Kevin Hilton, Scottish highland cattle, Bowman, North Dakota. He has been raising these distinctive animals for over a decade and holds membership in the American Highland Cattle Association, ensuring all breeding stock undergoes annual health screenings, genetic assessments, and hoof care protocols. His breeding program focuses on animals with calm dispositions and robust build, aiming to preserve the breed’s unique coat and resilience to cold temperatures.

The herd grazes across a mix of fenced pasture and restored prairie, and calves are handled daily from birth to encourage gentle temperaments and ease of handling. Their ranch sits in southwestern North Dakota near Bismarck, where natural forage and sheltering windbreaks support year-round comfort. Several of Hilton’s cattle have placed at state and regional agricultural fairs, a reflection of careful selection and patient animal husbandry. Owners often note the cattle’s calm manner and consistent health record when discussing their experience.
