Kassie Mcelhaney breeds Scottish highland cattle in Mechanicsville, Maryland, in St. Mary’s County and Southern Maryland near Annapolis. Mcelhaney has been working with Scottish highland cattle for over ten years, registers each calf with the Highland Cattle Association and ensures all breeding stock undergoes routine health screenings. She adheres to breed standards and monitors genetic diversity to maintain the hardy traits Scottish highland cattle are known for. Each animal is raised on open pasture, with daily gentle handling from their first week to encourage calm temperaments.

The farm rotates grazing fields seasonally to support healthy forage and soil, reflecting Mcelhaney’s sustainable approach. This attention to low-stress care produces cattle known for their resilience in varied weather and steady growth rates. Local homesteads often comment on the breed’s friendly nature and distinctive long hair that thrives through cold winters. During winter, cattle have access to wind-protected shelters and quality hay to preserve health and coat condition.
