Highplains Ranch, Inc.

Highplains Ranch, Inc. raises Scottish highland cattle in Jefferson, CO, serving Park County and the South Park region near Denver. Its operation includes breed association memberships, regular health testing, detailed record-keeping, and breeding selections guided by longevity, temperament, and structural soundness to support robust genetics.

The cattle graze on open pasture throughout the year, have access to sheltered loafing sheds, and receive daily handling to encourage calm interactions. Prospective owners receive ongoing support, seasonal herd health updates, and detailed care instructions.

At over 8,000 feet elevation, the ranch’s cooler climate and mountain breezes suit the breed’s hardy constitution. Each animal receives annual veterinary exams, vaccinations, and hoof care as part of a preventive wellness protocol. Calves remain with their dams until weaning and are gradually introduced to supplemental feed to support healthy growth. Visitors to the ranch often comment on the animals’ calm presence and the serene mountain backdrop.
