Greenwood Ranch

Greenwood Ranch is a Scottish Highland cattle breeder in Beaverton, MI, in Gladwin County near Saginaw. They have devoted years to strengthening their herds through affiliations with the American Highland Cattle Association and national livestock organizations, backed by routine health screenings and genetic evaluations.

Their cattle graze on open pastures with seasonal rotation to encourage diverse forage consumption and minimize parasite loads, and they receive daily handling from a young age to promote calm temperaments. Barns feature deep-bedded stalls and windbreaks to keep cattle comfortable through Michigan winters, while monitored maternity pens support newborn health and early socialization. Family-owned by Jeff Greenwood and Abby Greenwood, the ranch combines low-stress handling techniques with sustainable pasture management. Calves from each season are registered with the association for careful pedigree tracking and herd improvement. The rolling fields border native woodlands, offering natural shade and shelter throughout the seasons. Visitors remark on the farm’s welcoming atmosphere and the herd’s approachable nature.
