Byre At Pipers Pond

Byre At Pipers Pond, Scottish Highland cattle, Bristol, ME, sits in Lincoln County and the Midcoast near Rockland. Jeffrey Patterson and Helen Costello are devoted breeders with backgrounds in agronomy and animal nutrition who follow recommended health screenings and maintain active memberships with recognized cattle associations. They have more than eight years of hands-on experience in breeding, guided by industry best practices and standards from the American Highland Cattle Association.

Their herd grazes on rotational pastures and spends cold months in a timber-frame barn built on the original pond site. Calves are socialized from birth and join family farm activities to ensure a calm temperament. The pair aims to maintain the breed’s heritage traits while supporting sustainable land stewardship.

Local farmers often commend them for thoughtful care and consistent standards. Their property includes a restored 19th-century farmhouse and woodlot preserved for seasonal browse.
