American Highlands Ranch

American Highlands Ranch, Scottish highland cattle in Fort Collins, CO, is based in Larimer County and the Front Range near Denver. With more than a decade of experience and active participation in the American Highland Cattle Association, it follows recommended health testing and breeding standards.

The cattle graze on rotational pastures around the ranch, and each herd member benefits from daily handling to build calm temperaments. Winter shelters are stocked with hay from local fields, reflecting a focus on sustainable forage and animal comfort.

Breeding lines are chosen for hardiness and maternal traits to suit Colorado’s seasonal temperature swings. A number of calves have shown steady gains at county fairs, and neighbors appreciate the ranch’s thoughtful approach to low-impact farming. Every animal receives individualized health checks and quarterly hoof trimming to promote long-term well-being. Their location near Fort Collins provides easy access to diverse climatic conditions, helping the herd adapt to summer heat and winter chill.
