Dry Walnut Stock

Dry Walnut Stock, Scottish highland cattle, Albert, KS in central Kansas near Wichita. Dry Walnut Stock is run by Philip Butler, who maintains a herd registered with national breed associations and follows recommended health screenings for Scottish highland cattle. The family-run farm has been breeding Scottish highland cattle for more than a decade, earning a reputation for consistent temperament and sturdy build.

The operation rotates cattle through native grass pastures supplemented with clover and timothy hay, supporting natural grazing habits and promoting hoof health. Each animal receives daily handling from a young age to foster confidence and easy integration into new herds. Calving season is planned to align with spring grasses, giving calves a strong start outdoors and allowing close observation of maternal bonds. Records trace three generations of breeding stock back to foundation animals imported decades ago, preserving the breed’s signature horns and dense coats. The farm shares knowledge on sustainable pasture management and breeding best practices with fellow enthusiasts.
