8500 Dieringer Lane

8500 Dieringer Lane is a breeder of Scottish Highland cattle in Reno, Nevada, Washoe County near Carson City. Owner Rick Trachok has spent over a decade working with the hardy breed, participating in regional cattle associations and following recommended health screening protocols.

All cattle live on well-drained pastures and follow a rotational grazing system that balances grass quality and herd health. Calves remain with their dams until natural weaning and benefit from regular handling to build calm temperaments. Rick maintains modest herd sizes to ensure each animal receives individual care and proper nutrition throughout the seasons. Each animal is evaluated for structural soundness before joining the herd, reflecting a commitment to longevity and functional traits.
