Abbey Cattle Co.

Abbey Cattle Co. is a Scottish Highland cattle breeder in Angelica, NY, western New York near Buffalo. Justin Abbey has been raising Scottish Highland cattle for several years, holds membership in the American Highland Cattle Association, and its herd undergoes routine health screening for common herd concerns.

The animals graze on rotational pastures and rest in open, well-ventilated barns with fresh bedding, supporting natural behaviors and comfort through all seasons. Calves spend their first weeks alongside their mothers to develop strong bonds before gentle handling introduces them to typical farm rhythms. Mixed grasses and clover species in the fields provide a varied diet across the growing season, supporting herd nutrition and pasture health.

Regular grooming and hoof care ensure the herd remains in sound physical condition and ready for seasonal changes. Historic barn structures on the property have been updated to meet modern safety standards while preserving the farm’s traditional character. The farm’s approach reflects transparent stewardship and attention to breed heritage, emphasizing animal welfare and the quiet resilience characteristic of Scottish Highland cattle.
