6 Stix Cattle Co

6 Stix Cattle Co, a Scottish Highland cattle breeder in Waconia, MN, serves Carver County and the Twin Cities near Minneapolis. Scott and Kasey Pitstick follow established herd health protocols, including regular veterinary checks and genetic screening, to maintain strong, resilient cattle. As members of local and national beef associations, they stay informed on best practices and breed standards.

Calves are raised at pasture with daily handling to ensure calm temperaments and are accustomed to varied climates and forage. The Pitsticks emphasize sustainable grazing, rotating pastures to promote land health and biodiversity. Their farm history spans several generations of careful breeding, and their cattle are known for hardy frames and gentle dispositions that fit family farms and small-scale operations. Regular outreach at county fairs offers neighbors a chance to meet the herd and learn about husbandry and meat quality from the Pitsticks’ firsthand experience. They adjust breeding choices to local demand, focusing on animals that thrive on grass-based diets and yield well-marbled beef.
