735 Sw 900

735 Sw 900, Scottish Highland cattle, Montrose, MO, west-central Missouri near Kansas City.

The operation has raised Scottish Highland cattle for several years and maintains registration with the American Highland Cattle Association while following routine health screenings. The herd grazes on open pastures with access to sturdy shelters and receives fresh hay and mineral supplements through the winter months, along with daily handling that promotes a calm temperament.

Each animal undergoes quarterly hoof trimming, regular parasite control, and the farm employs perimeter fencing and sanitation protocols to support biosecurity. Owner Matt Tenholder respects the breed’s heritage by focusing on hardiness and gentle dispositions, and his rotational grazing practices encourage pasture health. The cattle’s distinctive horns and shaggy coats reflect the breed’s origins and draw attention at local fairs and farm tours. Calves are born on the farm each spring and are socialized from an early age under their mothers’ watchful care, helping them adapt easily to handling.
