Pleasant Acres Farms

Pleasant Acres Farms, Chianina, Nicholson, GA, Jackson County and the northeast Georgia region near Athens. Pleasant Acres Farms is a family-run operation with a focus on preserving breed standards through careful genetic selection and active participation in national Chianina association health programs.

Each animal undergoes regular veterinary screenings, including fertility assessments and structural evaluations, to maintain a herd with sound conformation. Calves are raised in rotational pastures with access to shade and shelter, and they receive a grain-fortified ration during winter months to support steady growth. The owners, Sid Arnold and Tyler Arnold, handle daily chores and socialization tasks, encouraging calm interactions that benefit both herd temperament and handling ease.

Management practices emphasize sustainable pasture management, hoof care and low-stress handling techniques to promote long-term welfare. A balanced approach to nutrition and environment ensures cattle are well-prepared for both local agricultural shows and quality beef production.
