Farm D Family Farm

Farm D Family Farm, a Scottish Highland cattle breeder in Herington, KS, serves Dickinson County and central Kansas near Wichita. Jake Dugan has raised Scottish Highland cattle for several years and maintains membership in the American Highland Cattle Association with routine health testing for all breeding stock. The herd receives balanced mineral supplementation, regular veterinary oversight, and calving occurs on site with daily monitoring to ensure strong early growth. Calves are nurtured on rotational pasture and exposed to daily handling from birth to support a docile temperament.

The farm emphasizes sustainable grazing and mixed-grass pastures that help soil health and animal well-being. Herd management combines traditional grazing methods with genetic screening to uphold breed standards and resilience. Rotational grazing across multiple fields promotes forage variety and environmental balance. Offspring often go on to regional small family farms and homesteads seeking hardy, adaptable animals that thrive in varied climates.
