5160 Peach Orchard Rd.

5160 Peach Orchard Rd. is home to Scottish Highland cattle in Mount Vernon, Missouri, in Lawrence County and the Ozarks near Springfield. Peck has focused on these hardy cattle for over a decade, follows breed association health standards and keeps detailed records to support each herd member. Animals graze on mixed pastureland next to the family home where they receive daily attention and early socialization. Calves are born under shelter with round-the-clock monitoring, and mature cows spend summers on open fields that encourage natural foraging.

A recent reviewer noted gentle temperaments and clear lineage documentation, reflecting Peck’s steady commitment to the breed’s heritage. The herd benefits from rotational grazing, seasonal mineral supplementation and protected winter housing to maintain steady weight and coat condition. Peck also welcomes questions from local farmer groups and shares updates on herd growth with a small circle of neighbors. Birth weights and growth rates are tracked for every calf to ensure transparency across several generations.
