Busted Bucket Ranch

Busted Bucket Ranch is a breeder of Scottish highland cattle in Gatesville, TX, Coryell County and central Texas near Waco. It works with regional cattle associations and follows recommended health screenings to ensure sound, healthy stock.

The ranch’s cattle graze on a mix of native grasses and carefully managed forage, and Warren Berg emphasizes low-stress handling and early socialization. Herds rotate across pastures to support soil health and give cattle room to develop at their own pace. Weather-sheltered paddocks and open pastures offer protection from sun and rain.

Regular veterinary check-ups and customized nutrition plans help maintain robust health through seasonal changes, while calves are handled daily from birth to encourage calm temperaments and ease integration into larger herds. Weaning protocols emphasize minimal stress to support steady weight gain and resilience, and natural shelter belts of cedar and oak trees dot the pastures for shade and wind protection. This steady approach reflects a long-term commitment to balanced husbandry and lasting animal welfare.
