Burwin Farm

Burwin Farm, Scottish highland cattle, Mountain Iron, MN, St. Louis County and the Iron Range near Duluth. Josh Irwin has been raising these hardy cattle for several years and maintains registrations with national breed associations, following recommended health testing protocols. The operation follows industry guidelines for careful record-keeping and breeding ethics.

The herd grazes on natural pastures through spring and summer, with access to sheltered paddocks during colder months. Fields circle a small woodland, offering year-round shade and varied forage. Young animals are gently introduced to handling routines, supporting calm temperaments and easy integration into family operations.

Operating from a century-old farmstead, Burwin Farm honors traditional methods while adapting to modern welfare standards and contributes to local seed stock improvements by sharing breeding insights with neighboring ranchers. Attention to lineage and environment helps preserve classic breed traits in each generation.
