Our farm was established here, in Central Illinois, in 1988. We both grew up on Illinois farms and although our professional careers took us both into medicine, we dreamed of the day when we could establish our own small farm and "return to our roots".

Our farm was established here, in Central Illinois, in 1988. We both grew up on Illinois farms and although our professional careers took us both into medicine, we dreamed of the day when we could establish our own small farm and "return to our roots". We initially raised Holstein cattle, steers for beef and replacement dairy heifers. In 2001, we learned about Rocky Mountain Horses, a heritage gaited American breed. We have been breeding Rockies since 2006. In 2013, we bought our first Braunvieh and now we breed and sell original Braunviehs, too. Each of the foals and calves born here bear the eMDee prefix.

Over the past 20 years, we have been to many states trail riding, participating in RMHA shows, competing in versatility events, or traveling to promote the breed. The Rockies have taken us to places we never expected riding in the Holy Land and visiting with other RMH owners in Israel and the Netherlands. Along the way we have met many wonderful people. Our original plan to have two horses grew to over twenty including our riding stock, our grand champions, our stallion, a herd of brood mares, and 2 or 3 foals a year. We love this breed for its versatility, temperament, beauty, smooth ride... in fact, everything about this breed.

Braunvieh Cattle
Braunvieh cattle came to our farm after Michael discovered their amazing traits and fell in love with the history of the breed. We love this docile breed for their heat and cold tolerance, calving ease, strong maternal abilities, and the high-quality beef they produce on nothing but grass and hay.

Braunvieh cattle came to our farm after Michael discovered their amazing traits and fell in love with the history of the breed. We love this docile breed for their heat and cold tolerance, calving ease, strong maternal abilities, and the high-quality beef they produce on nothing but grass and hay. Besides that..... they're pretty and their calves are the cutest. We have met wonderful people from around the world as we learned about this breed. Our herd has grown to include about 2 dozen adult and juvenile animals at any given time and we sell calves year-round for breeding stock and for beef.
