Canfield Farm

Canfield Farm, Scottish highland cattle, Sanford, MI in Midland County in the Great Lakes Bay Region near Saginaw. Cheryl and Edward Canfield have been breeding Scottish highland cattle in a family setting for years, working with breed associations on recommended health screenings.

The herd thrives on rotational grazing across open pastures, with access to shelter from seasonal weather. Calves are raised near family barns and benefit from daily handling to encourage calm behavior. A balanced diet of pasture forage and supplemental minerals helps maintain coat quality and overall health, and clean barns with well-maintained fences reflect their day-to-day care routine.

Raised with attention to traditional traits, these cattle adapt well to Michigan climates and maintain gentle dispositions. Several of their cattle have placed well at county agricultural exhibitions. The Canfields’ emphasis on sustainable practices and thoughtful husbandry has garnered positive feedback from neighboring farms and local fairs.
