Michael and Sharon Fitzgerald raise Scottish Highland cattle in Glide, Oregon, Douglas County and the Umpqua Valley near Roseburg. They have been raising Scottish Highland cattle for over a decade, adhere to recommended breed registry health screenings and maintain complete records for each animal.

Their herd grazes on open grassland bordered by native trees, and each calf is handled daily from birth to encourage a calm temperament and strong bond with the Fitzgeralds. Calves remain with their mothers through weaning to promote natural growth patterns, and animals have year-round access to shelter in a simple pole barn.

The Fitzgeralds focus on breeding for hardy bloodlines that thrive in the Pacific Northwest’s damp winters and warm summers. Animals from this herd have been recognized at regional fairs for their condition and gentle disposition. Many local farmers and homesteaders appreciate the stable temperament and adaptability of their cattle.
