Calhoun Highland Ranch

Calhoun Highland Ranch raises Scottish highland cattle in North Platte, NE, serving western Nebraska near Grand Island. With more than a decade of experience refining its herd, it follows established health protocols and participates in registry programs to ensure clear genetic lines. Herds graze open pastures along the North Platte River and benefit from daily care by Jim Calhoun.

Cattle are handled gently from birth, with an emphasis on early socialization and robust shelter that stands up to Nebraska winters. Each animal develops resilience and a calm temperament noted by area farms. Owners appreciate the balance between natural forage and thoughtful herd management that defines the ranch’s approach.

Jim Calhoun sources breeding stock with documented health histories, working closely with veterinarians for routine screenings and vaccinations. The ranch’s location on river-bottom grasslands encourages robust foraging and contributes to the breed’s trademark hardiness.
