Cheerful Acres

Cheerful Acres Shorthorn cattle in Delavan, WI, are raised at a family run farm in Walworth County and southeastern Wisconsin near Milwaukee. The farm has been breeding Shorthorn cattle for several years, holds membership in the American Shorthorn Association and conducts annual health screenings to maintain herd wellness. Animals graze on rotating paddocks with access to sheltered loafing areas, and calves stay with their dams to support steady growth and early socialization.

Cheerful Acres is known for a calm herd temperament and hands on care routines that reflect a family inherited approach to animal husbandry. Sires and dams are selected for sound feet and maternal abilities, traits valued by local farmers who seek reliable beef and breeding stock. Owner Connie Jean Baker personally oversees daily routines and makes sure each calf receives individual attention from birth through weaning. Seasonal forage is supplemented with locally sourced hay during winter months to ensure consistent nutrition.
