Fat Cow Farms

Fat Cow Farms, Scottish highland cattle, Bend, OR, serves Deschutes County and Central Oregon near Redmond. Chris Perret has over fifteen years of breeding experience, is a member of national cattle associations and follows established health-testing protocols, including regular hoof care and vaccinations, to maintain herd vitality. All cattle graze on rotational pastures with open-shelter barns, natural spring water access and receive daily handling to build gentle temperaments and ease stress during routine checks.

The farm rotates meadows to mimic native grazing patterns, employs low-stress stockmanship techniques and offers private calving pens with soft bedding for expectant cows. Visitors often remark on the tranquil setting, noting clean watering troughs, mineral block stations and the quiet confidence of well-socialized calves. Genetic selection emphasizes hardy traits suited to the high-desert climate of Central Oregon, reflecting a balanced approach to heritage breed stewardship and farm sustainability. Their cattle have been recognized at regional livestock shows for conformation and temperament, a testament to consistent breeding standards and hands-on farm care.
