Ashbrook Farms

Ashbrook Farms, Scottish highland cattle, Dover, PA, raises its herd in York County and the Susquehanna Valley near Harrisburg. It follows industry-standard health testing protocols for common bovine conditions, schedules regular veterinary checkups, and maintains full documentation from birth through weaning for each calf.

Cattle graze on rotational pasture seeded with native grasses and legumes, and receive daily handling to foster calm temperaments, with young animals spending time near the farmhouse and interacting with visitors. The property has been stewarded by Robert Eshbach for over 20 years, reflecting a commitment to sustainable land use, soil conservation, and preserving heritage bloodlines through careful selection. Pasture rotations support soil health and biodiversity, aligning with the farm's small-scale approach and promoting resilient forage growth through seasonal planning.

Registrations are available through the national breed registry, and breeding selections prioritize genetic diversity alongside classic highland characteristics such as long coats and horn shape. Its cattle are noted for sturdy frames, gentle nature, and winter resilience in local conditions.
