David Haines and Randy Haines are Scottish highland cattle breeders in Alanson, Michigan, in northern Michigan near Petoskey. They have been raising Scottish highland cattle for several years and follow national registry guidelines with routine health screenings for genetic conditions.

Their herd grazes on managed pasture with access to sheltered loafing areas and clean water year-round, and calves are gently handled from birth to support calm temperaments. They prioritize low-impact grazing techniques and soil health, rotating paddocks to enhance forage quality for all ages of cattle. The farm’s multigenerational history fosters sustainable land stewardship, and they often host small groups for educational visits to share breeding practices and cattle care.

Herd bulls and cows receive regular veterinary assessments, including hoof trimming and fertility checks, to maintain robust animal welfare standards. Family involvement ensures attentive care through winter feeding plans and summer shade provision for every herd member. Community feedback often highlights the gentle nature and consistent quality of their Scottish highland cattle.
