Jacob's Grove

Jacob’s Grove, Scottish highland cattle, Sac City, IA in Sac County and northwest Iowa near Sioux City. Randy and Christine Batz have over fifteen years of experience as members of the American Highland Cattle Association, following strict guidelines and conducting genetic testing for horn development and disease resistance. Their herd grazes on open pastures, and calves are handled gently from birth to foster calm, confident cattle ready for small farms or homesteads. Jacob’s Grove emphasizes rotational grazing and seasonal shelter to support natural behaviors and reduce stress.

Several young bulls from Jacob’s Grove have placed well at county fairs, including top ribbons at the Sac County fair. They employ regenerative practices that enrich soil health and preserve pasture quality. Visitors often note the calm temperament and robust build of the cattle, reflecting the breeders’ attentive care and commitment to breed standards.
