Double D Farm

Double D Farm, Highland cattle, Quinlan, TX, is located in Hunt County and northeast Texas near Dallas. For more than 15 years, the farm has bred registered Highland cattle according to the American Highland Cattle Association, attending regional shows and conducting hoof trimming, weight checks and comprehensive health screenings. Every breeding animal undergoes genetic testing for horned and polled traits along with routine Johne’s disease and bovine viral diarrhea tests.

Calves are raised on rotational paddocks with year-round access to shelter, fresh water and mineral supplements, and regular handling helps them develop calm temperaments suited to small-scale farms. Dan Ganger and Earlene Myers keep detailed records on lineage, pasture rotations and nutritional plans to support maternal health and steady weight gain. Visitors note the relaxed herd behavior during open barn tours and appreciate the farm’s balanced approach to soil restoration and animal welfare.
