Creachann Gleann Farm

Creachann Gleann Farm, Scottish highland cattle, Platteville, WI, is located in southwestern Wisconsin near Madison. The farm has followed established breeding guidelines for several years and maintains recommended health screenings for each animal.

Cattle are raised on open pasture and given ample time for gentle handling so they become accustomed to daily human interaction. The owner, Ben Schmidtke, draws on a family tradition of livestock care to support calm temperaments and strong conformation. Herd reviews often note the animals’ sturdy build and even disposition in varied weather.

Calves are born on-site in a clean, comfortable barn environment before moving to grass paddocks with access to shelter. Pasture rotation and seasonal forage management help maintain soil health and support steady weight gain. Visitors appreciate the transparent approach to herd care and often comment on the animals’ calm presence in the fields.
