle registries, and conducts regular health screenings for common genetic conditions like ocular dermatosis. Registration papers and detailed medical records accompany each animal to ensure transparency for new owners.

Their cattle graze on rotational pasture across open fields, feeding on a mix of native grasses and legumes to support natural nutrition. Calves are handled gently from birth, with frequent low-stress introductions to humans that foster calm temperaments and herd cohesion. Operations rely on sustainable practices, including managed grazing rotations and on-site composting to enrich the soil and reduce waste. Local families visiting the property often note the cattle’s docile nature and consistent quality, reflecting the farm’s hands-on approach.
