Eroe Ranch

Eroe Ranch, Highland cattle breeder, Houstonia, MO, is based in Johnson County near Kansas City. Riki Harding has focused on maintaining strong bloodlines under breed council health standards, ensuring calves receive regular veterinary screenings. All animals graze across open pastures with shelter access and daily oversight of their nutritional and social needs. Highland cattle’s hardy nature suits varying climates, and the ranch’s rolling hills offer ideal conditions for their dense coats and grazing behavior.

Their approach emphasizes early calf socialization, introducing young cattle to routine handling to promote calmer temperaments and easier farm integration. Built on decades of local farming heritage, the ranch integrates time-honored husbandry with mindful respect for each animal’s welfare. Many visitors note the cattle’s friendly demeanor and the ranch’s straightforward information on lineage and care history. Herds are monitored year-round for weight gains and overall health, reflecting the ranch’s commitment to transparency and long-term animal welfare.
