Baker's River Ranch

Baker’s River Ranch, Scottish Highland cattle, Durango, CO, sits in Southwest Colorado near Albuquerque. Harry Baker and Paulett Baker are proud members of the American Highland Cattle Association and follow guidelines for temperament and conformation, working with local veterinarians for annual health screenings. The couple has more than ten years of experience caring for highland cattle herds across open pasture, with a focus on gentle handling and early socialization.

The ranch operates on rolling grassland where cattle roam freely and receive mineral supplements tailored to breed requirements. Calves spend their first weeks close to family activity to ensure steady exposure to farm life and human companionship. Bloodlines trace back to foundation stock imported from Scotland, supporting consistency in coat quality and maternal instincts. Visitors often note the calm character of the animals and the attention paid to sustainable grazing practices.
