Gar-Lyn Enterprise

Gar-Lyn Enterprise is raising Scottish highland cattle in Merritt, MI, in the Great Lakes region near Grand Rapids. Gary Jr. has bred these cattle for over a decade under national registry standards and ensures regular health testing to support animal welfare.

Each calf spends its earliest weeks alongside its mother in pasture settings, where socialization with family herds guides their growth. The cattle graze on mixed grasses and receive shelter in timber-framed barns that reflect a long family tradition of modest farming. Regular hoof trimming and seasonal wellness checks are part of its routine care.

Gar-Lyn Enterprise aims to foster calm temperaments and hearty conformation, with several animals praised for their ease in small ranch environments. Visitors often remark on the gentle nature of the herd during farm visits, highlighting a relaxed temperament and sturdy build. Its cattle are well suited for grass-based operations and small-scale homesteads seeking reliable, low-maintenance livestock.
