Highland Meadows

Highland Meadows, Scottish Highland cattle in Stephenson, Michigan, is based in the Upper Peninsula near Marquette. Their cattle are registered with national breed associations and undergo comprehensive health screenings for common genetic conditions. Highland Meadows participates in performance recording to monitor growth rates and maternal traits across each calf crop. Calving season runs from early spring through summer, allowing the herd to benefit from abundant forage and minimal stress during winter months.

Feed programs combine local hay and mineral supplements tailored to each stage of growth, reflecting a balanced nutrition plan on the farm. Animals graze on rotational pasture enriched with native grasses, and calves are handled regularly to foster calm temperaments.

Jeff Walcher and Patricia Walcher bring over two decades of ranching experience, blending traditional methods with sustainable pasture management. Their focus on animal welfare and land stewardship helps maintain soil health and supports thriving herds year-round.
