Honey Creek Farm

Honey Creek Farm are breeders of Scottish Highland cattle in New Providence, IA, in central Iowa near Des Moines. Owned by Linn and Dee Reece, the farm has more than a decade of experience raising cattle registered with national breed associations and following recommended health testing protocols. Animals live in open pastures with access to shelter and rotational grazing routines, and calves are introduced to daily handling early to encourage calm temperaments.

The couple focuses on balanced conformation and strong maternal traits, drawing on their family’s roots in small-scale farming to maintain practical bloodlines. An independent reviewer noted the herd’s gentle nature and consistent birth weights, reflecting careful attention to nutrition and herd health. Since its founding on a restored homestead, the operation has preserved heirloom fencing and timber structures that complement the cattle’s grazing habitats. Their approach highlights the breed’s natural hardiness and the couple’s dedication to balancing tradition with practical herd management.
