Mills Cattle & Windmill, LLC is owned and operated by Gerald W Mills, Sr of Oxford, Florida. Until 2003 he was a conductor with CSX Transportation. He retired with 42 years of service. A few years before he retired, he leased a piece of property to run cows on that had an old Aermotor Windmill. It hadn't worked in years and he decided that he wanted to use it to water the cows. After many phone calls, it was quite evident that there was no one left in the area that knew anything about fixing windmills or even where to get the replacement parts. Being the type of person that he is, he wasn't satisfied with what he had heard. So with much researching on the internet, we were finally able to contact people out west that still sold windmills and replacement parts. Gerald took the old windmill down and tore it completely apart. With the help of manuals that he had recieved from his contacts, he was able to repair the old mill and get it back to working condition. Thus was born Central Florida's Windmill Man.
Since his retirement, Gerald has had much pleasure meeting new people and traveling around the country learning more and more about his new found hobby. We have since found a supplier of new and rebuilt gearboxes, along with any part that belongs on an Aermotor Windmill. He was suprised to find that there were many people in Florida that either wanted a windmill just for looks or because they needed it to water their own livestock. He take's pride in his work and enjoys seeing the smiles on the faces of his customer.
Please take the time and look around our website. If you have any questions, Gerald would be glad to talk to you or you can find his email address on our contacts page.
