She has bred Chianina cattle for over a decade, holds membership in the American Chianina Association, and follows breed association guidelines with regular health screenings for her herd.

Her barns and paddocks feature roomy shelters, well-drained pens, continuous access to fresh water and mineral supplements year round.

The family-owned farm operates on principles of sustainable land management, including rotational grazing techniques and cover cropping to maintain nutrient-rich pastures. Aimee’s meticulous records for breeding, health, and lineage documentation have earned respect among local farms and breeders in eastern Iowa. Her Chianina cattle have distinguished frames and steady temperaments, often selected for regional livestock shows and quality beef production programs.
