Happy Hills Farms, LLC

Happy Hills Farms, LLC raises Scottish Highland cattle in Manchester, IA, serving Northeast Iowa and the Cedar Rapids area. Over the past decade it has focused on thoughtful breeding practices and maintains active memberships in national cattle associations, with all animals undergoing routine health screenings. Animals live on rotational pasture systems and receive daily interaction with the Bernau family to foster calm temperaments and early socialization.

John and Amy Bernau share a passion for preserving the breed’s distinctive horns and hardy nature, and their farm heritage stretches back to multi-generational livestock stewardship. Their calves grow up alongside other farm animals in spacious paddocks, which helps them adapt smoothly to new environments. Clients often note the gentle demeanor and robust health of these cattle as highlights of their breeding program. Calves are introduced to basic handling routines early, supporting easier transitions for those seeking breeding stock or quality beef production.
