B.S. Acres

B.S. Acres raises Scottish Highland cattle in Verona, MO, in the Ozarks near Springfield. It has been breeding these hardy cattle for several years and maintains membership in the American Highland Cattle Association with regular health checks and genetic screening.

The herd grazes on open pasture and benefits from a calving barn that offers shelter and warmth during Missouri’s cooler months. Daily routines emphasize low-stress handling, early calf socialization and pasture rotations to support natural behaviors and resilience. Visitors to this family operation appreciate the gentle temperament of the cattle and the thoughtful approach to sustainable land stewardship.

The small herd size allows close attention to each animal from Lawrence Beck and Audrey Stockton, reflecting a commitment to quality care. B.S. Acres participates in regional livestock fairs, showcasing cattle with breed-typical long hair and strong frame. Its attention to grass-based nutrition ensures calves grow with strong bone structure and consistent weight gains.
