Sullivan Farms

Sullivan Farms raises Hereford cattle in Dunlap, IA, Harrison County and the Loess Hills region near Council Bluffs. They follow American Hereford Association guidelines and ensure routine health screening, including genetic testing for key conditions, for all breeding stock. Calves are socialized on open pastures from birth and spend time in the barnyard environment to build familiarity with farm life. Each animal’s lineage is documented in a multigenerational herd book to maintain transparency and breeding integrity. They maintain a seasonal calving schedule to align birthing with peak forage growth.

Seasonal rotational grazing on a mix of grasses and legumes supports environmental stewardship and balanced nutrition. As a family operation, they focus on sound conformation and gentle temperament, with several head earning ribbons at local livestock shows. The farm collaborates with neighboring producers to share best practices and support the wider ag community.
