Bluebird Ranch

Bluebird Ranch is a Scottish highland cattle breeder in Whitefish, MT, in Flathead County and the Flathead Valley near Kalispell. Anne Henzel has led the ranch for several years and follows national registry guidelines along with routine health screenings to support strong genetics.

The herd grazes on open pastures adjacent to forested hillsides, and calves stay close to their mothers to encourage steady growth and social behavior. Henzel emphasizes gentle handling and regular interaction so the cattle remain calm around people and adapt well to varied climates. A multi-generational family property, the ranch balances sensible herd management with a respect for local ecosystems, reflected in rotating pastures and shelter barns. Many visitors remark on the cattle’s calm temperament and sturdy health, outcomes of attentive daily routines and carefully balanced diets. Detailed records track each animal’s lineage and health milestones, and the ranch participates in community agriculture days to share knowledge about sustainable cattle care.
