Duck Fart Ranch

Duck Fart Ranch Scottish Highland cattle Louisburg, KS, nurtures herds across Miami County and the Kansas City area. Julie Schlatter has managed the ranch for more than fifteen years, maintaining registrations with the American Highland Cattle Association and conducting regular genetic and health screenings.

Cattle rotate daily through pasture paddocks enriched with native grasses, alongside a mineral supplement program and winter hay reserves to support resilience in all seasons. Each animal enjoys early handling by family members, barn shelter on colder nights and spacious turnout areas during milder days, which neighbors appreciate for the herd’s calm demeanor.

The ranch began as a small backyard herd and has grown into a multi-generational endeavor focused on reliable maternal traits and uniform coat quality. Each calf leaves with detailed health records, pasture management notes and insights on stewardship that reflect the ranch’s commitment to sustainability and animal welfare.
