Highland Hills Cattle Ranch

Highland Hills Cattle Ranch, Scottish Highland cattle, Shawnee, OK, sits in central Oklahoma near Oklahoma City. Jay Bedernak and Cheryl Bedernak have been raising these hardy cattle for several years and participate in breed association events while adhering to recommended health screening protocols. Their pasture-based approach ensures herds graze native grasses on rotational paddocks with shelter access and regular handling that eases young calves into social settings.

Family-run since its founding, the ranch balances traditional livestock stewardship with attentive care, and visitors often note the animals’ calm dispositions. Lean beef and breeding stock from this herd are appreciated for consistent structure and docile temperaments, reflecting the Bedernaks’ focus on animal well-being.

Their breeding program emphasizes sound conformation, maternal traits and adaptability to Oklahoma’s variable climate. By raising cattle in an open grazing system, they support natural foraging behaviors and herd cohesion.
