Front Forty Farms

Front Forty Farms, Scottish Highland cattle, Kansas City, MO, operates on a family homestead in Jackson County and the Kansas City area near Independence. Lucas Clark has raised Highland cattle for over a decade and holds membership in the American Highland Cattle Association, with routine health screenings for genetic disorders. Animals graze rotationally on native pasture and are introduced to handling pens early to ensure steady acclimation to farm life. Breeding decisions emphasize sound conformation and calm disposition, guided by performance records at regional shows.

Home to a century-old barn converted to calf nursery, Front Forty Farms nurtures strong maternal lines and hearty temperaments. Periodic farm visits allow prospective owners to observe herd behavior and farming philosophy firsthand. Several animals have earned ribbons at state fairs, reflecting the farm’s steady focus on breed standards. Reviewers note the farm’s open barn days where families can meet calves in a relaxed setting.
