Hansen Highlands

Hansen Highlands raises Scottish Highland cattle in Imlay City, MI, in Lapeer County and the Blue Water area near Port Huron.

Kayla Hansen has been raising these rugged cattle for several years under guidelines of the American Highland Cattle Association and ensures every animal receives routine health testing. She participates in regional livestock shows and exchanges insights with other breeders. The herd grazes on mixed pastures and is handled gently from birth to build calm, trusting animals.

Calving barns are spacious and ventilated to support both cow comfort and calf safety, and seasonal rotational grazing helps maintain pasture health. The farm’s modest size allows Kayla to oversee daily care personally, nurturing livestock with attention to diet, socialization and natural herd dynamics. Winter feeding includes locally sourced hay and a trace mineral supplement to support coat quality. Visitors often comment on the herd’s distinctive long horns and thick coats that reflect the breed’s Scottish heritage.
