Sandy Acres

Sandy Acres breeds Hereford cattle in Elk Mound, WI, serving Dunn County and the Chippewa Valley near Eau Claire. The family operation has more than 25 years of experience, follows American Hereford Association guidelines and conducts routine health testing on all breeding stock.

Cattle graze on rolling pastures managed with rotational grazing and sustainable practices to promote soil health and animal welfare. Calves are handled daily from birth to encourage calm temperaments and early social learning in a low-stress environment.

At Sandy Acres calves have been recognized for consistent temperament and uniform muscle development at regional livestock shows. Handlers appreciate the clear traceability of each animal, with records maintained from birth through weaning. Visitors note the open barn design that gives young cattle room to move freely and practice natural behaviors. The original homestead buildings date back to the 1940s and have been adapted to support modern cattle care while preserving traditional farm values.
