Hidden B Acres

Hidden B Acres, Scottish Highland cattle, New Ulm, MN in Brown County and the Minnesota River Valley near Mankato. Troy Booth has spent years raising this resilient breed, maintaining detailed breeding records and following association-recommended health testing. The herd grazes on rotational grass pastures, and calves grow up with close maternal contact under a low-stress handling system.

A seasonal calving program helps balance workload, sustains pasture quality, and supports year-round herd health. Deep roots in local farming traditions support lineage and temperament traits valued by small-scale ranchers and homesteaders. Animals are accustomed to mixed livestock environments, promoting steady growth and calm temperaments throughout the year.

Clean shelters shield the cattle from Minnesota’s winter extremes, and regular veterinary checks ensure ongoing herd wellness. Prospective breeders appreciate the farm’s transparent care guides and Troy’s willingness to share practical insights on sustainable practices.
