E&C Acres

E&C Acres, Shorthorn cattle, Kiel, WI, Calumet County and the Fox Valley near Appleton. They are a family run operation led by Eibs Chris and Emily, who draw on Midwest farming traditions and a shared commitment to breeding sound, versatile cattle. The herd is registered through the American Shorthorn Association, with detailed records on lineage, health testing results and performance metrics for every animal.

Herd health testing, rotational grazing and sturdy shelter provisions support low-stress calving seasons and steady weight gain during summer and winter months. Calves receive daily handling in both field and barn settings, encouraging confidence and calm behavior that serve them well in show rings or small farms. Sustainable land management is woven into daily routines, with diverse forage mixes, cover cropping and manure recycling to enhance soil quality. Neighbors and local producers often note the uniform muscle development and gentle temperament that reflect the breeders’ patient, consistent approach to animal care.
