Forest Bluffs & Prairie Kettle

Forest Bluffs & Prairie Kettle raises Scottish highland cattle in Canton, MN, in southeastern Minnesota near Rochester. The farm follows breed society guidelines and partners with a local veterinarian for routine health evaluations.

Animals graze on rotating pastures that include mixed grasslands and wooded areas, and calves receive early handling to encourage gentle temperaments. Cattle have access to shelter during colder months and natural shade in summer, reflecting a focus on year-round well-being. Owner Sharon Lewis draws on years of small-scale farming to practice sustainable grazing and support soil health. Records are kept for all animals to track lineage and health history, supporting responsible breeding practices.

Calves are evaluated for conformation and docility before joining the main herd, ensuring consistency across generations. Many visitors note the herd’s calm demeanor and the quiet beauty of the rolling meadows, reflecting the farm’s dedication to thoughtful stewardship.
