Circle Am Cattle Co.

Circle Am Cattle Co. is a breeder of Scottish Highland cattle in Elkland, Missouri, located in the Ozarks near Springfield. Adam Michaud draws on a background in sustainable ranching, raising foundation stock registered with the American Highland Cattle Association and prioritizing routine health checks and pasture management. Calves are socialized from birth in open pasture and receive daily handling to develop calm temperaments suited to family farms.

The herd runs on mixed grass pastures irrigated by a spring-fed creek, reflecting a stewardship approach that balances productivity and land health. Select heifers and bulls have competed in regional fairs, earning ribbons for conformation and hardiness. Customers note the cattle’s docile nature and distinctive long coats adapting well to fluctuating weather on small acreage. Each animal receives mineral supplements and rotational grazing schedules tailored to seasonal changes and soil conditions, supporting overall wellbeing.
