Grouse Creek

Grouse Creek, Scottish highland cattle, Bozeman, MT, in the Gallatin Valley near Billings. Grouse Creek is run by Jennifer Kent, who has been breeding Scottish highland cattle for over a decade with a focus on health testing for genetic conditions and clear traceability through individual ear tags. Its herd grazes across rolling pastureland at 5730 Jackson Creek Rd, where spring calving, rotational grazing and natural shelter help maintain animal welfare year-round.

Jennifer’s husbandry approach emphasizes low-stress handling, regular herd health screenings and close attention to temperament development during the first weeks of life. The cattle grow on a diet of native grasses and hay made on site, with mineral supplements provided during winter to support immune function. Visitors often remark on the cattle’s calm disposition and the open, airy layout of the farm facilities. The farm’s commitment to sustainable land management and animal welfare is evident in every aspect of daily care.
