Highland Connection

Highland Connection raises Scottish Highland cattle in Lawrence, Kansas, in northeast Kansas near Kansas City. Raymond Gonnet has long focused on sound genetic lines and follows recommended guidelines for herd health, including routine veterinary assessments and genetic screening. The cattle graze on well-managed pastures, rotating through paddocks that support healthy forage growth.

Herd members enjoy spacious huts and open shelter, gentle daily handling and early exposure to family life to foster calm temperaments. Their breeding program draws on experience gathered over multiple seasons to enhance the breed’s characteristic hardiness. They maintain small herd sizes to ensure individual attention, reflecting a commitment to quality over quantity. Highland Connection is a member of the American Highland Cattle Association, and their calves often earn praise for rugged health and gentle disposition. Highland Connection’s approach combines traditional husbandry with an eye toward consistent temperament, making their cattle well suited for small farms and homestead settings.
