Sullivan Cattle Co

Sullivan Cattle Co raises Shorthorn cattle in Dunlap, IA, in Harrison County and the Loess Hills near Council Bluffs. Joe Sullivan has been breeding Shorthorn cattle for several years and maintains membership in the national breed association to uphold health and lineage standards.

Pasture-based rotations and on-site calving pens reflect the farm’s commitment to attentive care, with calves socialized from an early age in a family-run setting. The herd benefits from routine veterinary checks, balanced nutrition plans, and year-round turnout on native grasses. Customers note the cattle’s calm temperament and consistent growth rates, a testament to the farm’s steady, hands-on approach.

All cattle are traceable back to pedigrees maintained on site, and the farm’s emphasis on sustainable grazing practices supports soil health and local ecosystems. As a small-scale ranch, Sullivan Cattle Co values open communication and strives for long-term relationships rooted in honesty and consistent results.
