Cheridon Farm

Cheridon Farm, Scottish highland cattle in Dryden, MI, Mid-Michigan near Lansing, is a family-run breeder focused on attentive care. Cheryl Giffin follows recommended practices for genetic health screening and works with veterinary professionals to monitor the herd throughout all seasons. As a single-owner operation, Giffin visits the fields daily to check on calf health and cow welfare. Calves graze on rotational pastures and receive daily handling to support steady growth and friendly dispositions in open fields bordered by woodlots.

The operation maintains formal registration with national breed associations and carefully records pedigrees for each animal. Their emphasis on low-stress management and small herd sizes helps maintain strong foot health and resilience in varied weather. A consistent track record of balanced breeding supports the hardiness typical of Scottish highland cattle. Winter shelters and summer shade structures ensure comfort through Michigan’s seasonal changes.
