Beck Farm

Beck Farm raises Scottish Highland cattle in West Alexander, PA, Washington County and the Appalachian Plateau near Pittsburgh. Donald Beck has nurtured Scottish Highland cattle for over a decade and engages with regional cattle associations to exchange best practices in breeding and health testing.

Each animal rotates through well-maintained pastures surrounded by secure fencing, receiving daily handling that helps develop a calm disposition. Beck ensures calves undergo routine vaccinations, growth monitoring, and biosecurity measures under veterinary guidance. The farm blends modern record keeping with heritage bloodlines to preserve the breed’s resilience and steady temperament.

Visitors note the welcoming layout of shaded resting areas and sturdy shelters that complement natural grazing. Feedback reflects appreciation for the herd’s sturdy build and gentle nature. Donald Beck often invites local schools to tour the pastures and learn about sustainable grazing practices and land stewardship.
