Collins Family Farmstead

Its program follows established herd health protocols with regular veterinary checks and genetic screening for common conditions. Pastures are managed with native grasses and legumes, supporting sustainable land use and nutritional variety throughout the year. Animals graze freely and have open-sided barns during winter, while daily handling encourages calm temperaments and strong social bonds.

Michael and Rebecca Collins enrich the herd’s environment with natural shelters and mineral supplementation as part of a low-stress care routine. Breeding choices emphasize temperament and structural soundness in line with national Scottish Highland cattle association standards.

Local feedback highlights the farm’s quiet operations and the cattle’s approachable, steady nature across seasons. The farm draws on family farming traditions, maintaining care practices refined over years of experience.
