Big Sky Scottish Highland Cattle Company

Big Sky Scottish Highland Cattle Company is a Scottish Highland cattle breeder in Cody, WY. It serves Park County and the Big Horn Basin near Billings, operating under the care of Mike Miller with a focus on breed association guidelines and routine herd health testing. The ranch maintains registration with national cattle associations and its bloodlines appear at regional agricultural events.

The cattle graze on open range pasture with natural springs and seasonal salt licks year-round, and water troughs are added during dry spells. Calves begin halter-training at an early age to promote calm handling, and socialization routines take place during summer pasture rotations. Grass species selection and rotational grazing support the herd’s digestive health through Wyoming’s changing seasons. Mike Miller draws on local ranching traditions alongside Scottish cattle practices to manage winter feeding with locally sourced hay. The ranch’s approach to low-stress handling, combined with pasture-based care, has received positive feedback from neighboring livestock partners.
