Greenish Acres

Greenish Acres, Scottish highland cattle, Foreston, MN, is situated in Mille Lacs County in central Minnesota near St. Cloud. Sam Johnson has cared for Scottish highland cattle for over a decade and follows American Highland Cattle Association guidelines for health testing, vaccination protocols, and hoof care. Each animal is tracked with individual health records and receives tailored mineral supplementation on rotating pasture systems.

Calves are handled daily from birth to encourage calm, confident behavior, and the herd transitions across open fields to promote natural foraging. Greenish Acres maintains sturdy fencing and clean shelters equipped with ample bedding to ensure year-round comfort. The farm’s modest herd size allows close observation of each animal, making it easier to spot subtle changes in appetite or behavior. Visitors often remark on the gentle temperament of the cattle and the thoughtful approach to preserving classic breed traits such as hardiness and strong maternal instincts.
