Mark Hersman and Lynn Hersman are Scottish Highland breeders in Blaine, Washington, in Whatcom County near Bellingham. They have been raising cattle for several years and maintain registrations with national breed associations, with routine health screenings for bovine diseases. The herd follows a low-stress handling philosophy, with calves remaining alongside their dams until weaning and daily pasture rotations to encourage strong hoof health. Their family farm emphasizes sustainable land management, combining natural timber shelters with rotational grazing systems that support soil health and biodiversity.

Seasonal grass-fed feeding and clean water sources help maintain vitality throughout the year. Visitors often comment on the cattle’s gentle nature and notable hardiness in changing weather. Several animals trace back to show ring champions, while others are valued partners in grassland restoration efforts. Past buyers frequently remark on herd consistency and the Hersmans’ transparent approach to animal welfare practices.
