Judy A. Bellanger-Dahl breeds Scottish Highland cattle in Perham, Minnesota, Otter Tail County and west central Minnesota near Fargo. She has been raising highland cattle for over a decade and follows guidelines set by the breed registry, with routine health screening and lineage records maintained for each calf. The herd grazes on rotated pastures, receives attentive daily care and calves are often handled to encourage calm temperaments.

Bellanger-Dahl grew up on a family dairy farm, carrying forward a respect for animal welfare and sustainable land practices. Their approach balances traditional husbandry with respect for each animal’s natural behavior, allowing the cattle to thrive outdoors year-round. One local reviewer noted the herd’s steady disposition and distinctive coats as markers of careful breeding and thoughtful socialization. All breeding stock undergoes annual veterinary exams, Johne’s disease testing and genetic screening for inherited conditions. The animals live in small herds to maintain social bonds and are rotated through fenced paddocks to support pasture health.
