C&N Farms, LLC

Chris and Nici grew up working on their grandparents' farms. Raising livestock requires a lot of time, hard work and dedication. We spend countless hours checking the cows, caring for newborn calves, ensuring the health, safety and well being of the herd. We grow food to feed the cows. We spend many hours riding in the tractor, working the ground, planting seeds, chopping silage, hauling and stacking hay.

It’s satisfying to sit in the pasture and watch the calves run and play, watch the herd interact with each other while a few of the “favorite” cows come to you for a “chat” and a scratch.

Every day is a new learning opportunity that never ends. We have to be ready to tackle anything that comes our way........the mama cow who lost her newborn calf, the need to plant the cornfield but the rain just won’t stop. It takes optimism and the ability to see potential.

At the end of the day, it is our hope to raise our five children with the same values and morals our parents and grandparents instilled in us: a grateful heart, the ability to bloom where they're planted, to fall in love with fresh air and the smell of alfalfa, to believe that with hard work they can do anything they set their mind to.......and always remember to set aside time every day doing what makes you happy. For us, it’s cows. Cows make us happy.
