Crosspoint Ranch

Crosspoint Ranch raises Scottish highland cattle in Mt. Grove, MO, in the Ozark Plateau near Springfield.

Paul Herchen and Jan Herchen follow breed association guidelines, maintain registration with the American Highland Cattle Association, and conduct regular health screenings, ensuring that each calf receives early wellness checks and nutritional evaluations.

The ranch’s cattle graze on native grasses across gently rolling pastures, where the herd’s social bonds are encouraged from weaning onward. As a family-operated farm, Crosspoint Ranch emphasizes hands-on care, with daily interactions that foster calm temperaments and build trust. A commitment to transparent record-keeping means prospective buyers can review detailed breeding histories, health records, and pasture rotation plans to make informed choices. Their approach to rotational grazing supports soil health and biodiversity on the property, reflecting a longstanding connection to Missouri agriculture and sustained stewardship. Calving season often begins in early spring, aligning with optimal forage growth and promoting natural herd rhythms.
