Circle Am Cattle Company

Circle Am Cattle Company, a Scottish highland cattle breeder in Elkland, MO, serves southern Missouri and the Ozarks near Springfield. Adam Michaud draws on more than fifteen years of experience raising hardy cattle on open pasture. The operation follows guidelines from recognized cattle associations and implements routine health screenings to ensure herd vitality.

Cattle graze on rolling hills along Longhorn Road, where rotational grazing practices promote strong bone development and seasonal weight gain. Calves are introduced early to gentle handling, encouraging calm temperaments well suited for small farms and homesteads. Monthly on-site veterinary visits and quarterly hoof inspections are part of regular husbandry routines.

The farm sources non-GMO hay and tailored mineral supplements, reflecting a focus on natural growth at every stage. Their stock embodies the breed’s heritage with a dense shaggy coat and well-spaced horns that many owners describe as both striking and manageable.
