Front Forty Farm

Front Forty Farm raises Scottish Highland cattle in Holden, MO, Johnson County in the Kansas City area. They are members of the American Highland Cattle Association and uphold annual health checks for all breeding stock.

Vaccinations and parasite control follow a schedule developed with their local veterinarian, and breeding stock undergoes genetic testing when possible. The herd grazes on rolling fields with access to shelter in weather extremes, and calves are handled from birth to foster steady socialization. Calves remain with dams throughout a slow-growth period that builds thicker winter coats ideal for colder seasons.

Keith Clark and Mary Clark operate on a century-old homestead, where sustainable grazing and low-stress handling guide their work. With attention to correct horn development and breed conformation, their cattle often find success in both small farms and agricultural shows. Owners appreciate the cattle’s calm temperaments and clear pedigrees, reflecting the farm’s commitment to transparency and animal well-being.
