Crow Creek Cattle Company

Crow Creek Cattle Company are Scottish Highland cattle breeders in Idaho Falls, ID, in eastern Idaho near Pocatello. They maintain a closed herdbook with annual screenings for Johne’s disease and bovine viral diarrhea, paired with detailed lineage records that reflect responsible cattle management.

They use a pasture-based approach, rotating grazing fields and providing sturdy shelters. Calves are handled gently from birth and socialized daily to encourage calm, friendly temperaments. Owners Alisson Wilding and Gary Young emphasize sustainability and community education through occasional farm visits for local 4-H groups and school tours. Their calves adapt well to small-scale farms and homesteads, drawing positive feedback from nearby producers and ranchers.

For over a decade, their membership in the American Highland Cattle Association has guided efforts in genetic diversity, breed standards and youth education. Winter management includes deep straw bedding, year-round mineral supplementation and biannual veterinary checkups to maintain herd vitality.
