Baxter Farms

Baxter Farms is a Scottish Highland cattle breeder in Buckner, MO, Jackson County and the Kansas City area. With years of dedication to the breed, owner Brian Gallman follows guidelines set by the American Highland Cattle Association and oversees regular health screenings to maintain robust bloodlines.

Baxter Farms practices rotational grazing on pastureland and provides year-round shelter with sturdy barns and straw bedding. A mineral-balanced diet complements natural forage, supporting the breed’s renowned hardiness and distinctive coat.

Calves are gently handled from birth to encourage steady growth and calm temperaments, and the herd benefits from daily interactions with caretakers. Halter training begins early, which eases future handling and reduces stress during transport. The farm maintains detailed records for each animal, offering buyers clear insight into lineage, performance metrics, and pasture-to-farm histories. Many buyers note the herd’s consistent vigor and appreciation for the farm’s straightforward communication on herd health.
