Calamity Cattle Co.

Calamity Cattle Co. raises Scottish Highland cattle in Anthony, ID, in southeastern Idaho near Pocatello. David Klepich has focused on herd health through regular veterinary checkups, industry-standard testing for common bovine conditions, and close attention to individual well-being. The ranch's pastures include open fields and natural shelter, encouraging steady weight gain and calm temperaments.

Animals are handled daily from a young age, fostering ease of movement through chutes and ensuring familiarity with human contact. Founded on family roots, the operation has grown through careful selection of bloodlines to suit small farms and homesteads. Visitors note the relaxed atmosphere among the cattle and the thoughtful management of grazing cycles to preserve soil health.

Highland cattle's dense coats suit Idaho's seasonal temperature swings and contribute to efficient weight maintenance year-round. Grazing rotations follow the natural availability of grasses, helping to protect water sources and encourage a balanced pasture ecology.
