Kristopher Burtoft is a dedicated small-scale Scottish highland cattle breeder in Longmont, Colorado, in Boulder County and the Front Range near Denver. He has worked with these robust cattle for several years, follows breed registry protocols, and ensures regular veterinary health testing.

His herd grazes on open pastures, rotated for fresh forage, and calves spend time with handlers to build calm temperaments. The operation combines family values with attention to the cattle’s heritage through sustainable land management practices. Animals are raised with a focus on low-stress handling and resilience to local weather patterns.

Winter feeding relies on locally grown hay to maintain herd condition through colder months. Routine hoof trimming and vaccinations follow regional guidelines, ensuring well-being year-round. The gentle nature of Scottish highland cattle makes them especially suitable for small farms and mixed-use operations.
