Shannon Chrest is a Scottish Highland cattle breeder in Manchester, Iowa, serving northeastern Iowa near Dubuque. She has been raising this hardy breed for more than a decade with registrations through the national Scottish Highland cattle association and ongoing health screenings for every animal. Herds graze on gently rolling pastures by a family homestead, where calves join daily handling routines to encourage calm temperaments.

Shannon follows rotational grazing and seasonal calving schedules to support pasture health and individual animal care. All cattle receive regular veterinary checkups and tailored nutritional plans to maintain robust health throughout the year. The breeding program focuses on genetic diversity and structural soundness, reflecting her commitment to responsible stewardship. Routine hoof trimming and pasture rotations help prevent common ailments, and simple shelters offer protection during harsher seasons.
