Highlands In The Glen Farm, LLC

Highlands In The Glen Farm, LLC raises Scottish Highland cattle in Mokena, IL, serving Will County and the Chicago area. The farm is a registered member of the American Highland Cattle Association, maintains pedigree records for each animal and follows recommended health testing protocols to ensure robust, genetically sound stock.

Animals graze on pasture with shelter barns, live in small family groups and receive regular socialization to support their calm temperament. Winter feeding relies on locally grown hay, straw bedding and minimal supplements to maintain herd health during colder months. Jack Faltz cares for each calf by name, emphasizes sustainable pasture management on rolling fields and employs cover crop rotation to enrich the soil.

The rural setting on working farmland allows rotational grazing across multiple pastures to follow seasonal forage cycles. This early handling promotes a gentle disposition, strengthens trust and highlights the breed’s distinctive horns and hardy constitution. The farm upholds a tradition of exhibiting at county fairs, shares insights at community workshops and contributes to local agricultural education.
