Ace High Ranch

Ace High Ranch, Chianina cattle, Lanark, IL, Carroll County and the Driftless Area near Rockford. Duane Gruhn and Greg Gruhn have raised these cattle with a focus on robust frames and gentle temperaments, participate in national breed registry programs, and carry out comprehensive health screenings for genetic markers and structural soundness.

Their herd grazes on rotational pastures with shelter access, and calves benefit from daily hands-on socialization that promotes calm behavior. Facilities include dedicated calving pens with climate control and clean bedding, and mineral supplementation is tailored for growth and reproductive health.

As a family operation rooted in Midwestern ranching traditions, Ace High Ranch blends careful bloodline selection with practical husbandry. Visitors often note the even temper of the herd and the ranch’s open layout that encourages natural grazing patterns. A shared pride in herd health and well-being guides each breeding decision.
