Edmison Acres

Edmison Acres, Scottish highland cattle in Johnsonville, IL, is located in southern Illinois near St. Louis. Lindsey Edmison manages a small herd on 150 acres and participates in breed association programs while following recommended health screening protocols. As a third-generation farmer, she emphasizes sustainable practices to keep soils healthy and cattle strong.

The cattle graze on pastures with free access to shelter and are handled gently to support calm temperaments. Calves stay with their mothers through weaning and receive regular health checks. Attention to grass-based feeding and rotational grazing helps maintain herd well-being and fosters resilient animals suited to local conditions.

She works with a local veterinarian for routine fertility evaluations, mineral analysis of soils and feed, and parasite control. Selective breeding at Edmison Acres maintains traditional horns, thick winter coats and a predictable calving season from spring through early summer.
