5F Highland Ranch

5F Highland Ranch specializes in Scottish highland cattle in Cle Elum, WA, Kittitas County and the Cascade Range near Seattle. Owned by Kevin Fortier, the farm has been raising Scottish highland cattle for over a decade, maintaining membership in national breeder associations and adhering to recommended health screenings. Animals live on open pastures with a shelter barn, where they access trace minerals and winter forage, and calves begin leisurely pasture walks within days of birth. Early socialization with staff and regular veterinary checks ensure well-adjusted herds.

The ranch combines traditional farming techniques with gentle handling to support both meat and breeding stock, and several animals have earned regional show ribbons. Visitors note the ranch’s calm atmosphere and knowledgeable care, reflecting a family approach that balances productivity with animal welfare.
