Bonnie Ridge Farm

Bonnie Ridge Farm raises Scottish highland cattle in Maple Plain, MN, serving Hennepin County near Minneapolis. Jean Simon and George Zenanko have been breeding heritage cattle for more than a decade and maintain active membership with the American Highland Cattle Association.

Animals live in pasture-based systems with rotational grazing and year-round access to shelter, and calves are socialized daily to encourage calm temperaments. Routine health screenings include Johne’s and BVD testing, and records are shared transparently with prospective buyers. The farm’s focus on low-stress handling and sustainable land stewardship reflects a deep respect for each animal.

Bonnie Ridge Farm’s rolling pastures and farmstead offer a glimpse of traditional Scottish highland heritage in a modern setting. Clients often note the cattle’s robust health and friendly natures. All bulls and heifers undergo temperament evaluation and conformation analysis to preserve breed standards and ensure suitability for small-scale farms.
