Hill Hole Highlands

Hill Hole Highlands, Scottish Highland cattle, S Melba, Idaho, in Canyon County and the Snake River Valley near Boise. Zachary Hill has been raising Scottish Highland cattle for several years and follows guidelines from recognized breed associations. He is a member of the American Highland Cattle Association and regularly participates in local shows to stay updated on best practices.

The farm maintains herd health through regular veterinary screenings and genetic panels while using rotational grazing to support pasture resilience and animal wellbeing. The cattle graze on open pasture year-round and receive hands-on socialization from early calfhood in this family-run setting. Calves remain with their mothers and are gradually introduced to hand-feeding so they become comfortable around people.

Visitors often note the cattle’s gentle disposition and the farm’s peaceful backdrop beneath rolling foothills. This focus on low-stress handling and pasture diversity reflects a commitment to sustainable land stewardship.
