Lorri Welch is a breeder of Scottish highland cattle in #113 5482, Vermont, serving northern Vermont near Burlington. With over a decade of experience, Welch follows American Highland Cattle Association guidelines and routine health screenings, ensuring each animal is evaluated for common herd conditions. Calves arrive in late spring and spend their first weeks alongside their dams in open-air pens, then move to mixed grass pastures with access to shelter.

Her approach emphasizes low-stress husbandry and daily gentle handling to foster calm temperaments. Rotational grazing supports soil health and offers continuous forage, while rich wooded areas provide shade and natural brushes. Welch’s background on a small family farm shapes her commitment to strong mother-calf bonds and a herd known for its steady nature and hardiness. Each winter, the herd is fed locally sourced hay and mineral blends to maintain condition through colder months, reflecting Welch’s focus on balanced nutrition year-round.
