Crooked Timber Ranch

Crooked Timber Ranch, Scottish Highland cattle in Mica, WA, is located in Spokane County and the Inland Northwest near Spokane. Joshua Mckee and Karli Mckee have over a decade of experience breeding Scottish Highland cattle and follow the American Highland Cattle Association’s recommendations for herd health, including annual veterinary exams and genetic screenings.

Their herd grazes on rotational pastures at the foot of the Selkirk Mountains, and calves are handled daily to foster a calm and confident disposition. The ranch applies holistic land management practices that have encouraged native grasses to flourish across its rolling fields. Each animal benefits from seasonally adjusted nutrition plans, routine hoof trimming, and access to shelters that ensure comfort through changing weather.

The ranch’s small herd size allows the Mckees to provide individualized attention and preserve the breed’s distinctive rugged appearance. Prospective buyers often comment on the herd’s gentle nature and consistent quality, reflecting the Mckees’ dedication to responsible and sustainable farming.
