About Us
How it all began
We stumbled into ranching. We were not born into it. It was not in our blood, and to be quite frank we didn't know much about cattle at all when we first started out. Our journey to Mini Scots Cattle Co. began like most good things in life. On a whim. I was scrolling through Facebook one day and saw an add for a small herd of Miniature Scottish Highland cattle, and that was it. I was hooked. The crazy planning started, research ensued, and here we are. We are a small ranch specializing in breeding small, friendly Miniature Scottish Highland cattle and Highland crosses. We have a passion for the breed, we love what we do, and we consider ourselves blessed to be able to share a little bit of the American dream with your family.
Our Breeding Program
Our breeding program consists of full Miniature Highland cattle as well as Highland crosses. We have a few cows who are mixed with other breeds such as Dexter, Lowline, White park, and Miniature Hereford to add things like the dwarf chondro gene, fancy coloring, and a shorter leg. Our main goal is to breed an animal that retains all the majestic characteristics of the highland breed but in a much tinier package.
