Gracious Plenty Farms

Gracious Plenty Farms, Scottish highland cattle in Livonia, MI, is based in southeastern Michigan near Detroit. Michele Woolford has over a decade of experience managing a small-scale herd, regularly attends regional livestock workshops to stay updated on best practices, and her operation follows routine veterinary health checks for all animals. Breeding decisions prioritize temperament and structural soundness to support herd longevity. Calves are raised on pasture with an emphasis on low-stress handling and gradual socialization to farm life.

The farm’s rolling fields are rotationally grazed to maintain soil health and provide consistent forage. In colder months, cattle are provided with sheltered barns and locally sourced hay to ensure steady nutrition. Visitors frequently remark on the calm nature of the cattle and the relaxed pace of life at the farm. Whether bred for meat quality or conservation grazing, these Scottish highland cattle reflect a thoughtful approach to sustainable husbandry and animal welfare.
