Circle K Ranch

Circle K Ranch is a Scottish highland cattle breeder in Ferndale, WA, serving Whatcom County and the Puget Sound near Bellingham. Founded by Esther Kimber, the ranch operates under the guidelines of national breed associations and maintains routine health screenings from birth through maturity. Herds graze on rotational pastures, and calves remain with their mothers to support natural development.

Daily handling and early socialization help ensure calm, well-adjusted cattle that adapt easily to new environments. The ranch combines traditional grazing practices with careful record-keeping, reflecting a commitment to both animal welfare and environmental stewardship. Over years of breeding, Circle K Ranch has built a reputation for consistent quality in hoof care and structural soundness across its stock.

Esther Kimber draws on a lifetime of ranching knowledge to manage soil health and integrate crop rotation for forage diversity. Clients often note the cattle’s balanced temperament and sturdy build, qualities central to the rancher’s breeding goals.
